Public Information Booklet Activity Description Fuel and chemical storage During construction a fuel and chemical storage area will be required. Where practicable these facilities will be retained for operations. Water supply During construction a water supply will be required both for potable and construction water. Depending on the quality required there are several sources of potential water supply, in order of preference, including surface aquifers, the confined Wallal aquifer and desalination of ocean water if these are not viable. Where practicable these facilities will also be used for operations. Waste water treatment A waste water treatment plant and associated outfalls will need to be developed for both the LNG facilities within the LNG Precinct and the operations and construction camp. Question ñ How many storage tanks will be built and how tall will they be? It is expected for the recinct that there will be up to that there will be up to 8-12 LNG Tanks and up to eight condensate tanks. This is for the maximum development in the Precinct of up to 50 million tonnes per annum. For the foundation proponentís initial development (three trains) there will be two to three LNG tanks and two condensate tanks. The height of LNG Tanks will be about 35-45 metres (115 to 150 feet). Heritage Protection Question - What are the clauses in legislation that give protection to heritage sites? Aboriginal heritage sites are protected under various parts of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) and the Commonwealth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984. If sites are national heritage listed or nominated to be listed, they can also be protected under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. In relation to plants and animals that are important to Traditional Owners, the KLC are undertaking what is called an ethnobiology survey. This will record information about the importance of plants and animals in and around James Price Point from Traditional Ownersí perspective rather than from a western scientific perspective. In addition, there will be an opportunity to record plants and animals of importance during heritage surveys undertaken for the Precinct. Once the ethnobiology and heritage surveys have been completed we can look at including the management measures identified in environmental and cultural heritage management plans as included in the Heads of Agreement. 5279225 79
Public Information Booklet Pearling Impacts A Fishing, Pearling and Aquaculture Impact Study Report is almost complete and will soon be made available to Traditional Owners. The report will ensure impacts on the pearling industry have been considered to allow the best possible management plans to be established. Wind/Weather Study Question - Will there be a wind study? The Australian Government has a number of meteorological stations throughout the Kimberley region, including one at Broome. Weather data has been obtained from these sources and will be utilised in the design of the plant and associated infrastructure. This will include a wind study. There is no historic meteorological data available at the James Price Point location and as a result a temporary meteorological tower will be built at the site for the purpose of collecting data over a 12 month period (minimum). Pipe Gas to Karratha Question - Why canít you pipe the gas to the Burrup? The gas could be piped to the Burrup and this option has been looked at in detail by the Browse Joint Venture. The Browse Joint Venture is considering locations for processing Browse Basin gas at either the Browse LNG Precinct or at Woodside operated facilities in Karratha and has not made a decision on the location. The State Government has a strong preference that the Browse gas go to the Kimberley. A Kimberley plant would be much closer to the Browse fields and to other gas in the Browse Basin. A Kimberley development would bring significant jobs and benefits to the region. The Burrup infrastructure will be needed for gas from fields much closer to the Burrup. Woodside also prefers that Browse gas go to the Kimberley although the Browse Joint Venture has yet to make a decision. A Kimberley development would produce the gas earlier and more efficiently and therefore bring more benefits to everyone involved. Broome Port Requirements Question - Is Woodside looking at Broome Port? Is Woodside looking at building a jetty at Broome Port? Woodside recently signed what is called an option agreement with the Broome Port Authority over 15 hectares of land at the port. Within three years of signing the option agreement, Woodside has to make a decision as to whether it will formally lease the land at Broome Port to support the development of the Browse gas fields. The Broome Port Authority is currently looking at building a second wharf at Broome Port to meet the growing needs of the users of the port, including the broader oil and gas industry. If the port proceeds with its second wharf, this will be for all users not just Woodside. 5279225 80
