• All hazardous substances and fuels will be transported, stored and handled in accordance with Australian standards, legislation and safety data sheets (SDS), including AS 1940:2004 and NOHSC 1015:2015.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• All hazardous substances will be stored in dedicated, bunded or self-bunded, signed and covered areas as required for the product. Storage and refuelling on the ROW will not be undertaken within 200m of a wetland or spring, 100m of a watercourse and 200m of a sinkhole.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Vehicle washdown bays will be designed to capture and recirculate all water; no discharge will occur from washdown bays. Sludge will be captured in sumps and pumped out as required by a licenced contractor.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Hazardous and Listed Waste

• Liquid and hazardous wastes are to be handled and stored in appropriate containers in bunded areas (or equivalent purpose-built ventilated and self bunded container) until transported offsite.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• A Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Substances Management Procedure will be developed and staff trained in Spill Response should a spill of listed or hazardous liquid wastes occur.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Management of contaminated materials/soil or potentially contaminated materials/soil will be in accordance with the Contaminated Land Management Procedure.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Listed wastes will be stored for collection by a licenced waste handler and transporter, who will take all listed wastes to an appropriately licenced facility.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Where listed/regulated wastes are removed from site a record must be kept of:<br>o The date of waste transport<br>o Quantity of waste<br>o Type of waste removed and transported<br>o Route selected for transport of waste<br>o Quantity of waste delivered<br>o Any incidents that may have occurred on route<br>

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• All trucks transporting wastes offsite are to be appropriately licensed to carry materials to licensed waste facilities.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Reinstatement and Rehabilitation

General

• Progressive reinstatement of ROW must commence within 6 months of completion of construction activities.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Construction ROW and all temporary facilities, tracks and work areas will be progressively reinstated the construction phase. The entire construction footprint is to be reinstated, unless permanent access is required or landholders request that certain infrastructure remains.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Right of Way

• Trench is to be backfilled and topsoil respread along construction ROW within 3 months of construction.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Topsoil is to be respread across the disturbed area, in the same location that it was originally cleared from.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Topsoil must be the final ground cover layer, as it contains the seed stock.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Any contaminated land resulting from construction activities is remediated.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Vegetation cleared during the ROW construction will be spread back over topsoil as a ground cover.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• All waste materials are removed from ROW, including flagging used to delineate sensitive environmental areas, cultural heritage areas or weed management zones.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Watercourse crossings

• Minimise the duration of disturbance by progressively reinstating watercourse crossings as soon as practicable following construction of crossing, including access through water courses when no longer required.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Major watercourse crossing profiles will be surveyed for levels prior to disturbance and these levels will be used as a guide for reinstatement following construction.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Bed and banks of watercourses will be reinstated to pre-disturbance conditions.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Active revegetation of watercourse banks will be considered to minimise vegetation fragmentation and assist in rapid stabilisation.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Erosion and Sediment Control

• Permanent drainage controls are installed in accordance with the ESCP. As a minimum, diversion bunds will be installed at intervals along the ROW and at approaches to watercourses to avoid water flowing down the ROW, into watercourses and resulting in erosion, and sedimentation of watercourses.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Temporary drainage, erosion and sediment controls will be installed and maintained in accordance with ESCP to assist in diversion, stabilisation and management of anticipated surface water flows during site re-establishment; these will be removed once there is sufficient ground cover for the area to be stable (to be detailed in ESCP).

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Permanent erosion controls will focus on ground cover in the form of natural revegetation.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Weed Management

• Rehabilitation monitoring and maintenance includes weed control where required.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Implement Weed Management Plan, specifically weed management zones, weed hygiene and restrictions on moving weed contaminated vegetation and topsoil along the ROW.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Operators and staff working on reinstatement will be trained in weed hygiene and weed inspections, and will adhere to weed management zones and required controls.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Temporary Infrastructure

• All temporary infrastructure will be reinstated as follows: infrastructure removed, topsoil respread over the surface, recontoured to match the surrounding landscape, ripped along the contour, and cleared vegetation will be respread as ground cover to aid in revegetation.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• All temporary construction infrastructure (access tracks, construction camps and water storage dams) will be decommissioned and reinstated unless otherwise requested by the Landholder.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Temporary construction camps will be constructed, used, and decommissioned progressively as construction moves along the ROW. As each camp is no longer required all infrastructure will be removed (and moved to the next camp location for reuse where required). Where possible, habitat trees will be retained at construction camps (i.e. not cleared initially) to aid in rehabilitation and stabilising the landform.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Dams will be dewatered where required; any dams that require dewatering will first be sampled and analysed for potential pollutants, prior to dewatering to land via erosion and sediment controls as per ESCP.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Dams will then be backfilled, returning soils in the order that they were removed.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Temporary access roads will be reinstated once once construction is complete unless required by landholder. Permanent diversion bunds and drainage may be installed along the access track to shed water and avoid erosion down the track; to be detailed in ESCP.

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• The construction ROW will not be actively revegetated but will rely on the natural seed stock in topsoil and cleared vegetation. Measures will be implemented to manage trees from growing over the pipeline (refer following section).

  Yes

  No

  N/A

Permanent Infrastructure

• Permanent access points will be required for maintenance activities and to access the MLVs and CPs. Any permanent access will be managed via landholder agreements and Jemena will be responsible for ongoing monitoring and maintenance of these areas (refer following section)

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Pre-construction land use will be reinstated as much as possible, including repairing pastoral fences and gates, and minimising risks to livestock by removing all waste and potential contaminants.

  Yes

  No
