With reference to the second point highlighted above, Humes has published one peer reviewed
journal articles with respect to the Jellyfish testing site and results, and another justifying the
statistical significance of the data collected. The papers are:

e Evaluation of Treatment Performance of a Stormwater Treatment Membrane Filter
under Australian Conditions (Australian Journal of Water Research)

e A Statistical Approach to Assess Stormwater Treatment Device Performance Data
(Australian Water Association Journal)

Both of these papers can be used to demonstrate compliance with the guidelines. The papers
are attached in Appendix B for further reference.

Generic Node: Point 3

4.14 Generic nodes
The MUSIC User Manual describes the parameters that
can be defined for the generic node.

The structure of the generic node is similar to the GPT
node. If the pollutant reduction function is used, users
should express caution in adopting reliable pollutant
reduction efficiency rates. Similarly, assessment
authorities should not accept models which use the
pollutant reduction function unless the applicant has
demonstrated that:

+ the proposed treatment measure operates in a manner
which cannot be represented using one of the other
MUSIC treatment nodes

* the proposed reduction efficiencies are justified by
rigorous scientific testing and results are published in
an credible engineering/scientific journal

 

 

* the modelled pollutant reduction efficiency reflects
the published figures.

 

With reference to the third point highlighted above, this can be justified by using MUSIC
modelling in accordance with the MUSIC Modelling Guidelines for SEQ (2010). A MUSIC model
was created to simulate the site based on the site details provided in the published papers (see

Appendix B)
