from the refuelling area into the stormwater disposal system.
Information Required:
Provide details and confirmation regarding the disposal system of hydrocarbons
contaminated water from the site that include:
           a. A pump out tank (blind tank) as the preferred method given the sensitivity of
              the site to flooding and tidal water impacts and its proximity to an
              environmental preservation area.
           b. Provide advice on how the treatment device/s for hydrocarbons
              contaminated water specified for the site will function during a flood event
              and/or a high tidal event ie what prevents captured hydrocarbons from
              being released during adverse weather and/or tidal conditions.
      -     ACOR Response:
The client has opted to use an EnviroTank product for capture and disposal of
hydrocarbons onsite. The information package has been provided to council for
review. The design and certifications package for the tank has also been included in
this submission. In relation to council’s concerns surrounding the flood impacts on
the device ACOR are proposing to install a chamber with a bolt down lid and one way
valve on the inlet pipe to aid in keeping the stored hydrocarbons inside the system.
This system has been approved by Noosa Council’s Environmental team please see
email attached in RFI Package.
