Clause 228 Factor Impacts Comments (l) Any pollution of the environment? (m) Any environmental problems associated with the disposal of waste? (n) Any increased demands on resources, natural or otherwise which are, or are likely to become in short supply? (o) Any cumulative environmental effect with other existing or likely future activities? (p) Any impact on coastal processes and coastal hazards, including those under projected climate change conditions? -ve short-term -ve short term nil -ve short-term +ve long-term nil During construction there is a risk of noise, water and air pollution. These risks will be minimised through the implementation of the proposed control measures. During construction, it is possible that spoil may be contaminated and an appropriate remediation plan and/or waste disposal method will be required. Construction materials are readily available and will be sourced from local contractors where possible. The project may have a short term cumulative impact on noise and traffic conditions if scheduled to coincide with construction of the Kingsgrove to Revesby Quadruplication. Overall this proposal, as part of the DTRS Project, will have significant benefits in providing a more effective communications systems for the RailCorp network. Once active, the new DTRS will provide a safer and more efficient rail network. The proposed works are not located on the coastline and have not been identified as within an area that will be subject to increased sea level rise. Key: -ve = Negative Impact, Nil = No Impact, +ve = Positive Impact EPBC Act 1999 Factors Matters of national environmental significance must also be considered as a requirement of the EPBC Act.
