ESC measures are monitored as part of Shadforth inspection process by the Foreman and the WHSE Advisor.
Where ESC measures are inadequate, rectifications are implemented. If sediment is released off site due to an
ESC failure or deficiency, a containment and recovery operation is conducted.

Waste

Shadforth ensure the waste is managed onsite. The waste objectives of this EMP is site specific and aims to

▪   Nominate the project’s monitoring and reporting requirements in relation to waste; and
▪   Monitor the effects of management and mitigation measures.

It is intended that a waste program be developed and implemented at the worksite to support the management
of waste impacts due to construction of the project. Design and construction of the Project will adopt a waste
management hierarchy outlined below:

1. Avoid and reduce

2. Re-use

3. Recycle

4. Recover energy

5. Treat and dispose of waste.

Waste management for this site shall comply with the requirements of the Environmental Protection (Interim
Waste) Regulation 2011 as well as all state legislation.

All litter, general waste, construction waste, human waste, used oils and other surplus materials shall be
collected progressively. As waste accumulates, it is segregated, and either transported offsite, reused, or
recycled if possible. Green waste is reused onsite where feasible. Chip and mulch cleared as part of project
works is reused as mulch material for landscaping purposes. Reusing and recycling helps reduce the amount
of waste disposed into landfill. Waste is not burnt or buried onsite unless approved in writing.

General waste, and regulated waste is defined under the Environmental Protection Regulation. Environmental
Protection (Regulated Waste) Amendment Regulation 2018 prescribes what materials constitute regulated
waste and waste that is not regulated waste. Certain waste management activities, including the transport of
waste, are Environmentally Relevant Activities (ERAs) and require approval under the EP Act. The
Environmental Protection Regulation also contains requirements for the handling of specific waste streams. The
Queensland Waste Avoidance and Resource Productivity Strategy (2014–2024) provides a strategic view of
resource recovery and sets targets for commercial, industrial and construction reuse within Queensland. Key
activities that will generate or contribute to waste material throughout construction of the Project include:

▪   Spoil material from earthworks excavation
▪   Construction waste associated with the construction activities
▪   General solid waste generated by site staff, visitors and other personnel
▪   Liquid waste from the treatment of groundwater and wash-down activities.


Potential waste related impacts could include the following:
▪   Harm to flora, fauna and the surrounding environment
▪   Harm to human health
▪   Dust resulting from the inappropriate storage, handing and disposal or excavated material
▪   Soil and water including surface water and groundwater contamination from inappropriate storage, spills,
    and handling
