Leak detection for fuel tanks All reasonable and practicable measures must be taken to prevent loss of containment from the UPSS. An approved leak detection system must be installed and operated at sufficient frequency, sensitivity and reliability to provide a high level of confidence that a release of a petroleum product will be detected in sufficient time for a response to be implemented before an unacceptable risk is posed to human health, property or the environment. As a minimum standard, all UPSSs are required to be monitored using a system that: can detect a leak from any portion of the UPSS uses equipment that has been installed, calibrated and commissioned in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions is capable of detecting a leak at a rate of 0.76 litres per hour or more, with at least 95% accuracy and a probability of false detection of 0.05 or less (USEPA) has been certified by an independent third party consistent with the current USEPA protocols and system of verification reports with a frequency of not less than monthly and provided to Council upon request is operated by a suitably trained person. Integrity testing UPSS The service station operator must establish, implement, maintain and review procedures for the maintenance, inspection and testing of UPSS.

MATERIALS ON-SITE DESTINATION Re-use and Recycling Disposal Expected waste materials Estimated volume (m³) On-site *specify proposed re-use or on-site recycling methods Off-site *specify contractor and recycling outlet *specify contractor and landfill site or other disposal site Excavation material Green waste Bricks Concrete Timber-please specify Plasterboard Metals - please specify Asbestos Other - please specify Note * If a demolition contractor is undertaking works, then the Waste Management table is to be completed by the demolition contractor. The purpose of the Waste Management Plan is to facilitate the segregation of waste for the effective reuse and recycling of such materials. Additionally Council rewards those who segregate waste by significantly reducing disposal fees at the landfill some items are free. Higher gate fees are charged for loads of mixed waste.
