Operational Management Plan 2015

All water to be discharged will be pumped into our 22500ltr waste storage tank
where it will be dosed into the council sewer at a maximum rate of 7l/m to stay under
our 10000ltr / day discharge allowance. A u-trap will be placed in the discharge pipe
with a tap so samples of the waste water can be taken by any regulatory government
departments. The waste water flow rate and salinity will be monitored by inline
sensors and the data logged by our monitoring system, PC’s and remotely by unity
water.

9.2 Mortalities

Mortalities will be kept in our onsite freezer if we have a large mortality event the
dead fish will be loaded into our utility which will be lined with plastic and taken to the
Local Noosa landfill site.

9.3 Fish Escape Prevention

Our intension was to screen the outflow from the facility to the waste storage tank.
The viscosity of this waste will be too low to flow through screens without constant,
serious fowling which will add a large amount of labour cost to keep operational. The
waste will go into the storage tank and be in there for up to 48 hours. Any escape
fish or larvae that enter this anoxic environment would not survive anymore that a
few minutes therefore it would be impossible for fish or larvae to escape this way.
Our RAS being a closed system does not allow the escape of fish and as discussed
if fish do enter the waste tank they will be dead within a few minutes and the bodies
would most likely be consumed by the bacteria that will colonise this storage tank.

10 Water Collection
The input water to top up the system will be trucked in, using our existing transport
truck that has a capacity of 12500ltrs, from Noosa River which is 2.8klm away. The
water is of good quality and is of the correct salinity for our system. We have been
collecting water from Noosa River for our pilot system for the past 3 years and have
found it to be a reliable source of good quality seawater.
