PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                            8 NOVEMBER 2016


    84.   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
    85.   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.
    86.   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.
    87.   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.
    88.   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
    89.   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.
                                                Table 1
                                NOISE LIMITS AT A SENSITIVE RECEPTOR
           PERIOD                 Noise level at noise sensitive place measured as the adjusted
                                  maximum sound pressure level (Lamax, adj,T)
           7am – 6pm              Background noise level (LAbg,T) plus 5 dB(A)
           6pm – 10pm             Background noise level plus 5 dB(A)
           10pm – 7am             Inaudible
                                 NOISE LEVELS AT COMMERCIAL PLACE
           PERIOD                 Noise level at a commercial place measured as the adjusted
                                  maximum sound pressure level (Lamax, adj,T)
           7am – 6pm              Background noise level (LAbg,T) plus 10 dB(A)
           6pm – 10pm             Background noise level plus10 dB(A)
           10pm – 7am             Background noise level plus 8 dB(A)
    90.   When requested by Council, a Noise Impact Assessment Report (NIAR) showing
          monitoring and recording of noise levels must be undertaken to investigate any
          complaint (other than a frivolous or vexatious complaint) caused by noise emissions
          from operations at the premises.


                                                                                 Page 17 of 70
