In addition to this, a program level Environmental Risk Assessment is maintained and an environmental incident risk assessment for the Bargo/Buxton project has been conducted. The top environmental incident risks from the Bargo/Buxton Environmental Incident Risk Assessment are: Unapproved direct and indirect impacts on native Flora and Fauna habitats (direct physical damage or damage resulting from water pollution). Unapproved direct impacts on items of Indigenous Heritage value Air pollution from dust / exhaust Pollution of waters from - Erosion and transportation of sediment - frac-out - pump-out from excavations Waste dumping - illegal waste disposal Relevant hazard and risk assessments including identification of controls for the project are listed in the following table.

4 Incident Response Training Asbestos Training 2.0 Potential Pollutants The Project register for Hazardous Substances is located here S:\PSP Alliance\E. Program & Schemes Records\19 Bargo, Buxton\08 Safety\09 Hazardous Substances Only small quantities of hazardous substances are stored and used. The main types being: unleaded petrol (typically 100L); epoxy based coatings, resins, hardeners and adhesives (small quantities); cleaners (small quantities); and solvent cements (small quantities). All substances are stored and used in accordance with legislative requirements and standards. 3.0 Equipment and Infrastructure Equipment and infrastructure to minimise the risk to human health and the environment and to contain or control the impacts of a pollution incident are identified in the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP), Safety Management Plan and Environmental Work Method Statements (EWMS). Equipment and infrastructure includes: spill kits; chemical bunds; dangerous goods cabinets; waste storage facilities (bins and skips); and erosion and sediment control equipment (silt fence, turf, jute, gravel socks).

5 4.0 Notification Actions POLLUTION INCIDENT - An unplanned event that has, or has the potential to, result in damage to the environment. Eg Uncontained frac-out, fuel / oil spill, fire, contaminated material find (waste, asbestos), muddy water discharge, pump-out to creek or stormwater, dust, sewage spill. PREPARATION / PLANNING Establish site in accordance with Environmental Work Method Statement. Ensure access to spill kit. Ensure sufficient supply of gravel bags to contain frac-out. ACTIONS FOR FIRST ON SITE AND SUPERVISOR ACTION RESPONSIBILITY 1. Stop work activity causing pollution / contamination First on site 2. Check for danger and ensure safety of workers and public First on site 3. Notify Supervisor or Superintendent immediately First on site 4. Notify the Superintendent and Environment Team (SEC or SEO) immediately 5. If possible, contain the pollution using spill kit, gravel bags, sand etc. First on site / Supervisor First on site / Supervisor PHONE NUMBERS Construction Superintendent Danny Tamburini Environment Manager (EM) Gareth Thomas Scheme Environmental Coordinator (SEC) Kelvin Ritchie Scheme Environmental Coordinator (SEO) Chris Williams UGL Environmental Management Rep (EMR) - Candice Rouer UGL EMR (Alternate) Hugh Chapman Alliance Project Manager Steve Gasson PSP Project Manager David Washington Project Engineer/Manager (Transfer Main) Paul Desantis Community Relations Manager Sarah Louise-Artery Senior Community Relations Officer Jade Heng Sydney Water Project Officer John Nunes Sydney Water Project Delivery Officer Level 1 Bert Marrone Sydney Water Project Delivery Officer Level 1- Karu Karunahararaj

7 CONTACT INFORMATION OF RELEVANT ORGANISTIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL TEAM AND PROJECT MANAGER Organisation Initial report Contact number Follow up EPA Verbal to environment line to; and Ministry of Health Verbal to Manager / duty WH or to; officer AH waterqual@doh.health.nsw.gov.au NSW Fire and Rescue Emergency (response required) Non Emergency Workcover Verbal by phone Local Council: Verbal by phone council@wollondilly.nsw.gov.au Wollondilly Shire Council Sydney Catchment Authority (SCA) Verbal by Phone info@sca.nsw.gov.au WIRES - NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Inc Verbal by Phone info@wires.org.au Where an incident occurs that causes or has the potential to cause material harm to the environment (Class 1 or Class 2 Incidents), the recent changes to the POEO Act require you to notify 5 Agencies. Where any notifications are purely just to comply with the Act, ensure that this is made clear to the Agencies being notified (eg your attendance is not required, Sydney Water has the situation under control and if the event escalates we will contact you for assistance ). This is particularly relevant to NSW Fire and Rescue as when a call is made to 000 the nearest Fire and Rescue Team will be sent out. If it is a non emergency use the 1300 number. The incident is then to be recorded in SWIRL (the Sydney Water Incident Recording System). 5.0 Neighbours Details of all residents and stakeholders affected by the project are located here S:\PSP Alliance\E.

8 6.0 Control Actions Control actions to minimise or avoid the hazards posed to human health and the environment are identified in the Project Incident Response Plan and Construction Environmental Management Plan. These actions include: community notification and consultation; establishment of environmental controls at commencement of work (exclusion fencing, erosion and sediment controls, tree protection, monitoring and inspection program); correct storage and use of all potential pollutants (sediment, petrol, waste, other chemicals); establishment of spill control equipment at each work-site; traffic control; and prompt restoration of disturbed areas on completion of work. 7.0 Map of the Premises and Surrounding Areas Maps of the premises and surrounding areas are contained in the Project Incident Response Plan and the Construction Environmental Management Plan (and are reproduced on the following pages). The Community Relations Team will inform any affected owners or residents in surrounding areas as required. 8.0 Training Training records and needs identification details are located here S:\PSP Alliance\E. Program & Schemes Records\00 Program\08 Health & Safety\12 Training - Induction - Plant Registers Environmental incident response training is provided though inductions, toolboxes and pre-start meetings. All staff are required to be inducted prior to starting work. Pre-start meeting are held at the commencement of work each day and include information relating to specific environmental issues. 9.0 Testing and Maintenance This plan will be tested: At least every 12 months; and Within one month of a Class 1 or Class 2 incident occurring. Testing will be by assessing and reviewing the plan and making any necessary changes.
