Assessment <strong>of</strong> the environmental impacts and risksIssueAir qualityControl measuresbe undertaken in impervious bunded areas. This may involveusing temporary impervious bunded areas.Machinery would be checked daily to ensure there is no oil,fuel or other liquids leaking from the machineryExcess concrete would be scraped <strong>of</strong>f equipment beforebeing washed. All remaining concrete residue would becollected and disposed <strong>of</strong> to a licensed landfillVehicle wash downs and/or concrete truck washouts would beundertaken within a designated bunded area <strong>of</strong> an impervioussurface or undertaken <strong>of</strong>f-siteAn incident emergency spill plan would be developed andincorporated into the CEMP. The plan would includemeasures to avoid spillages <strong>of</strong> fuels, chemicals, and fluidsonto any surfaces or into any adjacent/nearby waterways andan emergency response plan. An emergency spill kit would bekept onsite at all times.Should a spill occur during construction, the emergencyresponse plan would be implemented, and the RailCorpenvironmental <strong>of</strong>ficer contacted. The Office <strong>of</strong> Environmentand Heritage would also be notified if the impacts <strong>of</strong> the spillare considered to result in material harm to the environment(as per Part 5.7 <strong>of</strong> the POEO Act).RailCorp would investigate the feasibility <strong>of</strong> connecting theoil/water separator which forms part <strong>of</strong> the proposal duringconstruction to assist in minimising the impacts <strong>of</strong> spills duringconstruction.All equipment would be roadworthy, regularly maintained andinspected daily.Equipment used and all facilities erected would be designedand operated to control the emission <strong>of</strong> smoke, dust, fumesand other pollution into the atmosphere.Excavation equipment and procedures would be selected tominimise dust generation, where practicable.A water cart or fixed hoses would be used to dampen exposedsurfaces to minimise dust generation.Shade cloth would be fastened to the perimeter fence on theconstruction compound to minimise dust transported from thesite during construction.Working areas would be stabilised as soon as practical toprevent or minimise windblown dust.Handling areas would be maintained in a condition that<strong>Warrawee</strong> <strong>Substation</strong> Project/<strong>Review</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Factors</strong>Page 55 <strong>of</strong> 64
