3 1. Pollution Incident Response management plan 1.1 Overview The pollution Incident Response Management Plan has been written to comply with the legislative requirements under the Protection of Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act) and the Protection of the Environment Operations (General) Regulation Under the legislation referred to above, the EPL also requires a PIRMP to clearly document pollution risks, communication procedures to authorities and community regarding pollution incident involving material harm or threatened material harm to human health or the environment, the PIRMP will be implemented. Lein Earthmoving has an environmental management plan to ensure operations and activities that have the potential to impact on the environment are managed in an environmentally responsible manner refer Lein MP04. The PIRMP contains the following sections as required by the regulation: 1.2 Introduction 1. Background describes main features of the regulation 2. Hazard, likelihood and pre-emptive actions to prevent pollution incident risks describes types of pollution incidents that may be possible and lists procedures that are already in place to minimise and manage pollution. Ranking of risks is included in appendices 3. Maps map of project to show location of potentially affected neighbours and environmentally sensitive areas 4. Emergency incident response procedures what to do in case of material harm 5. Early warnings and communication to neighbours when to contact neighbours in case of pollution incidents and info required for website 6. Training information to be passed on to staff and contractors 7. Updating of plan frequency of updates 8. Testing frequency of drills to test effectiveness of PIRMP 9. Implementing of plan reference to legislation requirement to carry out aspects of the plan during a pollution incident The Pinebrook Gravel Quarry is covered by an Environment Protection License (EPL) number for the scheduled activities extraction. The site has an overarching environmental management system supported by the Lein Earthmoving Work Health and Safety Policies.

5 1.3 Abbreviations PIRMP = Pollution Incident Response Management Plan EPL = Environmental Protection Licence POEO = Protection of the Environment Operations Act Purpose The purpose of this PIRMP is to improve the way pollution incidents are reported, managed and communicated to the general community. The purpose of this PIRMP is to: Ensure the comprehensive and timely communication about a pollution incident to staff at the premises, the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), other relevant authorities specified Act (such as local councils, NSW Ministry of Health, Work Cover 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 Minimise and manage those risks Ensure that it is properly implemented by the trained staff, identifying persons responsible for implementing it and; Ensuring that the PIRMP is regularly tested for accuracy, currency and sustainability. 1.5 Scope This PIRMP is used by employees and Lein Earthmoving contractors involved in works carried out at Pinebrook Gravel Quarry. This PIRMP identifies ways to handle flooding & hazardous chemical spillages i.e. fuel and oil. The PIRMP plans to prevent material harm to human health and/or the environment. The Pinebrook Gravel Quarry site is located at Lot 82, DP, Jacks Creek NSW LEIN MP03 Pollution Incident Response Management Plan 16 th July 2016 Page 5 of 9

6 Environmental Management at the site is subject to improvements in the processes and practises from time to time. To accommodate these ongoing changes and also to accommodate increases in site specific environmental assessment and management, the PIRMP will be progressively reviewed. This PIRMP is to clearly define the requirements of Lein Earthmoving staff to report and respond to pollution incidents in accordance with the 2011 and 2012 changes to the POEO Act 1997 and the POEO (General) Regulation Responsibilities All Lein Earthmoving staff and contractors are responsible for understanding and implementing this PIRMP as appropriately identified. The PIRMP identifies the general roles and responsibilities of Lein Earthmoving staff. Lein Earthmoving shall manage pollution incidents in accordance with this PIRMP. Glenn Lein (Managing Director) and Brock Lein (Supervisor) are responsible for ensuring that their employees are aware of the PIRMP and their roles where appropriate. They are also responsible for the training of their staff. Lein Earthmoving is responsible for: Assisting with advice, reporting and response process; Ensuring the plan is made available to staff responsible for implementing the plan and authorised officers under the POEO Act; Giving advice on whether environmental incidents need to be reported to external agencies; Assisting in the notification of pollution incidents to the relevant authorities Provision of maps associated with the plan; Assistance with the implementation of response actions to pollution incidents Assistance in communicating with neighbours and the local community about the Plan and when incidents of a certain nature occur; Ensuring that training responsible for activating about their roles in the Plan; Testing; Reviewing this plan LEIN MP03 Pollution Incident Response Management Plan 16 th July 2016 Page 6 of 9

The register will assist with record keeping, reporting and determining improvements to incident response and review of the Plan. The register is kept by the administration department. The Managing Director and Safety Officer are responsible for monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of incident management and of this PIRMP. 1.8 Evaluation This Pollution incident Response management Plan (The Plan) complies with the requirements under the: POEO Act 1997 Part 5.7A Duty to Prepare and implement Pollution Incident Response management plans POEO (General) Regulation 2009 Part 3A The requirements under the legislation are supported by the Environmental Guidelines: Preparation of pollution incident response management plans, which provides additional advice from the EPA on Plan preparation. Plan preparation is a requirement for holders of Environment Protection Licenses (EPLs). The Pinebrook Gravel Quarry operates under EPL no and is therefore required to prepare a PIRMP and implement the PIRMP if and when an incident occurs. Key areas which this Plan covers are described in table 1 PIRMP Requirements. LEIN MP03 Pollution Incident Response Management Plan 16 th July 2016 Page 7 of 9

Hazard, likelihood and pre-emptive actions to prevent pollution incident risks 2.1 Overview The Pinebrook Gravel Quarry site undertakes extraction activities. This PIRMP also considers both air and water based pollution incident impacts. Overall considerable design and written environment systems are in place to effectively minimise the likelihood and impact of a pollution incident. However, such incidents despite the best design and management methods can occur. Such accidental events are also covered in the plan by the use of incident response methods. LEIN MP03 Pollution Incident Response Management Plan 16 th July 2016 Page 8 of 9

9 This PIRMP uses a modular approach to this risk assessment process. Each module represents an operation undertaken in extraction activities such as use and storage of hazardous chemicals and use and storage of non-hazardous chemicals vehicle movements. These modules are common across Lein Earthmoving operations. The risk assessment and control measure process includes impact on neighbours and crosses over with safety risk assessment processes. 2.2 Summary of Pollution Types Extraction by its nature has a limited list of typical pollution types which are required to be considered under the PIRMP. This list covers the main types found for the Pinebrook Gravel Quarry. Table 2 - Air based emissions Description Dust Fire Noise Odour Comments From surrounding dirt roads. Dust is covered under this Plan and also controlled by Lein Earthmoving s Jarmyn water taker. Fire is not considered an environmental incident, but the smoke from the fire can be and can affect neighbours. Fire management is covered under the Lein Earthmoving emergency manual (LEIN ENV 6.15) and any hazard reports that Lein Earthmoving employees forward to management frequently. Emitted by plant and equipment. Covered under the Lein Earthmoving employee and Contractor inductions. Noise is not considered a pollution incident and not covered further under this Plan. Odour is generally not associated with this site. Odour incidents are not considered to be material environmental harm, but are included in the PIRMP for consistency with the site EMS Table 3 - Spill type emissions Type Diesel Petrol Hydraulic oil Use For excavator and Prime mover and on occasion a hired dozer For pumps For excavator 3.
