procedures
Risk Control
Eliminate – ‘Design out’ the hazard when new materials,
equipment and work systems are being purchased for the site;
Substitute - Substitute less hazardous materials, equipment or
substances;
Isolate – separate the environment/workers from hazards using
barriers, enclosing noisy equipment;
Engineering – use engineering controls to reduce the risks.
Make sure that appropriate environmental controls are
available and used correctly;
Administrative – Minimise the risk by adopting safe and
environmentally appropriate working practices or providing
appropriate training, instruction or information;
Personal Protective Equipment – Make sure that appropriate
PPE is available and used correctly.

1. Introduction
1.1. General
This document describes the intended marine plant and water quality monitoring plan for
the Noosa Oyster Ecosystem Restoration project as further described in the Contract
between The Nature conservancy and M&J Marine Services PTY LTD
1.2. Project Background
The estuarine environment of the Noosa River was once dominated with extensive rock
oyster ecosystems. Oyster ecosystems were largely lost however, in the late 1800s to early
1900s. At the peak of the wild oyster harvest industry (1906-1907), it is estimated that 2-3
million oysters were harvested in the lower estuary each year. The commercial oyster
industry in the Noosa River ceased to be economically viable by the 1940s.
This project responds to the loss of natural hard substrates in the Noosa River by re-
introducing locally sourced rock in configurations that rock oysters and associated species
(e.g. pearl oysters, leaf oysters, hairy mussels, tunicates and macroalgae) readily colonise.
The design and placement of the rock substrate considers historic location of oyster beds
plus physical features, such as aspect, height, dimensions and rugosity in a way that can
help mitigate physical and biological threats to the recovering ecosystem such as
smothering, heat, erosion, predation and human disturbance.
2. Objective
The objective of this Marine plant and water quality plan is to ensure minimal impact to
the river system and its existing marine life during the construction by monitoring our
impacts and controlling them with the use of floating silt booms if required.
We will do this by;
• Identifying whether the impacts on water quality on the active build site and
general water based works are local and temporary
• Identifying when a plume has the potential to cause adverse social and/or
environmental impacts and to provide the opportunity to limit these impacts with
particular attention to the adjacent sea grass and mangrove areas.
3. References
This document should be read in conjunction with the Project’s Construction Environmental
Management Plan (CEMP), which is the over-arching plan that details the procedures and
policies to be following in executing these works.
ABN: 766 242 991 45 Page 3 [email protected]
Page 40
4. Construction Methodology
The Reef patches are to be comprised of locally sourced igneous porphyry rock (the
substrate) with a size range of 100mm to 600mm.
The substrate will be loaded onto the barge using a Posi - track loader and excavator, the
barge then travels to the build site which will have individual patches marked out using a
combination of marker buoys and star pickets, located using GPS.
Once on site the barge uses steel spuds rather than anchors to ensure precise placement of
the barge and to eliminate both swing and potential environmental damage from anchor
chains.
The barge is then unloaded using an excavator with a customised thumb and blade
attachment which allows us to pick up the rock and place it into the water precisely and
carefully, minimising plumes.
ABN: 766 242 991 45 Page 4 [email protected]
Page 41
5. Existing Environment
The areas of the Noosa River that the restoration sites are located naturally have a high mount of
turbidity and after storm events the turbidity would be higher. The department of environment and
resource management QLD has recorded the average turbidity of the lower Noosa river between 1
and 4 NTU and the upper estuary averaging up to 20 NTU. The High turbidity that comes with
storms and flood events are considered natural phenomena and species within the local marine
environment are able to tolerate these conditions for short periods. We don’t expect the Plumes
created from reef construction to impact the environment as much as one of these natural events.
6. Monitoring Process
Monitoring Frequency Responsibility
Visual inspeciton Before commencement of works, M&J Marine
daily whilst marking out individual
patches
Aerial Photography Before commencement of works M&J Marine
After rst load in each area
Weekly if impacts appear to be
low
Site Photographs Before and after each site is M&J Marine
complete - on low tide.
6.1. Protective measures
Our first step in protecting the local environment is to identify and and clearly mark all
sensitive habitats. Once marked we will ensure that the vessels propellors as much as
practical do not transit over these areas, when this is not practical we will ensure that engines
are trimmed up as much as possible and also, as much as possible, drift over these areas in
neutral if there is not practical alternate route.
Once on site and building if large plumes are detected and seen to be travelling towards or
over sensitive areas such as sea grass then a floating silt boom will be deployed to prevent
the plumes from impacting the environment.
If the plumes are minor and are not impacting the sensitive areas the silt booms will not be
used as dragging of the weights and curtains can potentially be more harmful to the
immediate environment than the sediment plumes that they are catching.
In addition to plume monitoring and control we are also using a very clean rock supply with
minimal sediment within the load and we are placing conveyor belt rubber under the stock
piles to minimise / eliminate picking up sediment from the natural ground under the stock
piles, this method has been proven to reduce the amount of unintended material being picked
up by 90 - 100%.
7. Record keeping and reporting
M&J Marine will keep all photos, both aerial and onsite, for a minimum of 12 moths from project
completion. They will be given to the principal (TNC) at the end of the job or as required on request.
In the event that the use of a silt boom on the build sites is triggered the principal will be notified
immediately and the success of this management strategy will be reported on daily.
In the unlikely event it is found to be ineffective other methods will be considered including the use
of a second curtain however based on experience we don’t expect this to be the outcome.

1.Project overview
M&J Marine Pty Ltd is providing services to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to construct rock
founda ons of oyster reefs in the Noosa River Estuary. The work is being undertaken against
engineered speci ca ons and state and local regulatory approvals.
The work includes the deployment of 3250 tonnes of igneous rock sources from quarries within
the Sunshine Coast region of Queensland.
M&J Marine will transport necessary barges, boats and heavy machinery, by land only, from
New South Wales to Noosa, Queensland to delivery this service.
The works will be undertaken in July and August 2022.
This document should be read in construc on with the Project Management Plan (V12) for this
work and M&J Marine Services Pty Ltd Construc on and Environmental Management Plan
(CEMP).
2.Purpose
Protec ng Australia’s biosecurity is a responsibility shared by government, industry and the
community. Biosecurity risk management prac ces implemented by industry can assist in
maintaining Australia’s pest and disease biosecurity status and signi cantly reduce
contamina on that leads to schedule slippage and increased project costs.
M&J Marine Services Pty Ltd is commi ed to maintaining Australia’s strict biosecurity status and
takes all necessary precau ons when moving vessels between Australian estuaries.
3.Scope
The scope of this document involves the proponent complying with Australia’s biosecurity
requirements by developing and implemen ng processes and procedures to mi gate
biosecurity risks during its opera ons.
Key ac vi es include:
Transport of vessels and equipment, by truck, from New South Wales to Noosa, Queensland
Cleaning and disinfec ng all equipment prior to deployment in the Noosa River.
Ensuring rock supply used in the construc on of oyster reefs is less than 50 percent
contaminated with soil/sediment and is free of foreign materials such as plas cs.
Maintenance of a load out site at Noosaville, on the shore of the Noosa River, which will be
maintained to a high standard of opera on, from which pollutants will not enter the estuary
and create a biofouling issue.
