Executive Summary



Executive Summary The Annual Environmental Management Report (AEMR) 2015-2016 is the 12th report prepared to

detail the environmental performance of the Clyde Transfer Terminal (the Terminal), owned and

operated by Veolia Australia and New Zealand (Veolia). This AEMR covers the period of 15 January

2015 to 14 January 2016 (the reporting period).

In accordance with Conditions 58 and 59 of the Conditions of Development Consent (the Consent

Conditions), the AEMR includes a summary of the Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) and

results in relation to the environmental performance of the Terminal against relevant standards,

performance measures and statutory requirements. Any non compliance identified during this

reporting period and corrective actions are also discussed. The EMP is appended to the Operational

Environmental Management Plan (OEMP) along with supporting environmental management plans, to

manage the environmental performance of the Terminal whilst in operation in accordance with

statutory requirements. The OEMP forms the operational guidance document details environmental

protection measures implemented at the Terminal.

There were 4 non conformances identified in this reporting period:

Condition 10 of Notice of Modification (205-08-01 MOD 4) : The 500,000 tonnes per annum (TPA)

waste acceptance limit for the Terminal was exceeded in this reporting period due to a number of

external factors. These include non-Veolia facilities unable to maintain their operations and

diverting waste to the Terminal. The Department of Planning and Environment (the DPE) was

notified and a modification application submitted to request temporarily increase the annual limit to

550,000 TPA;

Condition 91 of Development Application 205-08-91: A fault with the onsite meteorological station

data logger resulted in a loss of data over two periods; from the 23rd of March till the 25th of March

and from the 28th of March till the 7th of April. The issue was found to be a faulty logger which was

replaced with a new model;

Condition 134 of Development Application 205-08-9: Failure to maintain the Community

Consultative Committee (CCC) due to a lack of ongoing member participation since September

2009. Veolia has been in ongoing discussions with the DPE seeking to submit an application to

remove the requirement to maintain a CCC due to lack of committee member interest. Based on

the Department’s advice, Veolia undertook consultation in this reporting period with both Auburn

Environmental Monitoring & Management



2. Environmental Monitoring & Management

Environmental monitoring at the Terminal during the 2015-2016 reporting period was conducted to the

Monitoring Schedule in accordance with the Environmental Management Plan (EMP). This program

incorporates all the monitoring requirements of the Consent Conditions and the EPL.

In accordance with Conditions 58 and 59 of the Consent Conditions, the following sections report on

the monitoring undertaken for each environmental aspect covered by the EMP, and results are

analysed against the relevant performance criteria and standards. The location of all environmental

monitoring points is shown on the Environmental Monitoring Locations Plan (refer to Appendix B).

During the reporting period, 1 non conformance relating to the collection of meteorological data

occurred. This was due to a fault in the data logger. This will be discussed in further detail in Section 3

- Non Conformance and Complaint Handling.

2.1 Air Quality Monitoring Monitoring in accordance with the Consent Conditions were undertaken during this reporting period to

determine if the Terminal’s operational activities have any impacts on the ambient air quality. The

following section provides further details regarding air quality monitoring and management practices.

2.1.1 Meteorology

In accordance with Condition 91 of the Consent Conditions, an automated onsite weather station

(Campbell Scientific Model CR800), logs meteorological data continuously in 15-minute intervals. A

daily 24 hour log is also summarised by the weather station. Data is downloaded frequently from a

secured website. The weather station is calibrated on a quarterly basis. Copies of the calibration

records are included in Appendix C1.

* This odour detection was from another source and was not characteristic of an odour generated from the Clyde site. The odour audit report states that there are no odours were detected off-site that could be linked back to the Transfer Terminal Station and its on-site activities.

The results from the Odour Audit for both auditing periods (May 2015 and November 2015), found that

no odours were detected offsite that could be linked back to the Terminal. TOU advised that the odour

management system was operating efficiently during both audits. The Terminal continues to meet the

requirements of the Technical framework assessment and management of odour from stationary

sources in NSW (DEC, November 2006). Copies of the two odour reports have been provided in

Appendix C2.

Veolia maintains a thorough housekeeping regime, which when combined with the odour management

controls in place onsite, help to minimise the likelihood of odour impacts on surrounding neighbours.

2.2 Noise Noise monitoring is undertaken at the Terminal to ensure that waste vehicles entering the Terminal are

not emitting nuisance noise emissions. The following table lists the parameters, respective

performance measures, standards and statutory requirements for background noise levels and vehicle

emissions limits.

2.2.1 Operational Noise Monitoring

In accordance with Condition 108/108A of the Consent Conditions, The Terminal continues to operate

within the stipulated noise limits. There were no registered noise complaints received from either

industrial or residential neighbours during the 2015-2016 reporting period.

2.2.2 Truck Noise Monitoring

In the 2015-2016 reporting period, one round of truck noise monitoring was undertaken in accordance

with Condition 112 of the Consent Conditions. During the 2015-2016 reporting period, noise levels of

97 truck movements out of a daily total of 256 truck movements were measured, equivalent to 38% of

truck movements. A summary of the results can be seen in the Figure 3.

All trucks monitored were between 65 to 85 dB(A), which fell within or below the thresholds outlined for

Heavy Goods Vehicles with a GVM > 12 tonne-road use of 81 to 87 dB(A) in accordance with the

Australian Design Rules (ADR) 28/01.

The detailed truck noise monitoring report can be found in Appendix C3 for the 2015-2016 reporting

period. There were no registered noise complaints from either industrial or residential neighbours

throughout the reporting period.




2.3 Traffic Vehicle movements at the Terminal for this reporting period totalled 92,330. A Traffic Management

Plan (TMP) which forms part of the OEMP is implemented in accordance with Conditions 50, 118-124

of the Consent Conditions. The traffic movements from the 2015-2016 reporting period are

summarised in Table 5.

A monitoring and recording program for transport routes in accordance with Condition 50(b) and (d)of

the Consent Conditions is contained in the OEMP. The measures employed to monitor and record the

movement of vehicles that access the site include:

Spot monitoring of vehicles by Site Manager, EMR or Weighbridge Operator, as well as monitoring

video surveillance of truck movements on site;

2.3.1 Traffic Infringements

A non-conformance with Condition 119 of the Consent Conditions regarding traffic management at the

site, occurred during this reporting period. The non-conformance was observed and recorded by DPE

on the 26 August 2015 during a site visit conducted at the Terminal, where waste vehicles were

observed accessing the site turning right off Parramatta Rd. Veolia received formal correspondence

from DPE stipulating a failure to adequately monitor and enforce requirements of Condition 119 of the

Consent.




Veolia has corresponded with the DPE regarding the following controls which have been put in place

to comply with the requirements of Condition 119:

- The Operational Environmental Management Plan for the Terminal, containing a site specific

Traffic Management Plan which details the actions Veolia take to induct, educate and manage

personnel entering the Terminal;

- Supporting NSW Clyde Transfer Terminal Waste Receivables Arrivals and Departures

Procedure and Site entry requirements which clearly stipulate traffic rules of the site.

In the event of a registered non-conformance, verbal warnings issued and communicated to drivers via

site inductions and the matter is immediately communicated to the site management and operators to

maintain diligence in traffic monitoring as well as Veolia’s NSW Sales Manager to communicate

directly to customers. Veolia intends to apply for a modification to this condition and has been liaising with the DPE on the

matter.

2.4 Waste The Waste Management Plan appended to the OEMP and prepared for the Terminal, in accordance

with Conditions 47, 62 – 69 of the Consent Conditions, details the procedures for the acceptance and

management of waste at the Terminal.

All waste received at the Terminal is recorded and maintained in the Systems, Applications and

Products in Data Processing (SAP) software. The program records the vehicles registration, date and

time of entry and exit and the gross and tare weight of the vehicle, as well as the nature and origin of

waste received by each contractor. Furthermore, data is recorded and tracked for the containers and

includes container status, container weight comparisons and carbon filter replacement. This

information is maintained daily by Site Supervisors and Weighbridge Operators.

Condition 10 of the modified Consent Conditions requires that waste volumes accepted by the

Terminal do not exceed 500,000 TPA. Veolia has corresponded with DPE notifying them of

exceedance in waste tonnages at Clyde Transfer Terminal during the 2015-2016 reporting period and

requested a modification to the development consent to increase the waste tonnage acceptance limit

to 550,000 tonnes per annum until 31st December 2015. The correspondence can be found in

Appendix A.




Veolia has submitted the Section 75W 'Application to Modify a Development Consent' form and have

liaised with the Department to this effect and is awaiting further advice from the Department.

During this reporting period, the volume of waste accepted at the Terminal was 536,483.44 tonnes, as

summarised in Table 5 below.

2.5 Pest and Vermin Pests and vermin management is undertaken at the Terminal to ensure that the control measures

implemented, to minimise the potential for birds, rodents, flies and other pests, remain effective. The

primary means of controlling pest and vermin activity is through good housekeeping measures and

daily inspections and checking.

The following table identifies the housekeeping undertaken at the Terminal to manage pest and

vermin.

Table 2-6: Pest and Vermin Management

Parameter Performance Measure Standard Statutory

Requirement Litter Control Visual Inspection Veolia National

Integrated Management System

Vermin and Pest Control Plan

Vermin Habitat Consent Condition 51,115-117

Pest control was undertaken by an external contractor (Expert Judgement Pest Management Pty Ltd)

throughout the reporting period. In addition to this, inspections are undertaken on a routine basis by

the Terminal’s operators, as part of general housekeeping and noted on the Housekeeping and

Inspection Checklist (FOR-COL-000-063). This form provides a record of the visual monitoring

undertaken at the Terminal and provides opportunity to identify where additional corrective actions

may need to be applied. For this AEMR period, no pest and vermin management issues were reported.

Non Conformance and Complaints Handling



3. Non Conformance and Complaints Handling

A review of the environmental performance of the Terminal determined that for the 2015-2016

reporting period there were 4 non-compliances, which are described below with the corrective and

preventative actions applied.

3.1 Non Conformance

3.1.1 Sampling and Analysis of Meteorological Parameters

A non-conformance for Condition 88 of the Consent Conditions, relating to the sampling and analysis

of meteorological parameters, occurred during this reporting period. Meteorological data was lost over

the periods from 23rd of March till the 25th of March and the 28th of March till the 7th of April due to

logger failure. The logger failures are likely to have occurred due to moisture ingress from humidity

created from adjacent dense vegetation which caused the data logger to become unreliable and stop

recording data. This issue is believed to be the cause of the logger failure during this period. The data

logger was replaced with a new model CR800 to resolve the issue and has since run continuously.

Veolia notes that no odour issues occurred during this period. If an odour issue had occurred where

an investigation required meteorological data, Veolia would have obtained local Bureau of

Meteorology data to supplement the missing data from the Clyde Transfer Terminal.

3.1.2 Community Consultation

In this reporting period, a non conformance was noted with Condition 134, as Veolia was not

successful in facilitating CCC meetings. Veolia contacted Michael Whelan (appointed chair) via

telephone to determine interest in ongoing chair duties on the CCC. Mr Whelan indicated that he was

not an active member and that there was no intention to call another committee meeting.




Veolia also met with the Council and were advised verbally that they would also not be interested in

active membership on the committee but were happy to be kept informed on all significant matters

pertaining to the Terminal.

Veolia has attempted to facilitate these CCC meetings but due to lack of interest from the Chair, local

community and the Council, have been unsuccessful. In light of this, Veolia is seeking to submit a

modification application to the DPE to remove the requirement to maintain a CCC.

Veolia also notes that other mechanisms are in place to notify stakeholders of environmental impacts

from the operations at the Clyde Transfer Terminal including this AEMR and the Pollution Incident

Response Management Plan process required under the Protection of the Environment (General)

Regulation 2009.

3.1.3 Traffic Management

Correspondence was received from the DPE for a number of waste vehicles that had been observed

to be turning right off Parramatta Road into the Terminal on 26 August 2015, which is a non-

conformance with Condition 119 of the Consent Conditions, relating to traffic management at the site.

Veolia responded to the correspondence on the difficulties in implementing controls to meet the

requirements of Condition 119 and the intent of seeking a modification to this condition. The corrective

action is often to verbally communicate with waste vehicle drivers the requirements of this condition

and to offer site induction and/or refreshers when this breech is observed.

3.1.4 Waste

A non conformance of Condition 10 of Notice of Modification (205-08-01 MOD 4) relating to an

exceedance of the 500,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) waste acceptance limit for the Terminal occurred

in this reporting period due to a number of external factors. These include non-Veolia facilities unable

to maintain their operations and diverting waste to the Terminal. The DPE was notified and a

modification application submitted to request temporary increase of the annual limit to 550,000 TPA.




3.2 Complaints Register If complaints are received, each complaint will be investigated and details will be recorded and

actioned through The Vault, which is part of Veolia’s National Integrated Management System for

logging incidents and managing governance. All complaints are recorded by the Site Manager in the

site Complaints Register.

There was 1 complaint received by Veolia in this reporting period, in the form of a correspondence

received from DPE regarding non conformance with Condition 119 of the Consent. Refer to section

3.1.3 for details.

The relevant Condition of Consent is Condition 10 in Schedule 3 which states:

“10. The Applicant shall ensure that no more than 500,000 tonnes per annum of waste is

received at the development in any calendar year.”

During 2015, there had been a number of external factors that resulted in greater than

expected volumes being received at the Terminal. While Veolia put some measures in

place to reduce the impact of these external factors, the accepted volumes into the

Terminal in 2015, has led to this application to temporarily increase the acceptance rate

at the Terminal for last year. The key external factors resulting in the need for this

temporary volume adjustment were as follows:

1. Closure of Artarmon Transfer Station

The Artarmon Transfer Station, operated by Suez was closed for repair for three months

of 2015, from 1 September 2015 to 16 November 2015. This facility is understood to be

capable of accepting approximately 3,500 tonnes per week. During this closure period,

approximately 1,250 tonnes per week of waste was diverted to the North Ryde Transfer

Station, also operated by Suez, however the remaining 2,250 tonnes of waste per week

that would typically go to Artarmon was being delivered to other putrescible facilities.

The majority of this waste was delivered to the Terminal, which resulted in higher than

expected volumes during this period. It is understood that there were also some

increase to the volumes at the Auburn and Chullora Transfer Stations operated by Suez

during this period.

2. Diversion of Waste from Camellia Resource Recovery and Treatment Facility

Sydney Waste Services, a Veolia client had been diverting approximately 200 – 300

tonnes per week of waste from the Camellia Resource Recovery and Treatment Facility

operated by Suez to the Terminal. This was reportedly due to operational issues at the

Camellia facility. .

3. Change of Ownership for Watts Waste (Remondis)

Since the change of ownership for Watts Waste to Remondis, waste was delivered to the

Terminal due to financial issues with previous waste contractors. In response to these

external factors, Veolia, where feasible, diverted our internal waste volumes from the

Terminal to other appropriately licensed facilities, to minimise the total volumes

received at the facility in the 2015 reporting period.

The Terminal operated throughout 2015 in accordance with the Conditions of

Development Consent and there were no complaints regarding the operation of the

Terminal during this time. Veolia met with Auburn Council on 26th August 2015 to

discuss the potential need for a modification application regarding a temporary increase

in the permissible waste acceptance rate at the Terminal for this reporting period.

Auburn Council advised that they have not had any issues or complaints regarding the

operation of the Terminal.

It should be noted that the Terminal has suitable capacity and management practices in

place to manage the temporary acceptance of additional waste volumes as requested.

CLYDE WASTE TRANSFER TERMINAL – ODOUR AUDIT XXVI 1

1 INTRODUCTION

The Odour Unit Pty Ltd (TOU) was commissioned by Veolia (Australia) Pty Ltd (Veolia), formerly Veolia Environmental Services (Australia) Pty Ltd, to undertake the twenty-sixth (XXVI) Odour Audit at the Clyde Transfer Terminal (the Site) on 25 November 2015. This Odour Audit visit was undertaken by a TOU Senior Engineer & Consultant, and is the sixteenth (16th) to be carried out since the commissioning of the new forced air extraction system within the transfer building. Odour Audit XXVI covers the 6-month period from 5 June 2015 to 25 November 2015.

The Odour Audit requirements of the Conditions of Consent – 48(f) are outlined below: 48. The Odour Management Plan must address, but is not necessarily limited to, the following issues: (f) An odour audit program which provides for a comprehensive odour audit of the premises and nearby commercial and residential areas, by an independent, appropriately qualified and experienced person, to be conducted 3-monthly for the initial 24 months of receiving un-containerised waste at the terminal, 3-monthly for the 12 months following commissioning the odour control system subject to MOD-133-11-2006, and 6-monthly thereafter, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director-General.

As with previous Audits, Odour Audit XXVI focused on issues relating to general housekeeping, fugitive odour emissions from the transfer building, ground level odour impacts, meteorological monitoring, complaints handling and actions on past Odour Audit recommendations. The audit approach included:

A general inspection and smoke testing of the transfer building;

Inspection of the container packing area and site access roads;

Inspection of the complaint register;

Review of the site meteorological data log and equipment maintenance/ calibration; and

An off-site downwind Field Ambient Odour Assessment (FAOA) survey.

At the time of this Odour Audit, it was clear skies with light to moderate wind speeds (1 m/s to 4 m/s) blowing from the east-northeast direction.




2 ODOUR AUDIT FINDINGS

2.1 ASSESSMENT OF GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING

2.1.1 Transfer Terminal Building

During the Odour Audit visit on 25 November 2015, there was approximately 250-350 tonnes of waste on the floor, according to the Site personnel. This tonnage is considered to be within the normal operational range of the Transfer Terminal Building (TTB). The TTB floor area not covered by waste material was observed to be reasonably clean, with little evidence of leachate or aged material. General housekeeping procedures of the TTB were good, as observed during several truck-unloading sequences. It was also observed that the Site’s front-end loaders cleared the floor area of waste on a regular basis, minimising the exposed area of waste.

As with previous audits, and consistent with TOU’s experience at other waste transfer stations, there was a weak to distinct level of odour observed within the TTB. A photo of the waste on the floor as found during the Odour Audit visit is shown in Photo 2.1.

Photo 2.1 – Waste on-floor as found on 25 November 2015

2.1.2 Container Packing Area and Site Roadways

The container packing area and site roadways were clean and well managed with no evidence of waste or exposed leachate, with the exception of one container (see Section 2.1.2.1). Similarly to previous Odour Audits, the container compacting/train packing area had a weak to distinct odour that was intermittently detectable but was




confined to this area only (see Appendix C for Field Ambient Odour Assessment Survey results). Both compactors were operating at the time of the Odour Audit visit. The general house-keeping around this area was observed to be of high quality, with no evidence to suggest otherwise. As with previous Odour Audits, the containers are cleaned off-site at Veolia’s Woodlawn Bioreactor Facility before being returned to the Site. The weight of each container is monitored to determine if there is any waste that has not been removed completely from each container, which in turn reduces the likelihood of the containers contributing to the Site’s odour levels.

As per the Odour Management Procedures at the Site, following the compaction of waste, all filled containers are completely sealed and remain so whilst at the Site. All containers used are required to be in good condition and unused/returned containers adequately clean. The maintenance of the containers is undertaken according to the procedures documented in the NSW Clyde Transfer Terminal Container Maintenance. This document addresses all key items including the design of the containers, maintenance and management of the activated carbon filter. Veolia provided a copy of this document as part of this Odour Audit.

2.1.2.1 Container Issues

During the Odour Audit visit, it was noted that a single container was leaking (Tank 167). The Site personnel was immediately advised of this issue by the auditor. The Odour Audit understands this matter has been actioned by Veolia.

2.1.3 Odour Extraction System Maintenance

Service documentation was provided and inspected for the maintenance of the odour extraction system (refer Appendix A). A service log was provided covering the period between 5 June 2015 and 25 November 2015.

Each service log provided showed that the required maintenance was taking place and the odour extraction system overall was operating well. The service logs during this period noted that all required maintenance works such as checking the fan belts and unit operations, greasing bearings, and other routine preventative maintenance were being adequately undertaken. It was noted that the fan belts have very minor cracks but this was not considered to be a major issue.

The service log indicated that an air speed of 19.5 m/s was being achieved at 45 Hz fan motor speed. This is a good result and indicates that the required stack velocity target is being met.

Overall, no significant issues with the fan extraction system was found in the Odour Audit.




2.1.4 Odour Management Procedures

The Odour Management Procedures (formerly known as the Odour Minimising Procedures) continue to be regularly reviewed at Tool Box meetings and new issues/recommendations are raised with all staff members at these meetings. The Odour Audit was advised that there has been no changes to the odour management procedures since the previous audit.


The Odour Audit inspected the fixed metal plates retrofitted along the TTB breezeways in December 2013. All metal plates were found to be intact and in good condition. Most doors and roller shutters of the TTB were found to be shut at the time of the Odour Audit, reducing the likelihood of odour impacts detected offsite. It was noted however that the roller shutter on the eastern side of the TTB was opened prior to the Odour Audit visit. It is understood that this is not normal practice. The Odour Audit will re-check this practice in the next audit.

The louvers on the end walls of the TTB were observed to be permanently shut.

2.1.6 Truck Entrance Plastic Strips

The truck entrance plastic strips of the TTB, used to reduce odour escaping through the opening, were found to be mostly missing (see Photo 2.2). The Site personnel did indicate that the missing strips will be replaced with a more robust as a priority matter.

Photo 2.2 – Truck entrance plastic strips as found on 25 November 2015

Truck entrance strips missing




The truck entrance trips continue to be an on-going maintenance issue (as found in recent audits) that is constantly being managed by Site personnel. It is understood that a modified system will be retrofitted to the existing structure in an attempt to prevent the strips from falling in the future. This will be reviewed in the next audit.

2.1.7 Smoke Testing

As per previous audits, smoke testing was carried out within the TTB to assist in determining the effectiveness of the forced air extraction system, as well as the extent to which the TTB has been sealed from leaks. Smoke was released from within the building from three (3) different points within the TTB. Figure 2.1 shows the three points where the smoke was released. These are identical locations to that of previous Odour Audits. Photo 2.3 shows smoke testing at one of the test locations on 25 November 2015 .

Photo 2.3 – Smoke testing within the TTB on 25 November 2051

2.1.7.1 Smoke Testing Results

Smoke Testing Point #1

As per the previous audit, smoke released at this point initially rose gradually moving towards the truck entrance before rising to the roof and moving slowly towards the extraction system, however, no visible smoke extraction at the overhead capture points were evident during the smoke testing. This may be related to near-complete absence of the truck entrance plastic strips (see Section 2.1.6). On this basis, they should be rectified as a matter of priority.


Smoke released at this point revealed a similar result to smoke testing point #1.

Smoke Testing Point #3 Smoke released at this point initially rose gradually moving towards the truck entrance before rising to the roof and moving slowly towards the extraction system. Visible smoke extraction at the overhead capture points was evident during the smoke testing at this point. Given the fact that no odour complaints have been received by the Site since March 2012 (as indicated in Section 2.2.1) and the good FAOA survey results (as indicated in Section 2.3.1), there is no evidence to suggest that the smoke testing results




observed in this Odour Audit pose any cause for concern regarding significant fugitive odour emission release from the TTB.

2.1.8 Stormwater Retention Pond

The auditor observed that there was no effluent in this pond at the time this Odour Audit was carried out. Moreover, there was no odour detectable during the Odour Audit visit that could be linked directly back to the stormwater retention pond.

2.2 ODOUR COMPLAINTS HANDLING AND METEOROLOGICAL DATA

2.2.1 Odour Complaints Handling

As advised by the Site Manager, there have been no complaints recorded in the site complaints register since March 2012.

2.2.2 Meteorological Data

The meteorological data provided to the Odour Audit for the period from 1 June 2015 to 25 November 2015 was inspected and found to be in good order. As found in previous Odour Audits, the observations were recorded in 15-minute intervals, and included all parameters necessary to develop a meteorological dataset for odour dispersion modelling.

As indicated in the regularly service documents by Hydrometric Consulting Services (HCS) supplied by Veolia to the Odour Audit, the weather station continues to remain located in an accessible area with the solar panel and components regularly cleaned, and installation sprayed regularly for insects and trimming of nearby vegetation as required to ensure no overgrowth immediately around the weather station pole. The weather data calibration and service reports by HCS are appended as Appendix B.

2.2.2.1 Weather station issues

The HCS reports covering the period between 5 June 2015 and 25 November 2015 recommended that the following items be undertaken in relation to the maintenance of the weather station:

Replacement of the mast, bearings, and solar radiation sensor; and

Re-orientation of the wind sensor.

These items will be followed-up in the next Odour Audit.




2.3 FIELD AMBIENT ODOUR ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

At present, no Australian Standard exists for field based ambient odour assessment surveys. Consequently, TOU utilises a method for assessing the ground level impacts of odour emissions using a modified version of the German Standard VDI 3940 (1993) – ‘Determination of Odorants in Ambient Air by Field Inspections’.

Field based ambient odour surveys are considered a valuable odour impact assessment tool as previous experience with ambient odour sampling and subsequent olfactometry testing suggests that accurate and useful ambient odour concentration data is difficult to obtain. Therefore, TOU has adopted a more practical approach based on the field measurement of odour intensity. With this method, calibrated and experienced odour specialists traverse the downwind surrounds of odour sources in a strategically mapped pattern, assessing the presence, character and intensity of any odours encountered and recording these observations along with wind speed and direction.

An ambient odour assessment was performed on 25 November 2015 between 1644 hrs and 1740 hrs. The FAOA survey was undertaken at strategic locations, both on-site and off-site. The ambient odour assessment focus was off-site, as required by the Conditions of Consent on “…..nearby commercial and residential areas…..” (Section 48 (f)). The TOU assessor firstly determined the wind direction using a Kestrel 4500 Pocket Weather Tracker Anemometer and then assessed downwind locations of the TTB.

The assessors spent a few minutes at each assessment location in order to gauge the effects of any odour impact. If an odour was detected at a location, the assessors attempted to characterise it. The general aim was to determine the extent of the impact of odours off-site and rank their intensity. The ranking scale for the German Standard VDI 3940 ‘Determination of Odorants in Ambient Air by Field Inspections’ was used for the intensity assessments. The standard’s ranking system is based on the following seven-point intensity scale, as shown in Table 2.1.




2.3.1 Field Ambient Odour Assessment - Results

The results from the FAOA survey conducted during the Odour Audit found that no odours were detected off-site that could be linked back to the Transfer Terminal Station and its on-site activities. The field log sheets and visual survey plot have been attached as Appendix C.

Table 2.1 - VDI 3882 Odour Intensity Categories

Odour Strength Intensity Rank (code)

TOU Interpretation (meaning)

Not detectable 0 No odour detected

Very weak 1 Odour detected but not strong enough to be characterised

Weak 2 Odour is weak but just able to be characterised

Distinct 3 Odour is clearly distinct and easily characterised

Strong 4 Strong odour detectable

Very Strong 5 If offensive, observer may consider moving from the area

Extremely Strong 6 Odour is sufficiently over-powering that assessor moves from area




3 RECOMMENDATIONS/FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS

3.1 PREVIOUS AUDIT ACTIONS

The following are the previous audit actions and subsequent responses:

Odour Audit Action #1: The missing truck entrance strips should be rectified in due course and regularly inspected by Site personnel

Response #1: Veolia will now be retrofitting a new system to rectify this issue (see Section 2.1.6). It will be reviewed in the next Odour Audit

Odour Audit Action #2: It is recommended that the stack velocity should be measured prior to the next audit.

Response #2: The stack velocity was measured on 9 September 2015 (see Section 2.1.3)

3.2 TRANSFER TERMINAL BUILDING

All metal plates were found to be intact and in good condition. Most doors and roller shutters of the TTB were found to be shut at the time of the Odour Audit, reducing the likelihood of odour impacts detected offsite. It was noted however that the roller shutter on the eastern side of the TTB was opened prior to the Odour Audit visit. It is understood that this is not normal practice. The louvers on the end walls of the TTB were observed to be permanently shut. Overall, the TTB was found to be well managed.

Based on the findings in this Odour Audit, the following action/s should be undertaken:

Odour Audit Action #1: The Odour Audit to re-check that: roller shutters and doors are being kept closed at all times; and the proposed new truck entrance strip system.

3.3 COMPACTOR AREA

The general house-keeping around this area was observed to be of high quality, with no evidence to suggest otherwise. As with previous Odour Audits, the container compacting/train packing area had a weak to distinct odour that was intermittently detectable but was found to be confined to this area only.


Odour Audit Action #2: The container issue identified during the Odour Audit visit is to be rectified (see Section 2.1.2.1).




3.4 ODOUR EXTRACTION SYSTEM

The service logs indicate that all required maintenance works on the odour extraction system since the last Odour Audit is being adequately undertaken and the system is operating as required.


No further action is required at this stage.

3.5 WEATHER STATION

The calibration and service reports from HCS indicate that all maintenance to the weather station and required calibrations were being carried out as required.


Odour Audit Action #3: HCS recommendations in relation to the maintenance of the weather station should be actioned (see Section 2.2.2.1)

3.6 FIELD AMBIENT ODOUR ASSESSMENT SURVEY

The results from the FAOA survey conducted during the Odour Audit found that no odours were detectable off-site that could be linked back to the Transfer Terminal Station and its on-site activities.

3.7 CONCLUDING REMARK

Overall, this Odour Audit found that the operation and maintenance of the odour management system at the Site was satisfactory. There was no evidence to suggest that significant fugitive odour emission release from the Site is occurring.

The next Odour Audit is due in July 2016.

1 INTRODUCTION

The Odour Unit Pty Ltd (TOU) was commissioned by Veolia (Australia) Pty Ltd (Veolia), formerly Veolia Environmental Services (Australia) Pty Ltd, to undertake the twenty-fifth (XXV) Odour Audit at the Clyde Transfer Terminal (the Site) on 29 May 2015. This Odour Audit visit was undertaken by a TOU Senior Engineer Consultant, and is the fifteenth (15th) to be carried out since the commissioning of the new forced air extraction system within the transfer building. Odour Audit XXV covers the 6-month period from 20 November 2014 to 4 June 2015.

The Odour Audit requirements of the Conditions of Consent – 48(f) are outlined below: 48. The Odour Management Plan must address, but is not necessarily limited to, the following issues: (f) An odour audit program which provides for a comprehensive odour audit of the premises and nearby commercial and residential areas, by an independent, appropriately qualified and experienced person, to be conducted 3-monthly for the initial 24 months of receiving un-containerised waste at the terminal, 3-monthly for the 12 months following commissioning the odour control system subject to MOD-133-11-2006, and 6-monthly thereafter, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Director-General.

As with previous Audits, Odour Audit XXV focused on issues relating to general housekeeping, fugitive odour emissions from the transfer building, ground level odour impacts, meteorological monitoring, complaints handling and actions on past Odour Audit recommendations. The audit approach included:

A general inspection and smoke testing of the transfer building;

Inspection of the container packing area and site access roads;

Inspection of the complaint register;

Review of the site meteorological data log and equipment maintenance/ calibration; and

An off-site downwind Field Ambient Odour Assessment (FAOA) survey.

At the time of this Odour Audit calm (< 1 m/s) wind conditions prevailed and no definite wind direction could be established by the assessor during the Odour Audit visit.

2 ODOUR AUDIT FINDINGS

2.1 ASSESSMENT OF GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING


During the Odour Audit visit on 29 May 2015, there was approximately 300-400 tonnes of waste on the floor, according to the Site personnel. A photo of the waste on the floor as found during the Odour Audit visit is shown in Photo 2.1. This tonnage is considered to be within the normal operational range of the Transfer Terminal Building (TTB). The TTB floor area not covered by waste material was observed to be reasonably clean, with little evidence of leachate or aged material. General housekeeping procedures of the TTB were good, as observed during several truck-unloading sequences. It was also observed that the site’s front-end loaders cleared the floor area of waste on a regular basis, minimising the exposed area of waste.

As with previous audits, and consistent with TOU’s experience at other waste transfer stations, there was a weak to distinct level of odour observed within the TTB.

Photo 2.1 – Waste on-floor as found on 29 May 2015

2.1.2 Container Packing Area and Site Roadways

The container packing area and site roadways were clean and well managed with no evidence of waste or exposed leachate. Similarly to previous Odour Audits, the container compacting/train packing area had a weak to distinct odour that was intermittently detectable but was confined to this area only (see Appendix C for Field



3

Ambient Odour Assessment Survey results). Both compactors were operating at the time of the Odour Audit visit. The general house-keeping around this area was observed to be of high quality, with no evidence to suggest otherwise. As with previous Odour Audits, the containers are cleaned off-site at Veolia’s Woodlawn Bioreactor Facility before being returned to the Site. The weight of each container is monitored to determine if there is any waste that has not been removed completely from each container, which in turn reduces the likelihood of the containers contributing to the Site’s odour levels.

As per the Odour Management Procedures at the Site, following the compaction of waste, all filled containers are completed sealed and remain so whilst at the Site. All containers used are required to be in good condition and unused/returned containers adequately clean. Provided this practice is sustained at the Site, the Odour Audit has determined that this area continues to remain a minor contributor to odour emissions from the Site.

2.1.3 Odour Extraction System Maintenance

Service documentation was provided and inspected for the maintenance of the odour extraction system (refer Appendix A). Service logs were provided for the period between 20 November 2014 and 4 June 2015. Each service log provided showed that the required maintenance was taking place and the odour extraction system overall was operating well. The service logs during this period noted that all required maintenance works such as checking the fan belts and unit operations, greasing bearings, and other routine preventative maintenance were being adequately undertaken. No significant issues with the fan extraction system was found.

2.1.4 Odour Management Procedures

The Odour Management Procedures (formerly known as the Odour Minimising Procedures) continue to be regularly reviewed at Tool Box meetings and new issues/recommendations are raised with all staff members at these meetings. The audit was advised that there has been no changes to the odour management procedures since the previous audit.


The Odour Audit inspected the fixed metal plates retrofitted along the TTB breezeways in December 2013. All metal plates were found to be intact and in good condition. All doors and roller shutters of the TTB were found to be shut at the time of the Odour Audit, reducing the likelihood of odour impacts detected offsite. Similarly, the louvers on the end walls of the TTB were observed to be permanently shut.



4

2.1.6 Truck Entrance Plastic Strips

The truck entrance strips of the TTB, used to reduce odour escaping through the opening, were found to have been replaced with a new strip installation since the last Odour Audit. The Odour Audit did observe however that several of the new strips were missing, as highlighted in Photo 2.2. The Site personnel did indicate that the missing strips will be rectified in due course.

Photo 2.2 – New truck entrance strip installation as found on 29 May 2015

The truck entrance trips continue to be an on-going maintenance issue (as found in previous audits) that is constantly being managed by Site personnel. This will be the status quo until a suitable engineering modification is found and implemented to prevent the entrance strips from falling.

2.1.7 Smoke Testing

As per previous audits, smoke testing was carried out within the TTB to assist in determining the effectiveness of the forced air extraction system, as well as the extent to which the TTB has been sealed from leaks. Smoke was released from within the building from three (3) different points within the TTB. Figure 2.1 shows the three points where the smoke was released. These are identical locations to that of previous Odour Audits. Photo 2.3 shows smoke testing at one of the test locations on 29 May 2015.

2.1.7.1 Smoke Testing Results


As per the previous audit, smoke released at this point initially rose gradually moving towards the truck entrance before rising to the roof and moving slowly towards the extraction system. Visible smoke extraction at the overhead capture points was evident during the smoke testing.





Given the fact that no odour complaints have been received by the Site since March 2012 (as will be indicated in Section 2.2.1) and the good FAOA survey results (as will be indicated in Section 2.3.1), there is no evidence to suggest that the smoke testing results observed in this Odour Audit pose any cause for concern regarding significant fugitive odour emission release from the TTB.

2.1.8 Stormwater Retention Pond

The auditor observed that there was no effluent in this pond at the time this Odour Audit was carried out (see Photo 2.4).

Photo 2.4 – Stormwater retention pond on 29 May 2015

There was no odour detectable during the Odour Audit visit that could be linked directly back to the stormwater retention pond.

2.2 ODOUR COMPLAINTS HANDLING AND METEOROLOGICAL DATA

2.2.1 Odour Complaints Handling

As advised by the Site Manager, there have been no complaints recorded in the site complaints register since March 2012.

2.2.2 Meteorological Data

The meteorological data provided to the Odour Audit for the period from 16 November 2014 and 31 May 2015 was inspected and found to be in good order. As found in previous Odour Audits, the observations were recorded in 15-minute intervals, and included all parameters necessary to develop a meteorological dataset for odour dispersion modelling.

As indicated in the regularly service documents by Hydrometric Consulting Services (HCS) supplied by Veolia to the Odour Audit, the weather station continues to remain located in an accessible area with the solar panel and components regularly cleaned, and installation sprayed regularly for insects and trimming of nearby vegetation as required to ensure no overgrowth immediately around the weather station pole.

2.2.2.1 Weather station sensor issues

As outlined in the previous audit, issues with the wind speed and direction sensor were identified in the service log reports by HCS. On 25 March 2015, these issues were rectified by the installation of a new wind speed and direction sensor by HCS. The sensor was tested for correct operation.

2.2.2.2 Weather station datalogger issues

The weather station datalogger failed on two events, including:

1. Event 1: 23/03/2015 to 25/03/2015 till 1145 hrs; and

2. Event 2: 28/03/2015 to 07/04/2015 till 0900 hrs.

It is understood from email correspondence to Veolia from HCS (see Appendix B) that the logger had approached its end of use life and likely being affected by ingress of moisture. This has resulted in the datalogger becoming unreliable, leading to the loss of data on the two aforementioned events. As such, the datalogger has now being replaced and in working order (as indicated by the supplied meteorological data).

The weather data calibration and service reports by HCS are appended as Appendix B.

2.3 FIELD AMBIENT ODOUR ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

At present, no Australian Standard exists for field based ambient odour assessment surveys. Consequently, TOU utilises a method for assessing the ground level impacts of odour emissions using a modified version of the German Standard VDI 3940 (1993) – ‘Determination of Odorants in Ambient Air by Field Inspections’.

Field based ambient odour surveys are considered a valuable odour impact assessment tool as previous experience with ambient odour sampling and subsequent olfactometry testing suggests that accurate and useful ambient odour concentration data is difficult to obtain. Therefore, TOU has adopted a more practical approach based on the field measurement of odour intensity. With this method, calibrated and experienced odour specialists traverse the downwind surrounds of odour sources in a strategically mapped pattern, assessing the presence, character and intensity of any odours encountered and recording these observations along with wind speed and direction.

An ambient odour assessment was performed on 29 May 2015 between 1603 hrs – 1720 hrs. The FAOA survey was undertaken at strategic locations, both on-site and off-site. The ambient odour assessment focus was off-site, as required by the Conditions of Consent on “…..nearby commercial and residential areas…..” (Section 48 (f)). The TOU assessor firstly determined the wind direction using a compass and then assessed downwind locations of the TTB.

The assessors spent a few minutes at each assessment location in order to gauge the effects of any odour impact. If an odour was detected at a location, the assessors attempted to characterise it. The general aim was to determine the extent of the impact of odours off-site and rank their intensity. The ranking scale for the German Standard VDI 3940 ‘Determination of Odorants in Ambient Air by Field Inspections’ was used for the intensity assessments. The standard’s ranking system is based on the following seven-point intensity scale, as shown in Table 2.1.



9

2.3.1 Field Ambient Odour Assessment - Results

The results from the FAOA survey conducted during the Odour Audit found that no odours were detected off-site that could be linked back to the Transfer Terminal Station and its on-site activities. The field log sheets and visual survey plot have been attached as Appendix C.

3 RECOMMENDATIONS/FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS

3.1 PREVIOUS AUDIT ACTIONS

The following is the previous audit actions and subsequent responses:

Odour Audit Action #1: The missing truck entrance strips should be rectified

in due course.

Response #1: The missing truck entrance strips were rectified as advised by

Site personnel.

Odour Audit Action #2: Follow-up with HCS suggestion to replace the

potentiometer and bearings in the wind direction sensor and the bearings in the

anemometer.

Response #2: As indicated in the calibration and service reports in this Odour

Audit, this replacement was carried out by HCS (see Appendix B).

3.2 TRANSFER TERMINAL BUILDING

All metal plates were found to be intact and in good condition. All doors and roller shutters of the TTB were found to be shut at the time of the Odour Audit, reducing the likelihood of odour impacts detected offsite. Similarly, the louvers on the end walls of the TTB were observed to be permanently shut. Overall, the TTB was found to be well managed.


Odour Audit Action #1: The missing truck entrance strips should be rectified in due course and regularly inspected by Site personnel.

3.3 COMPACTOR AREA

The general house-keeping around this area was observed to be of high quality, with no evidence to suggest otherwise. As with previous Odour Audits, the container compacting/train packing area had a weak to distinct odour that was intermittently detectable but was found to be confined to this area only.





11

3.4 ODOUR EXTRACTION SYSTEM

The service logs indicate that all required maintenance works on the odour extraction system since the last Odour Audit is being adequately undertaken and the system is operating as required.


Odour Audit Action #2: It is recommended that the stack velocity should be measured prior to the next audit.

3.5 WEATHER STATION

The calibration and service reports from HCS indicate that all maintenance to the weather station and required calibrations were being carried out as required.



3.6 FIELD AMBIENT ODOUR ASSESSMENT SURVEY

The results from the FAOA survey conducted during the Odour Audit found that no odours were detected off-site that could be linked back to the Transfer Terminal Station and its on-site activities.

3.7 CONCLUDING REMARK

Overall, this Odour Audit found that the operation and maintenance of the odour management system at the Site was satisfactory. There was no evidence to suggest that significant fugitive odour emission release from the Site is occurring.

The next Odour Audit is due in November 2015.

27 November 2014 Stephen Bernhart Environmental Monitoring Officer Veolia Environmental Services Re – Quarterly service of weather stations Dear Stephen, As per our service agreement, on the 26/11/14 HCS undertook the service, calibration and maintenance of the weather stations located at the Horsley Park and Clyde sites. Field readings were obtained by a combination of a Kestral 3500, compass, Monitor Solar Radiation field unit and HS TBRG calibration device. Details are as follows Horsley Park 26/11/14 Sensor Actual (field) Logger Temperature – 10m* 22.0 20.7 2m* 22.0 21.0 Relative Humidity* 54 56.8


* Note 1: field reading is not inside the radiation shield Note 2: ignore rainfall tips logged at approximately 0900 EST as these were testing. Note 3: the site was polled prior to the visit and was operating satisfactorily. Note 4: the solar radiation sensor was recording 0 watts per square metre when the actual reading was 400. It appears the sensor is faulty. Note 5: the start threshold of the wind speed anemometer appears to be a little high as it takes a wind speed of about 0.8 m/sec to start it spinning. Once spinning it appears to be accurate. It is recommended its performance be monitored with the view of replacing the bearings in the future.

Hi Stephen,

Re: the Clyde Data logger failure.

The logger failed on 2 occasions. The first time, data was lost from 23/03/15 1130 to 25/03/15 1145.

The second time data was lost from 28/3/15 1515 to 7/4/15 0900.

On both occasions the logger locked up and had to be power cycled to reboot.

This logger has been installed for approaching 10 years and it was decided after talking to Craig to replacethe logger with a new model CR800.

In the past the cabinet had been subjected to moisture ingress from humidity created from the adjacentdense vegetation on the fence. It is highly likely that this moisture has finally caused the logger to becomeunreliable.

The new logger will also provide a better platform for the SMS rainfall alarm transmission.

Regards,

Glen Murphy

Annual Truck Noise Measurements FINAL Clyde Transfer Terminal October 2015

1. Introduction The Clyde Transfer Terminal was issued with Conditions of Development Consent (Conditions) by the Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) formerly known as the Department of Planning, which are attached to the Development Consent. The Conditions include a requirement to assess heavy vehicle noise with limits specified in Australian Design Rule 28/01 (ADR 28/01). The requirements of Condition 112 are as follows: The Applicant shall implement a Heavy Vehicle Noise Monitoring Management Program for the development to the satisfaction of the Director-General. This program must: (a) monitor heavy vehicle noise on site, in accordance with the methods outlined in the “Truck Noise

Monitoring – Proposed Test and Management Plan” prepared by Heggies and dated 26 May 2008;

(b) be undertaken quarterly for a year starting in October 2008, and annually thereafter, unless otherwise

agreed by the Director-General;

(c) measure at least 25% of the heavy vehicles visiting the site;

(d) identify heavy vehicles exceeding the relevant noise criteria specified in the Australian Design Rule

28/01, or its successor, and ensure that the owners of these subsequently comply with the relevant

noise criteria;

(e) report the number of non-compliant heavy vehicles identified and the actions undertaken to address

these non-compliances in the Annual Environmental Monitoring Report; and

(f) be amended, should the monitoring activities not achieve the aim of the program to the satisfaction of

the Director-General.

This Annual Truck Noise Measurements report (the Report) presents the results of the tenth round of heavy vehicle noise monitoring at the Terminal. Monitoring was completed by the Veolia Technical and Engineering Team on the 5 August 2015 between 7:30am and 12:00 pm, in accordance with the Proposed Test Management Plan (PTMP) developed by Heggies. This is the sixth sampling event and report prepared by Veolia under Condition 112 since assuming the responsibility of monitoring from Heggies.

Noise Limit Criteria

2. Noise Limit Criteria The noise limit criteria for maximum allowable noise levels for Goods Vehicles described in the PTMP (2008) are provided in Table 1 below. Table 1: LAmax Noise Limits (dBA) – ADR 28/01

Vehicle Category

Code Vehicle Type

Vehicles In Motion Stationary Vehicles

Direct Injection & Spark Ignition Diesel Engines

Spark Ignition Engines Exhaust Outlet Height

Direct Injection Engines Exhaust Outlet Height

<1500mm ≤1500mm <1500mm ≤1500mm

NA

Light Goods Vehicles GVM ≤3.5t on road use

78 to 80 89 85 99 95

NB

Medium Goods Vehicles GVM >3.5t ≤12t on road use

81 to 84 95 91 101 97

NC

Heavy Goods Vehicles GVM >12t on road use

81 to 87 95 91 103 99

Note: For vehicles in motion test, LAmax noise limits are based on the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and the Nett Engine Power (NEP). The

noise limits in the table are expressed as a range where the lower noise level refers to the minimum GVM and NEP in each category and the

upper noise level refers to the maximum GVM and NEP in each category.

Waste collection trucks entering the Terminal are loaded vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) over 12 tonnes, based on tare weights of incoming vehicles on the site weighbridge. Hence, for the purpose of conducting a vehicle noise assessment at the Terminal, Vehicle Category Code “NC”, for heavy goods vehicles with a GVM of 12 tonnes or more on road, with a Net Engine Power (NEP) of greater than 150 kilowatts (kW) has been applied. The upper limit (87dBA) of the NC range provided in Table 1 will be used to assess truck noise measurements. This is consistent with the assessment criteria applied by Heggies in previous monitoring rounds.

Measurement Methodology


8

3. Measurement Methodology The monitoring location from which the truck noise was measured was consistent with previous monitoring rounds conducted by Veolia and Heggies. Measurements were taken at a distance of 7.5 metres from the centre of vehicle travel path and a height of 1.2 metres above the vehicle entrance ramp from the weighbridge to the Terminal building, which was the test site surface. Trucks accelerating at this location, which is shown in Appendix A, were measured where the vehicle was operating under full throttle in line with the microphone of the sound level meter. For further information regarding measurement location and methodology refer to the PTMP prepared by Heggies (Heggies, 2008). Measurements were taken with a Casella CEL 633SC Sound Level Meter, using an A-weighted (LA) filter network and fast response time constant as required under ADR 28/01. The (LA) filter ensured that the sound level meter was less sensitive to very high and very low frequencies which would be outside the range of noise emitted by the heavy vehicles entering and exiting the Terminal, while the fast response time constant enabled a more accurate reading of noise from each vehicle movement. Calibration of the Sound Level Meter was completed by Airmet Scientific prior to monitoring. The calibration certificate is included in Appendix B. For each truck movement a LA maximum noise level measurement was recorded. Additional information on each truck movement was noted (where possible) to assist in identification of trucks exceeding noise criteria, including:

Company; Vehicle Make and Type; Registration; and Exhaust Location.

The collected data was cross referenced with the Terminal’s weighbridge records for vehicles entering the facility on 5 August 2015, a copy of which is provided in Appendix C, to identify trucks measured during this sampling period and to calculate the percentage of trucks sampled.

Noise Measurement Results

4. Noise Measurements Results A total of 99 truck movements were recorded entering the Terminal and a measurement for each vehicle movement past the monitoring location was taken as the trucks accelerated on the entrance ramp. Ten (10) of these measurements were under impeded traffic conditions causing distorted noise emissions, caused by queuing of waste trucks waiting to enter the Terminal building during busy periods or idling of engines past the testing zone. Impeded traffic conditions affected the representative quality of the noise measurements. The measured sound levels of each pass-by event were recorded on field sheets, which have been tabulated in Appendix D. A total measurement of 34.14% of all truck movements (290) was achieved during this monitoring round, which satisfies the minimum requirements of Condition 112 (25% of daily truck movements). Figure 1 presents the distribution of recorded sound level frequencies which were measured in A-weighted decibels (dBA). Measurements of ‘normal’ truck acceleration ranged from 64dBA to 84dBA with the highest frequency occurring between 75dBA to 77dBA. Impaired acceleration readings due to the impeded traffic conditions ranged from 75dBA to 82dBA. Impaired acceleration readings were plotted separately from the normal accelerating vehicles on Figure 1.

5. Discussion Comparison of the heavy vehicle noise measurement results against the limits specified in ADR 28/01 (refer to Table 1) indicates that all trucks entering the Terminal in this monitoring round were within the acceptable noise criteria for the NC category vehicles (<87dBA). Driver behaviour also influenced noise measurements, with faster acceleration leading to higher noise recordings and less acceleration leading to lower noise recordings. Fourteen smaller waste vehicles (ranging from approximately 6 – 11 tonnes when loaded) were observed entering the facility during this monitoring event. For the purpose of this assessment it is considered that these vehicles would fall within the NB category with a noise limit of 84dBA. All noise emitted from vehicles assigned to this category was measured below this threshold as indicated in Table 2.

Table 2: NB class vehicle noise measurements

Noise from the Terminal’s operations such as plant noise (forklift, compactor, front end loader and road sweeper) and surrounding areas (Parramatta Road, train tracks) were not significant enough to influence waste truck noise measurements at this location. The noise wall located adjacent to the exit ramp, on the North-western boundary of the Terminal, also assisted in focussing noise measurements on truck movements into the facility by limiting interference noise sources.

Discussion


11

No noise complaints pertaining to the Terminal’s operations were received between the annual truck noise monitoring rounds. This indicates that noise impacts from waste truck movements at the Terminal boundary are within the Terminal and surrounding area background noise levels.

Conclusions

6. Conclusions

Truck noise monitoring was conducted on 5 August 2015 between 7:30am and 12:00am. The results indicated:

Noise from 99 truck movements was measured; A total of 34.14% of truck movements were measured, which satisfies the minimum 25% requirement of

Condition 112; All measured trucks were identified against weighbridge records to verify the accuracy of field data for

reporting. All truck noise measurements were within the noise criteria of ADR 28/01 and hence did not exceed the

trigger limits. Noise from the Terminal’s operations was not significant enough to influence the truck noise assessment. No noise complaints pertaining to the Terminal’s operations were received since the previous truck noise

monitoring round. Truck noise impacts at the Terminal boundary are considered to be within background levels.
