1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report presents the results of a soil survey for the proposed Lynwood hard rock quarry near Marulan. The

investigation was commissioned by Mr John Merrell of Umwelt (Australia) Pty Ltd. The work was carried out in

accordance with a proposal by Asset Geotechnical Engineering Pty Ltd dated 7 July 2004, reference P0673.

The objective of the survey is to provide information on the surface and subsurface soil conditions as part of

an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed quarry. Specifically, the report describes the

properties of the soils present in the project area and outlines measures required to achieve a suitable

rehabilitation outcome.

This report should be read in conjunction with the attached Information Sheets.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of work for the soil survey comprised:

• A review of existing regional maps and reports relevant to the project area, held within our files.

• Review of Soil Landscape Maps prepared by the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural

Resources (DIPNR).

• Visual observations of surface features.

• Logging of 22 test pits (TP1 to TP22), to sample and assess the nature and consistency of soils at

accessible areas of the project area.

• Carrying out laboratory tests on the recovered soil samples to provide data on chemical and physical

properties.

• Engineering assessment and reporting.

The test pits were excavated on 3rd and 4th November 2004 using a rubber-tyred backhoe. The test locations

are shown on the attached Figure 2.

The test pits were excavated to depths ranging from 0.35 metres to 1.3 metres depth and were terminated in

weathered bedrock. On completion of logging and sampling, each test pit was backfilled with the excavation

spoil and lightly tamped using the backhoe bucket before rolling with the backhoe tyre. Remaining spoil was

left and trimmed neatly flush or slightly mounded to the adjacent ground surface.

The test pit locations were set out by our engineer and were located by hand-held GPS measurements. The

subsurface conditions encountered were recorded during the progress of the excavations. Soil samples

were retained for laboratory testing. Surface levels at the test locations were not determined.

Engineering logs are provided in Appendix A to this report. The results of the laboratory testing are

summarised in Section 5 and are provided in Appendix B.

3.0 PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION & REGIONAL GEOLOGY

The project area is located approximately 3km west of Marulan as shown in the attached Figure 1. The

project area occupies approximately 1000 hectares adjacent to the Hume Highway, and is dissected by the

Main Southern Railway.

The regional topography includes gently undulating plains, undulating rises, and rolling low hills to steep hills.

The overall relief is about 80m, from about RL 710m AHD to about RL 630m AHD. The terrain is incised by

numerous open depressions and watercourses that generally flow towards Joarimin Creek near the centre of

the project area, Marulan Creek in the south, or Lakyersleigh Creek in the northwest. The Main Southern

Railway cuts through the project area near the centre running in a roughly westerly direction before crossing

Joarimin Creek and heading northwest.

Vegetation includes open forest and woodland that has been cleared over much of the lower areas. Current

land use comprises predominantly open grazing.

The 1:250,000 Goulburn Geological Map indicates the project area is underlain predominantly by Bindook

Porphyry (quartz feldspar porphyry, dacite, felsite, and tuff) with the southeastern corner underlain by Marulan

Granite (granite and granodiorite).

Numerous rocky outcrops and rock covered areas were observed over the elevated hilly parts of the project

area.

4.0 SOIL LANDSCAPES

The DIPNR soil landscape mapping identifies four landscape units within the project area. The units are

summarised below.

Bindook Road

Undulating low hills on Devonian Bindook Porphyry. This unit is identified by the sub-angular porphyry

rock outcrop on upper slopes and crests.

Bindook Road variant A

This variant features steeper hills and stony ridgelines with more rock outcrop than the Bindook Road

landscape.

0689-1D 4 11 May 2005

ASSET GEOTECHNICAL

Jaqua

This unit is characterised by long foot-slopes and undulating low rises on Devonian Granite and

Permian sediments.

Marulan

Comprising gently undulating rises to undulating low hills formed on Devonian Granite. Distinct surface

expression of outcropping well rounded spheroidal Granite tors is common.

The soil landscape boundaries have been transposed from the SCA maps onto the Towrang 1:25,000

Topographic Map as shown in the attached Figure 2.

5.0 SUBSURFACE PROFILE FROM TEST PITTING

The generalised subsurface profile as per the test pitting is summarised below:

Layer Description Depth to Base (m)

Topsoil SILT / Sandy SILT / Silty SAND, low plasticity fines, fine to medium sand 0.05 / 0.20

Slopewash Clayey SAND / Sandy SILT / Gravelly SILT, fine to medium grained, low plasticity fines

0.15 / 0.4

Residual SAND / Clayey SAND, fine to medium grained 0.4 / 1.15

Residual CLAY / Sandy CLAY, medium plasticity 0.4 / 1.0

Bedrock PORPHYRY or GRANITE, medium to coarse grained – –

6.0 LABORATORY TEST RESULTS

Results from the laboratory testing undertaken on selected soil samples are included in Appendix B and are

summarised in Table 1 below.

0689-1D 6 11 May 2005

ASSET GEOTECHNICAL

The laboratory testing indicates that the soils are not dispersive by nature, are assessed to be slightly to

moderately acidic and non-saline to slightly saline. The soils generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity

(CEC), which will limit the soil’s ability to retain nutrients. The soil phosphorous levels are generally sufficient

for grazing / open pasture use. However, the potassium and sulphur levels are relatively low and should be

improved during rehabilitation to facilitate plant growth should it be desired to establish permanent pasture.

7.0 REHABILITATION

Topsoil from areas to be quarried should be stripped and stockpiled separately from lower subsoils. During

rehabilitation after quarrying, the topsoil should be spread and amended as follows, based on the proposed

land use:

Areas to be used for Native Vegetation (i.e. not grazing or cultivation)

• No amendment is considered necessary.

Areas to be used for Permanent Grazing Land:

• Increase pH to a target value of between 6 and 8.5. To raise the pH by 1, lime should be spread at the

rate of 2500 kg/ha and thoroughly mixed to 100mm depth.

• Potassium should be raised to a target minimum value of 125 mg/kg. A dosage rate of 200 kg/ha is

recommended for initial treatment.

• Organic materials (e.g. manure), ammonium sulphur, or gypsum should be added to improve sulphur

levels. A dosage rate of 10 to 20 kg of sulphur per hectare should be applied.

Soil Landscape Description

Umwelt (Australia) Pty Limited 1829/R03/A4B May 2005 1

Appendix 4B - Soil Landscape Description Soil landscape descriptions are adapted from DIPNR (2003) Bindook Road Variation A Bindook Road variation A is the predominate soil landscape unit in the area north of the Main Southern Railway. The crests and upper slopes of Bindook Road variation A soils are characterised by Paralithic Bleached Leptic Tenosols (Lithosols) with the mid and upper slopes being characterised by Brown Kurosols (Red and Yellow Podzolic Soils). Lower slopes of the soil landscape unit are characterised by Grey Sodosols (Solodic Soils). The Bindook Road variant A soil landscape typically contains three horizons. The topsoil consists of two horizons (A1 and A2), with the materials comprising the A1 horizon ranging from a weak sandy loam to a silty/fine granular clay loam. pH for the A1 horizon range from 4.5 to 5.5. The A2 horizon is comprised of bleached dilatant sandy clay loam. The pH of the A2 horizon ranges from 4.5 to 5.5 with the texture of the material ranging from sandy clay loam to silty clay loam. The A1 and A2 horizons of the Bindook Road variant A soil landscape overly a sub-angular medium clay subsoil being reddish brown to yellowish brown in colour. The pH of the subsoil ranges from 5 to 6 with the structure ranging from moderate to strong pedality. Bindook Road Bindook Road is the predominate soil landscape unit to the south of the Main Southern Railway. This soil landscape unit also runs along the western edge of the project area, with patches also found in the northeast of the project area as shown on Figure 5.2 of the main text of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Bindook Road soil landscape typically has four horizons, being the A1 and A2 horizons as well as the B2 and B3 horizons. The A1 horizon ranges from a weak sandy loam to a silty/fine sandy granular clay loam. Field pH ranges from 4.5 to 5.5. The structure of the A1 horizon ranges from massive to moderate pedality for the silty/fine sandy loam and from massive to weak pedal for the weak sandy loam. Fragment sizes range from coarse gravel to cobbles with the peds being 2-5 mm and angular in shape. The A2 horizon is comprised of a bleached dilatant sandy clay loam with a pH range of 4.5 to 5.5. The fragment sizes of coarse gravel to cobbles overlies the strong brown sub angular blocky medium clay of the subsoil B2 horizon. The B2 horizon has a pH range of 5 to 6 with fragment sizes ranging from coarse gravel to cobbles. Ped sizes for the B2 horizon are in the order of 20-50 mm. The B2 horizon is characterised by moderate to strong pedality with fragment sizes ranging from coarse gravel to cobbles. The greyish brown medium heavy sandy clay of the B2/3 horizon underlies the A2 horizon. The sandy clay material is characterised by angular to sub-angular blocky ped shapes ranging from gravel to cobbles. This horizon is highly erodible, dispersive and sodic in nature. Jaqua The Jaqua soil landscape unit is found in the project area along the main channel of Joarimin Creek. The Jaqua soil landscape unit is also located in the southeastern corner of the project area. The rises of the Jaqua soil landscape unit are characterised by Yellow Kurosols (yellow podsolic soils) with the foot slopes being characterised by yellow and brown Sodosols (Soloths, Solidic Soils and Solodized Solonetz). The channels are characterised by Stratic Rudosols comprising alluvial soils.

Umwelt (Australia) Pty Limited 1829/R03/A4B May 2005 2

The Jaqua soil landscape unit is generally composed of A1, A2 and B2 horizons. The A1 and A2 horizon is comprised of a number of materials typically being poorly structured loamy sand to sandy clay loam and a bleached dilatent silty clay loam. The loamy sand to sandy clay loam is brown to dark greyish brown in colour with ped sizes ranging from <2 mm up to 5 mm. Ped shapes are granular and polyhedral with ped structure ranging from single grained to weak pedal. The pH of the poorly structured loamy sand to sandy clay loam is highly variable, ranging from 4.5 to 10 with all materials having a high concentrated flow erodibility. The bleached dilatant silty clay loam displays characteristics similar to the other materials comprising the A1 and A2 horizon. The subsoils of the Jaqua soil landscape unit are of a clayey nature and include a sodic mottled well structured medium clay, a moderately structured clay and a moderately structured dispersive clay. The pH ranges for the moderately structured clay range from 5 to 6 with the ped structure ranging from moderate to strong pedality. Fragment sizes range from fine gravel to coarse gravel with ped shape being sub-angular blocky to angular blocky. The moderately structured dispersive clay is greyish yellow in colour and has a pH range of 6 to 9. Fragment sizes are fine gravel to coarse gravel and ped size and shape are consistent with the other materials which comprise the Jaqua sub soil horizon. The concentrated flow erodibility of the dispersive subsoil is high as is the non-concentrated flow erodibility. Marulan The Marulan Soil Landscape unit is found in a small band in southeastern corner of the project area. The upper slopes of the Marulan Soil Landscape Unit contain Paralithic Leptic Rudosols (Lithosols) and Chemic Tenosols (Earthy Sands) with Shallow Red Kandosols (Red Earths) also being present. The mid slopes of the soil landscape unit contain Red Kurosols (Red Podzolic Soils) with the lowers slopes containing Brown Sodosols (Solodic Soils). The Marulan soil landscape unit typically contains an A1 horizon which consists of a brown coarse sandy loam/sandy clay loam. The fragment sizes range from fine gravel to stones with ped shapes being sub-angular blocky to polyhedral. The structure is massive to weak pedal. The A2 horizon consists of a reddish brown, massive sandy clay loam and a bleached hardsetting sandy loam/clay loam. pH of the A2 horizon ranges from 5 to 6.5 with fragment sizes ranging from fine gravel to gravel. The concentrated flow erodibility and the non-concentrated flow erodibility potential of both the A1 and A2 horizons is considered to be high. The subsoil of the Marulan soil landscape unit contains two horizons, the B and B2 horizon. The B horizon is composed of an earthy sandy loam with fragment size ranging from fine gravel to gravel. The pH of the B horizon ranges from 5.5 to 7 with the flow erodibility of the horizon being high. The B2 horizon consists of red subangular blocky clay and a sodic yellow subangular blocky clay. The red subangular blocky clay has a pH range of 4 to 6.5, while the sodic yellow subangular blocky clay has a pH range of 5.5 to 7. Both material are characterised by a high concentrated flow erodibility and a moderate non-concentrated flow erodibility.
