4 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Overview Hanson Construction Materials Pty Ltd (Hanson) own and operate a hard rock quarry located at Bass Point, within the Shellharbour Local Government Area, 100km south of Sydney, NSW. The project involves the extraction of up to four million tonnes per annum of construction aggregates over a project life of 30 years. Aggregates extracted from the site would be processed at the site and then transported by road to local and regional customers in the Shellharbour local government area, as well as transported inter-regionally, predominantly to Wollongong and Sydney. Bass Point Quarry currently directly employees 71 staff. The Project is expected to procreate an additional 30 direct employment positions for subcontracted workers. The Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E), formally the Department of Planning and Infrastructure, granted approval for the project subject to a number of approval conditions (Ref 08_0143, January 28, 2014). Under Schedule 5, Condition 1 of the Project Approval, an Environmental Management Strategy (EMS) for the project must be prepared to provide an overview of environmental management at the site. 1.2 Scope This EMS addresses the requirements of the Project Approval under section 75J of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act Specifically, this strategy will; provide the strategic framework for the environmental management of the project; identify the statutory approvals that apply to the project; describe the role, responsibility, authority and accountability of all key personnel involved in the environmental management of the project; describe the procedures that would be implemented to: o keep the local community and relevant agencies informed about the operation and environmental performance of the project; o receive, handle, respond to, and record complaints; o resolve any disputes that may arise during the course of the project; o respond to any non-compliance; and o respond to emergencies; and include: o copies of any strategies, plans and programs approved under the conditions of this approval; and o a clear plan depicting all the monitoring required to be carried out under the conditions of this approval. 1.3 Project/Site Description Hanson proposes to extend its Bass Point hard rock quarry in a project known as the Bass Point Quarry Expansion (Figure 1). This involves the expansion of the quarry footprint and deepening of the extraction area, as well as the relocation and upgrade of the processing plant. The major 3
5 components of the project are summarised in Table 1, and are depicted in Figures 2 and 3. The project is described in full in Hanson s Environmental Assessment (EA) Project Summary The Project will involve; Extraction of up to 4 million tonnes per annum (mtpa); Relocation and replacement of existing plant and equipment; Installation of a new processing plant; Decommissioning of the existing processing plant; Minor upgrades to the current concrete plant; Construction of new office, workshop and amenities buildings; Construction of a new weighbridge; Deepening and widening of the extraction level and boundary; Processing raw quarried material; Loading and dispatch of maximum 4 mtpa quarry products; and Reconfiguration of the bund wall.
