1. PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN

Under the NSW Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997, holders of an Environment Protection Licence must prepare and implement a Pollution Incident Response Management Plan (PIRMP).

The objectives of the PIRMP are to:

A “pollution incident” is defined as:

The PIRMP must be:

Ensure comprehensive and timely communication about a pollution incident to staff, EPA, authorities and other stakeholders

Minimise and control the risk of a pollution incident by identifying risks and planning actions to minimise and manage them

Ensure that the plan is properly implemented by nominated trained staff, and regularly tested

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 includes potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to ecosystems as well as potential loss

or property damage of an amount, or amount exceeding $10,000

In written formAvailable at the

premises

Able to be provided to an EPA officer on

request

Tested at least once every 12

months

Immediately implemented if

a pollution incident occurs

2.1 Site location

The site is located at 88 Redfern St, Wetherill Park [Lot 3 / DP 262054]. The site is in Wetherill Park, predominantly industrial suburb in the Fairfield City Council, in Western Sydney.

Bales get loaded on a semitrailer and delivered to external markets for recycling

Bales moved to undercover storage area

Excavator pushes waste on the conveyor and waste gets baled into 1 tonne blocks

Only loose loads will be sorted

Paper, Cardboard, Plastic Film

Arrives loose Or bailed in 80kg to 240kg blocks

Waste arrives in tipping trucks, hook lift trucks, compactor trucks

Collected by Grima Delivered by customers such as JJ Richards, Veolia, Remondis, Sita and Cleanaway

Grima Environmental Services receives paper, cardboard and plastic film from various companies some in blocked form or loose. Usually the waste only requires minimal sorting, as the products arrive in clean loads. If required, small amounts of non-conforming material is removed at the front-end of the process. Grima’s main product is cardboard. Grima collects it from various stores with a table top tipping truck blocked in 80kg to 240kg blocks, for example Woolworths, IGA stores, Fruit shops. Grima also collects paper, cardboard and plastic film from industrial business which can come in loose form or blocked. Grima’s hook lift trucks collects compactors of cardboard from stores like BIG W, Target, Kmart, Aldi plus various industrial sites. Grima operates compactor trucks that collect paper/cardboard from various customers. Grima also receives paper, cardboard and plastic film from various companies for example JJ Richards, Veolia, Remondis, Sita and Cleanaway.

When the product gets delivered to the site, the driver will drive onto the weighbridge and the vehicle is weighed. The driver will empty the truck in the warehouse, as instructed. The loose material gets pushed onto the conveyor belt, which feeds material into one of the two baling machines. Feedstock is baled into blocks of approximately 1 tonne (for cardboard). The bales are then transferred to the covered, outdoor storage area, awaiting transport off-site via a semi-trailer. Cardboard is generally delivered to Amcor/Orora at Botany for recycling. Paper and the plastic films usually exported to China or India for recycling.

5. Key Regulatory Requirements

The occupier of a scheduled waste facility who is required to pay contributions under section 88 of the Act must ensure that there is a weighbridge installed at the waste facility

Submit to the EPA, within 30 days after installing the weighbridge, a plan of the waste facility indicating the proposed vehicleflow controls, including the entry and exit points where waste is transported into and out of the waste facility (a "vehicle flow

control plan")

If any change occurs in relation to those vehicle flow controls, submit a revised vehicle flow control plan to the EPA no later than 30 days after the relevant change occurs, keep a copy of the latest vehicle flow control plan on the premises and make the plan

available for inspection and copying by an authorised officer on request

Ensure that each vehicle that enters or leaves the waste facility for a purpose relating to the operation of the facility (whether or not the vehicle is being, is intended to be or has been used to transport or deliver waste) is weighed by the weighbridge on

entering and on leaving the facility

During any period that the weighbridge is out of operation, an alternative method that is specified in the Waste Levy Guidelinesis used to measure and record the quantity of waste and other material transported into or out of the waste facility

Take all reasonable steps to ensure that the weighbridge is maintained in proper working order

Ensure that the weighbridge is verified (within the meaning of the National Measurement Act 1960 of the Commonwealth) at least once a year

Ensure that the weighbridge has related software that records quantities of waste in any form and manner specified in the Waste Levy Guidelines

Notify the EPA of any incident that results in the weighbridge being out of operation for any period of more than 24 hours (and do so immediately on becoming aware that the incident will result in the weighbridge being out of operation for any such period)

Comply with any other requirement relating to the installation or operation of the weighbridge that the EPA may specify by written notice to the occupier

Grima Environmental Services Pty Ltd Procedure for Weighbridge Management

6. Weighing Protocol – Vehicle Entry and Exit

All vehicles enter the site via the main entrance and proceed to the weighbridge

Entrance points clearly signposted and visible from both the street and the site

The Weighbridge Operator or Operations Manager will monitor vehicle movements, instructing vehicles to wait for outgoing vehicles if necessary

Site speed limits will be strictly enforced

Vehicles will be weighed over the weighbridge based on the requirements given in Section 9 of this procedure

Trained Personnel will inspect each load to determine whether it contains any non-conforming waste, following procedures as per EMS Attachment 2 - Procedure for non-conforming waste

The Weighbridge Operator will record the weight and nature of the material in the load

Vehicles then unload in the designated area

Vehicles will then exit via the weighbridge and have their nett weight recorded

Record keeping requirements are given in Section 10

Where the tared weight of vehicles are kept by the Licensee, recording of nett weight upon exit of the facility is not required


4

8. Weighing Protocol – Exempt Vehicles

9. Weighing Protocol - Weighbridge Data Recording

All vehicles upon entry to the site will need to pass over the weighbridge except for small visitor vehicles not carrying waste or other materials

2. In this case, record the vehicle registration number, date and time the vehicle enters or exits the facility. This may be recorded in the facility’s site register or visitors book. Facilities with video surveillance can contact the EPA if they have other methods for recording these types of visits

3.No records need to be kept for small staff vehicles not carrying waste or other materials.

Upon entry to the facility, vehicles need to be weighed on the weighbridge and details recorded, including gross weight

2. When vehicles exit the facility, they need to pass over the weighbridge for nett weight recording unless the stored tare of the vehicle is kept up to date

3. All details given in Table 9.1 need to be recorded upon vehicle entry and exit of the facility

4. Data is to be recorded by the Weighbridge Operator into the Licensees Excel database
