2 Awaba Waste Pollution Incident & Emergency Response Plan Purpose This Pollution Incident & Emergency Response Management Plan sets out the Awaba Waste Management Facility s response to a potential pollution incident and/or emergency situation at the site and; 1. To control or limit any effect that a pollution incident or emergency situation may have on or off site. 2. To facilitate emergency response and to provide such assistance on site as is appropriate to the situation. 3. To ensure that all vital information is communicated to relevant and external authorities as soon as possible. This may also include all owners and occupiers of premises (including private residences) near the Awaba Waste Management Facility. The notification to local residents however will only be done after consultation between the Emergency Warden and the Manager Waste Environment & Rangers. 4. To facilitate the reorganisation and recovery operations so that normal operations can be resumed as soon as practicable. 5. To provide relevant emergency training so that a high level of emergency preparedness can be continually maintained. 6. To provide a basis for the revision of pollution and emergency procedures. 7. To comply with the new requirements introduced by the Protection of the Environment Legislation Amendment Act 2011 (POELA Act). Site Description The Awaba Waste Management Facility is a Licenced (Environment Protection Licence No 5873) Class 1 Solid Waste Landfill under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act. A Class 1 Landfill is licenced to accept all inert wastes including stabilised asbestos cement and physically, chemically or biological fixed, treated or processed waste in accordance with any special requirements that may be set by the EPA. The Awaba Waste Management Facility is also licenced to accept all solid waste including putrescible waste and other wastes approved by the EPA. The Awaba Waste Management Facility is NOT licenced to accepted hazardous waste. Hazardous waste is described as any waste which, through toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, teratogenicity, flammability, explosivity, chemical reactivity, corrosivity, infectiousness or other biologically damaging properties, which may present danger to the life or health of living organisms when released into the environment. The Awaba Waste Management Facility has on site 2 leachate dams containing approximately 10 mega litres of leachate. See Definitions. An aerial photo of the Awaba Waste Management Facility indicating major site features is attached as Appendix A. Appendix A also indicates the emergency evacuation point near the weighbridge. The emergency evacuation point is also sign posted in the field. Lake Macquarie City Council Page 2 of 18
3 The Emergency Warden may change the location of the designated emergency evacuation point if it is not suitable due to the particular emergency situation at hand. Actions to be undertaken in event of pollution incident or emergency In the event of a pollution incident or emergency situation, the first consideration is the safety of staff, contractors, and general public. Following this, the next consideration is the minimisation of potential damage to the environment and surrounding community. The Emergency Warden is to contact the following people as required, if not on site at the time of the incident, so that the mobilisation of emergency site staff and equipment can commence. Awaba Waste Management Facility Emergency contacts Name Position Day time contact No. Mobile No. Steven Merrett Tim Prisk Waste Site Supervisor Emergency Warden (1 st ) First Aid Officer Waste Site Leading Hand Emergency Warden (2 nd ) First Aid Officer Tony Wilcox Plant Operator Justin Conaghan Plant Operator Arthur Berends Waste Site Attendant Neil Rae Waste Site Attendant Tim Veitch Waste Site Attendant Jason Martin Waste Site Attendant Robert Horsey Waste Site Attendant LMS Energy Nathan McClelland Landfill Gas Extraction Contractor Use mobile only Remondis Keith Stevenson David Brake Greenwaste Processing Contractor Manager Waste Environment and Rangers Group Coordinator Waste Operations Scott Smith Lincoln Latunin Lake Macquarie City Council Page 3 of 18

Note. According to the legislation even if the Fire & Rescue is not Lake Macquarie City Council Page 4 of 18
5 required, protocol states that you still ring but just advise that at present they are not required. Types of Pollution Incident/Emergencies that could arise at the Awaba Waste Management Facility: a) Fire b) Explosion c) Gas leak d) Leachate dam failure e) Natural events e.g. earthquake f) Hazardous waste g) Mine subsidence h) Bomb threat i) Robbery Plant available on site includes 2 x Traxcavators 1 x Landfill Compactor 1 x Alternate Daily Cover Vehicle. Also can be used as water cart and fire fighting. 1 x Steel drum roller 1 x Gas monitor. 3 x Flexi drive pumps 1 x diesel pump 1 x 2 tonne tipper 1 x 4 wheel drive dual cab utility 2 x portable hand held radios 2 x fire extinguishers 1 x John Deere tractor. The likelihood of some of the above incidents / emergencies occurring is remote due to the stringent licence conditions imposed by the EPA on the Awaba Waste Management Facility (Environment Protection Licence No. 5873). However if one of the above does arise the following actions will be put in place by the Waste Site Supervisor/Emergency Warden. All staff on site have been issued with / have available, the appropriate personal protective equipment and will wear such equipment as required and if requested by the Emergency Warden during an emergency. Lake Macquarie City Council Page 5 of 18
6 a) Fire The Emergency Warden will decide on the appropriate response subject to the location and severity of the fire, including the following. Main gate closed immediately to public and staff member stationed at the gate to advise public of situation. Radio contact to be arranged. First Aid Officer to administer first aid as required. Emergency Warden to contact the NSW Ambulance for assistance if required. Public and contractors on site advised to leave site as quickly as possible via the weighbridge. Emergency Warden to decide whether or not customers are to weigh out and complete transactions, based upon the location and severity of the fire and the number of customers on site. If decided not to complete transactions, customers will receive free tipping and waste tonnages based on vehicle type adopted for waste reporting purposes. Weighbridge operator to advise Emergency Warden that all public and contractors have vacated site. Weighbridge closed and made secure. If deemed by the Emergency Warden, staff will be instructed to congregate at the Emergency Evacuation point. Emergency Warden to organise on site staff and equipment as required to respond. Onsite plant available to respond to a fire is listed above. Waste, which is on fire, will be continually sprayed with water whilst the traxcavator and compactor are used to uncover waste to enable centre of fire to be exposed and extinguished. If required the Emergency Warden will contact the Rural Fire Service for assistance in containing / extinguishing the fire. () The Rural Fire Service are to make regular visits to the Awaba Waste Facility to familiarise themselves with the location of dams with regards to sources of water. As the greenwaste hard stand area is isolated from the main landfilling area, the risk of fire spreading to the greenwaste area from the landfill is remote. However, staff will spray the greenwaste stockpiles with water to reduce the risk of spontaneous combustion within stockpiles. The greenwaste and mulch stockpiles are designed to allow plant access around the stockpiles. This also creates firebreaks. The Emergency Warden will discuss with the WER Manager if there is a need to notify any other relevant authorities and local residents of the fire. The Emergency Warden will notify the Customer Service Centre to advise that the site may be closed and that customers will have to use an alternative landfill. The Emergency Warden will report the incident to Council s Incident Hotline (Ph ) If a fire originates in the Greenwaste hard stand area, the Emergency Warden is to contact Green Waste processing contractor (Remondis) to advise of situation. The Emergency Warden in consultation with the relevant authorities will declare the site safe for normal operations Lake Macquarie City Council Page 6 of 18

A record of the Environmental Inspection is filed on Trim Folder F2012/ The Environmental Inspection identifies any potential environmental hazards that could impact upon the Awaba Waste Management Facility and surrounding environment, and allows the Waste Sites Supervisor to put in place corrective actions to control the risk of an environmental incident. Inspections are carried out by the Waste Site Supervisor to ensure that surface water drains are free of sediment build up as well as twice yearly maintenance of surface water drains to reduce the risk of storm water entering the leachate collection system and dams. All inspections are noted in the Waste Site Supervisor s Daily Diary. Leachate levels of the lower leachate dam are monitored by the Waste Sites Supervisor and when required leachate is pumped to the top leachate storage dam. The main reason for failure of a leachate dam would be overflow due to exceptionally heavy rainfall. If a leachate dam wall fails, the following will be undertaken as deemed necessary by the Emergency Warden: The Emergency Warden will organise on site plant to build bunds as quickly as possible to stop or reduce the flow of leachate from leaving the site by natural watercourses and / or drainage lines.

13 Training and Review of Pollution Incident Emergency Response Plan Due to the Awaba Waste Management Facility being open to the public 364 days a year, and the important roles that staff have on site regarding EPA licence compliance, the closing of the site to carry out trialling of this Pollution Incident & Emergency Response Plan by undertaking practical exercises or drills is considered to be unrealistic. In lieu of undertaking practical exercises or drills and to ensure that all staff are aware of their roles whenever a pollution incident / emergency situation occurs, a desk top simulation will be undertaken at least every 12 months. This Procedure will be provided to, and discussed with the Awaba Waste Management Facility staff at periodic team meetings. Staff roles and responsibilities will be discussed, reviewed, and if necessary, this procedure amended. The results of the desk top audits and the minutes of these meetings will be recorded and Trimmed in folder F2012/ Each year the folder number will reflect the current year eg F2012/ , F2012/ Specialised training in emergency response that would be appropriate for the staff at the Awaba Waste Management Facility will continually be sourced and if appropriate staff will attend. This Pollution Incident & Emergency Response Management Plan will be reviewed every 12 months as per EPA requirements or one month following any pollution/emergency incident. A copy of this plan will be uploaded to the Lake Macquarie City Council s website. Lake Macquarie City Council Page 13 of 18
