• general litter including glass, plastic, metal and paper waste.
No operational impacts are expected.
Possible Control Measures
A waste management plan will be prepared as part of CEMP to detail waste types and
quantities as well as methods for segregation, handling, storing and disposal. Furthermore,
waste impacts will be minimised through a range of control measures, (consistent with the
WARR Act) which may include, but not be limited to, those outlined below.
• All waste will be classified in accordance with the Waste Classification Guidelines (DECCW
2009) and transported to a place that can lawfully accept the waste.
• Any material that may be classified as a hazardous waste will be dealt appropriately and in
accordance with RailCorp procedures.
• Packaging will be minimised, where possible and where the safety and delivery of services
is not compromised.
• Wherever possible, suitable excavated spoil will be reused on site for backfilling,
landscaping and other purposes.
• Any spoil or waste material tracked onto roads will be swept up immediately.
• Adequate numbers of bins and waste containers will be placed at the site. The site manager
will ensure bins are not overflowing and are appropriately covered.
• All waste will be removed from the site when work is completed.

Existing Situation

• a visual inspection for signs of potential land contamination;
• a search of NSW register of contaminated sites;
• a search of RailCorp records; and
• a review of all materials to be used at the site to establish their potential for land
contamination.
The initial investigation did not find any signs of potential land contamination, other than those
typically associated with rail corridors. There are no visible and/or obvious signs of
