PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   26 MAY 2015


          De-commissioning UPSS
    94.   UPSS may be temporarily decommissioned for a period of up to 2 years. During this
          time the tank must be filled with water mixed with a water-miscible corrosion inhibitor
          (as per manufacturer’s instructions), or made safe by other approved methods in
          accordance with the relevant Australian Standards and Workplace Health and Safety
          Qld.
    95.   Council must be notified when any tank is temporarily decommissioned. Before the
          tank can be reused that system must undergo equipment integrity testing to ensure
          tightness and certification submitted to council.
    96.   Where more than 2 years elapses since a tank were decommissioned, the UPSS
          must be permanently removed in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards
          and Workplace Health and Safety Qld.
    97.   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.
    98.   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 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.
    99.   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.
          Air
    100. The release of noxious or offensive odours or other airborne contaminants, including
         particles, smoke, fumes and aerosols resulting from the service station, must not
         cause environmental harm to any occupier of the property or beyond the boundary of
         the property.
          Noise
    101. The emission of noise from the service station operation must not exceed the levels
         specified in Table 1.
                                              TABLE 1

                               NOISE LIMITS AT A SENSITIVE RECEPTOR
                             Noise level at noise sensitive place measured as the adjusted
           PERIOD
                             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
