2 Pollution Incident Response Plan Purpose & Scope This Pollution Incident Response Plan (PIRP) has been developed to describe Marmong Point Marina s response to a potential pollution incident and to meet the requirements of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act (POEO Act 1997) The PIRP covers the marina facility which has an Environmental Protection Licence No.(EPL)11161 and Dangerous Goods Licence No. 35/ The plan covers description of potential hazards, actions to be taken to prevent additional environmental harm and details of communication required in the event of an incident. 1. Process In the event of a pollution incident: Step 1: Emergency Response: Ensure personnel are safe. Step 2: Emergency Response: Contain the incident where possible. Step 3: Notify the Emergency Response Controller. Step 4: Emergency Response Controller and Marina Management to complete the notification required in section if the pollution incident meets the definition in section 2.1. The remainder of this document is set out to meet the requirements of the legislation. Each of the sections below is titled to match the Preparation of pollution incident response management plans document issued by the EPA. Marmong Point Marina PIRMP - REV 6 July 2017 Page 2

3 2.1 Definition of Pollution Incident A pollution incident means an incident or set of circumstances during or as a consequence of which there is or is likely to be a leak, spill or other escape or deposit of a substance, as a result of which pollution has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur. It includes an incident or set of circumstances in which a substance has been placed or disposed of on premises, but it does not include an incident or set of circumstances involving only the emission of any noise. A pollution incident is required to be notified if there is a risk of material harm to the environment, which is defined in section 147 of the POEO Act as: harm to the environment is material if: it involves actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to ecosystems that is not trivial, or it results in actual or potential loss or property damage of an amount, or amounts in aggregate, exceeding $10,000 (or such other amount as is prescribed by the regulations), and loss includes the reasonable costs and expenses that would be incurred in taking all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent, mitigate or make good harm to the environment. 2. Description and Likelihood of hazards Potential pollution incidents identified include: Air Pollution Incident: Escape of significant dust or smoke to atmosphere. Water pollution incident: Escape of significant fuel from fuel operations or effluent from Pumpout off site to a watercourse. Noise Pollution Incident: Noise pollution from yard operations and vessel movements. Land Pollution Incident: Escape of significant leachate or fuel off site to land. The sites covered by this plan were assessed in individual risk assessments. The controlled nature and permitted operation under the licence at the sites includes storage of fuel (PULP and Diesel) in reportable quantities. No other chemicals are stored in reportable quantities. This currently presents low risk. Possible risks are tabulated below.

4 3. Pre-emptive actions to be taken The most likely form of pollution incident would result from a fire, or fuel or effluent leakage from the site. All storm water runoff is directed to the relevant water treatment devices for the site. These include bio swales at the foreshore carpark and foreshore. The marina has First flush systems and separators around the marina yard. These control any run off and are regularly checked and serviced. All drains are checked monthly. All fuelling of vessels, plant and equipment is carried out on site in accordance with the relevant work method statement. The fuel system operates in accordance with the Protection of the Environment Operations (Underground Petroleum Storage Systems) Regulation The Fuel Management Plan is available at the marina office. 4. Inventory of Pollutants The only significant source of reportable Dangerous Chemicals on site is the fuel stored in underground tanks on the foreshore. The underground tanks commissioned in 2008 hold 11,000 litres of diesel and 9,000 litres of PULP. A small amount of LPG is stored near the admin building (not a reportable quantity). The Chandlery and workshops do store some chemicals. These are itemized in the Hazmat Register which is located on the fence line at the main car park. 5. Safety Equipment Spill kits and containment materials are available at various strategic points around the site. Emergency response and fire equipment is readily available and training in emergency response and fire incidents is carried out at least annually. Plant and equipment are available to create additional bunding in the event of any significant spill using materials available on site. Any material used for bunding will be assessed in accordance with the Waste Classification Guideline for appropriate disposal. Potential air pollutants are controlled by the rules and regulations in the marina Slipping Agreement. There is screening on the fence line to assist with dust control. 6. Contact Details Personnel responsible for the sites The following table outlines the personnel responsible for the site. Title Name Contact number Managing Director Les Binkin or Yard Supervisor Chris Davidson or Marina Manager Symantha Suprain Admin Office Varies Marmong Point Marina PIRMP - REV 6 July 2017 Page 4

5 The site is manned with a supervisor from 8.00am 5.00pm daily (except Xmas Day). Out of hours contact is Les Binkin or Symantha Suprain. 7. Notification of external parties The following table outlines the contact details and correct sequence for notification in the event of a notifiable pollution incident. The Incident Controller will notify Management of the event who will carry out the notifications required by the table below. Emergency Services (if dealing with an emergency) Police Fire Ambulance 000 EPA Environment Line Ministry of Health Public Health Unit, Hunter New England Health, Newcastle Office Ph: (diverts to John Hunter Hospital after hours) - ask for Public Health Officer on call WorkCover Lake Macquarie City Customer Service Section Council Fire and Rescue (to be notified of an incident that is not an emergency) 000 NOTE: Phone numbers are current as at the date of this document. 8. Communicating with neighbours and local community The marina has signage at the main gates indicating the contact details for community feedback. In the event of a notifiable incident neighbouring properties will be door knocked to be advised of the situation. 9. Minimising harm to persons on the premises Refer to the emergency response plan for the site. At all times minimising harm to persons shall be a priority. 10. Training, Testing and Review. There is a very low risk of a pollution incident occurring. MPM will review the PIRMP after 12 months and create a new version at 24months. Testing the plan will be carried out at the time of review. The Site staff are trained in Emergency Response and Fire Response at least annually. Staff will be trained in the PIRMP and records maintained in the corporate training system. A copy of this plan will be available for viewing at the Marina Admin Building. Marmong Point Marina PIRMP - REV 6 July 2017 Page 5
