Request to Update Approval: MCU14/102.05
Service Station Stormwater Management System

Dear Lisa,
Arcadis, formerly known as Hyder Consulting, would like to re-submit the Site Based
Stormwater Management Report (F0002-AA007595-AAR), updated to reflect the
stormwater capture system installed for the service station located at Eumundi Noosa
Road, Noosaville.
The previously submitted report (Version 05) outlines the following stormwater treatment
solution information pertinent to the fuelling area:
          6.5.3 FUEL AREAS
          The proposed development will need to comply with the Australian Standard 1940
          – The Storage and Handing of Flammable and Combustible Liquids. A blind
          sump, capable of containing as a minimum the quantity of at least the largest
          compartment of the delivery tanker, is required to be installed to collect vehicle
          dispensing spillage, blown in rain and tanker delivery spillages.
          It is recommended to engage a suitably qualified hydraulic consultant to design
          the Fuel Dispensing Area (FDA), Uncovered Forecourt Area (UFA) and the tanker
          unloading area hydraulic management systems.
Subsequent to this submission, a SPEL Puraceptor stormwater capture/treatment system
was designed and installed to facilitate the capture of fuel runoff from the FDA, providing
hydrocarbon capture during emergency spill events and removal during all wash down
events. This system has capacity to isolate and retain fuel spillages should they occur,
essentially meeting the requirement for a blinding sump.
Given that the SPEL product was not identified specifically in the previous submission,
the SBSMP report has been amended for re-submission to allow Council to approve the
use of the SPEL Puraceptor product. A risk assessment provided by SPEL has also been
included as a new appendix. The amended report (Version 10) now outlines the installed
stormwater treatment solution information pertinent to the fuelling area:
          6.5.3 FUEL AREAS
          The proposed development will need to comply with the Australian Standard 1940
          – The Storage and Handing of Flammable and Combustible Liquids. An
          emergency storage container, capable of containing, as a minimum, the quantity
          of at least the largest compartment of the delivery tanker, is required to be
