                    •     The site was essentially the old Cooroy Tip that closed around 1949. It is believed that rubbish
                          disposal occurred over most of the southern portion of the site, including possible disposal in
                          trenches.
                    •     Around 1973 the Council was concerned with groundsel weed infestation in the local area, and in
                          response the Spicers had most of the site bulldozed level. It was fairly level prior to use of the
                          bulldozer, but the site did have groundsel and dead trees present. After bulldozing they planted the
                          pine forest and other trees to form a canopy to assist with understory weed management.
                    •     In the late 70’s or early 80s fire affected the site, including crowning through the tree canopy.

                    •     Observed surface or other wastes encountered during digging regularly included numerous broken
                          glass (and occasional intact bottles), metal leaf spring car suspensions, car differentials and other
                          large metal items.

                    Registered services information from Before You Dig Australia is presented as Appendix M and indicates:
                    •     There is no infrastructure present on-site associated with Unity Water (potable water supply and

        3.18.       SITE INSPECTION
                    A site inspection was undertaken by the SQP on 24/2/23 with additional aerial inspection via drone
                    performed on 18/10/23. A summary of NEPM Schedule B2 Section 3.6 Site Inspection guidance as it
                    relates to the site is presented in Table 7 below.
