    b)   cause or allow the contaminant to be deposited, discharged, emitted or disturbed
    c)   fail to prevent the contaminant from being deposited, discharged emitted or disturbed
    d)   allow the contaminant to escape
    e)   fail to prevent the contaminant from escaping.

Relevant act as defined in section 493A of the EP Act.


Remove (removed, removal) means to:
• extract and collect quarry material from the Allocation Area; or
• take plant, equipment and measures that are associated with the dredging operation, out of the Allocation
   Area.

(Remove does not include the rehandling of dredged material or collection of quarry material as part
of a geotechnical investigation associated with future tidal works or extraction).

Secondary containment system means a system designed, installed and operated to prevent any release of
contaminants from the system, or containers within the system.

Sediment plume-associated impacts are impacts associated with sediment plumes including turbidity and
suspended solids concentrations, light attenuation or sedimentation rates elevated above either control site or
reference site readings or baseline conditions for an equivalent time of year. Where dredge material
possesses acid sulfate soil-related properties, sediment plume-associated impacts may also include pH,
dissolved oxygen and metal and metalloid-related toxicity impacts.

Sediment plume monitoring program means environmental monitoring associated with risk management of
sediment plume-associated impacts.

Sensitive place includes the following and includes a place within the curtilage of such a place reasonably used
by persons at that place:
    1. a dwelling, residential allotment, mobile home or caravan park, residential marina or other residential
        premises; or
    2. a motel, hotel or hostel; or
    3. a kindergarten, school, university or other educational institution; or
    4. a medical centre or hospital; or
    5. a protected area under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, the Marine Parks Act 2004 or a World
        Heritage Area; or
    6. a public park or garden; or
    7. for noise, a place defined as a sensitive receptor for the purposes of the Environmental Protection
        (Noise) Policy 2019.

Sensitive receptor includes biological sensitive receptors together with other environmental values
sensitive to the effects of dredge-generated sediment plume-associated impacts.

Sentinel site is a test site that is situated between the disturbance source and the sensitive receptor and
serves to provide earlier warning of developing adverse conditions than does a test site.

Site pairing refers to monitoring sites that have a functional control-impact relationship, for example, Control
site A is referenced to assess monitoring data collected from Concern Sites AA and AB, thus, Concern Sites AA
and AB share site pairing with Control Site A.
