3 1. General Information 1.1 Foreword The purpose of this document is to summarize important background information and elements of the Medway Mine s Pollution Incident Response Management Plan for regulators, community, and other interested external parties. It demonstrates compliance with the new requirements introduced by the Protection of the Environment Legislation Amendment Act 2011 (POELA Act) to prepare and implement a pollution incident response management plan. The Medway Mine (also referred to as Berrima Colliery) is currently operated by Delta Mining. The mine went into Care and Maintenance in November 2013, and transitioned into the Closure phase in July The Mine has been non-operational since that time and hence the risk of any Pollution Incident has been greatly reduced. The Colliery still operates in accordance with a Mine Safety Management System prepared in accordance with the Coal Mines Health and Safety Act A component of this System is a Pollution Incident Response Management Plan (PIRMP). The PIRMP is kept, tested and implemented in accordance with the Act and the POEO(G) Regulation. When the mine transitions into full closure, a separate contractor will be employed to demolish the remaining buildings and surface infrastructure. The contractor will nominate a site manager reporting to the Boral Representative who will be responsible for implementing this PIRMP. 1.2 Background and legislative requirements The POELA Act introduces several changes to improve the way pollution incidents are reported, managed and communicated to the general community. The Act includes a new requirement under Part 5.7A of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act) to prepare, keep, test and implement a pollution incident response management plan. The objectives of these plans are to: ensure comprehensive and timely communication about a pollution incident to staff at the premises, the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), other relevant authorities specified in the Act (such as local councils, NSW Ministry of Health, WorkCover NSW, and Fire and Rescue NSW and people outside the facility who may be affected by the impacts of the pollution incident minimise and control the risk of a pollution incident at the facility by requiring identification of risks and the development of planned actions to minimise and manage those risks ensure that the plan is properly implemented by trained staff, identifying persons responsible for implementing it, and ensuring that the plan is regularly tested for accuracy, currency and suitability. The specific requirements for pollution incident response management plans are set out in Part 5.7A of the POEO Act and the Protection of the Environment Operations (General) Regulation 2009 (POEO(G) Regulation) 1. 1 See Pollution Incident Response Management Plan Medway Mine Page 3 of 6
4 1.3 Definition of a pollution incident 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 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: (a) harm to the environment is material if: (i) it involves actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to ecosystems that is not trivial, or (ii) 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 (b) 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. Industry is now required to report pollution incidents immediately to the EPA, NSW Health, Fire and Rescue NSW, WorkCover NSW and the local council. Immediately has its ordinary dictionary meaning of promptly and without delay. These strengthened provisions will ensure that pollution incidents are reported directly to the relevant response agencies so they will have direct access to the information they need to manage and deal with the incident in a faster time. There are new associated offences, for individuals and corporations, for not preparing a plan, not keeping the plan at the premises to which it relates, not testing the plan in accordance with the Regulations and not implementing the plan in the case of an incident. The potential, albeit not necessarily likely, pollution incidents at Berrima Colliery include: On-site spills or leaks of fuel, oil or hydraulic fluid that cause or threaten environmental harm, property damage or personal injury Bushfire near or around the site which threatens the safety of the workforce or nearby residents Truck spills on public roads within or near the site premises which may cause fuel, lubricants or other products to enter the site or threaten to enter water ways The only Hazardous Substances or Dangerous Goods stored on site at Berrima Colliery is diesel which is stored in two above ground storage tanks. The first is a 5,000 L tank located near the truck loading bin while the second is located adjacent to the equipment storage shed. There are other materials that are stored or delivered to the site can cause harm if they leave the site and enter the Wingecarribee River or associated tributaries. These include 20 L and 105 L drums of oils and hydraulic fluids which are stored in the main storage shed along with minor workshop supplies. The main hazard though is considered fire, either generated on site or progressed to the site from the surrounding area. The Pollution Incident Response Management Plan (PIRMP) provides information from previous risk assessments covering events and activities which may cause pollution incidents involving material harm. These assessments have described: Existing controls to prevent pollution incidents Incident response actions to mitigate potential incidents Immediate reporting of pollution incidents to relevant statutory authorities Pollution Incident Response Management Plan Medway Mine Page 4 of 6
5 Maintaining communications with Appropriate Regulatory Authorities during incident response Reporting of incidents to stakeholders including local communities Site specific roles and responsibilities in incident response and reporting. 2. Emergency Response Procedures The PIRMP for the mine outlines specific procedures in the event of an emergency, pollution incident, bushfire or other incident that may involve material harm to the environment. It is considered that the main risk to the site and nearby residential area is bushfire however other potential incidents have been considered. The PIRMP also provide notification procedures as required by the POEO Act and the (POEO(G) Regulation). These include: Compulsory Notifications covering the EPA, NSW Fire, Police and Ambulance, WorkCover, Sydney South West Public Health Unit and Council. Other Agencies as relevant including Sydney Catchment Authority, Mines Rescue, Bushfire Control Office, Roads and Maritime Services, NSW Office of Water, Poisons Information Centre and utilities. In case of pollution incidents or bushfire that may potentially pose a threat to health or safety of the neighbours the nearby residents will be notified. A contact list is maintained by the mine but notifications will also be made by door knocking as necessary. Berrima Colliery maintains several operating plans and procedures in accordance with a Mine Safety Management System prepared in accordance with the Coal Mines Health and Safety Act These are updated from time to time as required which includes the procedures under the PIRMP. In addition to notification procedures, the management plans for the mine cover: Evacuation Plan for both surface and underground Power Isolation procedures Emergency equipment Maintenance of pollution control systems Emergency Preparedness Management Register of dangerous goods and MSDS Employee Training External audit and review. 3. Safety Equipment Safety equipment is listed in the Mine Safety Management System which includes a description of the equipment, location, testing information and details of training undertaken. This includes underground safety equipment, medical equipment, spill control and containment, transport and communications. 4. Spill Prevention and Control The surface facilities of Berrima Colliery operates as a nil discharge site. The site surface water management system includes large pollution control dams as well as internal automatic pumping systems. Surface fire fighting systems operate on a secure water supply system from the underground mine and permanent surface water storage tanks. Pollution Incident Response Management Plan Medway Mine Page 5 of 6
6 All fuel and oil storages are fully bunded and roofed to avoid contamination with rainwater. In the event of a pollution incident which involved breach or damage to the primary bunding system, all fluids would be contained on site. In the event of fire, excess fire fighting water would also be contained within the existing pollution control system. The risk of off site pollution event is considered low however procedures are in place for cleanup and notifications should such an event occur. 5. Testing and implementation The site/operations manager or their delegate ensures that emergency systems are maintained and that their effectiveness is evaluated at least once a year. 6. Pollution Incident Notification Procedures 6.1 Notification of relevant authorities Any pollution incident that causes or threatens material harm to the environment or people will be notified to government authorities immediately upon becoming aware of the incident. When new information comes to hand following the initial notification, this information must also be communicated immediately. Only nominated Delta Mining and Boral personnel are authorised to make these notifications: Mine Manager, Environmental Officer, Site OHS Manager and Boral National Operations Environment Manager. 6.2 Communicating with neighbours and local community In case of pollution incidents that may potentially pose threat to the health and safety of the neighbours the neighbours will be urgently notified. For this reason the emergency procedures listed in the PIRMP include instructions on when and how to communicate pollution events with the local community. The Environmental Officer will undertake the early warning of the neighbourhood in the first instance by phone. The initial notification will be brief and contain only a description of the environmental threat together with instructions what to do. For example: Due to a fire on site or bushfire nearby, we are experiencing elevated dust emissions from the site. Please keep your doors and windows closed until further notice. An accidental discharge occurred from the site. There maybe emergency vehicles using the Medway Road. Due to a diesel spillage onto a street from the site, a cleanup operation is being organised. Please be watchful for road closures in relation to this operation. Follow up information on the resolution of emergency situation would be timely conducted also on the phone. If required, further information would be disseminated by means of leaflets in a letterbox drop. In case of a bushfire, smoke, and explosions the site personnel will work together with fire brigade, police and SES to alert potentially affected neighbours and if necessary arrange evacuation.
