4 THE SITE DESCRIPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The Site is identified as part of 13 Beaton Rd, Berrimah NT 0828. Certificate of Title Volume 680
Folio 170, in the Survey Plan of the area named Berrimah, Hundred of Bagot. The size of the Site
is approximately 2 hectares 6380 square metres. The Site is located within the Berrimah Light
Industrial Area. The entrance to the Site is off Beaton Road, on the southwest corner of the
property.
4.1 Site Description
Veolia (formerly Collex) have been operating on this site since 2004. There are three structures on
site; 1) reception and office building, 2) a shed that houses the operational activities, 3) Vehicle
Wash Bay and packaging area. The following activities are undertaken on site: Please refer to
Appendix C, Appendix D, Appendix E for site plan.
Reception and Office,
Recycling and baling area (contained within shed),
Liquid waste treatment and transfer, including ElectroDaf (contained within shed),
Packaged Waste (within covered Dome Structure),
Autoclave treatment area for biosecurity waste (formerly Quarantine) and medical waste
(treatment contained within shed)
Dangerous Goods Storage, and
Vehicle Wash Bay (general washing; excludes biosecurity),
Truck Parking.
Please note that the term “Medical Waste” referenced in this document is interchangeable with and
corresponds to “Clinical and related waste” (excluding animal carcasses, cytotoxic waste, chemical
waste, radioactive waste and Pharmaceutical wastes).
4.1.1 Surface construction
All public and external commercial vehicle access areas are concreted. The general surface of
other areas is a mixture of bitumen, asphalt overlay and dirt. All the treatment and packaging
activities are undertaken in covered areas, thus preventing the contamination of storm water.
4.2 Site Services
The site is serviced by the following:

Water,
telecommunications
4.3 Site Control
The site is enclosed by a security fence. The access gate to the Site is on the Beaton Road
entrance on the western side and only commercial and facility transfer vehicles have direct access
to the plant. The entrance is locked, along with the Reception building and the Quarantine/ Medical
Shed at any time the depot is unattended and security patrols are in place. The Site is enclosed by
a security fence 1.8 metre high, with at least two strands of barbed wire at the top of the fence.
4.3.1 Signage
All signage is installed and maintained. Warning signs are situated at the site entrance listing possible
hazards: Corrosive, Toxic, Flammable liquid, Oxidizing Agent and Miscellaneous Goods; Caution signs are
also present i.e.: Safety Glasses; Emergency contact details; Traffic direction signage, appropriate for the
safe and orderly management of traffic on the facility.
4.3.2 Hours of operation and staffing
The site operates 6 days per week, generally from 6:00am to 5:00pm, with extended hours are
required within the treatment areas to meet customer demands. At all times when the depot is
open for receipt and dispatch of waste, there is an employee/s present and responsible for:
controlling the reception and sorting of waste,
controlling employees working in the depot,
Supervising all persons entering the depot.
All authorised listed wastes received are labelled, tracked by a Waste Manifest Form (WFM) and
are accompanied by a SDS (Safety Data Sheets) to ensure safe handling and storage.
4.3.3 Emergency Procedures
The Plant has in operation a set of procedures to ensure that emergencies are managed
effectively. The detailed procedures are included in the NT Beaton Road Site Plant Emergency
Response Plan (PLA-NT-000-007).
4.4 Adjacent Land Use and sensitive receptors
Sensitivity of the receiving environment is an important aspect of environmental management and
is therefore considered essential for this plan. The degree of sensitivity is based on the
characteristics of the land use. Even though the zoning classification of land use has been

identified as light industrial, a mixture of land use types have been established in the area
surrounding the Site.
In order to identify the sensitive receptors based on land use surrounding the site, a sensitivity
classification criteria of ‘High’, ‘Med’ and ‘Low’ has been developed (whereby high represents
highly sensitive receptors) as described in Table 1.

Table 1: Sensitivity classification for different land use (Good Practice Guide for Assessing and
Managing Odour in New Zealand)
Land Use Type
Sensitivity
Classification Reason for classification
High Med Low
Heavy Industrial
A mix of odours, emissions and presence of
chemicals are generally expected and
tolerated in heavy industrial zones, as long as
the intensity of environmental impact is not too
severe.
Odours and air emitted from ground level tend
to produce the greatest impact at night, when
occupancy of an industrial site is low or nil.
Light Industrial
Light Industrial areas are characterised by a
mix of small industrial premises that are
moderately compatible with low intensity
environmental impact.
Light commercial/
business/ education/

People can be present through day and night
depending on business hours.
Hospitals and schools are land uses whereby
people expect better than average quality of
environment.
Visitors or clients of respective businesses
that are unfamiliar with odours, emissions,
chemicals or waste are likely to raise
awareness of a problem. Thus business
owners are also likely to be highly sensitive
towards environmental impact due to potential
impact on their business and/or workers.
Residential People can be present through all times of the

Generally low sensitivity as people using
public roads bypass location thus only present
for very short periods.
Based on the sensitivity classifications identified in the table above and the current and potential
future landuse surrounding the site, five sensitive receptors have been identified surrounding the
site as portrayed in Figure 1.

4.5 Weather Conditions
Weather conditions impact the intensity, flow rate and dispersion of emissions and odour and can
also have a significant impact on the potential for contamination of groundwater and stormwater;
and are therefore considered to be significant in environmental management. The top end of
Northern Territory where Darwin is located does not experience winter, as the climate is tropical
monsoonal with a dry and wet season. The dry season in Darwin typically lasts from May to
October, when humidity is lower and the average daily temperature is around 32°C. Between
November and April, the top end of NT experiences drastic increase in humidity (up to 98%), with
an average temperature of 39°C. During this time, NT is prone to strong winds and cyclones.
The intensity of odour and deterioration of air quality are directly related to temperature and
humidity. As the temperature and humidity increase, the potential detectability and intensity of
odour also significantly increases. Darwin weather being hot and humid - has a potential for
magnifying odour. Furthermore, wind speed and direction play an important role in the dispersion
of air and odour.
Furthermore, the wet season in Darwin is characterised by high humidity, monsoonal rains and
storms. Average temperatures range from 24.7 - 32 °C (76.5 - 89.6°F), and humidity can push past
80 per cent. The average annual rainfall is 1727.3 mm (68″) and January is the wettest month. This
makes the site location more prone to contamination of stormwater and groundwater, if waste
stored on site comes in contact with rain water and/or runoff. Darwin is also highly prone to
experiencing cyclone, thus resulting in high potential for environmental impact. Please also
reference the NT Darwin Severe Weather Procedure (PRO-NT-800-018)
4.6 Water Courses and Local Hydrogeology
Groundwater in the Darwin area is typically encountered in low transmissive fractured rock aquifers
of the Burrell Creek Formation, with yields of 0.5–5.0 litres/sec. Depths to groundwater vary
significantly with the seasons, during the wet season months the water table can be at ground level
dropping to 10 to 15 m below ground level (bgl) during the dry season months.
A search of the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Engineering (DIPE) Land and Water
Advisory
Services records indicated that nine registered bores were located within 0.5 km radius of the site.
DIPE do not hold any information as to the current status of the bores.

The available information from five wells indicated that the standing water levels were recorded
between 4.26 m and 8.23 m bgl. Limited water chemistry information included one sample from
registered bore (RN1720 8/7/70) collected in 1970. This concluded that with the exception of iron,
groundwater was suitable for human consumption. Groundwater in the Darwin area is typically of
low salinity (500 – 1500mg/L), suitable for human consumption and garden watering with respect
to salinity.
Groundwater beneath the site is likely to flow in approximately a southerly direction, ultimately
discharging to the Port of Darwin.
The water courses surrounding the site are located to the southwest and northwest of the site and
are the main water discharge points for the site. The water courses are linked as man-made drains
that flow towards Hidden Valley and eventually to the Port of Darwin. Surface water flow on the site
is as follows:
Water flowing from the southern boundary fence flows north to the drainage line that is located
parallel to the warehouse and from there, west to the southwest drain outside the property.
Water flowing from the southern side of the warehouse flows south to the drainage line that is
located parallel to the warehouse and from there, west to the southwest drain outside the
property.
Water flowing from the east of the warehouse flows to the northeast corner of the site.
Water flowing from the north of the warehouse flows in a northerly direction to the drainage
line/ man made channel located inside the northern boundary fence (Plate 16). The water from
this drainage line/ man made channel flows offsite to northwest drain.
4.7 Regional Geology
The 1:100,000 scale ‘Darwin’ (1983) Geological Survey of Northern Territory Map, Sheet No. 5073,
indicates that the geology underlying the site is likely to include:
Bathurst Island Formation sediments of the Lower Cretaceous Period, comprising of radiolarian
claystone; sandy claystone; clayey sandstone; quartz-sandstone; ferruginous sandstone;
glauconitic sandstone; Phosphorite modules.
Underlying the Bathurst Island Formation is the Burrell Creek Formation of the Finniss River
Group, comprising siltstone; shale; sandstone (quartz arenite, sublitharenite); quartz pebbles
conglomerate; metamorphosed to lower greenschist facies.

5 LEGAL NAND OTHER REQUIREMENTS
The site is compliant to and operates within (but not limited to) the following legislative
requirements:
Waste Management and Pollution Control Act and Regulations
Biosecurity Act
The site is operates under the following licenses and accreditations
EPA licence EPL202 (NT EPA)
Approved Arrangement C1139 (Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources)
The site is also accredited under the International Standards for Environmental Management
Systems ISO 14001:2015.
For further information regarding Legal and Other Requirements for the Site, refer to NT Register
of Legal & Other Requirements (REG-NT-8000-007).
6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES AND CONTROLS
Environmental management activities and control measures are implemented to avoid or minimise
environmental impacts. The following aspects and related controls correspond to the significant
risk impacts identified in the Environmental Aspect Impact Register (RAS-NT-800-020) for the Site.
6.1 Release to Land – potential release or spillage
As discussed in section 4.1.1, all treatment and packaging activities conducted on the Beaton
Road site are undertaken in covered, impermeable surfaces, thus resulting in no releases to land
without any impact on the groundwater system. However, unloading/ loading activities and vehicles
in transit have the potential to release to land which is controlled and monitored on site through the
management of the activities as described below.
6.1.1 Operational Activities
The recycling and baling area is used for the purpose of collection, segregation and baling of
cardboard, paper and dry recyclables. Collection of cardboard and dry recyclables is undertaken
through front lift and rear lift trucks. The activities associated with the recycling shed include
unloading of cardboard and paper, operation of the baler and loading of baled recyclables for
transportation to a licensed facility. The unloading of paper and cardboard waste within the
recycling shed for baling has the potential to spread litter due to the wind experienced onsite and
ventilation in the shed. This is monitored through monthly workplace inspections and controlled

PLAN NT BEATON ROAD ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Printed documents are uncontrolled versions. Check printed copies against the current electronic version for validity.
through regular scheduled workplace housekeeping activities. All inspection records are recorded
in line with section 8.2.
The autoclave treatment activity includes collection, transportation, storage, treatment, and
disposal of quarantine and medical waste. Quarantine (Biosecurity) waste is treated by autoclave
and disposed at landfill. The biosecurity operation is licenced and monitored by DAWR
(Department of Agriculture and Water Resources). Medical waste is transported by Pantech
vehicles, treated by autoclave, shredded and compacted for disposed at landfill.
Quarantine and medical treatment operations are undertaken within an enclosed shed. Bins
containing waste for treatment are lined and are loaded/ unloaded within the shed with the aid of a
bin tipper. The shed area is concreted and fully bunded minimising the impact should a spill occur.
All bin washing activities for quarantine and medical waste bins are undertaken within the shed in
designated washbay that diverts all wash water into a sump. The sump is regularly emptied with
wash water treated through the liquid treatment area prior to disposal through trade waste
discharge.
The Liquid transfer, storage and treatment activity includes the collection, receipt, storage,
treatment and transfer of listed waste identified in Table 1 of the Environmental Protection Licence
(EPL202) Liquid wastes are received in liquid trucks or road tankers. Liquid waste is transferred by
a transfer pump to the storage and treatment tanks for treatment, testing and discharging to trade
waste as regulated by Power and Water. All treatment, loading, unloading and disposal activities
for the liquid treatment areas are undertaken inside the bunded shed.
Packaged waste loaded and unloaded on site has the potential of releasing liquid waste due to
leakages or damages to the container. Therefore, all loading and loading activities are limited to
concreted areas to prevent contamination of stormwater and groundwater systems. Listed waste
identified in Table 1 of the Environmental Protection Licence (EPL202) received in packaged
containers is identified, labelled, re-packaged and stored ready for transport to another treatment
facility.
Furthermore, the entire site is equipped with fully stocked spill kits at accessible location at regular
intervals and all operational staff trained in spill response (as per Spill response procedure PRO-
SANT-000-070).
All environmental releases or incidents are reported and investigated through the electronic
incident management system Rivo Safeguard in line with the national Veolia Incident Investigation
Procedure (PRO-COL-000-227).

Printed documents are uncontrolled versions. Check printed copies against the current electronic version for validity.
6.1.2 Storage
Storage of all waste streams handled on site is required to be set up in areas with minimal potential
to release to land. The bund capacities have been established assuming 120% of the largest
container stored in the bunded area.
Prior to treatment, quarantine or medical waste bins are stored within the shed or in refrigerated
container (reefers) just outside the shed.
All Iiquid waste received through tankers on site is stored in holding tanks within the bunded shed
or in ISO tankers in bunded areas.
All waste packaged for the purpose of transporting to a licensed facility, is packed in a covered
dome on a designated wash bay/ packaging area connected to a sump that is regularly emptied to
ensure effectiveness as a spill control mechanism. All packaged waste in transit is stored within
self bunded DG rated containers on site with appropriate segregation of incompatible waste
streams.
All trucks parked on site are required to unload waste at respective licensed facilities prior to
returning to site (outside of abnormal circumstances and/or emergencies), thus preventing
potential of release on site. All trucks are also equipped with fully stocked serviceable spill kits to
enable spill response during transport or parking.

6.2 Release to Water – potential release of liquid
Based on the layout portrayed in Appendix C release to land occurs at points of discharge:
Waste water from boiler blow-down,
Water from autoclave (sterilized),
Water from autoclave condenser (sterilized),
Water from wash bay
First Three discharge points will be captured and piped into a low profile concrete tank before
being pumped into the Electro DAF for treatment, and reuse or discharged to trade waste.
The water from the wash bay will also be captured in a dedicated blind sump, filtered for solids and
processed through an oil water separator before discharged to Trade Waste. Oil captured will be
reused in other commercial processes where appropriate. All discharge and capture points are

contained within a bund. Prior to discharging the wastewater, tests would be conducted to assess
the adequacy of the water quality for trade waste disposal.
The designated bin and vehicle wash area for quarantine and medical operations is contained
within the shed and the wash area is enclosed by 3.5m high splash walls. The water from the
wash area is captured in a blind sump/ soil trap and processed through a 100 micron filtration &
oily water/solids separator, then discharged trade waste per Power and Water.
6.3 Release to Air – potential emissions and odour
Based on the proposed site layout portrayed in Appendix C, release to air occurs at three points:
Autoclave condenser flue
Boiler flue
Boiler blow-down flue
Potential release of odour and air emissions are discussed in detail within the NT Beaton Road
Odour Management Plan (PLA-NT-800-008) and Emissions Monitoring Plan (PLA-NT-800b-001).

8 STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT
This is defined in detail within the SA & NT Consultation & Communication procedure (PRO-SANT-
000-001), and additional plans specific to a project will be developed where it is deemed
necessary.
8.1 Complaints handling
All complaints will be recorded into the Rivo Safeguard (electronic) incident management system
and investigated on a case by case basis. The system includes the following information:
date and time of the complaint;
date and time of the occurrence of matters causing the complaint;
name and position of the person receiving the complaint;
name and address of complainant (if known);
action taken in response to the complaint;
action taken to prevent a re-occurrence of the circumstances leading to the complaint.
Regulatory authorities will be notified in line with license requirements. For further information, refer
to Veolia National incident management and investigation process
8.2 Record Keeping and Reporting
The site maintains records of all waste leaving the depot in line with the Veolia Records
Management system (ELE-COL-000-004). All authorised listed wastes received are labelled,
tracked by a Waste Manifest Form (WFM) and are accompanied by a SDS (Safety Data Sheets) to
ensure safe handling and storage.
The site instructs transporters to ensure that waste removed from the premises is only taken to a
depot licensed by the appropriate environmental regulatory authority in the State or Territory of the
receiving depot.
