1. INTRODUCTION

M-I Australia has been operating within the North West of Western Australia for more than 30 years,

and within the Broome Light Industrial Area (LIA) and Broome Port since 2008. The primary role of M-I

Australia facilities is to provide drilling fluids of both Water Based and Synthetic based make up, along

with associated palletized and bulk materials for conditioning the fluids offshore.

During the past 30 years M-I Australia has supplied drilling fluids for the offshore Oil and Gas industry in

Australia without any major incident or impact to the local environment, and continues to be the

industry leader in product quality, safety, environmental and operational standards.

Drilling fluids are blended and reconditioned on site and stored in vertical tanks until required by drill

rigs. All blending and conditioning of fluids is conducted within an enclosed mixing shed facility and

under controlled conditions with trained plant operators. All material is delivered to/from the rig site via

Platform Supply Vessels who currently berth at the wharf located within Broome Port Authority

grounds, with all materials being delivered to the wharf via road tankers.

2. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS

Lot E3 is located on the north eastern side of Port Drive within the Broome Port Authority area. The site

is bordered to the east by Roebuck Bay with a nature reserve separating the site from the beach area.

To the North of the site there is a natural coastal bush block and on the bay there is a hovercraft base

supporting the tourism industry. To the West, is Port Drive, with a large logistical facility operated by Toll

Mermaid and a Bulk Fuel Storage Depot operated by both Shell and BP. The South of the site is a

limestone road train break up and turn around facility mainly used for road trains servicing the adjacent

fuel depot. The entire site is to be secured through 6 foot cyclone fencing with two feet of barbed wire

runs atop, and secured gates such that the facility can be completely locked down during periods of

inactivity.

The entire site is to be sealed with either concrete bunds or two coat bitumen seal to ensure any and all

materials on site are completely contained. One third of the site consists of concrete bunds to provide

secondary containment of all fluids materials stored on site, and catch approximately 1/3 of storm water

that falls on site. This in turn reduces the amount of storm water discharge from the site by

approximately 1/3 as all of the storm water collected in bund areas will be recycled and used in the

making of brines. All warehousing on site has been designed to be weather resistant such that storm

water will not penetrate them.

To assist in water management on site a water monitoring well has been installed on the eastern side of

the lot, closest to the bay. Regular ground water monitoring will be conducted by M-I Australia and

Broome Port Authority as per Broome Port Authority TEMR requirements.

The site has been designed such that the warehouse is closest to the Roebuck Bay area. The rear of the

warehouse only has emergency personnel access doors such that all material stored within the

warehouse cannot make its way towards the bay. The liquid tank storage areas are located on the Port

Drive side of the site such that emergency access to tanks is available from all sides, with fire and

emergency vehicles being able to park vehicles on any side of the tank farm should the need ever arise.

All fluid mixing on site is to be conducted within the mixing shed and all bulk powder cutting operations

are to be conducted within the large warehouse. These buildings are self bunded and self-contained

such that any release of material is contained within the concrete foundations and able to be collected

and disposed of through third party approved waste disposal contractor.






A septic system will be installed on site for the handling / storage of sewage in accordance with Health

Act 1911, Heath(Treatment of Sewage and Disposal of Effluent and Liquid Waste) Regulation 1974.

regulations, and as stated by Dangerous Goods Consultant.

Repalletization of products;

o To be conducted within Large enclosed warehouse.

o To be done with use of pallet inverter to minimize sack handling and potential spills.

o All palletized material to be covered in additional UV rated black plastic protective

covering.

2.3 Waste Oil Collection

Any waste oil or other associated hazardous waste is periodically collected and disposed of by a licensed

waste carrier. All waste oil collected on site is stored in 1000L Intermediate Bulk Containers which are in

turn stored within concrete bunded areas for secondary containment. Waste oils are then removed

from site by third party waste disposal contractor and transported to their facility for disposal. In

addition a licensed waste services provider will be periodically contracted to pump out the sumps of the

designated bunded areas and other waste collection when sumps are nearing capacity.

Each concrete bund is engineered to Australian Standards and designed to contain fluid should any

container or tank experience a leak or rupture. Each bund has a self-contained, mesh grated, one cubic

meter sump that has been designed such that vacuum trucks are able to lower hoses into them to

remove fluid levels below the floor level surface of the concrete foundation. This ensures that maximum

amount of fluids can be removed from bunds and minimizes the potential for remaining residue.






2.4 Equipment Inspection & Maintenance

General cleaning and maintenance of onsite equipment (pumps, compressors, forklifts) is conducted by

approved third party contractors. Any waste generated from such activities is removed by the third

party conducting the maintenance. All maintenance of equipment is to be conducted within the bunded

warehouse area to ensure that materials associated with maintenance cannot enter the general

surroundings. Maintenance areas have been designed such that all equipment undergoing maintenance

can be stored without impacting site operations.

All bulk silos are periodically inspected and certified as per AS-3788 (Pressure Vessel Testing) by a

government approved third party certification agent, in addition periodic visual checks are conducted

internally of all tanks, piping and associated fittings. All bulk silos are registered through WorkSafe WA.

Pressure Relief valves in place on bulk silos are inspected by NATA certified testing agents on an annual

basis. In addition all associated pressure gauges are tested and replaced as required annually by a NATA

certified agent.

All Liquid bulk tanks are manufactured to API-650 and are periodically inspected.

2.5 Traffic Management

Lot E3 utilizes a one way traffic flow system in order to help mitigate the risk of a motor vehicle related

incident occurring within the base. Traffic will enter off Port Drive and exit through the side gate onto

what is currently known as the Hovercraft base road. The posted maximum speed for the base will be

15km/h. All loading and unloading operations will occur within designated loading zones only.

Please see below diagram showing the traffic flow within the facility.






Figure 2.5: Traffic Management diagram

2.6 Storm Water Management

Storm water control measures are in place including:

a) Storm water collected within a bund will be processed through an oil and water separator and water

pumped is then pumped to the brine mixing facility for re-use within the plant.

b) Storm water collected in the two retention ponds is to be tested prior to discharge. If testing is

within required limits the water is then pumped via spray bar over rock pitching and released to the

environment. If Storm water does not meet specification it is processed through the oil/water

separator and tested again. If quality does not meet discharge standards an approved third party

waste disposal contractor will pump retention ponds dry and dispose of the fluid as per regulation.

c) Prior to first rainfall event at the commencement of the wet season, water monitoring results will be

submitted to the Shire of Broome within an agreed period of 7 days from receipt.

Water testing Criteria

pH Between 6.5 and 7.5






Oil Less than 10ppm

Solids Less than 0.2% TSS

Turbidity Less than 40 NTU

Chlorides Less than 40,000mg/L

Hardness Less than 300mg/L

Where water fails to meet testing limits for release it is then collected by an approved waste disposal

contractor.

During exceptional rainfall events, storm water can sheet flow overland off the site, transporting

sediment and potentially oil contaminated water toward Roebuck Bay. For this reason considerable care

is taken to keep the site clean and an independent environmental audit on an occasional basis is

conducted.

2.7 Waste Management

Strategies to minimize the potential for disposal liability are employed such as:

Reducing the amount of waste generated.

Limiting the number of disposal companies used.

Compaction of waste generated to reduce volume.

Companies contracted for the disposal of waste are audited in accordance with SLB-QHSE-S008

Environmental Standard. Only approved waste service providers are used for disposal of hazardous and

non hazardous waste.

M-I Australia handles different types of wastes including:

Products that are classified as hazardous to the environment i.e. used oil, waste paints, used

solvents etc.

Products that are non hazardous i.e. used pallets, paper etc.

Common waste at M-I Australia facilities includes:

Damaged product containers (sacks, bags, drums, plastic containers, barrels).

Empty product containers (sacks, bags, drums, plastic containers, barrels).

Unusable product.

for the management of waste streams.

Below table (2.7.2) is a copy of the template use for waste classification and disposal routes.

Table 2.7.1






Table 2.7.2

Storage

M-I Australia requires weekly inspections of all chemical storage areas. Inspections must be documented

using the Weekly Storage Checklist Form and should address:

1. Are all containers free of leaks, corrosion and deterioration? If leaks, corrosion or deterioration

is evident has the product been classified as Grade B or Grade C waste product?

2. Is an accurate manifest on hand specifying exact quantities of Grade B and Grade C waste

products?

3. Is each container clearly marked with a label stating its contents?

4. Do all products classified as dangerous goods have appropriate hazard labels?

5. Are sacks, bags, drums, plastic containers, barrels or pallets stored with sufficient aisle space

and at a level which allows access to inspect and/or respond to leaks?

6. Are used oil containers clearly labeled Used Oil?

7. Are absorbent materials and other spill cleanup equipment available in sufficient quantities?






8. Is PPE available in accordance with MSDS recommendations for all products?

9. Is first aid equipment available in the area and in sufficient quantities?

10. Is area suitably signposted as a Waste Product Storage Area?

2.8 Spill Prevention and Control Plans

In the event of a Spill during the unloading or loading process, the control measures in place are as

follows:

Continuous monitoring of hoses and connections is conducted by the M-I Australia employee in

accordance with Standard Operation procedures (Dry break couplings are utilized for transfers

to minimize any spills that may occur.

All hose connections coupled outside bunded areas are to be controlled through use of

appropriately sized drip trays.

All Synthetic base fluid tanks and mud tanks are contained within a bunded area designed to

contain 110% of the largest vessel enclosed in accordance with AS-1940, plus 125mm to account for a 125mm in 24 hour rainfall event.

All drum products are contained with a bunded area.

Spill recovery kits are located at the facility.

Detailed Spill Response Procedures are available in the event of a spill at the facility. Response

procedures are in place for Base Fluids, Brines, diesel, Bulk powders etc. An example is included

as Figure 2.2.

4. DESCRIPTION OF THE EXISTING ENVIRONMENT

This section provides an overview of the existing receiving environment. It is described in terms of the

regional setting, physical environment, ecological features and socioeconomic features.

4.1 Regional Setting

The Site is situated on the Dampier Peninsula and is 5km south-west of Broome town site and located

within the boundaries of the Port Management Area. The area surrounding Lot E3 is currently natural

coastal bush land. Lot E3 currently slopes westwards towards Port Drive and current drainage is

determined by the existing environmental lay of land.

The site is bounded to the North-West by an access way to Broome Hovercraft base and beyond that is

an undeveloped block of remnant native vegetation. To the North-East the property is bounded by

native vegetation corridor which stretches to Roebuck Bay. South-East the property has a soft stand

road train lay-down and turn around bay, while the South West is bounded by Port Drive.

4.2 Physical Environment

The site is bounded to the east by Roebuck Bay with a native vegetation and pindan cliff conservation

area separating the site from the bay. Site drainage has been designed to minimize the current impact of

erosion to the pindan cliffs, and is to be monitored and modified as per required to ensure the






protection of the natural vegetation and erosion of this area. Site drainage plan incorporates the

catchment of one third of storm water on site to assist in reducing the current downstream erosion

potential.

Heritage studies have determined that there is no significant site within the boundaries of the lease

area, and has been confirmed by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs. There are some significant sites

located close by in the bay area and due to the sensitive nature of these sites all practices are to be

employed to protect these sites from damage or erosion due to any and all operations on site.

4.2.1 Climate

The site is arid, however Rainfall is generally low (avg. ann. ~517mm), and demonstrates a summer peak

(cyclone season), with a lesser winter peak occurring in response to high pressure system traversing

southern Australia (Figures 4.2.1 and 4.2.2). The late winter-spring period is generally dry. Temperatures

range from a minimum average of ~14C in winter, to an average peak approaching 35C in summer.

Wind at the site is largely Westerly (winter) and Easterly (winter) in the morning, swinging south-east

and north east respectively in the afternoon (Figure 4.2.3). Wind strengths are generally less than

15knots, but can exceed 20knots.

Figure 4.2.1: Average Rainfall






Figure 4.2.2: Average Minimum and Maximum Temperature

Figure 4.2.3: Wind strength and Direction for 9am and 3pm observations (source BoM)






4.3. Vegetation

Plant communities in the Port Management Area and surrounds have been surveyed and described by

LeProvost Environmental Consultants (1990) and Woodman Environmental Consulting (2008, 2009). The

native vegetation present has been determined to be of non-threatened varieties, and processes and

practices implemented on site are designed to eliminate any disturbance to vegetation within

surrounding areas.

Additional site inspections have been undertaken by Coffey Environments (2013a, b). Based on results of

an independent environmental site investigation conducted in 2013 the TEC monsoon Thickets, the PEC

Mangarr community and the threatened Keraudrenia exastia were not reported to occur within the site

boundaries of Lot E3.

Monthly site inspections include visual inspection of surrounding areas.

5.1 Emergency Response Plan

The Emergency Response Plan details the basic guidelines to be followed by M-I Australia personnel in

the event of an incident occurring within facility. The Emergency Response Plan is designed to integrate

with any other emergency management plans. In addition separate Cyclone Management plans and Spill

Prevention and control plans are also in place.

5.2 Spill Response Plan

The M-I Australia Spill Response Plan is designed to help protect the environment in two ways:

First, it provides the procedures / processes which will be used to prevent chemical spills, and

waste releases; and






Second, should a spill or release occur, it describes the protocols for immediate coordination of

necessary activities to minimize any harmful effects, including notification of appropriate

government agencies as required under applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

To handle a spill response effectively, the Spill Response Plan provides descriptions of the duties to be

performed by facility personnel, procedures to be followed, available equipment, and available outside

resources. See below Figure 5.2 (Spill Response Flowchart)

Figure 5.2: Spill Response Flowchart






5.3 Cyclone Emergency Response Plan

M-I Australia has a detailed Cyclone Emergency Response Plan that outlines its actions and

responsibilities managing the risk posed by cyclones in the Kimberley Region, and specifically in the

Broome Area. Pre-Cyclone actions include awareness training for all employees (including annual online

refresher training) preparedness preparations in accordance with BOM guidelines, emergency contacts

etc. Further details can be found in the M-I Australia Broome Cyclone emergency response plan.

5.4 Noise Management

Noise generated during operations shall be managed in accordance with Environmental Protection

(Noise) Regulations 1997. Control measures in place to reduce noise to reasonably practicable levels

include but not limited to the following;

a) All equipment to be regularly maintained to ensure efficient operation in accordance with

manufacturers recommendations.

b) Pre-start checks and maintenance schedules shall be in place to ensure equipment performance is

in accordance with requirements.

c) Noise dampening equipment is fitted where required on equipment in accordance with National

Code of Practice.

d) Periodic Noise surveys are conducted to ensure exposure levels are with tolerance limits.

5.5 Insect / Vermin Vector Management

Insect vector management will focus around control of vermin, flies and mosquitos.

Methods of Control

Vector controls will focus on utilizing preventative methods to control/reduce or eliminate vector

populations. Typical preventative measures are as follows:

Habitat Control

Removing or reducing areas where vectors can easily breed. Including, stagnant water removal, general

waste to be stored in sealed covered bins with weekly removal, removal of retention pond contents in

accordance with storm water management plans e.g. after cyclonic rainfall which may serve as

mosquito breeding environments. Good management of used water can reduce areas of excessive

vector incidence.






Chemical Control

Insecticides, rodenticides and repellents may be used to control vectors. For example, insecticides can

be applied to areas where insects may gather, and use of personal repellents can reduce incidence of

insect bites and thus infection. The use of rodenticides i.e. baits may be used to help control vermin

should they required.

If vectors should reach levels where additional action is required a licensed pest controller will be called

into initially assess and then implement plan to bring under control.

5.6 Air Quality

The Location Manager in conjunction with HSE will implement and maintain a Pollution Prevention Plan

that includes: a current list of potential emissions and sources, regulatory requirements, procedures for

meeting regulatory requirements, and training and record keeping requirements.

The Location Manager will implement pollution prevention measures to minimize point source (e.g.

chemical blending in tanks) and fugitive (e.g., yard roadway dust) air emissions. The Site Manager will

consult with the APG Environmental Manager or the HSE representative for approved methods. For

example, water is the only approved dust suppressant that may be applied to yards to control dust

emissions.

Typical Type of Emissions;

1) Internal combustion engine - NOx, CO, particulates, SOx, VOCs

Standard emissions from Diesel trucks, forklifts, and light vehicles - No more than

would be experienced at any site, roadway or commercial precinct.

2) Diesel storage tank - VOCs

No more than would be experienced at any site or commercial precinct with diesel

storage tank.

3) Bulk plant particulates

Rubber curtains on cutting operations to reduce initial created airborne particulates.

Silo Vent particulate discharge is suppressed through use of reverse pulsating dust

collection/filtration equipment

5.7 Bushfire Management

Prevention and management of bushfire are in accordance with FESA local instructions. The site is to

maintain a one meter clear zone inside the perimeter to assist in reducing risk of fire damage in the






event of bush fire. Three sides of the lease area are easily accessible by Fire and emergency services at

all times with the only side not accessible by emergency vehicles being bordered by the large

warehouse. Behind the warehouse is a 1m exclusion zone and concrete drainage system which acts as

emergency egress for staff that may be present inside the warehouse and unable to exit through

normal operational doorways.

5.8 Contractors and Carriers

All contractors carrying at the Site are required to complete a full site induction and also required to

operate under the facilitys Permit to Work System. All Contractors will be required to act in accordance

with this EMP at all times while on Site.

5.9 Implementation of Environmental Management Plan

Management of M-I Australia operational activities that may have an impact upon environment is

detailed in our Safe Operational Procedures and JSAs.

5.9.1 Implementation

To ensure effective implementation, M-I Australia:

a) Communicate the OEMP to all staff, contractors and train personnel. Failure to involve all

staff/contractors means that some may have little understanding of the issues and no

ownership of the management measures that should be implemented.

b) Make environmental considerations an integral part of the decision making process.

c) Ensure that all contractors working on the site follow Safe Operational Procedures in place and

comply with the OEMP.

d) Periodically review operations where these procedures are implemented.

e) Conduct periodic environmental management audits to ensure correct implementation of the

OEMP.

5.9.2 Environmental Monitoring and Review

One of the central aspects of environment management plan implementation is monitoring the

effectiveness of the procedures in reducing environmental impacts.

A monitoring program will be in place so that procedures may be improved or new ones developed. A

Monitoring well has been installed on site for collection of environmental data such as water quality.






Compliance to this OEMP shall be assessed based on the following performance factors:

Internal (first and second-party) assessments against the requirements of this OEMP.

Number and severity of environmental incidents, in absolute terms and normalized for

exposure.

Number of proactive environmental activities including near-incident and hazardous

situation reports, communication meetings, inspections, etc.

The internal audit assurance process applies to all risk levels;

Where only Fundamental level controls apply, a second-party assessment shall be

performed every 48 months.

Where any Medium level controls apply a second-party assessment shall be performed every 36

months.

Where any High level controls apply, a second-party assessment shall be performed every

24 months.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL RISK REGISTER

M-I Australia operations and activities, by their nature, have the potential to impact upon one or more

aspects of the natural or social environment. The risk register describes activities undertaken at the

facility, identifies the potential significant environmental and social impacts, and summarizes

operational controls currently in place to mitigate these impacts.






6.1 Definitions

Air Emissions

Hazardous substances, including gases or particulates for which M-I Australia and associated

contractors are responsible released into the air. Hazardous air emission sources at M-I Australia sites

include, but are not limited to: bulk powder plants, engine exhausts, and some sand blasting operations.

Dangerous Goods

Dangerous goods are substances or articles that, because of their physical, chemical (physicochemical)

or acute toxicity properties, present an immediate hazard to people, property or the environment. The

criteria used to determine whether substances are classified as dangerous goods are contained in the

Regulations which refer to the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG Code) (available at

www.ntc.gov.au). This is closely aligned with the criteria of the United Nations Recommendations on

the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Model Regulations.
