Environmental Impact and Mitigation<br />
Hazard and Risk<br />
The project involves the handling and transfer <strong>of</strong> hazardous liquids and gases and a Preliminary<br />
Hazard Analysis (PHA) was prepared in accordance with the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Planning</strong>’s Hazardous<br />
Industry <strong>Planning</strong> Advisory Paper <strong>No</strong>. 6, Guidelines for Hazard Analysis and Multi-Level Risk<br />
Assessment.<br />
The methodology used the Multi-Risk Assessment approach, published by the NSW <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Planning</strong> and included the following steps:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Hazard Analysis;<br />
Consequence analysis;<br />
Frequency analysis; and<br />
Risk Analysis and Review.<br />
The following hazards associated with BLB2 development and operations were identified during<br />
the hazard identification workshop held on 26 June 2007:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ship strikes the wharf at excessive speed;<br />
Moored ship is struck by passing ship;<br />
Chemical hose failure leading release <strong>of</strong> chemicals;<br />
Chemical pipeline failure leading to release <strong>of</strong> chemicals;<br />
Marine loading arm failure leading to flammable gas release;<br />
Liquefied Flammable Gas (LPG) pipeline failure leading to flammable gas release<br />
Marine loading arm failure leading to flammable liquid release;<br />
Flammable liquid pipeline failure leading to flammable liquid release; and<br />
Mooring systems fail leading to ship moving away from the wharf and breaking transfer<br />
connections.<br />
The risk analysis identified two main areas where risk impacts may occur:<br />
<br />
<br />
BLB2 Marine Loading Arm area on the wharf deck; and<br />
Pipeline isolating valve station located on the shoreline adjacent to the road.<br />
The cumulative risks for incidents at the MLA and pipeline isolating valve station were assessed.<br />
The risk impacts occur at the existing 50pmpy contour that currently surrounds the proposed BLB2<br />
