PRELIMINARY ACID SULFATE SOIL STUDY PROPOSED POTASH PROJECT LAKE WELLS
Dear Lisa,
1. INTRODUCTION
This technical memorandum presents the results Galt Environmental Pty Ltd’s (Galt’s) preliminary acid sulfate soil (ASS) study
undertaken at the location for a proposed potash mining project at Lake Wells (the site). The location of the site relative to the
surrounding location is shown on Figure 1, Site and Location Plan.
The work was authorised by Matthew Shackleton from Australian Potash Limited (APL) via a signed client authorisation form dated
18 November 2016.
This document supersedes J1601242 001 TM Rev0 dated 14 December 2016 and addresses comment received from you via an
email dated 16 December 2016.
2. SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Based on the supplied information, we understand that a potash mining project is proposed for a portion of Lake Wells located
approximately 180 km of Laverton. We further understand that submissions for the initial environmental approvals for a small‐
scale brine evaporation trial are currently being prepared and this preliminary ASS study is required to support these submissions.
We understand APL proposes to implement a small‐scale evaporation trial in 2017. The trial will involve pumping up to 650 m3 of
brine from an existing production bore into a nominal 52 m x 85 m lined pond complex to allow production of a 20 tonne bulk
sample of potash salts.
3. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the study were to:
broadly assess the nature and extent of ASS conditions across the site; and
make recommendations for further studies (if required).
Note: In additional to characterising the nature and extent as ASS, additional laboratory testing was conducted to establish
baseline concentrations of heavy metals and total organic carbon (TOC) at the site.

4. FIELDWORK
The fieldwork was conducted on 21 to 23 November 2016 and comprised:
a walkover and inspection of the site;
advancement of hand‐augered boreholes at 7 locations to depths of 0.5 m to 1.0 m;
excavation of test pits at 2 locations to a depths of between and 0.4 m and 1.5 m; and
collection of representative samples for inspection and laboratory testing.
General
Test locations were selected and positioned by a geotechnical engineer from Galt and a site representative from APL. Test
locations were recorded using a handheld GPS accurate to about 5 m in the horizontal plane. The engineer undertook the site
walkover, augered the boreholes, observed the test pits, logged the materials encountered and selected representative samples
for laboratory testing.
Boreholes and Test Pits
Hand auger boreholes were advanced with a manually operated hand auger supplied and operated by a Galt representative. Test
pits were excavated at locations PL06 and PL10 with machinery operated by a contractor to GRL.
Borehole reports and summary test pit logs are presented in Attachment B along with a method of soil description, a method of
cementation classification and a list of explanatory notes and abbreviations used in the reports.
Soil Sampling
Soil samples were collected from boreholes and test pits in accordance with the following guideline and Australian Standard (AS):
Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) (2015) Identification and Investigation of Acid Sulfate Soils and Acidic
Landscapes; and
AS 4482.1 (2005) Guide to the Investigation and Sampling of Sites with Potentially Contaminated Soil Part I Non‐Volatile
and Semi Volatile Compounds.
Samples were collected using disposable nitrile gloves and placed in laboratory supplied plastic zip‐lock bags. The samples were
then placed in a chilled cooler until submission to the laboratory for analysis.
Acid Sulfate Soil Field Testing
Soil samples were tested for pH before (pHF) and after (pHFOX) rapid oxidation with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The field tests were
undertaken to provide an indication of soil types likely to have the potential to generate acidity as a result of oxidation during
earthworks. Test results are presented in Table A1.
5. LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory analysis was undertaken using the suspension peroxide oxidation combined acidity and sulfur (SPOCAS) and chromium
reducible sulfur (CRS) methods which provides acid base accounting and quantification of potential acid generation. In addition,
unpulverised samples were tested using the SPOCAS and CRS methods to gain an understanding of the natural acid neutralising
capacity (ANC) available in the soil.
Additional analysis was undertaken for a range of heavy metals and TOC to establish baseline conditions for the site.

Analysis of soil samples was undertaken by Eurofins in their NATA accredited laboratory. Laboratory test results are presented in
Attachment C.
6. SITE CONDITIONS
6.1 Geology
The Throssell sheet of the 1:250,000 scale Geological series maps indicates that the site is likely to be underlain by sand
(windblown dunes) or clay (playa lakes), depending on the location of testing.
6.2 Subsurface Conditions
The subsurface conditions encountered at the sampling locations, located across the playa lakes in this study (Figure 1) are
summarised as follows:
SAND, fine to medium grained, white/pale brown/yellow, trace fines, trace organics, trace fine gravel, salt crust at
surface, typically loose to medium dense, dry, present from surface to depths of between 0.1 m and 0.3 m; overlying
SAND / Silty SAND, predominantly fine grained, pale brown/brown, non‐plastic fines, trace gravel, moist, typically
medium dense, present to maximum depth of investigation (1.0 m).
Clayey soil was encountered below the surficial sand layer at PL‐01 which is located on the western edge of the playa. This material
can be described as:
Clayey SAND/Sandy CLAY; fine grained, low to medium plasticity, brown, trace gravel, moist/wet, firm to stiff, present
below surficial sand to maximum depth of investigation (1.0 m).
Test pits PL06 and PL10 were located in the transition between the high dune area and the playa lakes. Material encountered at
these test pits can be described as:
Silty Clayey SAND, fine to medium grained, brown, low plasticity, moist.
Note: Material from the high dune system was not sampled as part of this study.
6.3 Acid Sulfate Soils
The DER ASS risk mapping indicates that the playa lakes within the area are mapped as having high to moderate risk of ASS
occurrence. Areas outside the playa lakes are mapped as having no known risk of ASS.
The ASS risk mapping is shown on Figure 2.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
7.1 Acid Sulfate Soils
7.1.1. Assessment Criteria
In most cases, field pH values (pHF) of <3 to 4 indicate the presence of actual acid sulfate soils (AASS), thus indicating acids in the
soil profile have oxidised.
The presence of unoxidised acids or potential acid sulfate soil (PASS) is indicated if:
J1601242 002 TM Rev1 20 December 2016
Galt Environmental Pty Ltd
www.galtenv.com.au 4/15 Walters Drive OSBORNE PARK WA 6017
Page | 4 ABN: 96 520 810 622
a strong reaction with hydrogen peroxide is observed;
the pHFOX is at least 1 pH unit below pHF; or
the pHFOX is <3 to 4 and one or both of the above conditions apply.
The texture based net acidity action criteria presented in the DER (2015) Identification and Investigation of Acid Sulfate Soils and
Acidic Landscapes guideline document specifies a value of 0.03 %S based on the anticipated volume of soil proposed to be
disturbed being greater than 1,000 tonnes. As such, this value has been adopted for the assessment of net acidity in soils across
the site.
7.1.2. Field Testing Results
Soil field testing results are presented in Table A1, Acid Sulfate Soil Test Results and are discussed below.
Field pHF test results for all soil samples ranged from 5.5 (BH01/0.0 m) to 8.8 (BH01/1.25 m, BH04/4.75 m, BH04/5.50 m).
Field pHFOX test results were lower, ranging from 4.2 (BH03/6.75 m) to 6.4 (BH02/0.25 m, BH04/6.00 m).
Differences between pHF and pHFOX levels in individual soil samples ranged from 0.9 (BH02/0.25 m) to 3.3 (BH02/4.25 m).
During oxidation, 121 out of the 124 samples displayed a low reaction with three samples displaying a moderate reaction.
7.1.3. Laboratory Analysis
The acid sulfate soil analytical results using the SPOCAS and CRS methods are presented in Table A1 and are discussed below.
Titratable actual acidity (TAA), titratable sulfidic acidity (TSA), titratable peroxide acidity (TPA), peroxide oxidisable sulfur
(SPOS) and CRS concentrations were below the laboratory limit of report (LOR) in all samples.
The calculated net acidity was <0.02 %S in all samples.
All samples displayed moderate to high levels of excess ANC (taken from the SPOCAS suite) and total ANC (taken from
the CRS suite) during standard testing and testing of unpulverised samples.
7.1.4. Summary
The study indicates that ASS are not present in the material tested. Furthermore, appreciable quantities of ANC are presented
within the soils tested suggesting that the material has significant self‐buffering ability.
We note that this samples taken during this study were generally of shallow material (i.e. from less than 1.0 m depth). In the event
that significant excavations below 1 m are required as part of mining operations, additional characterisation of ASS may be
required. Furthermore, the testing done is sparse compared with the test frequency recommended by the DER.
7.2 Heavy Metals and Total Organic Carbon
The results of heavy metal and TOC analysis are presented in Table A2 and are discussed below.
The concentrations of the majority of heavy metals were recorded either below the laboratory LOR or marginally (1 to 2
orders of magnitude) above the laboratory LOR.
The concentrations of aluminium and iron were 4 to 5 orders of magnitude higher than the laboratory LOR which is
consistent with the expected chemical composition of the material.
High concentrations of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium and sulfur were detected in the majority of samples
and this is consistent with the known composition of soils from the playa.
The concentration of TOC was either below or marginally above the LOR in all samples.

8. CONCLUSION
Based on the results of the study, we make the following conclusions:
ASS are not present within the materials tested;
significant quantities of ANC are present in the natural soils indicating that the material has appreciable self‐buffering
capacity; and
the metals and TOC analysis is considered to a suitable baseline for the establishment of current site conditions.

Description
All resistances are relative to the selected method of excavation
Soil Name
Sands and gravels are free flowing. Clays and silts may be brittle or friable and powdery.
Soils exude free water. Sands and gravels tend to cohere.
Soils are darker than in the dry condition and may feel cool. Sands and gravels tend to cohere.

Sample HistoryWhere samples are submitted/analysed over several days, the last date of extraction and analysis is reported.A recent review of our LIMS has resulted in the correction or clarification of some method identifications. Due to this, some of the method reference information on reports has changed. However,no substantive change has been made to our laboratory methods, and as such there is no change in the validity of current or previous results (regarding both quality and NATA accreditation).
If the date and time of sampling are not provided, the Laboratory will not be responsible for compromised results should testing be performed outside the recommended holding time.

QC - Acceptance Criteria
QC Data General Comments
1. Laboratory QC results for Method Blanks, Duplicates, Matrix Spikes, and Laboratory Control Samples are included in this QC report where applicable. Additional QC data may be available on
request.
2. All soil results are reported on a dry basis, unless otherwise stated.
3. Actual LORs are matrix dependant. Quoted LORs may be raised where sample extracts are diluted due to interferences.
4. Results are uncorrected for matrix spikes or surrogate recoveries.
5. SVOC analysis on waters are performed on homogenised, unfiltered samples, unless noted otherwise.
6. Samples were analysed on an 'as received' basis. 7. This report replaces any interim results previously issued.
Please refer to 'Sample Preservation and Container Guide' for holding times (QS3001).
For samples received on the last day of holding time, notification of testing requirements should have been received at least 6 hours prior to sample receipt deadlines as stated on the Sample
Receipt Advice.
If the Laboratory did not receive the information in the required timeframe, and regardless of any other integrity issues, suitably qualified results may still be reported.
Holding times apply from the date of sampling, therefore compliance to these may be outside the laboratory's control.
**NOTE: pH duplicates are reported as a range NOT as RPD
mg/kg: milligrams per Kilogram mg/l: milligrams per litre
ug/l: micrograms per litre ppm: Parts per million
ppb: Parts per billion %: Percentage
org/100ml: Organisms per 100 millilitres NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Units
MPN/100mL: Most Probable Number of organisms per 100 millilitres
Dry Where a moisture has been determined on a solid sample the result is expressed on a dry basis.
LOR Limit of Reporting.
SPIKE Addition of the analyte to the sample and reported as percentage recovery.
RPD Relative Percent Difference between two Duplicate pieces of analysis.
LCS Laboratory Control Sample - reported as percent recovery
CRM Certified Reference Material - reported as percent recovery
Method Blank In the case of solid samples these are performed on laboratory certified clean sands.
In the case of water samples these are performed on de-ionised water.
Surr - Surrogate The addition of a like compound to the analyte target and reported as percentage recovery.
Duplicate A second piece of analysis from the same sample and reported in the same units as the result to show comparison.
Batch Duplicate A second piece of analysis from a sample outside of the clients batch of samples but run within the laboratory batch of analysis.
Batch SPIKE Spike recovery reported on a sample from outside of the clients batch of samples but run within the laboratory batch of analysis.

CP Client Parent - QC was performed on samples pertaining to this report
NCP Non-Client Parent - QC performed on samples not pertaining to this report, QC is representative of the sequence or batch that client samples were analysed within
TEQ Toxic Equivalency Quotient
RPD Duplicates: Global RPD Duplicates Acceptance Criteria is 30% however the following acceptance guidelines are equally applicable:
Results <10 times the LOR : No Limit
Results between 10-20 times the LOR : RPD must lie between 0-50%
Results >20 times the LOR : RPD must lie between 0-30%
Surrogate Recoveries: Recoveries must lie between 50-150%-Phenols & PFASs 20-130%
1. Where a result is reported as a less than (<), higher than the nominated LOR, this is due to either matrix interference, extract dilution required due to interferences or contaminant levels within
the sample, high moisture content or insufficient sample provided.
2. Duplicate data shown within this report that states the word "BATCH" is a Batch Duplicate from outside of your sample batch, but within the laboratory sample batch at a 1:10 ratio. The Parent
and Duplicate data shown is not data from your samples.
3. Organochlorine Pesticide analysis - where reporting LCS data, Toxaphene & Chlordane are not added to the LCS.
4. Organochlorine Pesticide analysis - where reporting Spike data, Toxaphene is not added to the Spike.
5. Total Recoverable Hydrocarbons - where reporting Spike & LCS data, a single spike of commercial Hydrocarbon products in the range of C12-C30 is added and it's Total Recovery is reported
in the C10-C14 cell of the Report.
6. pH and Free Chlorine analysed in the laboratory - Analysis on this test must begin within 30 minutes of sampling.Therefore laboratory analysis is unlikely to be completed within holding time.
Analysis will begin as soon as possible after sample receipt.
7. Recovery Data (Spikes & Surrogates) - where chromatographic interference does not allow the determination of Recovery the term "INT" appears against that analyte.
8. Polychlorinated Biphenyls are spiked only using Aroclor 1260 in Matrix Spikes and LCS.
9. For Matrix Spikes and LCS results a dash " -" in the report means that the specific analyte was not added to the QC sample.
10. Duplicate RPDs are calculated from raw analytical data thus it is possible to have two sets of data.

Qualifier Codes/Comments
Code Description
S01Liming rate is calculated and reported on a dry weight basis assuming use of fine agricultural lime (CaCO3) and using a safety factor of 1.5 to allow for non-homogeneous mixingand poor reactivity of lime. For conversion of Liming Rate from 'kg/t dry weight' to 'kg/m3 in-situ soil' multiply 'reported results' x 'wet bulk density of soil in t/m3'
S02 Retained Acidity is Reported when the pHKCl is less than pH 4.5
S03 Acid Neutralising Capacity is only required if the pHKCl if greater than or equal to pH 6.5
S04 Acid Sulfate Soil Samples have a 24 hour holding time unless frozen or dried within that period

Sample HistoryWhere samples are submitted/analysed over several days, the last date of extraction and analysis is reported.A recent review of our LIMS has resulted in the correction or clarification of some method identifications. Due to this, some of the method reference information on reports has changed. However,no substantive change has been made to our laboratory methods, and as such there is no change in the validity of current or previous results (regarding both quality and NATA accreditation).
If the date and time of sampling are not provided, the Laboratory will not be responsible for compromised results should testing be performed outside the recommended holding time.

QC - Acceptance Criteria
QC Data General Comments
1. Laboratory QC results for Method Blanks, Duplicates, Matrix Spikes, and Laboratory Control Samples are included in this QC report where applicable. Additional QC data may be available on
request.
2. All soil results are reported on a dry basis, unless otherwise stated.
3. Actual LORs are matrix dependant. Quoted LORs may be raised where sample extracts are diluted due to interferences.
4. Results are uncorrected for matrix spikes or surrogate recoveries.
5. SVOC analysis on waters are performed on homogenised, unfiltered samples, unless noted otherwise.
6. Samples were analysed on an 'as received' basis. 7. This report replaces any interim results previously issued.
Please refer to 'Sample Preservation and Container Guide' for holding times (QS3001).
For samples received on the last day of holding time, notification of testing requirements should have been received at least 6 hours prior to sample receipt deadlines as stated on the Sample
Receipt Advice.
If the Laboratory did not receive the information in the required timeframe, and regardless of any other integrity issues, suitably qualified results may still be reported.
Holding times apply from the date of sampling, therefore compliance to these may be outside the laboratory's control.
**NOTE: pH duplicates are reported as a range NOT as RPD
mg/kg: milligrams per Kilogram mg/l: milligrams per litre
ug/l: micrograms per litre ppm: Parts per million
ppb: Parts per billion %: Percentage
org/100ml: Organisms per 100 millilitres NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Units
MPN/100mL: Most Probable Number of organisms per 100 millilitres
Dry Where a moisture has been determined on a solid sample the result is expressed on a dry basis.
LOR Limit of Reporting.
SPIKE Addition of the analyte to the sample and reported as percentage recovery.
RPD Relative Percent Difference between two Duplicate pieces of analysis.
LCS Laboratory Control Sample - reported as percent recovery
CRM Certified Reference Material - reported as percent recovery
Method Blank In the case of solid samples these are performed on laboratory certified clean sands.
In the case of water samples these are performed on de-ionised water.
Surr - Surrogate The addition of a like compound to the analyte target and reported as percentage recovery.
Duplicate A second piece of analysis from the same sample and reported in the same units as the result to show comparison.
Batch Duplicate A second piece of analysis from a sample outside of the clients batch of samples but run within the laboratory batch of analysis.
Batch SPIKE Spike recovery reported on a sample from outside of the clients batch of samples but run within the laboratory batch of analysis.

CP Client Parent - QC was performed on samples pertaining to this report
NCP Non-Client Parent - QC performed on samples not pertaining to this report, QC is representative of the sequence or batch that client samples were analysed within
TEQ Toxic Equivalency Quotient
RPD Duplicates: Global RPD Duplicates Acceptance Criteria is 30% however the following acceptance guidelines are equally applicable:
Results <10 times the LOR : No Limit
Results between 10-20 times the LOR : RPD must lie between 0-50%
Results >20 times the LOR : RPD must lie between 0-30%
Surrogate Recoveries: Recoveries must lie between 50-150%-Phenols & PFASs 20-130%
1. Where a result is reported as a less than (<), higher than the nominated LOR, this is due to either matrix interference, extract dilution required due to interferences or contaminant levels within
the sample, high moisture content or insufficient sample provided.
2. Duplicate data shown within this report that states the word "BATCH" is a Batch Duplicate from outside of your sample batch, but within the laboratory sample batch at a 1:10 ratio. The Parent
and Duplicate data shown is not data from your samples.
3. Organochlorine Pesticide analysis - where reporting LCS data, Toxaphene & Chlordane are not added to the LCS.
4. Organochlorine Pesticide analysis - where reporting Spike data, Toxaphene is not added to the Spike.
5. Total Recoverable Hydrocarbons - where reporting Spike & LCS data, a single spike of commercial Hydrocarbon products in the range of C12-C30 is added and it's Total Recovery is reported
in the C10-C14 cell of the Report.
6. pH and Free Chlorine analysed in the laboratory - Analysis on this test must begin within 30 minutes of sampling.Therefore laboratory analysis is unlikely to be completed within holding time.
Analysis will begin as soon as possible after sample receipt.
7. Recovery Data (Spikes & Surrogates) - where chromatographic interference does not allow the determination of Recovery the term "INT" appears against that analyte.
8. Polychlorinated Biphenyls are spiked only using Aroclor 1260 in Matrix Spikes and LCS.
9. For Matrix Spikes and LCS results a dash " -" in the report means that the specific analyte was not added to the QC sample.
10. Duplicate RPDs are calculated from raw analytical data thus it is possible to have two sets of data.

Code Description
S01Liming rate is calculated and reported on a dry weight basis assuming use of fine agricultural lime (CaCO3) and using a safety factor of 1.5 to allow for non-homogeneous mixingand poor reactivity of lime. For conversion of Liming Rate from 'kg/t dry weight' to 'kg/m3 in-situ soil' multiply 'reported results' x 'wet bulk density of soil in t/m3'
S02 Retained Acidity is Reported when the pHKCl is less than pH 4.5
S03 Acid Neutralising Capacity is only required if the pHKCl if greater than or equal to pH 6.5
S04 Acid Sulfate Soil Samples have a 24 hour holding time unless frozen or dried within that period

Report Number: 526462-S
Sample HistoryWhere samples are submitted/analysed over several days, the last date of extraction and analysis is reported.A recent review of our LIMS has resulted in the correction or clarification of some method identifications. Due to this, some of the method reference information on reports has changed. However,no substantive change has been made to our laboratory methods, and as such there is no change in the validity of current or previous results (regarding both quality and NATA accreditation).
If the date and time of sampling are not provided, the Laboratory will not be responsible for compromised results should testing be performed outside the recommended holding time.

QC - Acceptance Criteria
QC Data General Comments
1. Laboratory QC results for Method Blanks, Duplicates, Matrix Spikes, and Laboratory Control Samples are included in this QC report where applicable. Additional QC data may be available on
request.
2. All soil results are reported on a dry basis, unless otherwise stated.
3. Actual LORs are matrix dependant. Quoted LORs may be raised where sample extracts are diluted due to interferences.
4. Results are uncorrected for matrix spikes or surrogate recoveries.
5. SVOC analysis on waters are performed on homogenised, unfiltered samples, unless noted otherwise.
6. Samples were analysed on an 'as received' basis. 7. This report replaces any interim results previously issued.
Please refer to 'Sample Preservation and Container Guide' for holding times (QS3001).
For samples received on the last day of holding time, notification of testing requirements should have been received at least 6 hours prior to sample receipt deadlines as stated on the Sample
Receipt Advice.
If the Laboratory did not receive the information in the required timeframe, and regardless of any other integrity issues, suitably qualified results may still be reported.
Holding times apply from the date of sampling, therefore compliance to these may be outside the laboratory's control.
**NOTE: pH duplicates are reported as a range NOT as RPD
mg/kg: milligrams per Kilogram mg/l: milligrams per litre
ug/l: micrograms per litre ppm: Parts per million
ppb: Parts per billion %: Percentage
org/100ml: Organisms per 100 millilitres NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Units
MPN/100mL: Most Probable Number of organisms per 100 millilitres
Dry Where a moisture has been determined on a solid sample the result is expressed on a dry basis.
LOR Limit of Reporting.
SPIKE Addition of the analyte to the sample and reported as percentage recovery.
RPD Relative Percent Difference between two Duplicate pieces of analysis.
LCS Laboratory Control Sample - reported as percent recovery
CRM Certified Reference Material - reported as percent recovery
Method Blank In the case of solid samples these are performed on laboratory certified clean sands.
In the case of water samples these are performed on de-ionised water.
Surr - Surrogate The addition of a like compound to the analyte target and reported as percentage recovery.
Duplicate A second piece of analysis from the same sample and reported in the same units as the result to show comparison.
Batch Duplicate A second piece of analysis from a sample outside of the clients batch of samples but run within the laboratory batch of analysis.
Batch SPIKE Spike recovery reported on a sample from outside of the clients batch of samples but run within the laboratory batch of analysis.

CP Client Parent - QC was performed on samples pertaining to this report
NCP Non-Client Parent - QC performed on samples not pertaining to this report, QC is representative of the sequence or batch that client samples were analysed within
TEQ Toxic Equivalency Quotient
RPD Duplicates: Global RPD Duplicates Acceptance Criteria is 30% however the following acceptance guidelines are equally applicable:
Results <10 times the LOR : No Limit
Results between 10-20 times the LOR : RPD must lie between 0-50%
Results >20 times the LOR : RPD must lie between 0-30%
Surrogate Recoveries: Recoveries must lie between 50-150%-Phenols & PFASs 20-130%
1. Where a result is reported as a less than (<), higher than the nominated LOR, this is due to either matrix interference, extract dilution required due to interferences or contaminant levels within
the sample, high moisture content or insufficient sample provided.
2. Duplicate data shown within this report that states the word "BATCH" is a Batch Duplicate from outside of your sample batch, but within the laboratory sample batch at a 1:10 ratio. The Parent
and Duplicate data shown is not data from your samples.
3. Organochlorine Pesticide analysis - where reporting LCS data, Toxaphene & Chlordane are not added to the LCS.
4. Organochlorine Pesticide analysis - where reporting Spike data, Toxaphene is not added to the Spike.
5. Total Recoverable Hydrocarbons - where reporting Spike & LCS data, a single spike of commercial Hydrocarbon products in the range of C12-C30 is added and it's Total Recovery is reported
in the C10-C14 cell of the Report.
6. pH and Free Chlorine analysed in the laboratory - Analysis on this test must begin within 30 minutes of sampling.Therefore laboratory analysis is unlikely to be completed within holding time.
Analysis will begin as soon as possible after sample receipt.
7. Recovery Data (Spikes & Surrogates) - where chromatographic interference does not allow the determination of Recovery the term "INT" appears against that analyte.
8. Polychlorinated Biphenyls are spiked only using Aroclor 1260 in Matrix Spikes and LCS.
9. For Matrix Spikes and LCS results a dash " -" in the report means that the specific analyte was not added to the QC sample.
10. Duplicate RPDs are calculated from raw analytical data thus it is possible to have two sets of data.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR REPORT
GALT FORM PMP29 Rev1
1. EXPECTATIONS OF THE REPORT
This document has been prepared to clarify what is and is not provided in your report. It is intended to inform you of what your
realistic expectations of this report should be and how to manage your risks associated with the conditions on site.
Geotechnical engineering and environmental science are less exact than other engineering and scientific disciplines. We include
this information to help you understand where our responsibilities begin and end. You should read and understand this
information. Please contact us if you do not understand the report or this explanation. We have extensive experience in a wide
variety of projects and we can help you to manage your risk.
2. THIS REPORT RELATES TO PROJECT-SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
This report was developed for a unique set of project-specific conditions to meet the needs of the nominated client. It took into
account the following:
the project objectives as we understood them and as described in this report;
the specific site mentioned in this report; and
the current and proposed development at the site.
It should not be used for any purpose other than that indicated in the report. You should not rely on this report if any of the
following conditions apply:
the report was not written for you;
the report was not written for the site specific to your development;
the report was not written for your project (including a development at the correct site but other than that listed in the
report); or
the report was written before significant changes occurred at the site (such as a development or a change in ground
conditions).
You should always inform us of changes in the proposed project (including minor changes) and request an assessment of their
impact.
Where we are not informed of developments relevant to your report, we cannot be held responsible or liable for problems that
may arise as a consequence.
Where design is to be carried out by others using information provided by us, we recommend that we be involved in the design
process by being engaged for consultation with other members of the project team. Furthermore, we recommend that we be
able to review work produced by other members of the project team that relies on information provided in our report.

3. SOIL LOGS
Our reports often include logs of intrusive and non-intrusive investigation techniques. These logs are based on our
interpretation of field data and laboratory results. The logs should only be read in conjunction with the report they were issued
with and should not be re-drawn for inclusion in other documents not prepared by us.
4. THIRD PARTY RELIANCE
We have prepared this report for use by the client. This report must be regarded as confidential to the client and the client’s
professional advisors. We do not accept any responsibility for contents of this document from any party other than the
nominated client. We take no responsibility for any damages suffered by a third party because of any decisions or actions they
may make based on this report. Any reliance or decisions made by a third party based on this report are the responsibility of the
third party and not of us.
5. CHANGE IN SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The recommendations in this report are based on the ground conditions that existed at the time when the study was
undertaken. Changes in ground conditions can occur in numerous ways including anthropogenic events (such as construction or
contaminating activities on or adjacent to the site) or natural events (such as floods, groundwater fluctuations or earthquakes).
We should be consulted prior to use of this report so that we can comment on its reliability. It is important to note that where
ground conditions have changed, additional sampling, testing or analysis may be required to fully assess the changed conditions.
6. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS DURING CONSTRUCTION
Practical constraints mean that we cannot know every minute detail about the subsurface conditions at a particular site. We use
professional judgement to form an opinion about the subsurface conditions at the site. Some variation to our evaluated
conditions is likely and significant variation is possible. Accordingly, our report should not be considered as final as it is
developed from professional judgement and opinion.
The most effective means of dealing with unanticipated ground conditions is to engage us for construction support. We can only
finalise our recommendations by observing actual subsurface conditions encountered during construction. We cannot accept
liability for a report’s recommendations if we cannot observe construction.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL AND GEOTECHNICAL ISSUES
Unless specifically mentioned otherwise in our report, environmental considerations are not addressed in geotechnical reports.
Similarly, geotechnical issues are not addressed in environmental reports. The investigation techniques used for geotechnical
investigations can differ from those used for environmental investigations. It is the client’s responsibility to satisfy themselves
that geotechnical and environmental considerations have been taken into account for the site.

Fee calculators are available online to assist in completing this section. • Licence fee calculator: www.der.wa.gov.au/LicenceFeeCalculator. • Works approval fee calculator: www.der.wa.gov.au/WorksapprovalFeeCalculator.
Licence and works approval amendments fee calculation (from 1 August 2016). The fee prescribed for an application for an amendment to a works approval or licence is based on a unit value for 2016-2017 of $3.40 per unit, calculated (in accordance with regulation 5BB of the Environmental Protection Regulations 1987):
• for a single category of prescribed premises to which the works approval or licence relates, by using the fee unit number corresponding to the prescribed premises category and relevant production or design capacity threshold in Schedule 4 Part 1 of the Environmental Protection Regulations 1987.
• for multiple categories of prescribed premises to which the works approval or licence relates, by using the highest fee unit number corresponding to the prescribed premises categories and production design or capacity threshold in Schedule 4 Part 1 of the Environmental Protection Regulations 1987.
The relevant fee unit under Schedule 4 Part 1 of the Environmental Protection Regulations 1987 for calculating the application form amendment fee is to be determined by reference to the actual production or design capacity reported for the preceding year’s annual licence fee. If an annual licence fee has not previously been paid or is not applicable as is the case for works approvals, the fee unit for an application for amendment is to be determined by reference to the production or design capacity currently prescribed in the licence or works approval.
Part 11. Submission of application
