        74.   The location of the ground water monitoring wells must be installed to maximize
              the likelihood that the wells will intercept contaminated ground water whatever
              the ground water flow conditions.
        75.   The ground water monitoring wells must be:
              a.   installed and operational before use of the UPSS commences
              b.   sealed to exclude surface water, clearly marked to indicate their presence
                   and properly secured
        76.   The ground water in the monitoring wells must be tested for petroleum
              contaminants immediately after either:
              a.   the discovery whether by routine test or otherwise that ground water may
                   be contaminated by petroleum originating from the property
              b.   the discovery whether pursuant to the loss monitoring procedure for the
                   system or otherwise that the system has a leak
              c.   when requested by Council
              De-commissioning of the UPSS
        77.   Where more than 2 years lapses since a tank were decommissioned, the UPSS
              must be permanently removed in accordance with the relevant Australian
              Standards and Workplace Health and Safety Qld requirements.
        78.   Certification must be provided to Council confirming the UPSS de-commissioning
              was conducted by a suitably qualified and experienced person, and that removal,
              transportation and disposal was in accordance with the Standards and
              legislation.
        79.   At the time of abandonment of any UPSS the site must be investigated for
              contamination. An assessment report must be prepared by a suitably qualified
              and experienced person (as required under the Environmental Protection Act
              1994) to verify the site has either met remediation criteria or is suitable for
              continued and future use. The assessment report must be submitted to Council
              no later than 60 days of either the:
              a.   decommissioning of an UPSS if no soil or ground water remediation is
                   required
              b.   completion of any remediation associated with the decommissioning of an
                   UPSS if remediation is required.
        80.   All records associated with the decommissioning of UPSS must be maintained
              for a period of 7 years after removal of the UPSS. These records must be
              provided to future owners/operators of the service station and property, as part
              of ensuring all practicable measures have been implemented to prevent site
              contamination.
              Noise
        81.   Mechanical plant and equipment, a/c units, motors, refrigeration equipment,
              compressors, pumps etc. on site must be located within the building or suitably
              provided with noise reduction measures and located to prevent a noise nuisance
              beyond the boundary of the site and to not exceed the levels specified in Table
              1.
