1 Introduction This Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been developed for the Landmark Fertilizer Bunbury site at 12 Allnut Court, Davenport by Rosenhak Pty Ltd. It has been developed to ensure Landmark Operations standards are met along with the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act 1987. Landmark Fertilizer – Bunbury. The Landmark Fertilizer Bunbury site is a fertilizer storage, blending and distribution centre for straight fertilizer and blended fertilizer products. Anticipated site through put is 18,000 tonnes per year when the site is at full capacity. The bulk fertilizers are trucked to the site and unloaded into storage bays within the fertilizer shed. For delivery to the customer, bulk fertilizer products both straight and blended are loaded into trucks under the covered loading canopy attached to the warehouse. Bagged fertilizer products on pallets are loaded on to trucks by forklift on the sealed graded pavement to the east of the fertilizer shed. All fertilizer products are trucked out of the facility to the customer on trucks of varying payloads via the site’s weighbridge. The Landmark Fertilizer Bunbury site is 14085m2 and it is in an industrial zone (Greater Bunbury Regional Scheme - Zoning Sheet 12). It adjoins a regional open space on the south boundary (Loughton Park Reserve). The road access is suitable for the trucks which will access the site delivering bulk fertilizer. The movement of delivery vehicles will not impact any residential neighbours. The site is located 220m from the nearest residence.

The peak fertilizer seasons are March-April and September-October but may vary due to seasonal conditions. During these periods it is estimated that approximately 135 tonnes of product would be despatched daily. During the low periods, it is expected that 20 to 60 tonnes of product will be despatched daily. Bulk fertilizer delivery and bulk and bagged fertilizer dispatch to customers will be conducted five and a half days per week. Operating hours are generally between 08:00 and 17:30.

Site facilities Office and warehouse Fertilizer Storage

The site contains an office/administration building which includes a bunded warehouse for chemical storage, the enclosed fertilizer storage shed and loading facility, site shed, a weigh bridge and ablutions block. Currently, there is also a storm water retention pond and two fire water tanks. The site layout is shown below. The aerial photo was taken prior to completion of construction. Civil engineering works are being completed to construct several vegetated swale/basins and re-grade the site for stormwater control. See Appendix 1 for details of the stormwater management system.

Surrounding Land use The adjoining land use of this site consists of:

• North – Traffic Force (10 Allnut Court)

• East – T & M Heavy Mechanical and Site Services (18 Allnut Court)

• South – Loughton Park Reserve

• West – Phoenix Petroleum (15 Palmer Crescent)

Access/Traffic All access to the site is via Allnut Court (bitumen).

Vegetation/Aesthetic Appearance (plants in area)

The Landmark Fertilizer Bunbury site is in an Industrial zone, with mostly industrial neighbours. The nearest residential neighbour is over 200m to the south west. The Landmark site cannot be seen from the residential area. Immediately to the south of the site is Loughton Park Reserve which supports an excellent Conservation Category wetland characterised by a variety of Melaleuca species.


Newlyn 3364 Ph 0414 302 904

5

Topography (surface and landform)

The site is a relatively flat parcel of land that has been graded to ensure that no stormwater run-off directly exits the site to the south. The site has a stormwater detention swale/basin in the south east corner which will be enlarged and converted to a vegetated swale/basin, and a proposed vegetated swale/basin towards the centre of the site to the north of the fertilizer storage building. These basins are for the treatment of potentially contaminated stormwater. All trafficable areas of the site are either concrete or bitumen pavements or spray sealed compacted crushed rock.

Hydrology (water makeup – ground, surface, rain water)

The stormwater from office / warehouse building is connected to the town storm water system. Storm water from the fertilizer building roof is piped to the southern swale/basin. Potentially contaminated stormwater from the north of the fertilizer building will be directed to the vegetated basin towards the centre of the site for treatment and then to the southern vegetated basin. Potentially contaminated stormwater from the east of the fertilizer building will be directed to the southern vegetated basin.

Flora and Fauna The site is cleared, and two industrial use buildings have previously been constructed.

Noise and Vibration Storage, blending, bagging, loading and unloading activities are confined within the fertilizer storage shed and canopy, and bagged product is loaded for despatch in the area to the east of the building.

Air Quality/Emissions The storage of bulk fertilizer products will be confined within the fertilizer shed. No fertilizer will be stored outside, and no receiving or bulk loading will be undertaken outside the fertilizer shed or canopy. Bagging of fertilizer will be conducted inside the building.

Manifest of Hazardous Products and Dangerous Goods

A manifest of dangerous goods complying the Dangerous Goods Safety (Storage and Handling of non-explosives) Regulations 2007 and a hazardous product register complying with the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 will be prepared and will be stored in the designated Emergency Information Box. The Branch Manager will ensure this information is updated regularly.


Newlyn 3364 Ph 0414 302 904

Spill Kits A spill kit will be located near the loading/unloading area. Brooms, shovels, and mechanical/vacuum floor sweepers are also available for spill clean-up of solids. Appropriate PPE including dust masks/respirators are be available in the spill kits. Separate spill kits and PPE are also available in the warehouse building.

2 Proposed Operations Operations at the Landmark Fertilizer site at Bunbury will consist of the handling, storage and blending of bulk fertilizer including:

• Receipt of bulk fertilizer via road transport,

• Storage of bulk fertilizer product,

• Blending of various fertilizers,

• Dispatch of bulk fertilizer either blended or unblended via road transport, and

• Bagging and despatch of bagged fertilizer products (25kg , 500kg and 1000 kg bags). 3 Potential impacts from operations A summary of potential environmental impacts associated with site operations is provided below. Air Particulate emissions are a potential environmental hazard that may affect the air quality of adjacent sites. The risk of generating air quality impacts is considered low. These emissions are limited to the following:

• Minor quantities of fugitive airborne materials from fertilizer handling (loading/ unloading),

• Dust generation from movement of trucks, and

• Occasional small quantities of residual materials remaining after clean-up of any spillages.

These risks will be mitigated by:

• Ensuring all product storage occurs inside the fertilizer shed,

• Doors in the sheds are kept closed,

• Bulk loading of vehicles occurs only in the covered canopy area,

• Loaded trucks are tarped securely and tailgates sealed,

• Using a dust suppression cone in the loading system,

• Regular house-keeping inspections of the entire site,

• Regular cleaning of the roadways and yard, and

• Immediate clean-up of spills should they occur. If an unanticipated dusty fertilizer is encountered, the product can be treated with a dust suppressant product applied via the blending machine prior to bagging or dispatch.

Dust suppression cone

Note – photo is included to illustrate effectiveness of the dust suppression cone. It is from DHS Systems Ltd and not Landmark Bunbury facility. Land and Soil The most likely environmental hazards that may occur at the facility are:

• Spillage of fertilizer during loading, unloading and transport activities, and

• Generation of dust during loading and unloading activities. These risks will be mitigated by:







• Regular cleaning of the roadways and yard, and

• Immediate clean-up of spills should they occur. All fuels, chemicals and hazardous goods used at the site will be contained within a bunded chemical shed that will limit the potential for their escape into the surrounding environment. Any servicing of vehicles or equipment will also be undertaken in a fully contained area. All hazardous materials (such as waste oil, oil filters and hydraulic fluids) generated during the service are removed from site to a licensed facility.


Newlyn 3364 Ph 0414 302 904

8

Water The potential environmental hazards that may affect water quality surrounding the site include:

• Mobilisation of fertilizer from storage facility,

• Spillage of fertilizer during loading, unloading and transport activities,

• Generation of dust during loading and unloading activities, and

• Contamination of runoff by spilled materials.

These risks will be mitigated by:







• Regular cleaning of the roadways and yard,

• Immediate clean-up of spills should they occur.

• Minimizing the volume of potentially contaminated storm water by redirecting uncontaminated stormwater away from areas of potential contamination, and

• Using vegetated biological treatment basins to treat all potentially contaminated stormwater prior to discharge from the site.

Flora and Fauna The potential impacts on flora and fauna are expected to be very limited. Most of the site is cleared and there is minimal vegetation to support local wildlife. The site is graded to ensure that any potentially contaminated storm water is contained within the site in the vegetated treatment basins. No direct run-off will pass across the southern boundary. Noise and Vibration The potential impacts of noise and vibration are limited. There is some potential for noise from truck and front-end loader movements, and from the blending and loading conveyors to be heard beyond the boundary. The risks will be mitigated by:

• Implementation of speed limits,

• Trucks, front end loaders and forklifts are driven by licensed operators in a responsible manner to ensure minimal noise generation,

• All staff and contractors are informed that noise generated must be kept to a minimum,

• All equipment and associated noise attenuation devices, such as mufflers, are maintained to ensure that noise emissions are minimized,

• Residential neighbours are located more than 200m from the site,

• Adjoining properties are industrial occupancies,

• All complaints with regards to noise will be promptly investigated, and

• Conducting site operations five and a half days per week, with operating hours generally between 8:00 am and 5:30 pm.


Newlyn 3364 Ph 0414 302 904

Housekeeping Housekeeping aims to maintain a clean and orderly work area and site, which reduces the potential for any environmental harm. It includes conducting regular inspections, maintenance and cleanup. The risks will be mitigated by:

• Adherence to Landmarks Environment, Health and Safety requirements

• Immediate clean-up of spills in accordance with Landmark’s Spill Management Procedures,

• Regularly sweeping and cleaning concrete areas where dusts and other materials may accumulate,

• Only storing fertilizer product inside the fertilizer shed. No storage of fertilizer product is permitted in the yard,

• Performing regular inspections and maintenance of vehicles and equipment, and

• Use of proper signage to indicate product storage areas, waste accumulation points, and other areas site personnel need to be aware of.

Spill Management All spills at the site are to be managed using the three Cs - Control, Contain and Cleanup. This applies to bulk granular product as well as to all liquid product (including fuels, oils, chemicals).

• Control the source of the spill - The source of the leak or spill is to be identified and isolated. This will minimize the quantity of material in contact with the ground. Control also includes the identification or demarcation of the area in which the spill has occurred.

• Contain the spill - Use spill kits and apply absorbent materials and booms to the spill. Contain the spill to prevent further soil contamination and block drains to prevent potential entry to seepage pits or releases to waterways.

• Clean up the spill - Dispose of contaminated materials appropriately and remediate any contaminated soil.

All spills are to be reported through Landmark’s incident management system as Loss of Containment. The priority when recovering spilt product is to ensure the health and safety of personnel and minimize immediate risks to the environment.

Maintenance of Vegetated Treatment Basins A maintenance plan for the vegetated treatment basins will be developed based on Water Sensitive Urban Design principles. Maintenance activities will include but will not be limited to:

• Sediment removal,

• Checking for blockages in inlet and outlets,

• Mowing/slashing to control growth,

• Removal and replacement of dead plants,

• Litter and weed removal,

• Management of algal growth,

• Checking for mosquitoes, and

• Checking for structural integrity.

These activities will be undertaken regularly based on a planned schedule and records will be kept. The basins will also be inspected during the site’s monthly housekeeping inspection.

Appendix 1 – Storm Water Management Plan Over view The stormwater from the roof of the office/warehouse building is piped into the City storm water system. Storm water from the roof of the fertilizer warehouse is directed to the retention basin. Trafficked areas of the site are either concrete or bitumen or sealed compacted crushed rock. These areas are graded to allow direction of potentially contaminated stormwater to the vegetated treatment basins, for controlled discharge from the site. The soil type of the site is sand which should allow for adequate infiltration in unpaved areas under normal rainfall conditions (see extract from Geotechnical Investigation Report below). Ground water depth at the site varies 1100mm to 1800mm.

Extract from the Report on the Geotechnical Investigation for the site, conducted by Local Geotechnics

from Perth

“Findings and Observations

The site is located at Lot 2 (H12) Allnut Court, Bunbury WA. Currently, there is a shed at the site.

The geotechnical site investigation revealed the following generalised subsurface units:

•Sand (SP)this layer generally consists of fine to medium grained sand, brown, dry, dense

with sub-rounded gravel of 10 mm to 15 mm to a depth of 0.4 m, followed by a SAND layer

of grey, yellow, slightly moist, overlying the following layer

•Silty Sand (SM) or Sand (SP) fine to medium grained sand followed by hard layer.

Groundwater was recorded at depths varying between 1.1 m to 1.8 m below the existing ground

surface.”

Concept Plan Pippin Civil Engineering was engaged to prepare a detailed concept plan for the management of stormwater on the site. This plan is shown in Figure 2 and is detailed below.

The basic principles of the Stormwater Management Concept Plan are to:

1. Retain the first 15mm of rainfall within the site, 2. Detain the 10% AEP storm event within the site to a pre-development rate, and 3. Ensure conveyance of the 1% AEP storm event through the site, without

interference to the existing buildings within the site. These principles are a requirement of the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.


Newlyn 3364 Ph 0414 302 904

18

To implement these basic principles, the Stormwater Management Concept Plan proposes:

1. Maximizing the use of the existing stormwater infrastructure, in the form of

detention and conveyance of stormwater. 2. Utilizing the existing stormwater pipe outlet into Allnut St, for the stormwater

generated from the northern portion of the site. ie. the area including the Warehouse, Office and surrounding hardstand that will remain unaffected by the proposed fertilizer operations.

3. Introduction of vegetated biofiltration swales, where possible for the collection, infiltration and conveyance of stormwater from areas of carparking within the Warehouse and office area.

4. Isolate any areas where fertilizer may be present. This includes the implementation of curbing to prevent surface stormwater from entering an area where fertilizer may be present and a separate stormwater collection and treatment system for any stormwater generated from these areas. Biofiltration swales to be constructed in accordance with the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) guidelines and planted with vegetation capable of nutrient removal, in accordance with the Vegetation Guidelines for stormwater biofilters in the SW of WA.

5. Separation of roof collected stormwater from surface collected or ‘dirty’ stormwater, to ensure that surface water is collected and treated within areas of biofiltration. Roof collected stormwater will be directed to the stormwater storage infrastructure for infiltration of the small storm events and detention of larger storm events.

6. Vehicle entry and egress to/from areas where fertilizer may exist will be restricted, with all vehicles entering and exiting the affected areas required to cross a shaker grid. The shaker grid will shake lose any fertilizer material from vehicles’ wheels and any lose material on the truck body. The shaker grids will act as storage devices that will require regular clean out and be connected only to the biofiltration treatment swales/basins. Therefore, the discharge of potentially fertilizer contaminated stormwater will only occur to treatment areas.

7. Through the proposed pavement upgrades across the site, create individual catchments that separate the various activities within the site. Interconnection of the catchments only for the purpose of transference of the larger storm events to the larger southern basin for the purposes of stormwater detention.

8. The southern portion of the development site will partially feed to the large central vegetated basin which will be fitted with overflow control to be connected with a series of swales, basins, grated soak-wells and pipework to a large detention basin located within the development site on the southern boundary. The detention basin is required to be above the maximum groundwater level and be of sufficient size to detain the 10% AEP storm event and be constructed with appropriate overflow mechanisms to protect the downstream environment.

9. Introduction of a new controlled stormwater outlet structure for discharge of the treated stormwater from the site at the predevelopment rate only.

10. Ensuring that all new stormwater detention infrastructure is adequately separated from the groundwater table.

Appendix 2. Traffic Management Vehicles delivering bulk fertilizer to the site will discharge their loads inside the fertilizer shed. The products are granular, so little dust is produced as the loads are dumped. Before the vehicles leave the shed they are checked for contamination, particularly the wheels. As the vehicles leave the fertilizer area, the vehicles pass over shaker grids to ensure no fertilizer is trafficked on to the concrete apron. The wheels of all vehicles leaving the shed including forklift and loader will be cleaned. All vehicle traffic enters the site via the northern gateway to Allnut Court. Trucks delivering/receiving fertilizer pass along the northern boundary to the weighbridge and then to the concrete apron on the north side of the fertilizer store.
