FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Executive Summary
SITA Australia Pty. Ltd. (trading as SITA Environmental Solutions (SITA)) propose to develop a soil
processing facility at the Taylors Road Landfill. The proposed development will be an ancillary activity to
existing landfill operations, such that soil processing required prior to the disposal or reuse of prescribed
industrial waste can be undertaken at the disposal facility. The proposed development will consist of two
stages: Stage One encompasses soil stabilisation and direct fired thermal desorption (DFTD) processing
technologies whilst Stage Two will include soil treatment by bioremediation.
Proposed works
Stage One will consist of installation and operation of soil stabilisation and DFTD equipment for processing
of Categories A, B and C contaminated soils. The equipment will be supplied by Enviropacific Services Pty.
Ltd.
The DFTD principle of operation is to heat and dry contaminated soil causing contaminants to move from the
liquid or solid phase to the gaseous phase. Vaporised contaminants are then managed by an exhaust gas
treatment system. This process involves soil delivery to a feed hopper, transport to the rotary drier via screw
feeder and then discharge of soil to a pugmill for cooling and moisture addition. Exhaust gas treatment
involves particulate matter removal via a cyclone, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and semi-volatile
organic compounds (SVOC) removal via thermal oxidiser, water quenching for temperature reduction,
particulate matter removal by fabric filtration, acid gas removal by wet chemical scrubbing and VOC, SVOC
and mercury removal by activated carbon adsorption.
The soil stabilisation process limits the solubility or mobility of contaminants, even though the physical
characteristics of the soil may not be changed or improved. The process involves mixing of contaminated soil
with appropriate liquid or solid additives in a track mounted soil recycler. The soil recycler consists of a
screen, hoppers for untreated soil and solid additives, a two shaft paddle mixer and a discharge belt
conveyor. Additive feed rates are regulated by a screw feeder or dosing pump for solid and liquid additives
respectively. The soil stabilisation process renders the hazardous components in their least mobile, soluble
or toxic form.
Site Location
The facility will be located in the north eastern corner of the landfill site in the area currently occupied by
Cells 12A and 12B. The proposed development will occupy an area of approximately 3 ha, bordered by
Cells 12C and 14 to the west and Cell 11 to the south. The location of the soil processing facility is designed
to minimise potential noise and visual impacts associated with the development.
Choice of Equipment and Technology
SITA reviewed a number of direct fired thermal treatment technologies for the proposed soil processing
facility. The factors assessed in determining the most suitable equipment for the Taylors Road application
were:
Ability of the equipment to adequately treat contaminated soils;
Environmental emissions from the processing equipment;
Size of Victorian contaminated soil market;
Equipment cost to justify replacement/upgrading as new or improved technologies become available;
Initial capital outlay and set-up;
Ongoing operation;
Equipment size (dimensions);
Equipment portability:

Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Easily transportable for use interstate/intrastate, when volumes do not justify operation or are
unavailable;
Proven operation within Australia - both equipment & equipment operator/supplier;
Equipment’s ability to be easily shut-down for maintenance or during times of low demand.
The DFTD plant, supplied and operated by Enviropacific Services, met these criteria and was consequently
selected as the preferred equipment.
Key Environmental Considerations
The key environmental considerations for the proposed development relate to process emissions to air.
Other environmental considerations such as carbon management, waste generation, land and groundwater
management and noise are discussed in the extended document.
The atmospheric contaminants and proposed emissions rates from the proposed facility are presented in the
following table:

Environmental Best Practice
Best practice is defined as the best combination of eco-efficient techniques, methods, processes or
technology used in an industry sector or activity that demonstrably minimises the environmental impact of a
generator of emissions in that industry sector or activity. Further to best practice, proposals including
emissions of Class 3 indicators are required to demonstrate that emissions are controlled to the maximum
extent achievable
The best practice and maximum extent achievable elements of the proposed facility, with respect to air
emissions, are as follows:
Reduction of fugitive emission through delivery of soil by tarped truck or with soil contained in skips or
bins equipped with lids;
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Reduction of fugitive emissions through enclosing delivery, storage and processing equipment within a
ventilated building equipped with a dust and VOC control system;
Reduction of dust emissions within the building by dampening down of the soil recycler and DFTD feed
hoppers with water mist;
Reduction of nitrogen oxides formation from the DFTD process through the use of low NOx burners;
Reduction of emissions to air from the DFTD process through operation of the thermal oxidiser at a
temperature of 1,100°C, and a minimum residence time of 2 seconds;
Reduction of particulate matter emissions to air from the DFTD process through inclusion of a
baghouse;
Reduction of acid gas emissions to air from the DFTD process through inclusion of a wet chemical
scrubber;
Reduction of dioxin/furan emissions from the DFTD process through primary and secondary control
techniques. Primary controls are efficient combustion practices whilst secondary controls are rapid flue
gas quenching followed by fabric filtration and wet chemical scrubbing; and
Final polishing of emissions to air through inclusion of an activated carbon adsorption system.
Best practice environmental management has also been applied to other components of the proposed
facility, in particular carbon and water management are highlighted. Carbon management is the
management of energy use and greenhouse gas generation. SITA propose to reduce energy use and
greenhouse gas emissions through installation of thermal insulation on the thermal oxidiser to reduce heat
loss. Other initiatives to be investigated include a thermal oxidiser temperature reduction study and
development of an energy focused Environmental Management Plan.
Best practice management of water use has been achieved through reuse of stormwater currently collected
on the landfill site. It is anticipated that the DFTD process will require 13 ML of water per year for the
evaporative cooler and wet chemical scrubber. SITA propose to pipe collected stormwater from the Duck
Pond to holding tanks within the facility for use in the DFTD process. Further, water collected from the
operational areas of the processing facility will be batched, tested and used to supplement water from the
Duck Pond. Currently water collected in the Duck Pond is discharged to Eumemmering Creek in batches of
approximately 5 ML (average discharge volume 2007 – 2009).
Air Impact Assessment
The proposed process emissions to air were assessed against the design criteria contained within the State
Environment Protection Policy (Air Quality Management) (SEPP (AQM)) using the AUSPLUME mathematical
plume dispersion model. Design criteria were derived for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and
organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) as the Policy does not contain criteria for these contaminants. Overall the
modelling assessment demonstrated compliance with the design criteria at all points in the modelling
domain. Additionally, the maximum predicted ground level concentrations were calculated as a percentage
of the SEPP (AQM) design criteria and derived design criteria to demonstrate the safety margin between the
criteria and model predictions. The results of this analysis illustrated that SEPP (AQM) designated Class 1
and Class 2 substances with background concentrations included in the model, such as PM10, PM2.5 and
nitrogen dioxide, showed the smallest safety margins between the maximum predicted ground level
concentrations (GLCs) and the design criteria for both the gridded and discrete receptor results. The OCPs
and mercury results also showed a relatively reduced safety margin with 36% of the design criteria made up
by the predicted GLCs for the gridded results and 12% of the criteria made up by the predicted GLCs at the
discrete receptors. The remaining atmospheric contaminants, including the Class 3 compound benzene,
demonstrated GLC results less than 20% of the design criteria for gridded results and less than 5% at the
discrete receptors. A summary of the air impact assessment results is presented in the following table.

Separation Distances
The distances between the proposed SITA soil processing facility and the nearest residential properties are
as follows:
South-south-east
590 m;
South-west
870 m; and
West
720 m.
The environmental impact assessment prepared for this works approval application demonstrates that these
distances are appropriate for the amelioration of possible community amenity and health impacts.
Non-Routine Operations
Non-routine operations are events where normal process conditions are suspended due to an unforeseen
problem or incident. In the context of the proposed Soil Processing Facility, non routine operations fall into
four categories; utility failure, equipment failure, process triggered shutdown and chemical/water/soil spill.

The proposed development contains equipment with sufficient safety and environment protection features,
implemented with well designed infrastructure including bunding, chemical designated areas, storage
buildings and designated transport routes. These physical elements will be coupled with management
strategies that enable non-routine operating conditions to be handled appropriately to minimise any potential
environmental impact. The relevant management strategies for non-routine operations are:
Comprehensive operator training;
Induction programme, which includes environmental aspects;
Provision of adequate system documentation, including creation of Standard Operating Procedures and
operator checklists;
Plant and equipment maintenance programme;
Audit programme; and
Documentation of non-conformances and follow up.

INTRODUCTION
This report has been prepared at the request of SITA Australia Pty Ltd. {trading as SITA
Environmental Solutions (SITA)}. SITA propose to develop a soil processing facility at the Taylors
Road Landfill. The proposed development will be an ancillary activity to existing landfill operations,
such that soil processing required prior to the disposal or reuse of prescribed industrial waste can be
undertaken at the disposal facility. The proposed development will consist of two stages: Stage One
encompasses soil stabilisation and direct fired thermal desorption (DFTD) processing technologies
whilst Stage Two will include soil treatment by bioremediation.
This report forms the Application for Works Approval for the construction and commissioning of Stage
One of the soil processing facility at the Taylors Road Landfill. The report outlines the proposal and
assesses the development against the requirements of the Environment Protection Act, 1970, the
relevant State Environment Protection Policies and associated regulations.

Premises Details
The Taylors Road facility is located at 890 Taylors Road, Dandenong South, Victoria 3175, within the
municipality of the City of Greater Dandenong. The site began landfill operations in October 1990. At
present, there are twenty four landfill cells (including closed cells) at the site, currently accepting an
average of approximately 163,000 tonnes of waste per year (2008). Three cells have received 100%
prescribed industrial waste, whilst the remaining cells received either 100% general waste or a
combination of general waste and prescribed industrial waste in varying proportions. Total prescribed
industrial waste received at the site in 2008 was approximately 87,000 tonnes. SITA currently accepts
approximately 17,000 to 18,000 tonnes Category B and 980 to 3,900 tonnes Category C soils per
annum (based on 2007 / 2008 data).
The site is roughly rectangular in shape with a total area of approximately 56.34 hectares (ha), much
of which is occupied by the Taylors Road Landfill. The site occupies a former sand quarry. The site
weighbridge, car parking, offices, laboratories and vehicle wheel wash facilities are located in the
northern portion of the site. Clay, sand and concrete stockpiles are located towards the centre of the
landfill and soil or dry slimes are stockpiled in the south-western portion. A leachate treatment plant is
located in the south-eastern portion of the site, with a landfill gas management compound adjacent to
the south and west of the leachate treatment area.
The Taylors Road Landfill currently operates a commercial gas extraction system at the site whereby
landfill gas is extracted from the site and pumped to a 4 Megawatt power generation plant at Berwick
(former Narre Warren landfill). An aerial photograph of the Taylors Road facility is provided in Figure
1 (refer Figures section).

PROPOSAL
Project Description
SITA propose to install and operate a soil processing facility equipped with soil stabilisation and DFTD
equipment for processing of Categories A, B and C contaminated soils.
The proposal details, including background information, location description and proposed works are
presented in the following sections.
2.1.1
Background Information
Since start up the landfill has received contaminated soils, which have been placed in the appropriate
landfill cells as ‘high level’ contaminated soil or ‘low level’ contaminated soil under the provision of
existing EPA Waste Discharge Licence No. ES511 and two planning permits. Table 1 summarises the
volume of contaminated soils received at the site since 2002.

APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
The change in waste classification in July 2007 and the subsequent changes to the Prescribed
Industrial Waste Regulations in July 2009 introduced new definitions and classifications leading to the
need to introduce processing facilities at the site. In accordance with current Victorian regulations and
guidelines contaminated soil that exceeds the “Fill Material” (more commonly known as “Clean Fill”)
criteria will be classified as Categories A, B or C waste in accordance with allowable concentrations
for these categories of "Prescribed Waste (Contaminated Soil)" defined by EPA’s Industrial Waste
Resource Guidelines 621 (IWRG621) 2009.
Current regulations preclude Category A waste from being disposed to landfill without prior treatment.
Categories B and C contaminated soil can be disposed at a facility licenced to specifically accept this
waste.
The Taylors Road Landfill is the only landfill in Victoria that accepts Category B contaminated soil.
Category C contaminated soil can be disposed at a number of sites throughout Victoria as well as at
Taylors Road Landfill. The proposed development would provide a dedicated, centralised soil
processing facility. In addition to the current volumes of Categories B and C soils received at the site,
SITA wishes to provide facilities capable of processing up to 20,000 tonnes/year of Category A soils.
Following processing, the soils would either be disposed as Categories B or C soils or Fill Material.
Soil classified as Fill Material could be used as daily landfill cover or final capping material, and could
potentially be reused at an off-site location.
The approach adopted for the facility takes into account the principles of the waste management
hierarchy as presented by EPA in Figure 2:
Most Preferable
Least Preferable
Figure 2: Waste Management Hierarchy
In accordance with the waste hierarchy, the proposed development would offer the following:
A soil processing facility that would contribute to Victoria’s strategic waste minimisation goals;
Improved logistics and security for contaminated soil, through processing at the location where it
will ultimately be disposed;
Storage capacity for soils awaiting processing prior to disposal (i.e. stockpiled contaminated soils
would be removed from the community at large); and
A practical and sustainable use for closed portions of the landfill.
Added management and control through transportation of contaminated soil to a central location
(versus multiple sites throughout Victoria);

2.1.2
Site Location
The proposed development and operation of the soil processing facility will comprise an ancillary
activity within the currently permitted and active landfill boundary and will provide processing capacity
for contaminated soils imported to the site. The facility will be located in the north eastern corner of the
site in the area currently occupied by Cells 12A and 12B. The proposed development will occupy an
area of approximately 3 ha, bordered by Cells 12C and 14 to the west and Cell 11 to the south.
The location of the soil processing facility is designed to minimise potential noise and visual impacts
associated with the development. The site topography would provide natural screening of the plant
and the location of the facility maximises the distance to the nearest residential properties. More
specifically, the factors promoting the suitability of Cells 12A and 12B for the proposed soil processing
facility are discussed below.
Surrounding Land Uses
The location is the furthest portion of landfill from residential use. Currently the nearest sensitive land
uses to the site (irrespective of the Local Planning Scheme zoning) are the residential properties
located approximately 200 m west of the landfill along Taylors Road and Colemans Road, and 250 m
south-east of the landfill along Bayliss Road.
Landfill Gas
As methane gas is produced through decomposition of organic wastes under anaerobic conditions, it
is considered unlikely that the landfill cells containing 100% prescribed industrial wastes, such as Cells
12A and 12B will generate methane gas.
Settlement and Final Surface Profile
Landfills are subject to long-term settlement as waste decomposes and consolidates. This settlement
has significant impacts on the final surface profile, the landfill cap and subsequent uses for the site.
The degree of settlement in a landfill site varies considerably depending on different factors such as
waste composition, level of compaction of the waste during placement and thickness of the waste
mass, amongst others.
The soil processing facility will be located within the area of Cells 12A and 12B. These cells have
received non-putrescible waste. It is considered that due to the nature of the waste, the settlement will
be significantly lower than landfill cells receiving predominantly putrescible waste, as changes in
volume due to degradation of the waste are expected to be minimal.
It is also expected that Cells 12A and 12B will have a low settlement given that compaction levels
applied during placement of the waste were maximized, in order to optimize the waste volume in the
cell, due to the high cost of the airspace. Settlement is anticipated to be small and would be
considered in the design of the building foundations.
Settlement and Building Design
Similar to the above, as the waste has been placed in layers and intensely compacted, it is expected
that limited differential settlement may occur. The buildings will be designed as flexible structures to
accommodate the expected limited differential settlement of the waste in Cells 12A and 12B.
Cell Lining Design
Both Cells 12A and 12B have double composite liners (compacted clay plus high density polyethylene
layer plus a second high density polyethylene layer and geotextile overlay with a geosynthetic clay
layer in between) providing a significant barrier between the landfill and the surrounding soil and
groundwater.

APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Leachate Collection System
The separation difference between the leachate collection system of Cells 12A and 12B and the
foundations of the soil processing facility is in excess of 15 m. The weight of the structure is
considered negligible compared to the existing weight of the waste mass over the leachate collection
system. Therefore, it is expected that the waste treatment facility buildings and works will have no
significant impact on the short or long term performance of the leachate collection systems of Cell 12A
and 12B.
Infrastructure
The proposed location can easily link to existing infrastructure within the site, i.e. access to the
leachate treatment plant to the south, site offices and laboratory, weighbridge and existing haul roads.
Landfill Cap
Cells 12 A and 12 B will be capped once filled. The cap design comprises:
Compacted clay;
Linear low density polyethylene layer; and
A cushion geotextile with a 500 mm select fill overlay.
The soil processing facility will be designed to maintain the integrity of the landfill cap and avoid
damage to its protective properties.
2.1.3
Proposed Works
The following section provides an overview of the soil processing activities from off-site source
location through disposition, as shown in Figure 3.
Off-site Source Location
The volumes of soil for processing will be driven by land development, remediation of contaminated
land in the marketplace, requirements to treat Category A soils prior to disposal and economic
incentives to reduce landfill levies on disposal of Categories B and C soils. It is envisaged that off-site
sources of soil would be identified where:
It is not feasible or practical to undertake on-site processing of soils due to available space and/or
operational and time constraints;
An economic benefit for the site owner/operator would be realised by reduction in contaminant
loading of soils from Category A to Category B (required), Category B to Category C or Fill
Material (depending on contaminant concentrations and processing required), or Category C to Fill
Material prior to disposal or re-use; and
The contaminant type and loading are suitable for treatment by stabilisation or DFTD techniques.
The contaminated land industry is largely driven by land development cycles such that volumes of soil
waste in the marketplace vary from year to year depending on development site availability and the
economy.
Contaminated soil will only be brought to site if it is adequately characterised in accordance with the
Industrial Waste Resource Guidelines (IWRG) and feasibility of treatment has been demonstrated.

Transport
Soil will be delivered to the Taylors Road Landfill from Taylors Road via Abbotts Road which is an
unclassified road that runs adjacent to the northern boundary of the landfill. The soil processing area
will be accessed using internal haul roads. The main haul road is surfaced from the site entrance to
the wheel wash which is located adjacent to the northern landfill boundary. From the wheel wash the
haul road is unsurfaced. A new haul road may be constructed from the current haul route in an
easterly direction for approximately 150 m to the proposed development area.
All soil transported to the site must be accompanied by a Waste Transport Certificate and transported
in a vehicle that holds a current EPA Permit for Prescribed Industrial Waste Transport.

Receipt
Wastes to be accepted to the soil processing facility will be limited to Categories A, B and C
contaminated soils. The facility is not equipped to process prescribed solid waste (other than soil),
liquids or slurries. Moreover, the facility will be limited to accepting soil which can be effectively
treated by either DFTD or soil stabilisation and then only following characterisation and demonstration
of treatment feasibility. The maximum contaminant concentrations for soil accepted by the facility for
DFTD treatment are detailed in Table 2. Section 7.1.2 outlines the efficiency of the proposed
equipment for the listed maximum soil contaminant concentrations.

In addition to excluding soils containing contaminants exceeding the concentrations listed in Table 2,
contaminated soils will be also be rejected if they are classified as Category A Prescribed Industrial
Waste due to their displaying one or more of the hazard characteristics shown in Table 3. Hazard
characteristics are defined in the Industrial Waste Resource Guidelines (IWRG).
Receipt of soils deemed suitable for processing will be conducted in accordance with a modified
version of the existing MAN009 Waste Acceptance Manual, Taylors Road. This manual outlines both
the criteria and procedures for acceptance of waste streams.
The first step of the process occurs prior to transport, with the waste generator required to establish a
documented relationship with SITA. In summary this requires:
Completion, review and approval of the Disposal Service Agreement;
Client demonstration of the feasibility of treatment to the satisfaction of SITA;
Completion, review and approval of the Nominated Vehicle Form;
Completion, review and approval of the Waste Acceptance Form;
Client classification of the contaminated soil by a NATA accredited laboratory, tested in
accordance with the Industrial Waste Resource Guidelines (IWRG);
Provision of a representative reference sample to SITA; and
Issue of the Waste Approval Form.

Table 3: Hazard Characteristics: Definitions
Explosive wastes
An explosive waste is a solid waste (or mixture of wastes) which is in itself capable, by
chemical reaction, of producing gas at such a temperature, pressure and speed, as to
cause damage to the surroundings.
Note: These are wastes classified as ‘Class 1’ under the provisions of the Road Transport
(Dangerous Goods) Act 1995 and/or classified as ‘goods too dangerous to be
transported’ under the Australian Dangerous Goods Code.
Flammable solid wastes
Waste solids, other than those classified as explosives, which, under conditions
encountered in transport or containment, are readily combustible, or may cause or
contribute to fire through friction.
Note: These are wastes classified as ‘Class 4.1’ under the provisions of the Road
Transport (Dangerous Goods) Act 1995.
Wastes liable to
spontaneous combustion
Wastes which are liable to spontaneous heating under normal conditions encountered in
transport, or to heating up in contact with air, and liable to catch fire.
Note: These are wastes classified as ‘Class 4.2’ under the provisions of the Road
Transport (Dangerous Goods) Act 1995.
Wastes which, in contact
with water, emit flammable
gases
Wastes which, by interaction with water, are liable to become spontaneously flammable
or to give off flammable gases in dangerous quantities.
Oxidizing wastes
Wastes which, while in themselves are not necessarily combustible, may, generally by
yielding oxygen, cause or contribute to the combustion of other materials.
Note: These are wastes classified as ‘Class 4.3’ under the provisions of the Road
Transport (Dangerous Goods) Act 1995.
Note: These are wastes classified as ‘Class 5.1’ under the provisions of the Road
Transport (Dangerous Goods) Act 1995.
Organic peroxide wastes
Organic wastes which contain the bivalent-O-O-structure and which are thermally
unstable and may undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition.
Note: These are wastes classified as ‘Class 5.2’ under the provisions of the Road
Transport (Dangerous Goods) Act 1995.
Infectious wastes
Wastes containing viable microorganisms or their toxins which are known or suspected to
cause disease in animals or humans.
Note: These include clinical and related wastes as prescribed in the Environment
Protection (Prescribed Waste) Regulations 1998 and is waste classified as ‘Class 6.2’
under the provisions of the Road Transport (Dangerous Goods) Act 1995.
Corrosive wastes
Wastes which, by chemical action, will cause severe damage when in contact with living
tissue, or in the case of leakage, will materially damage, or even destroy, other goods or
the means of transport or containment. They may also cause other hazards.
Where corrosivity testing data is not available, pH may be used to determine if the
material is Category A.
• pH value of 2 or less
• pH value of 12.5 or more
Note: This includes wastes classified as ‘Class 8’ under the provisions of the Road
Transport (Dangerous Goods) Act 1995.
Wastes that liberate toxic
gases in contact with air or
water

The second step of the receipt process occurs when the load is transported to site. The weighbridge
operator is responsible for ensuring the load is accompanied by a correctly completed Environment
Protection Authority (EPA) transport certificate and the Waste Approval Form. A sample of waste is
then collected from the load and supplied to the weighbridge operator for testing, which includes pH,
flashpoint and visual appearance. The load is then accepted or rejected based on the outcome of the
tests.
Storage
Once accepted to site, loads will be segregated and stored in the soil processing facility. Loads that
have been designated by the waste producer as Category A or loads that are highly odorous will be
unloaded and stockpiled within the processing building. Loads classified as Categories B or C will be
segregated within the Nissen Hut.
SITA may conduct laboratory tests to confirm the soil category and the level and type of
contamination. The SITA waste stream monitoring procedure for verification sampling is presented in
Section 8.5 “Environmental Monitoring”.
The volume of contaminated soil stockpiled for processing will not exceed 10,000 tonnes of soil at any
given time, with a maximum storage time of six months. The total volume of soil to be processed
annually is approximately 60,000 tonnes; however, this is entirely dependent on the marketplace. No
limit on throughput is proposed.
A summary of soil acceptance and storage procedures is presented as a flow diagram in Figure 4.
Soil Processing
Processing of waste will be by direct fired thermal desorption (DFTD) and/or soil stabilisation. The
input to each technology will be limited to soil containing contaminants that can be appropriately
treated by each process. A matrix of input material suitable for each processing option is presented in
Table 4.
Table 4: Processing Options Decision Matrix
Contaminant
Soil Stabilisation
DFTD
Heavy metals
Volatile organic compounds (VOC)
Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC)
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs)
Contaminated soils containing both heavy metals and any of the other classes of contaminant listed in
Table 4, are not precluded from treatment, instead the soil may first be treated by DFTD followed by
soil stabilisation.
The DFTD principle of operation is to heat and dry contaminated soil causing contaminants to move
from the liquid or solid phase to the gaseous phase. Vaporised contaminants are then managed by an
exhaust gas treatment system. This process involves soil delivery to a feed hopper, transport to the
rotary dryer via a screw feeder and then discharge of processed soil to a pugmill for cooling and
moisture addition. Exhaust gas treatment involves particulate matter removal via a cyclone, VOC and
SVOC removal via thermal oxidiser, water quenching for temperature reduction followed by a
baghouse for removal of fine particulate matter and acid gas removal by wet chemical scrubbing. The
final component of the gas clean up stage is an activated carbon bed for removal of residual
VOC/SVOC and mercury.

The soil stabilisation process limits the solubility or mobility of contaminants, even though the physical
characteristics of the soil may not be changed or improved. The process involves mixing of
contaminated soil with appropriate liquid or solid additives in a track mounted soil recycler. The soil
recycler consists of a screen, hoppers for untreated soil and solid additives, a two shaft paddle mixer
and a discharge belt conveyor. Additive feed rates are regulated by a screw feeder or dosing pump for
solid and liquid additives respectively. The soil stabilisation process renders the hazardous
components in their least mobile, soluble or toxic form.
Processed Soil
Processed soil will be stockpiled in batches and segregated from untreated soil. Category A
processed soil will be batch stockpiled inside the Processing Building, whilst Category B and C
processed soil will be batch stockpiled within the Nissen Hut. Following segregation, samples will be
collected from each stockpile and tested to determine the success of the treatment. Once the testing
is completed and soils are reclassified as either Category B, C or fill material, SITA may mix soil
batches of the same Category and move stockpiles of Category C and fill material to outside storage
areas within the Processing Facility. Tested soil that is not deemed to be appropriately processed will
be stockpiled with unprocessed soil for further treatment. No Category A soil will be accepted to the
site unless there is a high level of confidence, based on the feasibility assessment, that the treatment
will be successful in removing contamination or reducing the hazard classification.
The final destination of processed soils will depend on the level of treatment undertaken and the
residual contaminant levels.
Hours of Operation
The soil processing facility will accept soil deliveries only during the standard operating hours outlined
in planning permit 920213. These are:
Monday to Friday:
6.00 am to 6.00 pm
Saturday:
6.00 am to 3.00 pm
Sunday:
9.00 am to 4.00 pm
It is anticipated that the soil processing equipment would operate for up to 24 hours per day 7 days
per week.
Infrastructure
To achieve the desired outcomes, the soil processing facility will consist of the following infrastructure.
STAGE ONE:
A hardstand area of approximately 162 m x 130 m, equipped with bund walls sized in accordance
with EPA Victoria Publication 347, Bunding Guidelines;
A pre-processing area enclosed within a shed. This area will be used for minimal processing,
including breaking of large rocks using a grinder attachment on a front end loader. The facility
will not be equipped with a stand alone screen, crusher or grinder. The shed will be constructed
on a concrete pad approximately 35 m x 25 m;
A processing building enclosing the feed hoppers for the DFTD and soil stabilisation equipment.
The processing building will also be sufficiently sized to enable storage of all Category A and
odorous soils prior to processing. The processing building will be constructed on a concrete pad
approximately 60 m x 40 m and the building will be approximately 10 m tall. The building will be
equipped with a ventilation system that will create a negative pressure within the building to
reduce fugitive dust and VOC emissions. The building will be equipped with a fabric filter
extraction system for removal of particulate matter and an activated carbon bed system for
control of fugitive VOC emissions.

Additional thermal desorption processed soil storage pad; and
Areas for processing of soils using bioremediation.
Development of Stage Two could be undertaken once sufficient filling of Cell 12 C has been
completed.
The Stage Two development is, however, not the subject of this application for Works Approval and is
consequently not discussed further.
The layout for Stage One of the proposed soil processing facility is presented in Figure 5 (refer
Figures section).
2.2
Cost of Works and Application Fee
The cost of constructing the proposed soil processing facility at Taylors Road, Dandenong South is in
the range $1 million to $5 million. The corresponding works approval application fee is eight thousand
six hundred and sixteen dollars ($8,616.00).
2.3
Proposed Dates
Construction of the SITA soil processing facility is scheduled to commence after October 2010.

APPROVALS
Need for Works Approval
The Environment Protection (Scheduled Premises and Exemptions) Regulations 2007 describe
premises which are scheduled, and are consequently required to comply with the licencing and works
approval provisions of the Environment Protection Act, 1970.
Scheduled premise type A01 refers to the storage, treatment, reprocessing, containment or disposal
facilities handling any prescribed industrial waste not generated at the premises.
Scheduled premise type A02 refers to waste treatment works engaged in the immobilisation, thermal
degradation, incineration or other treatment of waste.

APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
In both instances a category specific exemption from works approval under section 19A of the
Environment Protection Act 1970, or licencing under section 20(1), does not apply. A financial
assurance is however required for scheduled premise type A01, in accordance with the requirements
of Clause 71(1)(ada) of the Environment Protection Act 1970.
SITA currently holds EPA Waste Discharge Licence No. ES511 for the premises at 890 Taylors Road,
Dandenong South. The licence applies to a premise where municipal and prescribed industrial waste
and solid inert wastes are deposited to land.
The proposed soil processing facility includes aspects of both scheduled premise types A01 and A02,
consequently works approval is required under section 19A(1)(a)-(c) of the Environment Protection Act
1970.
Section 19A(1) notes that the occupier of a scheduled premises must not commence any construction,
installation or modification of plant, equipment or a process which is likely to cause:
a) an increase or alteration in the waste discharged or emitted from, deposited to, or produced at, the
premises; or
b) an increase or alteration in the waste which is, or substances which are a danger or potential
danger to the quality of the environment or any segment of the environment which are,
reprocessed, treated, stored, contained, disposed of or handled at the premises; or
c) a change in any method or equipment used at the premises for the reprocessing, treatment,
storage, containment, disposal or handling of waste, or of substances which are a danger or
potential danger to the quality of the environment or any segment of the environment;
d) except in accordance with a works approval, licence or notice issued by EPA.
SITA has previously provided a $12.3 million financial assurance for existing operations at the Taylors
Road landfill in a form acceptable to EPA under Section 67B(1) of the Environment Protection Act
1970. An alternative financial assurance, or an increase to the current level of financial assurance
provided, is consequently not considered justified for the proposed soil processing facility.
3.2
Planning and Other Approvals
The existing permits that apply to the operation are:
Planning Permit No. 890471 (issued January 24, 1990 by Cranbourne Shire Council and
amended by the Minister for Planning, April 2, 2008), which allows the site to be used for
“Establishment of a private rubbish tip”; and
Planning Permit No. 920213 (issued July 22, 1992 by Cranbourne Shire Council and amended
by the Minister for Planning, April 5, 2007), which allows the site to be used for “Use and
development of the land for the purpose of a private rubbish tip”.
An application has been made to the Minister for Planning (under Section 96 A of the Planning and
Environment Act 1987) to rezone the land to Industrial 1 Zone (IN1Z) and to issue a permit to allow
the proposed soils processing facility and the development of the associated buildings and works to
proceed. The application was presented in Golder Associates Report Number: 107613045-001-RRev0 and was submitted in May 2010.
3.3
Other Approvals
The Variation of an Order Relating to Notifiable Chemicals was gazetted under the Environment
Protection Act 1970 in February 2000. (No. S5, Gazette 1/02/2000) Within this Order, material or
waste with a PCBs concentration greater than 2 mg/kg is designated as a notifiable chemical with
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
19
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
conditions applicable to the sale, storage, handling and use of the material. As detailed above the
proposed facility is designed to store and handle PCBs contaminated soil and hence the conditions of
the Order are applicable. In particular, SITA will be required to develop an Environmental
Improvement Plan (EIP) for approval by the Authority. Storage and handling of PCB contaminated soil
will not occur at the Taylors Road facility until an EPA approved PCBs Environmental Improvement
Plan is in place.
3.4
Existing EPA Approvals
The Taylors Road Facility operates in accordance with EPA Waste Discharge Licence ES511. A copy
of this document is presented in Appendix C. SITA also operates the Hallam Road landfill in
accordance with EPA Discharge Licence ES33144.
4.0
ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY
The community in which Works Approval applicants operate is a crucial element in the management
and operation of any business. One of the key principles of the Environment Protection Act 1970 is to
integrate economic, social and environmental considerations, recognising that community well-being is
a direct result of social consideration in the decision making process. SITA appreciates this dynamic
and works hard to ensure that an open dialogue is maintained with the community in which the
business operates. This application for Works Approval explores three elements of environment and
community; track record (Section 4.1), key environmental considerations (Section 4.2) and community
engagement (Section 4.3).
4.1
Track Record
SITA maintains an excellent environmental and community engagement track record. During the
period SITA has operated the landfill there have been no enforcement actions or any offences
committed as defined by Section 20C of the Environment Protection Act 1970. With regard to
operations at Taylors Road, only one EPA infringement notice has been issued, which related to a
leachate spill in 2001. Similarly, only one Minor Works Pollution Abatement Notice has been issued to
SITA in this period which was a result of two subsurface fires in February 2008.
Evidence of SITA’s track record is also provided by the issues log maintained at the landfill site. An
excerpt from the log is reproduced in Table 5 for the period 2004 – 2009. As Table 5 shows, only
eleven complaints were registered in this period, with no complaints made in the period since July
2007. As the log demonstrates, all records related to odour with follow up action undertaken within 0.5
hour of the complaint being made.
The complainant history obtained from EPA shows a similar trend with only five complaints made in
the period 2004 – 2009 and only two complaints during the last two years. The database output from
EPA for this period is reproduced in Table 6. As Table 6 indicates four of the five complaints related to
odour with the remaining complaint relating to waste content.

In summary, SITA’s environmental track record indicates no enforcement actions, with a total of
sixteen complaints received over a six year period. The key environmental issue behind complaint
generation was off site odours, with SITA acting promptly in all instances to address the cause.
4.2
Key Environmental Considerations
The proposed soil processing facility has a number of key environmental considerations. Air quality
impacts are, however, the primary environmental consideration. These will be explored further in
Section 7, together with other environmental aspects such as carbon, water, waste and noise.
4.3
Community Engagement
SITA has established a relationship with its stakeholders through the Community Engagement
Steering Community (CESC). The committee of 20 people, chaired by an independent facilitator,
consists of representatives from the following organisations:
Colemans Road Ratepayers Association;
R.A.T.W.I.S.E. – Residents Against Toxic Waste in the South East;
Hampton Park Progress Association;
Lynbrook Residents Association;
Dandenong Ratepayers Association;
Department of Human Services;
Department of Planning & Community Development;
City of Greater Dandenong (Councillor and Officer);
City Of Casey (Councillor and Officer);
EPA;
SITA;
Victorian Waste Management Association; and
Fresh Start Bakeries (from neighbouring industrial estate).
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
22
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
The purpose of the committee is to provide a vehicle for community engagement, with the
membership representing the diversity and interests of the broader community. As the Terms of
Reference state ”the CESC is expected to play an important advisory role to ensure the fair,
transparent and accountable inclusion of broader community views in decisions about the landfill.” A
copy of the CESC Terms of Reference is provided in Appendix D. Minutes of recent meetings are
available on the EPA website.
The CESC process is also providing a mechanism for community consultation regarding the proposed
soil processing facility. SITA has developed a Community Engagement Plan, which describes the
processes, responsibilities and communication channels for community engagement in the proposed
development. This initiative aims to provide CESC members and stakeholders with the background
information to the development, as well as detailing the proposal itself. It is hoped that increased
understanding and awareness of the development will minimise community concern. Further to this,
the plan creates an avenue for SITA to address and discuss any concerns raised through the process.
A copy of the Community Engagement Plan is provided in Appendix E.
Lastly, SITA has a long standing relationship with the Colemans Road Ratepayers Association. This
relationship consists of informal phone or face to face meetings every two to three weeks. Meetings
may be initiated by SITA or Colemans Road residents. This connection provides an additional forum
for community feedback and engagement.
5.0
PROCESS AND BEST PRACTICE
The DFTD and soil stabilisation processes are described in the following sections. Best practice
elements are presented in Section 5.2.
5.1
Process and Technology
5.1.1
DFTD
In summary, the proposed DFTD process consists of the following soil processing stages:
Within the building:
Front end loader delivery of contaminated soil to a grizzly screen and feed hopper with weigh
conveyor delivery to the screw feeder and subsequently to the natural gas fired refractory
lined rotary dryer (dryer);
Outside the building:
Retention of soil in the dryer to enable vaporisation of VOCs and SVOCs with a series of
lifters for mixing to ensure that all soil is exposed to the hot exhaust gases;
Discharge of processed soil from the rotary dryer through an air lock to a pugmill for soil
cooling and moisture addition (soil conditioning system); and
Stockpiling of processed soil utilising a radial stacking discharge conveyor.
The DFTD process consists of the following exhaust gas treatment stages:
Contaminant laden air from the rotary dryer passes through a cyclone, for particulate matter
removal, followed by a natural gas fired refractory lined thermal oxidiser (oxidiser), to achieve
destruction of VOCs and SVOCs;
Exhaust gases then pass through an evaporative cooler consisting of a water quench tower to
rapidly reduce the exhaust gas temperature;
Removal of particulate matter contained in the exhaust gases by fabric filtration (baghouse), with
collected material mixed with processed soil at the entry to the pugmill;
Removal of hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride resulting from halogenated compound
destruction, and hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride and sulphur dioxide from soil mineral
decomposition, by wet chemical scrubbing; and

Acid gas emissions result from halogenated hydrocarbon combustion (HCl, HF) natural gas
combustion (NO, NO2) and the decomposition of soil minerals (HCl, HF, SO2). Sulphur trioxide (SO3)
is anticipated, but at low concentrations.
Removal of the major acid gas emissions will occur to varying degrees through the wet scrubber,
utilising an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide as the scrubbing liquor. Scrubbing liquor bleed will
be utilised in the pugmill to reduce water requirements. Sodium hydroxide addition to the scrubbing
liquor sump will be controlled by a pH control loop.
The activated carbon bed forms the final component of exhaust gas cleanup. The bed will consist of
two parallel sections, with exhaust gas ducted to one or the other or direct to atmosphere. One
section of the bed will consist of activated carbon for VOCs and SVOCs adsorption, whilst the second
section will contain activated carbon impregnated with sulphur for VOCs, SVOCs and mercury
adsorption.
The soil feed inlet concentration and contaminant type will be used to inform the plant operator
regarding which carbon bed should be used. DFTD exhaust gas will bypass the bed system during
start up and in periods where no soil is being processed. This function will enable SITA to extend the
life of the carbon and reduce waste from the facility. The decision matrix for use of the carbon beds is
presented in Table 10.

It is anticipated that each bed will consist of one tonne of carbon in a bed sized to achieve a face
velocity of 2 m/s. Each bed will have a 2 second residence time.
5.1.2
Soil Stabilisation
Soil stabilisation will involve mixing of contaminated soil with appropriate liquid or solid additives in a
track mounted soil recycler. The soil recycler consists of a screen, hoppers for untreated soil and solid
additives, a two shaft paddle mixer and a discharge belt conveyor. Additive feed rates are regulated by
a screw feeder or dosing pump for solid and liquid additives, respectively.
Indicative specifications for the equipment are provided in Table 11.

Environmental Best Practice
Clause 19(1) of SEPP (AQM) requires a generator of a new or substantially modified source of
emissions to apply best practice to the management of those emissions. “Best practice” is defined as
the best combination of eco-efficient techniques, methods, processes or technology used in an
industry sector or activity that demonstrably minimises the environmental impact of a generator of
emissions in that industry sector or activity.
Clause 20(1) of SEPP(AQM) requires emissions of Class 3 indicators to be reduced to the maximum
extent achievable (MEA). EPA may also prohibit the emission of a Class 3 indicator if it is considered
to constitute a significant threat to public health, either in the ambient air environment or in the vicinity
of a particular source. MEA is defined in SEPP(AQM) as a degree of reduction in the emission of
wastes from a particular source that uses the most effective, practicable means to minimise the risk to
human health from those emissions and is at least equivalent to or greater than that which can be
achieved through the application of best practice.
Best practice and MEA aspects of the proposed soil processing technologies are discussed in the
following sections.
5.2.1
Fugitive Dust and VOC Emissions
There are a number of fugitive dust and VOC emission sources that can result from contaminated soil
handling and treatment. These include:
Truck dumping of soil deliveries;
Stockpile formation and maintenance;
Filling of soil feed hopper by front end loader;
Conveyor drop points; and
Entrainment of stockpiled material by wind action.
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
26
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Best practice measures proposed by SITA to address fugitive dust and VOC emissions are described below:
Deliveries of contaminated soil to the SITA facility by tarped truck or with the soil contained in skips or
bins equipped with lids;
Soil deliveries, storage and processing equipment loading will occur inside a ventilated building
equipped with a dust and vapour control system, eliminating these sources of fugitive dust and VOC
2
emissions. The ventilation system will be designed in accordance with Australian Standard AS 1668.2 ;
and
Dust emissions resulting from the filling of soil recycler and DFTD process feed hoppers will be
minimised through the use of water mist sprays at the feed hopper entry point.
5.2.2
DFTD Process
Thermal treatment of soils contaminated with VOCs and SVOCs is recognised internationally as best
practice, with the majority of contaminated soil being processed in this manner. It is estimated that over 20
3
million tonnes of soil have been processed using thermal desorption technology in the USA alone .
The major concern with thermal desorption processes, especially in the treatment of soil contaminated with
PCBs, chlorinated hydrocarbons or organochlorine pesticides, is the potential for formation of polychlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (dioxins/furans).
4
The European Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Bureau (IPPC) notes that; for dioxins/furans
control, both primary (e.g. good combustion practices) and secondary measures are applicable.
Secondary dioxins/furans control techniques include rapid gas quenching, oxidation catalysts, powdered
activated carbon injection, combination activated carbon and lime sorbent injection, fixed bed carbon filter in
the flue gas, and high efficiency dust collectors.
The USEPA National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from hazardous waste
5
combustors apply to hazardous waste incinerators, hazardous waste burning cement kilns, and hazardous
waste burning lightweight aggregate kilns. Best Available Technology (BAT) for dioxins/furans control is
rapid flue gas quenching, activated carbon injection (also for mercury control), temperature control at the
inlet to the air pollution control device and high efficiency dust collectors.
The combination of DFTD with rapid gas quenching, fabric filtration and wet chemical scrubbing has been
demonstrated as best practice and MEA for the treatment of PCBs contaminated soil at Springvale, Victoria
and Kurnell, New South Wales, with the concentration of dioxins/furans in the exhaust gases complying with
3
the criterion of 0.1 ng/Nm International Toxic Equivalents (ITEQ) in both instances.
Dryer
The dryer is equipped with a low NOx burner to minimise the formation of oxides of nitrogen in the
combustion gases.
Heat Recovery
SITA propose the installation of heat recovery equipment in the ductwork from the cyclone to the thermal
oxidiser to enable preheating of burner combustion air.

Thermal Oxidiser
The thermal oxidiser is equipped with a natural gas burner (low NOx), enabling a combustion chamber
o
operating temperature of 1,100 C to be achieved. The minimum residence time of exhaust gases in the
o
thermal oxidiser combustion chamber is 2 s at 1,100 C.
6
The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment recommends the following for efficient thermal
destruction of PCBs in mobile plant:
99.9999% destruction/removal efficiency;
Residence time of 2 s at 1,200°C and 3% excess oxygen; and
Average carbon monoxide concentration of 50 ppm.
The minimum operating conditions specified by Environment Canada for the efficient thermal destruction of
PCBs (99.9999% destruction efficiency) are:
Residence time of 2 s at 1,200°C and 3% excess oxygen; or
Residence time of 1.5 s at 1,600°C and 2% excess oxygen.
7
For the thermal destruction of halogenated VOC streams, USEPA recommends the following operating
conditions:
o
Residence time of 1 second at 1,100 C, with a scrubber installed for the control of acid gases.
The degree to which any organic compound is incinerated is dependent on a number of factors. These
include residence time in the combustion chamber, combustion chamber temperature, turbulence, oxygen
content of the exhaust gases, combustion limit, flame combustion and heat.
o
o
Thermal destruction of most organic compounds occurs between 590 C and 650 C, with most incinerators
o
o
operating at 700 C to 820 C to oxidise the carbon monoxide that occurs at these higher temperatures to
8
carbon dioxide .
o
o
Most hazardous waste incinerators are however operated at 980 C to 1,200 C to ensure nearly complete
9
destruction of the organic compounds in the waste .
Residence time and temperature both affect combustion efficiency, however when one variable is increased
the other may be decreased with the same end result. The relationship between temperature and residence
time is readily demonstrated in Figure 8.
The incineration of biomedical waste has similar issues to those associated with the treatment of PCBs and
OCPs contaminated soils; a high chlorine content waste stream and the resultant potential for dioxins/furans
10
formation. The European Environment Agency Emission Inventory Guidebook notes that, in general,
incinerators used in Europe for hospital waste incineration consist of a pyrolysis furnace and a secondary
o
combustion chamber that operates at a temperature above 1,000 C, with a gas residence time of 2 seconds.

Figure 8: Combustion Temperature/Residence Time Relationship

The European Parliament directive on the incineration of waste requires all plants to maintain incineration
o
gases at a temperature of at least 850 C, with a minimum residence time of 2 seconds, in order to guarantee
complete waste combustion. If hazardous waste containing more than 1% of halogenated organic
o
substances, expressed as chlorine, is to be incinerated, the temperature must be raised to 1,100 C, with a
minimum residence time of 2 seconds.
The development proposed by SITA allows for the treatment of soil contaminated with a maximum chlorine
content of 0.6% (10,000 mg/kg PCBs; 60%w/w chlorine). Consequently the maximum concentration of
halogenated organic substances will be less than the European Parliament 1% criterion. The SITA proposal
o
for thermal oxidiser operation at 1,100 C and a minimum residence time of 2 seconds therefore readily
complies with European requirements.
On the basis of the above assessment the SITA thermal oxidiser design is considered to comply with best
practice and MEA requirements required for the treatment of VOCs and SVOCs contaminated soil.
The range of recommended thermal oxidiser combustion temperatures and residence times are summarised
in Table 12 in comparison with those applicable to the SITA DFTD equipment.

Environment Australia note that there are three generally accepted theories on the methods of
dioxins/furans formation in incineration systems: contaminated feedstock, thermal breakdown of precursor
compounds and de novo synthesis (formation from macromolecular carbon).
Precursor compounds are chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, including PCBs. The formation of
dioxins/furans in this instance is believed to occur after the precursor molecule has adsorbed onto the
surface of the fly ash in the exhaust gases, the combination of which promotes dioxins/furans formation. The
o
optimum temperature window for formation will be different for each precursor and can be well above 500 C.
De novo synthesis involves the reaction of different molecules to form precursors and subsequently
dioxins/furans. For both the precursor and de novo synthesis mechanisms a temperature range of between
o
o
250 C and 400 C is required for dioxins/furans formation to occur.
o
o
The optimum temperature range for dioxins/furans formation from de novo synthesis is 250 C to 450 C, with
o
the maximum formation rate at approximately 300 C. Dioxins/furans formation by this mechanism occurs
only in the low temperature zone of an incinerator and only where particulate matter (fly ash) is present.
De novo synthesis requires the presence of oxygen, metal ions, organic carbon and chlorine sources.
Chlorine may be incorporated into dioxins/furans through molecular chlorine or hydrogen chloride.
De novo and precursor formation of dioxins/furans are considered to be different processes, however they
may operate separately or simultaneously.
Metals present within the gas stream or in the materials of construction may act as a catalyst to
dioxins/furans formation, whereas sulphur dioxide present in the exhaust gases may inhibit dioxins/furans
formation.
The Enviropacific Services DFTD process allows for rapid cooling of the thermal oxidiser exhaust gases from
o
o
o
1,100 C to 150 C - 200 C by spray injection of water into a water quench tower, in order to both minimise
dioxins/furans formation and to cool the exhaust gases sufficiently to enable fabric filtration.
The impact of quench time on dioxins/furans formation cannot be predicted, however previous operating
experience with this and other thermal soil treatment systems would suggest that dioxins/furans emission
standards can be readily achieved.
Baghouse
Following cooling in the water quench tower, exhaust gases pass through a reverse pulse (pulse jet)
baghouse to remove entrained particulate matter. The collected particulate matter will be returned by screw
auger to the pugmill (soil conditioning system).
o
2
Based on an exhaust gas temperature of 190 C and a total fabric filter area of 112 m , the air to cloth ratio
(filtration velocity) is estimated to be 3.7 cm/s.
14
The UK Institution of Chemical Engineers recommend average air to cloth ratios for baghouses utilising
felted media for sand, clay and fly ash applications, of 4.6 cm/s, 3.6 cm/s and 3.0 cm/s respectively.
15
The Air & Waste Management Association suggests typical air to cloth ratios for a range of industries, filter
arrangements and filter types. For sand, clay, fly ash, silica and bauxite the generally safe design values are
5.1 cm/s, 4.6 cm/s, 2.5 cm/s, 3.6 cm/s and 4.1 cm/s respectively. Actual design values require consideration
of particle size and particulate matter concentration.
On the above basis the air to cloth ratio selected for the baghouse serving the DFTD process is considered
appropriate. In addition, fabric filtration is considered best available control technology for particulate matter
emission control applications.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency notes that baghouses provide high collection
efficiencies for both coarse and fine (submicron) particles, with removal efficiencies typically 99% to 99.9%
for pulse jet cleaned units. For a given combination of filter design and dust, the baghouse exhaust gas
particulate matter concentration is nearly constant, whereas the overall efficiency is more likely to vary with
particulate matter loading. Baghouses can therefore be considered constant outlet devices rather than
16
constant efficiency devices .
Dust collected from the cyclone and baghouse will be returned to the pugmill and blended with treated soil.
Samples of the baghouse stream will be analysed to confirm that the dioxins/furans content is acceptable.
This is considered appropriate given the extended residence time of the collected dust in the baghouse and
the operating temperatures in this region.
The proposed baghouse is not designed as a control mechanism for dioxins/furans. Alternative baghouse
systems for dioxin/furans control include powdered activated carbon or lime coating on baghouse filters or
the use of Remedia filter bags which provide catalytic destruction of dioxins/furans. However, available
evidence for the proposed DFTD system suggests compliance with the exhaust gas concentration limit of 0.1
3
ng/Nm for dioxins/furans. If proof of performance tests demonstrate that the proposed equipment is not
adequately controlling dioxin/furan formation, additional controls such as Remedia filter bags will be
investigated.
Wet Chemical Scrubber
A wet chemical scrubber is proposed to control hydrogen chloride emissions to air resulting from chlorinated
organic compound destruction; however the removal of other acid gases present in the exhaust gases will
also occur.
Typical acid gas removal efficiencies for wet scrubbing systems are listed in Table 13.

The absorption of carbon dioxide in the scrubbing liquor, and the resultant sodium hydroxide consumption,
will be minimised by operation in the neutral pH range.
Mist elimination is an essential component of a packed bed scrubbing system. The DFTD process wet
chemical scrubber will have both a chevron blade mist eliminator and a polypropylene mesh pad mist
eliminator installed. Most wet scrubbing systems would have one or the other installed, consequently the
combination of both is considered industry best practice.
Wet chemical scrubbing for hydrogen chloride and sulphur dioxide control applications is also considered
best available control technology.

Activated Carbon Bed
The final stage of exhaust gas clean up is the activated carbon bed system consisting of an activated carbon
bed and a parallel sulphur impregnated activated carbon bed. Activated carbon is a porous solid which has
been treated to remove impurities so that a large surface area is available for contaminant adsorption.
Adsorption refers to the process where gaseous contaminants are attracted and retained by a solid sorbent,
thereby removing them from the gas stream. The proposed carbon bed system will be used to remove
residual VOCs and SVOCs not destroyed by thermal oxidization; similarly any SVOCs formed following the
destruction of chlorinated compounds will also be removed. Exhaust gas from the treatment of mercury
contaminated soil feed will be ducted to the sulphur impregnated activated carbon bed. Volatilised mercury
in the gas stream will adsorb to active carbon sites where it is then converted to mercuric sulphide through
reaction with the impregnated sulphur. Sulphur chemisorption increases the adsorbent capacity of the
activated carbon. The installation of the activated carbon bed system as the final stage of exhaust gas clean
up represents a custom modification to the Meco DFTD equipment.
Continuous Emission Monitoring System
A continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) will be installed on the activated carbon bed system
outlet.
The monitoring system will consist of analysers for the determination of the following contaminants:
Oxygen;
Carbon monoxide;
Particulate matter;
Hydrogen fluoride;
Hydrogen chloride;
Sulphur dioxide; and
Oxides of nitrogen.
The oxygen content will be measured to confirm that there is sufficient excess oxygen present in the exhaust
gases to enable efficient combustion.
Carbon monoxide will be measured to confirm the efficiency of combustion, whilst other analytes will enable
the plant operator to confirm the performance of the baghouse and wet chemical scrubber.
Process Controls and Interlocks
DFTD process controls and interlocks enable optimal operation of the equipment to achieve the following key
objectives:
Safe equipment operation;
Treatment of contaminated soil to an adequate level; and
Control of emissions to air to ensure that the principles of best practice and MEA are fulfilled.
Process controls refer to procedures and physical systems that enable DFTD operation to be managed such
that the three key objectives are met. A summary of the DFTD process controls is presented in Table 14.

preventing the egress of untreated air.
Burner flame safety
controller - oxidiser
The oxidiser will not start up unless a timed
purge cycle is completed and the flame safety
controller LED has been activated, followed by
activation of the pilot light followed by the main
flame.
It is not possible to commence operation of the
oxidiser without adequate fuel delivery and
pressure and correct start up sequences.
Burner flame safety

The dryer will not start up unless a timed purge
cycle is completed and the flame safety
controller LED has been activated, followed by
activation of the pilot light followed by the main
flame.
It is not possible to commence operation of the
dryer without adequate fuel delivery and pressure
and correct start up sequences.
Oxidiser burner thermocouple
The oxidiser burner is equipped with an
automatic control mode, which enables a
thermocouple feedback loop to monitor and
adjust the burner, ensuring that the oxidiser
temperature is constant.
Temperature fluctuations resulting from oxidation
of organic contaminants will be minimised.
Operating temperature
ranges
Operating temperature ranges are specified as
follows:
Equipment temperatures are maintained at optimal
temperatures, ensuring adequate soil treatment
and emission control.
Soil discharge from the rotary dryer: 425 –
500°C.
Soil conditioning system discharge 65 – 95°C.
Oxidiser outlet: 1,100°C.
Soil processing rates
Soil processing rates are specified as 2.5 – 3
tonnes per hour.
DFTD throughput is a function of contaminant type
and level and soil moisture content. Specification
of an optimal range ensures that the throughput
determined for each batch is within the operating
parameters of the equipment.
Dryer unit – suction
draught
The burner suction draught must be maintained
at 0.2 – 0.25 in. wg (inches water gauge)
Maintenance of the burner suction draught
enables correct operation of the dryer unit. If the
draught is too low, the dryer drum shell will
overheat and warp, if the draught is too high
excess air will be pulled through the system
leading to process inefficiencies.
Soil conditioning system
– water addition
The water injection system for the pugmill
consists of thirteen water inlet ports with
individual cut off valves and four isolation valves.
Manual adjustment of cooling water addition is
conducted to ensure that dust generation is
minimised. This is particularly important at the
fines entry point.

Soil conditioning system
- mixing paddles
Pugmill mixing paddles within the soil
conditioning system are used for even moisture
addition and blending of fines from the cyclone
and baghouse.
Mixing paddles can be accessed via the knock out
box and access doors, enabling inspection and
replacement of tips as well as reversal of direction
if necessary.
Access to the pugmill mixing paddles will be
controlled by a permit system.
Soil conditioning system
– dust control
Dust generated by the pugmill is controlled by a
scavenge duct system connecting the pugmill to
the baghouse.
Fugitive emissions to air from the pugmill are
minimised.
A manual damper valve is used to ensure that
suction at the pugmill is within the range 0.2 –
0.4 in. wg.
Equipment start up
Commissioning of the DFTD requires a series of
steps to be undertaken by the plant operator
which are detailed in the Enviropacific SOP. In
general the process includes sufficient warm up
time for the dryer and thermal oxidiser with
specific instructions relating to temperature
ramping on both equipment items.
The plant operator is responsible for ensuring
equipment is properly commissioned and
operating at optimal temperatures before
introduction of contaminated soil for processing.
Oxygen concentration –
thermal oxidiser
Oxidation of contaminants in the exhaust gas
stream requires the presence of oxygen in the
thermal oxidiser. The plant operator is
responsible for ensuring oxygen exiting the
thermal oxidiser is in the range 4 – 6%v/v
through adjustment of the burner blower damper
or proportional adjustment.
The thermal oxidiser is maintained to ensure
sufficient oxygen for oxidation of exhaust gas
contaminants.
Baghouse temperatures
The baghouse inlet must not exceed 200°C to
protect the filtration fabric. The plant operator
will be responsible for maintaining the outlet of
the evaporative cooler (quench tower) at 150°C.
Filtration fabric will be protected from high
temperature, corrosion and physical damage
through constant monitoring and maintenance of
inlet/outlet temperatures and pressures.
The baghouse outlet temperature must not fall
below 130°C, as entrained acid gases will
condense from the gas stream, causing
corrosive damage to the filtration fabric.
The baghouse inlet/outlet pressure differential
as displayed on the magnahelic gauge must not
exceed 3 – 6 in. wg, as the fabric filter may
burst. Inlet/outlet pressure is a function of the
efficiency of baghouse pulsations to remove
captured dust. The plant operator will be
responsible for adjusting pulsation frequency
and ensuring that the baghouse air pressure is
maintained between 40 – 60 psi.

Outcome
Evaporative cooler nozzles
The evaporative cooler/quench tower contains
nozzles for introduction of water and air to the
tower. The plant operator must maintain the
water delivery pressure at 75 – 80 psi and the
air pressure at 85 – 90 psi.
Operation of the water and air nozzles within the
specified ranges ensures that water is atomized as
it mixes with the incoming exhaust gas, thus
reducing gas temperature prior to the baghouse
and limiting the potential for dioxins/furans
formation.
Regular nozzle maintenance and quench tower
cleaning will be conducted to remove debris and
deposits.
Wet chemical scrubber
– pH
The plant operator is responsible for ensuring
that fresh water is available in the
scrubber/quench sump. Once operating, water
level is controlled by an automatic float valve.
Maintenance of scrubber pH is achieved through
addition of 46% w/w sodium hydroxide.
Minimisation of acid gas emissions to air.
Equipment shut down
The plant operator is responsible for planning
shutdowns such that the DFTD process is
maintained at normal operating conditions until
all soil has moved through the system. This
involves halting the soil feeder and empting
conveyors, controlling the dryer burners for
reduced soil volumes, and shutting down the soil
conditioning system water pumps. Once all soil
has moved through the dryer, the 30 – 40
minute dryer cool down commences as does the
oxidiser cool down. The other elements of the
process are progressively turned off as the
temperatures through the system allow.
Induced draught (ID) fan operation is continuous
throughout shutdown to ensure even
temperature reduction. At the completion of
shut down, the equipment is electrically isolated
and components decommissioned as required.
A staged approach ensures shut down occurs
following removal of all processed soils and
exhaust gas.
Process interlocks refer to physical systems that prevent unsafe operation of the DFTD. Process interlocks
are either controlled mechanically, electrically or by the device controller (UDC). The UDC interlocks are
programmed as alarms in the main control panel.
The following conditions result in the cessation of soil feed to the dryer:
Low soil temperature (set point determined based on treatment requirements);
Low thermal oxidiser temperature;
Low or high pH in the recirculating scrubbing liquor for a period greater than 15 minutes;
Low baghouse inlet temperature;
Negative pressure in the dryer; and
Contaminant levels exceeding set points on the CEMS system.

Equipment specification parameters are set to ensure that temperatures recommended by the component
manufacturer are not exceeded. In most cases this is based on the grade of steel used in construction, but
can also be based on bearings, gaskets or, in the case of the baghouse, the fabric material selected.
The following temperature conditions result in an alarm:
o
High dryer temperature (590 C);
o
High thermal oxidiser temperature (1,140 C); and
o
High baghouse inlet temperature (230 C).
When individual alarms are activated it triggers a timing mechanism, allowing the plant operator time to
rectify the reason behind the increased temperature. If the operator does not respond in the allocated time:
Soil feed to the dryer is shut down;
The dryer and thermal oxidiser burners are reduced to low fire;
The centrifugal fan (ID fan) speed is reduced, reducing the exhaust gas flowrate;
High temperature at the baghouse inlet also causes a damper to open, allowing the ingress of ambient
air.
Soil feed shut down is usually triggered by electrical relay mechanisms.
Safety interlocks associated with the thermal oxidiser and dryer burner trains include:
Low and high gas pressure;
Pilot light not activated;
Purge cycle not completed; and
Low fire not exuberant.
In summary, DFTD process interlocks are designed to enable safe operation of equipment when non routine
operations occur. The entire system is maintained under negative pressure, with the induced draught fan
drawing air through each of the emission control stages. Where a process interlock triggers the cessation of
soil feed, exhaust air in the dryer will continue to be drawn through the cyclone, thermal oxidiser, evaporative
cooler (quench tower), baghouse, wet chemical scrubber and activated carbon bed. In the scenario where
soil feed ceases and the thermal oxidiser burners are reduced to low fire, the internal temperature of the
oxidation chamber will slowly reduce with the time taken to reach ambient temperatures expected to be
greater than one hour. The thermal oxidiser is equipped with internal insulation causing it to respond slowly
to changes in operating conditions. This property ensures that contaminant laden air, present in the dryer
when process interlocks are triggered, will be treated by thermal oxidation even if the burners have been
reduced to low fire.
The installed continuous emission monitoring system represents both a process interlock and process
control. As noted above, the system will inform the plant operator concerning combustion efficiency and
hence operation of the thermal oxidiser as well as provide information relating to operation of the baghouse
and wet chemical scrubber. In this manner, feedback provided by the CEMS unit forms a process control;
when any of the contaminant concentrations exceed nominated set points, the CEMS unit will act as a
process interlock with soil feed shut down. The interlock set points will include an adequate safety buffer
such that the plant operator will have the opportunity to investigate and implement corrective actions prior to
potential excursion of licence limits.

5.2.3
Soil Stabilisation
Soil stabilisation is considered best practice environmental management for treatment of soil contaminated
with heavy metals. The soil stabilisation process has the potential to result in particulate matter emissions to
air when soil is added to the feed hopper. However the proposed equipment contains a number of best
practice emission reduction strategies to minimise air emissions. These are as follows:
Location of the feed hopper within the processing building;
Mist sprays located on the feed hopper entry point;
Additives principally used in liquid form; and
Processed soil has a high moisture content.
The inclusion of these best practice measures for soil stabilisation will ensure that air emissions from this
process are minimal and consequently are not considered further in this application.
5.2.4
Building Ventilation System Exhausts
Detailed design of the soil processing building ventilation system is yet to be commenced, however the
following forms the basis of preliminary design:
six mechanically ventilated exhausts will be installed, each equipped with a filter and activated carbon
bed to remove entrained particulate matter, gaseous VOCs and volatilised mercury;
building dimensions 60 m (l) x 40 m (w) x 10 m (h); and
the building ventilation system will achieve a minimum of 2 air exchanges per hour.
The Golder Air Quality Group has previously conducted area source emission tests on gasworks soil during
a site remediation. VOCs and odour flux emission rates were determined on a stockpile utilising a USEPA
emission isolation flux chamber, 48 hours and 14 days respectively following stockpile formation. Sampling
was conducted in accordance with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4323.4 “Stationary Source
Emissions - Method 4: Area Source Sampling - Flux Chamber Technique”.
The stockpile was heavily contaminated, containing 31,000 mg/kg of total petroleum hydrocarbons, 7,500
mg/kg of PAHs and 455 mg/kg benzene. Gasworks soils are also considered to represent the worst case
with respect to odour emissions.
The resultant soil flux emission data is therefore considered appropriate for use in evaluating worst case
emissions from the soil processing building ventilation exhausts.
The building ventilation system preliminary design calculations are summarised in Table 15.
Soil will be principally stored in bunkers to aid in segregation and recovery, thereby restricting the soil
surface area. Therefore the assumption that soil would cover approximately 50% of the soil processing
building floor area is considered to be extremely conservative.
The assumed particulate matter concentration is also considered to be conservatively high, given that the
3
concentration of dust inside the building is likely to be less than 20 mg/m and the ventilation system
exhausts will be filtered.
The calculated odour concentration in the ventilation system exhausts is low and would consequently not
represent a source of amenity impact for the local community.

Integrated Environmental Assessment
The principal area where there is considered to be competing environmental demands is the thermal
processing of contaminated soils.
Options for the processing of soil contaminated with high level VOCs and SVOCs are restricted and in most
instances will results in incineration or thermal oxidation of a waste stream. Under the current proposal,
greenhouse gas generation will result from natural gas combustion in the rotary dryer and thermal oxidiser.
Failure to process the soil may result in the soil remaining in-situ, with the associated issues of long-term
environmental management, restrictions on development and potential for groundwater and air quality
impacts. Alternatively a long term containment facility would be required, with the associated cost to the
community. It is consequently considered that a net environmental benefit analysis favours the thermal
processing of soil contaminated with VOCs and SVOCs.
For the soil stabilisation process, the net environmental benefit relates to the opportunity to treat Category A
waste to achieve Category B, C or clean fill criteria, enabling landfill disposal or reuse options which would
otherwise not be available.
5.4
Choice of Process and Technology
Options for the thermal processing of soil contaminated with VOCs and SVOCs include incineration and low
and high temperature thermal desorption (LTTD and HTTD).
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
39
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Incineration has been used previously, however the major disadvantage is the adverse effect on the physical
properties of the soil.
The principal options therefore relate to thermal desorption.
o
In LTTD, soil is heated to between 90 C and 320°C, physically separating VOCs and SVOCs from soils.
LTTD is typically used for remediating petroleum hydrocarbon contamination. In this process,
decontaminated soil generally retains its physical properties, and unless heated to the higher end of the
LTTD temperature range, organic components in the soil are not damaged, enabling processed soil to retain
the ability to support future biological activity.
o
In HTTD, soil is heated to 320 C to 560°C. Contaminants such as SVOCs (PAHs, PCBs and pesticides) may
be removed by HTTD systems. The process is also applicable to the separation of organics from refinery
wastes, coal tar wastes, wood treating wastes, creosote contaminated soils, hydrocarbon contaminated
soils, synthetic rubber processing waste, pesticides and paint wastes.
Factors that may limit the applicability and effectiveness of thermal desorption of contaminated soils include:
Dewatering may be necessary to achieve acceptable soil moisture content levels;
Heavy metals in the input soil may produce a processed solid residue that requires stabilisation;
Processing temperature (this factor is a function of the moisture content, heat capacity and the particle
size of the soil, together with the heat transfer and mixing characteristics of the unit);
Clay and silty soils increase reaction time as a result of binding of contaminants; and
Contaminant characteristics - vapour pressure and the concentration of contaminants in the soil.
Vapour pressure influences the rate at which a contaminant is thermally desorbed, and the maximum
concentration of contaminant in the soil that can be processed by thermal desorption depends on the gas
flow through the unit, the oxygen content of the purge gas and the type of contaminant present.
The United States Federal Remediation Technology Roundtable (FRTR) notes that HTTD has proven that it
can produce a final contaminant concentration below 5 mg/kg for the target contaminants identified. On this
basis HTTD is the preferred technology option and is considered to represent both best practice and MEA.
Thermal desorption processes include both indirect and direct firing. Of the 205 mobile thermal desorber
projects conducted in the USA or USA territories during the period 1987 to 2009 on hazardous waste
applications (excluding applications on petroleum contaminated soils), the following is the reported
17
breakdown of the technologies utilised :
Indirect firing with subsequent destruction 3;
Indirect firing with subsequent recovery
68;
Direct firing with subsequent destruction
121; and
Direct firing with subsequent recovery
13.
Direct firing with subsequent destruction of the desorbed compounds has therefore historically been the
preferred technology option and represents the technology preferred by SITA in this instance.
SITA reviewed a number of direct fired thermal treatment technologies for the proposed soil processing
facility. The factors assessed in determining the most suitable equipment for the Taylors Road application
were:

Ability of the equipment to adequately treat contaminated soils;
Environmental emissions from the processing equipment;
Size of Victorian contaminated soil market;

Equipment cost to justify replacement/upgrading as new or improved technologies become available;
Proven operation within Australia - both equipment & equipment operator/supplier;
Initial capital outlay and set-up;
Ongoing operation;
Equipment size (dimensions);
Equipment portability:
Easily transportable for use interstate/intrastate, when volumes do not justify operation or are
unavailable;
Equipment’s ability to be easily shut-down for maintenance or during times of low demand.
The DFTD plant, supplied and operated by Enviropacific Services, met these criteria and was consequently
selected as the preferred equipment.
The roles of each of the companies associated with the supply of equipment for this project are as follows:
MECO LLC is a US based company that procures thermal equipment from Chapman Services LLC for
operation in the US and other parts of the world.
Chapman Services LLC is a US based company that designs and fabricates thermal treatment equipment for
MECO LLC.
Combustion Technology provide burner and gas train advice to Chapman Services, specifically in relation to
compliance with Australian Standards.
Enviropacific Services is a privately owned Australian company offering a diverse range of environmental
services across all states. Enviropacific has purchased the exclusive rights to MECO equipment within
Australia (excluding Queensland). Enviropacific will own and operate the equipment at the proposed facility
and draws on the thermal processing experience of both Chapman Services and MECO.
A supplier performance guarantee for the proposed DFTD soil processing equipment is presented in
Appendix F.
5.4.1
DFTD Process Design Case
The DFTD process design case represents a quantitative assessment of DFTD operation. The design case
is based on actual emission test data for the Enviropacific DFTD equipment operating at Kurnell in NSW.
The Kurnell equipment is the same as that proposed for SITA, with the exception that the thermal oxidiser
operated at 1,000°C and there were no activated carbon beds installed. Operation of the thermal oxidiser at
1,100°C and inclusion of activated carbon are considered to be process modifications which will enhance the
emission control capabilities of the proposed equipment. Presentation of the process design case without
these enhancements is considered a worst case operating conditions approach.
The DFTD process design case was based on a soil throughput of 3 tonnes per hour, a soil moisture content
3
of 14% w/w, a dry exhaust gas flowrate of 97 Nm /min and maximum concentrations for a range of soil
contaminants. The exhaust gas flowrate is based on actual emission test data.
The design case calculations are summarised in Table 17, showing the maximum soil contaminant
concentration and the following data for each stage of the DFTD process:
Equipment item removal/destruction efficiencies for each atmospheric contaminant; and
Calculated atmospheric contaminant concentrations and rates of emission from the equipment item

The efficiency of volatilising target soil contaminants (SVOCs, benzene and mercury) has been assumed to
be 100%. Operating experience with a similar DFTD soil treatment installation would suggest that this is a
18
realistic expectation, with a measured PCBs removal efficiency of 99.96% . In this instance the treated soil
readily achieved the Environment Protection and Heritage Council Polychlorinated Biphenyls Management
Plan definition of “PCBs free” material (less than or equal to 2 mg/kg).
The assumptions of:
20% of soil being entrained in the rotary dryer exhaust gases; and
A minimum cyclone removal efficiency of 95%;
are based on supplier information.
As noted in Section 5.2.2, baghouses do not have a specific particulate matter removal efficiency, instead
they tend to operate as a constant emission rate device. Consequently the removal efficiency noted in Table
3
17 has been calculated based on the assumed baghouse exhaust gas concentration of 30 mg/Nm . This
concentration is considered conservatively high based on previous experience with baghouse emission
testing.
A number of other emission estimates are also considered to be conservatively high as a result of the
following design case assumptions:
The thermal oxidiser destruction efficiency for VOCs and SVOCs has been assumed to be 99.99%, in
comparison with the PCBs destruction efficiency of 99.9997% measured at a similar installation,
corresponding to an overestimation of approximately 30,000 times. PCBs are considered to represent
the worst case in terms of DFTD equipment performance;
The removal efficiencies for SVOCs and mercury for both the baghouse and the packed bed scrubber
have been assumed to be zero. It is likely that both equipment items would remove these atmospheric
contaminants to some degree;
The particulate matter removal efficiency for the packed bed scrubber has been assumed to be zero.
Packed bed scrubbing systems are known to remove particulate matter from gas streams;
The 99% removal efficiency for hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride and sulphur dioxide assumed for
the packed bed scrubber is considered to be the minimum achievable; and
The activated carbon bed system is not included as this is a process modification for the Taylors Road
Landfill installation and consequently operational data does not exist.

Air Pollution Control Equipment
Acid Gas Scrubbing
Options for the control of acid gas (hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, sulphur dioxide and sulphur
trioxide) emissions to air include dry and wet scrubbing.
Dry scrubbing systems typically utilise spray dryer absorption and/or dry injection adsorption for acid gas
control and either gravity settling chambers, fabric filters or electrostatic precipitators for particulate matter
removal. In a dry scrubber the acid gas stream is brought into contact with an alkaline reagent. The reagent
either absorbs or adsorbs the acid gases in the gas stream. The droplets are then dried and collected in the
particulate matter control device.
The adsorbents normally used for acid gas control are quicklime (calcium oxide), hydrated lime (calcium
hydroxide) or limestone (calcium carbonate).
Wet scrubbing systems include spray tower scrubbers, packed bed scrubbers, venturi scrubbers, moving
bed scrubbers and tray scrubbers.
Packed bed scrubbers are however the principal method used to remove gaseous atmospheric
contaminants. Due to issues associated with plugging, they are not used when particulate matter removal is
the only concern, or when a high concentration of particulate matter is present in the exhaust gases.
In a packed bed scrubber, scrubbing liquor is sprayed or poured over mass transfer packing contained in a
column above a support tray. The liquid film coats the packing through which the exhaust gas stream
passes, providing a large contact area between the gas and the liquid phases to achieve efficient gas
absorption.
The absorbent normally used for acid gas control is an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide.
19
Buonicore notes that dry scrubbing system removal efficiencies for hydrogen chloride and sulphur oxides
are only “adequate” and that wet scrubbing systems are capable of achieving the highest acid gas removal
efficiencies.
Buonicore reported acid gas removal efficiencies for a dry hydrated lime scrubber installed on a hospital
waste incinerator exhaust are:
Hydrogen fluoride 87.2% - 97%; and
Hydrogen chloride 57% - 99%.
Further data for a dry sodium bicarbonate scrubber serving a municipal waste/biomedical waste incinerator
suggests an acid gas removal efficiency of 96%.
Design data provided by a dry limestone scrubbing system supplier for a hydrogen fluoride control
application in Australia suggests the following removal efficiencies:
Hydrogen fluoride
82%;
Sulphur dioxide
20%; and
Hydrogen chloride
12%.
The above removal efficiencies are consistent with those measured by Golder Air Quality Group on a dry
limestone scrubbing system with a similar duty:

Hydrogen chloride
0%.
The USEPA notes that spray dryer adsorbers are capable of achieving acid gas removal efficiencies of 80%
or greater, whereas packed bed scrubbers are preferred when atmospheric contaminants are only slightly
20
soluble or when the gaseous atmospheric contaminant removal efficiency must be greater than 99% .
Typical acid gas removal efficiencies for packed bed scrubbers
21
are listed in Table 18.

On the basis of the above assessment, a packed bed scrubber is considered to represent both best practice
and MEA for the control of acid gas emissions, as proposed by SITA for the control of emissions to air from
the DFTD process.
The absorption of carbon dioxide in the scrubbing liquor, and the resultant sodium hydroxide consumption,
will be minimised by operation in the neutral pH range.
Mist elimination is an essential component of a packed bed scrubbing system. The DFTD process wet
chemical scrubber will have both a chevron blade mist eliminator and a polypropylene mesh pad mist
eliminator installed. Most wet scrubbing systems would have one or the other installed, consequently the
combination of both is also considered industry best practice.
5.5
Choice of Locations and Layout
It is proposed that the soil processing facility be located in the north-east corner of the SITA Taylors Road
landfill site, as shown in Figure 1 (refer Figures section). This area was selected as it provides the
maximum separation distance from the facility to the residential properties located to the east in Colemans
Road and to the south-south-east in Bayliss Road, Dandenong South.
The site layout was based on consultation between SITA and Enviropacific Services and is considered to
represent best practice. Category A and odorous soil will be stored in a building to minimise fugitive
emissions to air. Categories B and C soils will also be located within a Nissen type hut to the east of the
Category A facility, providing appropriate separation from Category A material, reducing the possibility of
incorrect material placement.
Allowance has been made for areas suitable for bioremediation of soils in the future, although this is not the
subject of the current application for works approval.

RESOURCES
The purpose of an application for Works Approval is to discuss and quantify how a proposed development
will impact on the environment. In this section, the environmental impact of the soil processing facility will be
discussed in terms of energy and water consumption and waste generation. In January 2008, EPA
introduced an Environment and Resource Efficiency Plan (EREP) program which “requires the largest
commercial users of energy and water to identify and implement actions that reduce energy and water use
22
and minimise waste” . The Taylors Road landfill does not meet the trigger requirements for entry into the

programme; however the works approval process requires SITA to demonstrate that the proposal is
environmentally sustainable. Sustainability is demonstrated through the conduct of one part of the EREP
program: preparation of a Resource Efficiency Site Assessment (RESA) as defined by the EREP toolkit,
Module 3. In its entirety this module includes, identification of an assessment team, delegation of
responsibilities, establishment of resource use and waste generating activities on site and assessment of
these, identification of resource efficiency actions, development of a plan and monitoring of the plan.
Development of a complete RESA is beyond the scope of this application; however the key RESA elements,
such as identification of resource use and waste generating activities and quantification of those will be
presented in Sections 6.1 through 6.4.
6.1
Carbon
Carbon management is the management of energy use and greenhouse gas generation. As an existing
scheduled premise, the Taylors Road Landfill must comply with the requirements stipulated in the Protocol
for Environmental Management “Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Efficiency in Industry”.
(Greenhouse PEM). The purpose of the Greenhouse PEM is to provide a mechanism for scheduled
premises to meet the greenhouse gas management requirements stated in Clause 33 of the SEPP(AQM),
and, unlike the EREP programme, the jurisdiction of the Greenhouse PEM is not limited to facilities with
energy consumption or waste generation exceeding specified trigger levels.
Greenhouse gases are those compounds that have the potential to accumulate in the atmosphere and
contribute to global climate change. In the context of the Taylors Road Landfill, the greenhouse gases of
relevance are carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. The climate change contribution of these gases
can be expressed as a global warming potential (GWP). This is a measure used to describe the global
warming potential of gases relative to the reference gas, carbon dioxide.
The GWP of the three greenhouse gases relevant to this application are reproduced in Table 19.

The Greenhouse PEM categorises greenhouse gas emissions as either energy or non-energy based.
Energy based emissions are primarily carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the burning of fuel. Nonenergy based emissions are greenhouse gas emissions resulting from on-site processes other than fuel
consumption. The emission estimates for energy and non-energy based greenhouse gas emissions are
presented as carbon dioxide equivalents. Carbon dioxide equivalency is used to represent emissions from
different greenhouse gases as the amount of carbon dioxide that would be required over a specified time
scale to achieve the same GWP.
The calculation of carbon dioxide equivalents for Taylors Road landfill was based on conversion factors
published by the Department of Climate Change for the application of the National Greenhouse and Energy
Reporting (NGER) Act. Specifically, the NGER 2008 v1.1 Technical Guidelines were applied. The final
assumption applied in the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions was that the impact of the Taylors Road
Landfill is limited to direct emissions (Scope 1) resulting from landfill operation and maintenance and indirect
emissions (Scope 2) resulting from energy use. In other words, the emission assessment was limited to the
site boundary with emissions resulting from transport or extraction and production of products used on site
excluded.

The proposed soil processing facility will result in additional greenhouse gas emissions. The processes
generating additional emissions are as follows:
Front end loader – diesel fuel combustion;
DFTD – Dryer – natural gas combustion;
DFTD – Thermal Oxidiser – natural gas combustion;
DFTD – Operating panel – electricity consumption; and
Soil Stabilisation – Hitachi Soil Recycler – diesel fuel combustion
Greenhouse gas emissions due to landfilling of processed materials and electricity consumption associated
with the building housing the soil processing facilities are considered to be negligible and have not been
considered further.
The estimated greenhouse gas emissions from the proposed soil processing facility have been calculated
using the equipment specifications and the estimated fuel usage based on 24 hours per day, 7 days per
week, 6 months of the year operation. The calculation for the DFTD natural gas consumption contains a
comparative carbon dioxide emission estimate, which was derived from emission test results at an equivalent
installation (Kurnell 2009). Carbon dioxide estimated using emission test results may include the
contribution from carbonates in the soil and has been included as a sensitivity check on calculated
emissions. The calculated greenhouse gas emissions are presented with the equipment specifications and
calculation factors for each activity in Tables 21 - 24. A summary of proposed greenhouse gas emissions
and sources is presented in Figure 10.

Figure 10: Proposed Greenhouse Gas Emissions Summary
Overall, it has been shown that existing site emissions principally comprise landfill gas resulting from
decomposing waste. By contrast, potential emissions from the soil processing facility are dominated by those
arising from natural gas combustion associated with operation of the DFTD system. The results of the carbon
assessment also indicate that the proposed energy use for all equipment items is 37 TJ which is less than
the trigger level for completion of an EREP Plan.
The energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission estimation process is also a requirement of the
Greenhouse PEM. This document contains three categories of energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emission for classification of licence holders and works approval applicants. The proposed facility will
generate 2,610 tonnes CO2-e per year, which is greater than the threshold value of 1,400 tonnes of CO2-e
emissions per year for the highest category. Once this trigger is reached “the applicant will be required to
24
identify and implement best practice with respect to the activities that are the subject of the application”.
Best practice is defined in the PEM as “the best combination of eco-efficient techniques, methods, process
or technology used in an industry sector or activity that demonstrably minimises the environmental impact of
25
a generator of emissions in that industry sector or activity”.
The proposed soil processing facility is considered to be best practice for the treatment of Categories A, B
and C soils. As noted in Section 5.2, the DFTD technology and soil stabilisation equipment has been
designed to reduce the environmental impact of Categories A, B and C soils through treatment and disposal.
The concept of best practice has also been applied to greenhouse gas emissions. As Figure 10 indicates, all
proposed greenhouse gas emissions are the result of energy consumption, therefore best practice initiatives
are based on energy saving measures.
The results of the carbon assessment indicate that natural gas consumption associated with the DFTD unit is
the major energy consumer within the proposed soil processing facility. It is not possible to eliminate this
equipment from the proposal as it enables best practice processing of Categories A, B and C soils. Nor is it
possible to substitute the fuel for a more efficient fuel as natural gas is already considered to be an efficient,
clean burning fuel. Therefore energy saving initiatives must take the form of engineering and administrative
controls.

Firstly, SITA propose to modify the DFTD unit prior to installation in order to increase the energy efficiency of
the thermal oxidiser. Heat scavengers will be installed on the ductwork between the cyclone and thermal
oxidiser to preheat the thermal oxidiser combustion air. SITA will also install thermal insulation on the
thermal oxidiser to reduce heat loss during operation. These engineering controls are custom modifications
to the proposed equipment and hence there are no projected energy saving figures or payback period
calculations associated with this initiative. It is, however, expected that the installation of insulation and heat
scavenging equipment will reduce heat loss to the environment thereby reducing natural gas consumption.
The second initiative to be investigated by SITA is a thermal oxidiser desorption temperature study. The
study will involve an input/output monitoring programme, whereby the inputs remain steady, outputs are
sampled and the operating temperature is varied to determine the minimum operating temperature required
to maintain performance. The results of the study will be used to determine if it is possible to run the process
at lower operating temperatures for different contaminants/contaminant concentrations in order to reduce
natural gas consumption.
SITA also intends to minimise electricity consumption at the proposed facility will be through ensuring newly
installed infrastructure is equipped with energy saving lights, sensor lights where appropriate and skylights.
The final energy saving initiative to be implemented at the proposed soil processing facility will be
administrative controls associated with operation of the facility. SITA will develop an Environmental
Management Plan as described in the EREP Toolkit, Module 2. The plan will provide a management strategy
for efficient use of the soil processing facility. Initiatives to be explored and implemented in the plan, if
appropriate, are as follows:
Batching versus continuous operation. If it is demonstrated that batch processing followed by
equipment shutdown is more efficient than continuous operation a batch processing management
system will be implemented which includes a minimum batch size and allowance for energy consumed
during start up/cool down phases;
Electricity management; and
Diesel consumption. The plan will investigate opportunities for reducing diesel consumption.
Lastly, in a commitment to continual improvement, the management plan will be reviewed and revised on an
annual basis. The review will include an assessment of “current best practice” as best practice is not a static
concept.
6.2
Water Use
The water objectives of the Environment Protection Act, 1970 are detailed in the State Environment
Protection Policy (Waters of Victoria). (SEPP(WoV)). This policy defines the parameters around water use
and quality in order to “protect the specified beneficial users of the surface waters”. In terms of water usage,
the policy stipulates in Clause 23 that “industrial and trade processes shall be undertaken in such a manner
that the generation of wastes is minimised.” Further to this, the Environment Protection Policy (Environment
and Resource Efficiency Plans) Regulations 2007, require that “water saving practices are implemented to
ensure a sustainable water supply”.
Mains water is used in the existing operations at Taylors Road for amenities located in the main office and
contractor facilities. Other water uses on site such as dust suppression and wheel washing make use of
stormwater captured and contained on site.
The average volume of mains water used for existing operations is 2,854 L/day. (average of 2008 - 2009).
Water will be used in the DFTD process evaporative cooler, soil conditioning system and wet chemical
scrubber.

The projected water usage was calculated by the equipment supplier as 23 – 30 L/min for the evaporative
cooler, 19 L/min for the soil conditioning system and 0.3 – 1.5 L/min for the wet scrubber. Assuming the
maximum water usage for each item, the projected water usage for the proposed development will be 50.5
L/min, equating to 13 ML per year. This figure assumes a plant operating time of 24 hours per day and 7
days per week for six months of the year.
Given the quantity of water consumed by the DFTD process, SITA intends to implement best practice water
management strategies. Currently stormwater collected on site is stored, used where required and then
discharged to Eumemmering Creek. Section 7.2 details this process. It is proposed that accumulated
stormwater be used as process water for the DFTD. In the past three years a total of 131 ML of water has
been discharged to Eumemmering Creek, despite the recent drought conditions. An overview of discharges
in this period is provided in Figure 11.

As the figure demonstrates, the discharge volume is relatively constant with at least eight discharge events
per year releasing an average of 5 ML per event. The overview for the three years indicates that at least 34
ML was discharged each year, far in excess of the 13 ML required for DFTD process equipment operation.
It is proposed that the soil processing facility be equipped with sufficient water tank storage for two days
operation. Additionally the tanks will be connected to the roof of the soil storage buildings to enable capture
of rainwater. The storage tanks will be filled on an as needs basis using water piped from the Duck Pond.
Where the Duck Pond does not have sufficient water to meet the requirements of the DFTD, mains water will
be used to supplement the supply.
The use of stormwater as process water is a significant best practice innovation. This initiative makes use of
existing infrastructure and resources to reduce the impact of the proposed development and, in accordance
with the requirements of the SEPP(WoV), ensures a sustainable water supply.
The proposed works do not trigger the water use threshold requirements for completion of an EREP.

Solid Waste
Solid wastes that are not classified as prescribed industrial wastes consist of non-contaminated waste items.
The proposed soil processing facility will not generate significant volumes of solid waste. The facility will be
located within an existing premise and therefore current solid waste streams such as general refuse will not
increase significantly with this development. Where possible, any solid waste generated from the proposed
facility will be recycled, otherwise solid waste will be disposed to landfill. The volume of solid waste
generated will not exceed the 100 tonne/year trigger level.
6.4
Prescribed Industrial Waste
Prescribed industrial waste is defined in the Environment Protection (Industrial Waste Resource) Regulations
as “any industrial waste or mixture containing industrial waste other than industrial waste or a mixture
containing industrial waste that:
is a Schedule 1 industrial waste;
has a direct beneficial reuse and has been consigned for use; or
is an exempt material or is not a Category A waste, Category B waste or Category C waste.”
The purpose of the Environment Protection (Industrial Waste Resource) Regulations is to provide a
mechanism for industry to achieve the objectives of the Environment Protection Act 1970, which in essence
requires industry to implement the principles of the waste hierarchy. The proposed soil processing facility
adopts this principle. The soil processing facility will enable SITA to process Categories A, B and C soils
which, by definition, are regarded as contaminated, with management options limited to on or off site
remediation and storage prior to treatment. Disposal to landfill for Category A soils is not an option. This
facility will enable waste producers to meet Clause 9(1) of the regulations and treat/process waste which
cannot be avoided, reduced, reused or recycled. The end product of the process may still be classified as a
prescribed industrial waste, Categories B or C, or as non-prescribed industrial waste, and be classified as Fill
Material. Management options for these solid wastes are significantly greater than for Category A soil.
As previously described the proposed soil processing facility has two components; stabilisation and DFTD.
The output from each process will be dependent on the input material and type and duration of processing.
Overall three types of solid waste will be generated. These are Category B soil, Category C soil and Fill
Material.
Category B soils are those which, according to the EPA guidelines “Soil Hazard Categorisation and
Management“, are contaminated with any contaminant level greater than TC1, but below TC2 or greater than
ASLP1 but below ASLP2. Similarly Category C soils are those which have contaminant levels greater than
TC0, but below the TC1 and ASLP1 thresholds. Lastly, soils with all contaminant levels less than the TC0
threshold are classified as clean fill.
SITA propose to deposit Category B and C soils from the soil processing facility directly into the existing
prescribed waste Cell 12C at the Taylors Road Landfill. Alternatively, clean fill that is generated will be used
for cell capping on-site or off-site at rehabilitation projects conducted by SITA.
The volume of prescribed industrial waste processed by DFTD and soil stabilisation is 60,000 tonnes per
year, based on the expected throughput of the facility.
Additionally, the soil processing facility will generate prescribed industrial waste from the activated carbon
bed adsorption system attached to the DFTD. Spent carbon may contain VOCs, SVOCs and mercury. The
volume of waste generated from this process will be dependent on the level of soil contamination, type of
contaminants, DFTD equipment destruction efficiency and facility throughput. For example, predictive
modelling suggests that continuous treatment of 5 mg/kg mercury contaminated soil will generate one tonne
of spent carbon per month.

EMISSION IMPACTS
Air Emissions
Air quality impacts are governed by the requirements stipulated in the State Environment Protection Policy
(Air Quality Management) (SEPP(AQM)). The objectives of the SEPP(AQM) are to manage emissions to the
air environment such that beneficial uses are protected. Relevant to this application, the policy seeks to
achieve these objectives through requiring proponents of new sources to minimise their operational impact
through appropriate design. The air quality impact of the proposed soil processing facility is assessed in the
following sections with an examination of existing emissions in Section 7.1.1 and proposed emissions in
Section 7.1.2. The best practice management aspects of air emissions are presented in Section 7.1.3.
Finally, assessment of the proposed emissions is presented as a plume dispersion modelling assessment in
Section 7.1.4.
7.1.1
Existing Air Emissions
Emissions to air from the existing Taylors Road Landfill primarily consist of odour and particulate matter.
Odour has the potential to be emitted from a number of sources at the landfill facility with the largest potential
source being decomposing putrescible waste. Odour may be emitted from the waste delivered to site and
when it is applied to the active cell; when old burial sites are reopened; when waste cells are joined or when
daily cover is removed. Fugitive odour emissions may also arise from cells with insufficient or damaged
cover. Further fugitive emissions may result from gas wells or the methane extraction system. It is expected
that odorous gas may contain atmospheric contaminants such as methane, hydrogen sulphide, mercaptans
and VOCs. Other potential odour sources include the waste water treatment plant, in particular emissions to
air due to aeration of the pre-treatment ponds, operation of the anoxic tank and sludge removal.
Particulate matter emission sources at the landfill consist of dust generated from the application of daily
cover to active cells and as a result of excavation and earthworks associated with landfill management.
Particulate matter fractions generated from these activities include total suspended particulate matter (TSP)
and deposited dust (insoluble solids fraction), as well as the finer fractions, PM10 and PM2.5.
Odour and particulate matter emissions resulting from existing site operations have been quantified based
on results of historical monitoring programmes conducted at the landfill site.
Particulate matter sampling has been conducted in two forms at Taylors Road. Firstly, directional dust (total
solids) monitoring has been conducted at the site boundaries since July 2001. The monitoring programme
consists of six directional dust gauges located on site to passively collect dust from a particular quadrant.
Directional dust gauges consist of four cylinders each with an opening oriented to one of the four cardinal
points (north, east, south and west). Particulate matter from the air column is collected in the cylinders with
any rain water from the monthly exposure period. Collected particulate matter is analysed in accordance with
Australian Standard AS3580.10.1 “Determination of Particulate Matter—Deposited Matter”. The purpose of
directional dust gauges is to provide an indication of the direction from which dust is originating, with results
typically expressed in terms of % dust for each quadrant. Directional dust gauges do not provide a dust
deposition rate for the exposure period. Therefore the results from the on-going monitoring programme can
be used to assess the sources of dust around the landfill site. The results for the period December 2003 to
September 2009 have been compiled for each monitoring location and presented as a pie chart, indicating
the percentage mass over the study period for each quadrant (north, south east and west)(Figure 12).

Figure 13: Directional Dust Gauge Locations and Results Overlay
Overall the directional dust results indicate that there is no cardinal point on any of the boundaries that
significantly dominates. The north cylinder located on the southern boundary collected 40% of the deposited
matter over the 6 year study period, indicating that dust generated from the landfill may be impacting at this
location, however the east canister also collected a significant portion of dust during this period (30%). The
three samplers on the western boundary indicated similar results, with the east cylinders, facing the landfill,
collecting a comparable amount of dust to the west cylinders facing away from the landfill.
The second component of particulate matter sampling at Taylors Road was PM10 sampling conducted during
th
th
the period 24 January - 10 April 2003. The sampling programme consisted of two high volume samplers
(HVS) equipped with PM10 size selective inlets located upwind and downwind of the active tipping face. The
high volume samplers were also equipped with an anemometer and interface system, enabling the samplers
to be activated when ambient wind conditions triggered predefined sampling conditions. In this programme,
the trigger wind conditions were: 10 minute rolling average wind direction between ≥125°and ≤190°. The
trigger wind conditions and sample locations were based on an analysis of the predominant wind direction
during the sample months. The sample locations for this monitoring programme are displayed in Figure 14,
with the results displayed in Figure 15.

the report authors noting that during the sample period regional ambient air quality had been compromised
by events such as bushfires and a severe dust storm. In summary the PM10 results indicate that downwind
impacts from the active tipping face were limited, with off site sources and events having a significantly
greater effect on air quality.

Odour emissions from the proposed site have also been quantified using the results of historical monitoring
programmes. EPA Waste Discharge Licence No. ES511 conditions 3.20, 3.21, 3.22, 3.23 and 3.24 stipulate
routine sampling of gas monitoring bores for a number of contaminants including odour. Gas monitoring
bores are capped and sealed to prevent fugitive emissions, however the wells are vented during monitoring
to enable sample collection. Hence odour results are used as an indicator of odour concentration inside the
wells, but not to determine a rate of discharge from the source. Additionally, ambient odour sampling is
conducted at the landfill on a routine basis. This involves collection of an ambient air sample downwind of an
odour generating activity. The air sample is analysed for odour concentration in accordance with
Australian/New Zealand Standard AS4323.3, “Determination of Odour Concentration by Dynamic
Olfactometry”. All ambient odour sampling undertaken at Taylors Road Landfill since 2004 has occurred
downwind of the leachate holding lagoons and landfill Cell 1. The results of the monitoring programme for
the period January 2004 to January 2009 are presented in Figure 16.

7.1.2
Proposed Air Emissions
Emissions to air from the proposed DFTD process will result from thermal destruction of the contaminant
VOCs and SVOCs, soil entrainment, soil mineral decomposition, natural gas products of combustion and
products of incomplete combustion. Quantification of proposed emissions to air has been conducted using
the results from a soil remediation project conducted in Kurnell, New South Wales, utilising the Enviropacific
Services DFTD equipment. As previously noted, the Kurnell thermal oxidiser operated at 1,000°C and the
DFTD process was not equipped with an activated carbon bed following the wet chemical scrubber.
Operation at 1,100°C and installation of an activated carbon bed control system represent process
enhancements that are proposed for the SITA Soil Processing Facility to achieve MEA control of Class Three
indicators. Estimation of emissions without these enhancements is considered a worst case assessment,
conducted for the purpose of assessing the proposal against the criteria contained within SEPP (AQM)
Schedule A.

APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Dioxins/furans; and
Heavy metals.
Methods used to estimate emission rates for each of the atmospheric contaminants are described below.
Particulate Matter
The reported concentration of total solid particulate matter in the exhaust gases measured at Kurnell in
3
February 2009 was less than the test method limit of detection (<0.02 mg/Nm ). (refer Appendix G) This is
considered a low result in comparison with typical data for fabric filtration applications.
Available DFTD emission test data from an equivalent installation would suggest concentrations in the range
3
2.7 – 12 mg/Nm , consistent with typical baghouse data. To enable a conservative assessment a total solid
3
particulate matter concentration of 30 mg/Nm has been assumed. Based on a dry exhaust gas flow rate of
3
97 Nm /min (refer Appendix G), the corresponding total solid particulate matter mass rate of emission would
therefore be 0.049 g/s.
Given that the exhaust gases will be treated by fabric filtration and wet chemical scrubbing prior to discharge
to atmosphere, total solid particulate matter, PM10 and PM2.5 mass emission rates should be similar.
Consequently the PM10 and PM2.5 emission rates have been conservatively assumed to be equal to the total
solid particulate matter emission rate.
Carbon Monoxide
The Kurnell emission test results (refer Appendix G) indicate that carbon monoxide was not detected in the
DFTD treatment exhaust gases.
Available DFTD emission test data from an equivalent installation would also suggest very low
3
concentrations up to a maximum of 4 mg/Nm , due to the high combustion temperature and extended
3
residence time in the thermal oxidiser chamber. A concentration of 50 mg/Nm has therefore been
conservatively assumed, corresponding to a mass emission rate of 0.081 g/s.
Oxides of Nitrogen
The Kurnell emission test results (refer Appendix G) indicate a total oxides of nitrogen (NOx) concentration of
3
105 mg/Nm (as NO2 equivalents).
Available DFTD emission test data from an equivalent installation would suggest NOx concentrations in the
3
3
range 250 – 340 mg/Nm . A concentration of 500 mg/Nm has therefore been conservatively assumed,
corresponding to a mass emission rate of 0.81 g/s.
The NO2 emission rate was assumed to be 20% of the NOx emission rate. For most natural gas combustion
sources NO2 would typically represent only 5% or less of NOx (Kurnell data would suggest 0.1%). Allowing
for some transformation of NO to NO2 in the near field would still suggest that this is an extremely
conservative assumption.
Sulphur Dioxide/Sulphur Trioxide
The worst case sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide/sulphuric acid emission rates can be calculated by mass
balance based on the following:
Soil feed rate of 3 tph;
Soil moisture content of 14%w/w;
Soil sulphur content of 500 mg/kg;
Soil sulphur loss of 50%;
Wet chemical scrubber removal efficiency of 99%; and
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
60
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Sulphur trioxide as 10% of sulphur emitted.
On this basis the emission rates are 0.0032 g/s SO2 and 0.00055 g/s SO3 (as H2SO4).
Hydrogen Chloride
The worst case hydrogen chloride emission rate can be calculated by mass balance based on the following
assumptions:
Soil feed rate of 3 tph;
Soil moisture content of 14%w/w;
Soil chloride content of 500 mg/kg;
Soil chloride loss of 50%;
Maximum PCBs concentration of 10,000 mg/kg;
PCBs chlorine content of 60%w/w;
100% PCBs destruction; and
Wet chemical scrubber removal efficiency of 99%.
On this basis the hydrogen chloride emission rate is 0.046 g/s.
The soil chloride content and percentage loss resulting from soil heating to approximately 550°C in the rotary
dryer are not known. However, Golder Air Quality Group data for clay mineral decomposition over a range of
firing temperatures would suggest that the assumed values are conservatively high.
Hydrogen Fluoride
The worst case hydrogen fluoride emission rate can be calculated by mass balance based on the following:
Soil feed rate of 3 tph;
Soil moisture content of 14%w/w;
Soil fluoride content of 1,000 mg/kg;
Soil fluoride loss of 20%; and
Wet chemical scrubber removal efficiency of 99%.
On this basis the hydrogen fluoride emission rate is 0.0015 g/s.
Golder Air Quality Group data for clay mineral decomposition over a range of firing temperatures would
suggest that a soil fluoride loss of 20% is conservatively high. Fluorine containing minerals typically do not
commence thermal decomposition until soil temperatures exceed 600°C.
VOCs
3
The Kurnell emission test results (refer Appendix G) indicate a total VOCs concentration of 0.89 mg/Nm (as
n-hexane equivalents) when expressed at 7%O2, however this was during treatment of SVOCs contaminated
soil, not VOCs.
Design criteria for air quality modelling purposes are contained in Schedule A of the SEPP(AQM). As
indicated by the 3 minute average design criteria contained in Table 25, benzene represents the worst case
scenario with respect to the range of VOCs typically present in contaminated soils.

Thermal oxidiser destruction efficiency of 99.99%; and
Activated carbon removal efficiency of 0%..
-5
On this basis the benzene emission rate is 7.2 x 10 g/s.
PCBs
Environment Canada suggests that thermal destruction of PCBs at a high temperature and with an extended
residence time results in a 99.9999% destruction efficiency.
Available DFTD soil and emission test data from an equivalent PCB soil remediation installation suggests a
destruction efficiency of 99.9997%.
The Kurnell PCBs congener emission test data and soil test data (refer Appendix G) suggest that:
The feed soil PCBs concentration was approximately 170 mg/kg during the period corresponding to the
emission tests;
The processed soil concentration was below the test method limit of detection, 0.1 mg/kg; and
-8
The PCBs emission rate was 2.1 x 10 g/s.
Based on a 3 tph throughput the calculated PCBs destruction efficiency is greater than 99.99998%, however
in this instance the total congener result may not reflect the total PCBs value, therefore overestimating the
efficiency.

Based on a maximum PCBs concentration of 10,000 mg/kg in contaminated soil and a conservative
destruction efficiency of 99.99%, the calculated PCBs emission rate is 0.00072 g/s. This approach
conservatively assumes zero removal efficiency due to activated carbon adsorption.
PAHs
As noted for PCBs, the destruction efficiency for PAHs would be expected to be greater than 99.9999%.
EPA has previously clarified that the SEPP(AQM) Schedule A Class 3 design criterion for PAH (as BaP) of
3
0.00073 mg/m refers to benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) only.
Based on a maximum BaP concentration of 1,000 mg/kg for contaminated soil and a conservative
-5
destruction efficiency of 99.99%, the calculated BaP emission rate is 7.2 x 10 g/s. This approach
conservatively assumes zero removal efficiency due to activated carbon adsorption.
Organochlorine Pesticides
Again, as noted for both PCBs and PAHs, the destruction efficiency for organochlorine pesticides (OCPs)
would be expected to be greater than 99.9999%.
Based on a maximum OCPs concentration of 5,000 mg/kg for contaminated soil and a conservative
destruction efficiency of 99.99%, the calculated OCPs emission rate is 0.00036 g/s. This approach
conservatively assumes zero removal efficiency due to activated carbon adsorption.
Dioxins/Furans
Worst case dioxin/furan emissions to air from the DFTD process can not be estimated based on mass
balance techniques or destruction efficiency calculations.
3
Compliance with a dioxins/furans emission concentration of 0.1 ng I-TEQ/Nm at 11% O2 is considered best
practice both in Australia and internationally. Expression as I-TEQ provides a single value relative to the
most toxic congener, 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8 TCDD).
Kurnell emission test data (refer Appendix G) indicates a lower bound (excludes limit of detection values)
3
concentration of 0.00051 ng/Nm and a middle bound (includes half limit of detection values) concentration
3
3
of 0.0031 ng/Nm , both expressed at 11%O2. Compliance with a concentration limit of 0.1 ng I-TEQ/Nm is
therefore readily indicated.
3
For the SITA air quality impact assessment a dioxins/furans concentration of 0.1 ng I-TEQ/Nm at 11% O2,
3
an exhaust gas flow rate of 97 Nm /min (dry) at 14.3% O2 and an exhaust gas moisture content of 33%v/v
have been assumed.
-10
On this basis the dioxins/furans emission rate is 1.1 x 10 g I-TEQ/s. This approach conservatively
assumes zero removal efficiency due to activated carbon adsorption.
Heavy Metals
Soils contaminated with heavy metals have the potential to contain organotin compounds, cadmium,
chromium VI and mercury. However the majority of heavy metals present in contaminated soil have high
boiling points and consequently will not be volatilized in the desorber to any significant degree. Elemental
mercury however has a boiling point of 357°C and is therefore likely to be completely volatilized if present in
the soil.
Mercury and mercury compound emissions to air will be controlled to a degree by fabric filtration, wet
2+
chemical scrubbing and activated carbon, however tests conducted at coal fired utilities suggest that Hg
0
captured by a wet scrubber can be chemically reduced and re-emitted as Hg .
Consequently SITA has determined that soils contaminated with mercury will not be processed by thermal
desorption. A maximum acceptance concentration of 15 mg/kg has been set.
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
63
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
The worst case mercury emission rate was calculated based on the following:
Soil feed rate of 3 tph;
Soil moisture content of 14%w/w;
Soil mercury content of 15 mg/kg;
Soil mercury loss of 100%;
Fabric filter and wet chemical scrubber removal efficiency of 0%; and
A conservatively low activated carbon removal efficiency of 67%, in the absence of operational data for
this process enhancement.
On this basis the mercury emission rate is 0.0036 g/s.
Previous experience with DFTD equipment has shown that other heavy metals are unlikely to be detected at
concentrations in the exhaust gases above the test method limit of detection, being present in the entrained
particulate matter nominally at the same concentrations as in the feed soil. The air quality impact
assessment has consequently been restricted to mercury.
The outcomes of the atmospheric contaminant emission estimation process are summarized in Table 26:

Impact on Air Quality
The SEPP(AQM) contains a framework and criteria for the assessment of emissions to air from new or
modified emission sources using a plume dispersion model. Emissions to air from the DFTD exhaust stack

Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0

APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
located at the proposed soil processing facility were assessed in accordance with this framework, with the
details presented in the following sections.
The Model
The AUSPLUME mathematical model is a regulatory model used in assessing the dispersal of industrial
source emissions to air.
The SEPP(AQM) requires the prediction of maximum concentrations for an individual source, or group of
sources, to be undertaken using either a currently approved version of AUSPLUME, or an alternative model
approved in writing by EPA.
AUSPLUME Version 6.0 was the model used in this assessment.
Assumptions made in the application of the model included the following:
Roughness height of 0.4 m was assumed;
Plume buoyancy effects were considered;
Pasquill-Gifford formulae were adjusted for roughness height;
Building wake effects were assessed using the Prime building wake algorithm; and
Terrain effects were considered using the Egan half height method.
Meteorological data
The model requires the following hourly meteorological data for a one year period:
Atmospheric stability (Pasquill class);
Mixing depth;
Wind speed;
Wind direction; and
Temperature.
The SEPP(AQM) requires that the meteorological data be representative of meteorological conditions within
the vicinity of the site, as approved by EPA.
The 2002 meteorological file for Dandenong was utilised in this assessment. It should be noted that this file
is incomplete with only 8,088 observations of the possible 8,760 observations.
The suitability of this file was assessed through comparison with meteorological data collected at the Taylors
Road Landfill from a cup and vane anemometer located on a 10 m mast near to the A-ACAP test cell,
between Cells 10 and 11. The on-site anemometer is located approximately 200 m south of the proposed
Soil Processing Facility.
An analysis of the dominant wind directions at the proposed site was conducted by creating a frequency
distribution of wind speed and wind direction for the Dandenong 2002 meteorological file and historical 2005
data from the on-site anemometer. Wind roses were then generated for both frequency distributions. The
Dandenong 2002 meteorological file wind rose is presented in Figure 17 and the on-site meteorological
station wind rose in Figure 18. Results demonstrate that both data sets consist of similar wind patterns, with
predominant northerly winds. Therefore use of the EPA meteorological file is considered appropriate for the
air quality impact assessment.

Model Input Data
The required model input data for the DFTD exhaust stack includes the following:
Source co-ordinates;
Exhaust gas velocity;
Exhaust gas temperature;
Source diameter;
Discharge height about ground level;
Dimensions of influencing buildings; and
Atmospheric contaminant emission rate.
The model input data for the DFTD exhaust stack is based on the Kurnell equipment which operates without
an activated carbon bed. The carbon bed outlet attached to the DFTD system, as proposed for the Taylors
Road Landfill, will be equipped with a stack discharge with exhaust gas characteristics similar to those
presented in the modelling assessment. The model input data is presented in Table 27.

Background Concentration
Background concentrations are used in AUSPLUME to estimate the contribution of other sources in the area,
in addition to those being modelled. The main additional source of atmospheric contaminants in the vicinity
of the Taylors Road Facility is motor vehicle traffic. A constant background concentration for carbon
monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, PM10 and PM2.5 was included in the modelling assessment.
th
Background concentrations were obtained from EPA and represent the 70 percentile of one year’s
observed hourly concentrations, in accordance with SEPP (AQM). The background concentrations used in
the modelling assessment are presented in Table 28.

Building Downwash
Building downwash occurs when aerodynamic turbulence, induced by buildings, causes an atmospheric
contaminant emitted from an elevated source to be mixed rapidly toward the ground, resulting in higher
ground level concentrations.
To evaluate the occurrence of building downwash, the position and dimensions of each structure relative to
each source must be identified for each of the possible directions of wind flow.
Buildings that are within an area of 5L from the source, where L is the lesser of the building height or
projected building width, should be considered for downwash effects.
AUSPLUME V6.0 provides the PRIME algorithm which was used to determine building downwash effects.
Influencing building dimensions were calculated using site plans and building elevation projections.
The PRIME algorithm requires the height and co-ordinates of each building corner. When a building does not
have a uniform shape, geometric approximations are used to represent each segment/tier of the structure.
The treatment building, Category B and C storage building and the pre-processing shed were the only
buildings relevant to the modelling assessment.
Model Receptors
A Cartesian receptor grid consisting of 60 m spacing was utilised in this assessment. The grid domain
extends from Australian Map Grid (AMG) co-ordinate, 343312, 5786414 in the south-west to 346612,
5789354 in the north-east. In practical terms the receptor grid encompasses the industrial park to the north
of the landfill, industrial land to the south and west and some of the Hampton Park and Lynbrook residential
areas in the east.
A terrain file was established for this grid with heights above datum calculated for each receptor.
A representation of the terrain file used in this assessment is presented in Figure 19.

Model Output Data
For each atmospheric contaminant, the AUSPLUME model predicts the one hour average concentration at
each receptor specified for each hour of the year’s meteorological data. The highest ground level
concentration is established for each hour and is referred to as the peak hourly concentration.
th
The maximum predicted ground level concentration (GLC) is defined as the 99.9 percentile value, or the 8
highest of the 8,088 peak hourly concentrations.
Two models were prepared for each atmospheric contaminant emitted from the proposed facility. The first
model contained gridded and discrete receptors with the model output used to determine the maximum
predicted ground level concentration at any location on the grid. The second model only contained discrete
receptors, with output used to show the maximum predicted ground level concentration at the nearest
sensitive receptor. A summary of models assessed is presented in Table 30.

The maximum predicted ground level concentration for the gridded and discrete receptor models is
compared to the SEPP(AQM) Schedule A design criteria. However the SEPP(AQM) does not list any OCPs
or PCBs as Class 2 or Class 3 indicators, consequently an assessment is required to establish appropriate
design criteria for modelling applications.
OCPs
Table 31 lists OCPs together with their USEPA carcinogen classification, International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) carcinogen classification and Safe Work Australia (SWA) recommended workplace
exposure standard.
OCPs examined have been based on:
Compounds classified as such by the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation
Council (ANZECC) in their July 1999 publication, "Organochlorine Pesticides Waste Management
Plan";
OCP breakdown products DDD, DDE, heptachlor epoxide, endrin aldehyde, endrin ketone and
oxychlordane; and
OCPs listed for analysis under USEPA Method SW-846 Method 8081, "Organochlorine Pesticides".
Carcinogen classifications are defined as follows:
USEPA Group A – Human Carcinogen
This group is used only when there is sufficient evidence from epidemiological studies to support a causal
association between exposure to the agents and cancer.
USEPA Group B – Probable Human Carcinogen
This group includes agents for which the weight of evidence of human carcinogenicity based on
epidemiological studies is "limited" and also includes agents for which the weight of evidence of
carcinogenicity based on animal studies is "sufficient". The group is divided into two subgroups. Group B1 is
reserved for agents for which there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity from epidemiological studies. Group
B2 is used for agents for which there is sufficient: evidence from animal studies and for which there is
inadequate evidence or no data from epidemiological studies.
USEPA Group C – Possible Human Carcinogen
This group is used for agents with limit evidence of carcinogenicity in animals in the absence of human data.
USEPA Group D – Not Classifiable as to Human Carcinogenicity
This group is generally used for agents with inadequate human and animal evidence of carcinogenicity or for
which no data are available.
USEPA Group E – Evidence of Non-Carcinogenicity for Humans
This group is used for agents that show no evidence for carcinogenicity in at least two adequate animal tests
in different species or in both adequate epidemiological and animal studies.
IARC Group 1
The agent is carcinogenic to humans.
IARC Group 2A
The agent is probably carcinogenic to humans.
IARC Group 2B
The agent is possibly carcinogenic to humans.

IARC Group 3
The agent is not classifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans.
Class 3 indicators under the SEPP (AQM) are defined as extremely hazardous substances that are
carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, highly toxic or highly persistent, and which may threaten the beneficial
uses of the air environment.
Class 2 indicators are defined as hazardous substances that may threaten the beneficial uses of the air
environment by virtue of their toxicity, bioaccumulation or odorous characteristics.
In most circumstances, substances are listed as Class 3 indicators because of their classification as USEPA
Group A or B1 carcinogens or IARC Group 1 or 2A carcinogens.
As indicated in Table 31, the highest carcinogen classifications for the OCP listed are USEPA Group B2 and
IARC Group 2B.
On this basis, the compounds would be considered Class 2 indicators. A number of OCPs, however, are
considered extremely persistent in the environment (e.g. DDT, dieldrin and BHC).
On this basis, it has been conservatively assumed that OCPs as a class of compounds are Class 3
indicators.
To determine the design criteria, a factor of 300 is applied to the SWA workplace exposure standard. This is
based on an allowance for 24 hour exposure, rather than an 8 hour workday, a factor of 10 to protect the
more vulnerable members of the community, and a further safety factor of 10.
The lowest recommended workplace exposure standard for OCPs is 0.1 mg/m³, consequently the derived
design criterion for OCPs is 0.33 µg/m³ (3 minute average).
PCBs
Schedule A of SEPP(AQM) does not list PCBs as Class 2 or Class 3 indicators, consequently an
assessment is again required to establish appropriate design criteria for modelling applications.
PCBs are IARC Group 2A carcinogens and USEPA Group B2 carcinogens. On the basis of the IARC
classification, PCBs would be considered Class 3 indicators.
SWA workplace exposure standards for PCBs are as follows:
3
42% chlorine content:
1 mg/m ;
54% chlorine content:
0.5 mg/m .
3
Applying the factor of 300 noted above to the lowest workplace exposure standard suggests an assessment
3
criterion of 0.0017 mg/m (3 minute average).
Model Assessment Results
The maximum predicted ground level concentrations (GLCs) for each of the atmospheric contaminants are
displayed in Table 32. Model output files are contained in Appendix H.
Isopleth plots of the maximum predicted ground level concentrations for each atmospheric contaminant are

SEPP (AQM) Compliance
The modelling assessment results indicate that all modelled atmospheric contaminants comply with
SEPP(AQM) design criteria and derived design criteria at all locations on the grid when modelled using worst
case scenario input data. In summary the worst case aspects of the modelling assessment were as follows:
A constant emission rate was assumed for all atmospheric contaminants over the full year;
The PM10 emission rate was assumed to equal the total solid particulate matter emission rate;
A conservative nitrogen dioxide emission rate was assumed, which was greater than the emission rate
measured at an equivalent installation. Further, it was conservatively assumed that 20% of the total
oxides of nitrogen were emitted as nitrogen dioxide, whereas it is more likely to be 5% or less;
The hydrogen chloride emission rate assumed a scrubber removal efficiency of 99%. It is anticipated
that the actual scrubber removal efficiency will be greater than 99%;
The hydrogen fluoride emission rate assumed a scrubber removal efficiency of 99%. It is anticipated
that the actual scrubber removal efficiency will be greater than 99%;
The benzene emission rate assumed worst case soil benzene content as well as a conservative thermal
oxidiser destruction efficiency of 99.99%. It is anticipated that the actual thermal oxidiser destruction
efficiency will be 99.9999%;
The PCBs emission rate assumed a worst case soil PCBs content as well as a conservative thermal
oxidiser destruction efficiency of 99.99%. It is anticipated that the actual thermal oxidiser destruction
efficiency will be 99.9999%;
The PAHs emission rate assumed a worst case soil BaP content as well as a conservative thermal
oxidiser destruction efficiency of 99.99%. It is anticipated that the actual thermal oxidiser destruction
efficiency will be 99.9999%;
The OCPs emission rate assumed a worst case soil OCPs content as well as a conservative thermal
oxidiser destruction efficiency of 99.99%. It is anticipated that the actual thermal oxidiser destruction
efficiency will be 99.9999%;
The dioxins/furans emission rate was based on an in-stack concentration equal to the best practice
3
concentration of 0.1 ng/Nm (I-TEQ), rather than the expected in-stack concentrations which are
anticipated to be significantly less;
The mercury emission rate was based on the maximum soil mercury content to be processed by the
DFTD equipment;
The derivation of the OCPs design criterion was based on a worst case evaluation; and
A conservative estimate for the particulate matter emission rate was assumed, which was greater than
the emission rate measured at an equivalent installation;
The PM2.5 emission rate was assumed to equal the total solid particulate matter emission rate;
A conservative carbon monoxide emission rate was assumed, which was greater than the emission rate
measured at an equivalent installation;
The modelling assessment did not include provision for process DFTD enhancements proposed for the
Soil Processing Facility, eg operation of the thermal oxidiser at 1,100°C and the effectiveness of the
activated carbon bed for VOCs/SVOCs control (assumed to be zero).

Furthermore, in addition to worst case inputs the modelling was conducted such that maximum predicted
ground level concentrations could occur at any location on the modelling domain. Examination of the isopleth
plots indicates that the isopleths representing the maximum GLCs fall immediately to the north-east of the
DFTD stack within the boundary of the landfill site. Maximum predicted ground level concentrations at the
modelled discrete receptors and residential developments of Lyndhurst and Hampton Park are significantly
less. Finally, the maximum predicted ground level concentrations were calculated as a percentage of the
SEPP(AQM) design criteria and derived design criteria to demonstrate the safety margin between the criteria
and model predictions. The results of this analysis are presented in Table 33. The results show that the
SEPP(AQM) Class 1 and Class 2 substances with background concentrations included in the model, such
as PM10, PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide, showed the smallest safety margins between the maximum predicted
GLCs and the design criteria for both the gridded and discrete receptor results. The OCPs and mercury
results also showed a relatively reduced safety margin with 36% of the design criteria for the gridded results
and 12% of the criteria at the discrete receptors. The remaining atmospheric contaminants, including the
Class 3 compound benzene, demonstrated GLC results less than 20% of the design criteria for gridded
results and less than 5% at the discrete receptors.

The final component of SEPP(AQM) compliance relates to the management of emissions from stationary
sources. In addition to demonstrating compliance with modelling criteria, proponents of new or modified
sources must demonstrate compliance with Schedule E “Emission Limits for New Stationary Sources in Air
Quality Control Regions”.
The relevant limits are reproduced in Table 34 together with the estimated DFTD process exhaust
atmospheric contaminant concentrations.

Discharges to Surface Water
Surface water discharges are defined as releases of waste water to a water body such as an ocean, river or
creek. Surface water discharges must be controlled and discharged in accordance with the objectives of the
State Environment Protection Policy (Waters of Victoria) (SEPP(WoV)). Wastewater at the Taylors Road
landfill is defined as either leachate or stormwater. Leachate is collected, treated and discharged to sewer in
accordance with Trade Waste Agreement 1899, Reference 8 held with South East Water Limited (SEWL)
whilst stormwater/groundwater is collected, used on site and, where required, discharged to Eumemmerring
Creek in accordance with EPA Licence ES511.
Details concerning the management of both leachate and stormwater at the facility are presented in the
following sections.
7.2.1
Leachate Management
Leachate is collected in seventeen sumps located across the landfill site, servicing each of the waste cells.
Two of these sumps, 12A and 12B, are located in the prescribed waste Cells 12A and 12B which are the
subject of the proposed development. Leachate sump locations are presented in Figure 37. Leachate from
all sumps, including those located in the proposed soil processing facility, will continue to be managed in
accordance with the requirements of the SITA Environmental Monitoring Manual (MAN010). This process
involves transfer of leachate from collection sumps to the 50kL balance tanks for storage prior to Sequencing

Batch Reactor (SBR) treatment or to Ponds C and D for ammonia stripping. Ponds C and D are each
equipped with 22kW aerators which are used to air strip ammonia from the leachate.
For SBR treatment, leachate is transferred from the balance tanks via underground piping to the anaerobic
tank, with surplus flowing on to the aerobic tank. Leachate is recycled between these vessels throughout the
process until treatment is completed.
The first stage of SBR treatment is the aeration cycle where leachate in the aerobic tank is subject to
aeration and biological nitrification. The Nitrosomonas spp bacteria converts ammonia to nitrite which is then
converted to nitrate by the Nitrobacter spp bacteria. The overall reaction describing nitrification is as follows:
+
-
NH4 + 2O2 → NO3 + H2O + 2H
+
The next stage is the denitrification cycle in the anoxic tank, where nitrate is reduced to nitrogen gas, with
continual mixing and the addition of a carbon supplement.
The final SBR stage is settling, where quiescence in the tanks allows sludge to settle and enables treated
effluent to be decanted from the aerobic tank into the wet well, and subsequently pumped into Ponds A and
B for testing and discharge. Ponds A and B may also be used as treatment ponds, if leachate volumes are
sufficient. Aeration in this scenario is achieved by an aerator located in each pond.
Once treatment is completed the inlet/outlet valves on Ponds A and B are locked out, with samples collected
by SEWL.
Initially a sample is analysed and compared against the trade waste criteria. If the sample indicates
compliance, the historical sample is then analysed. Non compliance of the first sample means that the batch
requires further treatment. Once the batch has compliant samples, the valves are unlocked and the batch
discharged to sewer.
The monitoring requirements for the leachate plant are stipulated in the SITA Environmental Monitoring
Manual (MAN010).
7.2.2
Stormwater Management
Stormwater is regulated at Taylors Road Landfill by EPA Waste Discharge Licence ES511, Conditions 2.24
– 2.27. These conditions stipulate controls around the process of stormwater collection and discharge.
Initially, water falling onto the landfill is diverted from active waste cells, in order prevent unnecessary
contamination. Further to this, stormwater contacting completed caps and site areas free from waste may be
directly discharged to off-site perimeter drains. The suitability of this approach is assured by Licence
Condition 2.25(c), which requires stormwater samples to be collected from one of the let-down structures on
the northern, western, and southern boundary during at least one storm event in every six month period.
Samples collected must be analysed for TDS, EC, pH, total iron, total nitrogen as nitrogen, ammonia and
PCBs. In the 2008/2009 reporting period samples were collected from the let-down structures on two
th
rd
occasions (25 August 2008 and 3 April 2009). The time between let-down structure sampling events was
greater than 6 months due to the lack of significant storm events. The results from these sampling events are
presented in Table 35.

Licence Condition 2.25 (b) relates to all other stormwater impacting the site, where water contacting
intermediate capped areas is directed to the Duck Pond. Collected water is discharged from the Duck Pond
to Eumemmerring Creek in accordance with Licence Conditions 2.26, 2.27, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15 and 3.16.
In summary, this requires a sample to be collected from the pond prior to discharge, analysed and deemed
compliant with the parameters listed in Table 36.

Additionally, a visual examination of the pond must ensure that the Duck Pond waters contain no oil, grease,
scum, foam, litter or other objectionable matter. At this stage, SITA regards the pond contents as a batch
and water cannot be transferred to the pond. Once the pre-discharge analytical requirements are completed
the water may be discharged to the Creek. This involves sampling the upstream, downstream and Duck
Pond waters for pH and EC. The results are used to calculate an appropriate discharge rate that does not
exceed 40 L/s. Further downstream samples are collected 30 minutes following the start of pumping to
ensure that the maximum EC does not exceed 1600 µS/cm.
The volume of water discharged to Eumemmerring Creek ranges between 319 kL and 15,843 kL per
discharge event, with an average of nine discharges per year.
The entire discharge process is governed by EPA Waste Discharge Licence conditions with the specific
steps required to meet licence conditions detailed in the SITA Environmental Monitoring Manual (MAN010).
Stormwater from the proposed soil processing facility will be managed in accordance with this existing
system. SITA does not propose any changes to the process for discharging stormwater to Eumemmering

Creek, nor is it expected that the proposed development will result in exceedences of the EPA Waste
Discharge Licence and SEPP (WoV) emission limits.
Stormwater from the proposed facility will be handled in two ways. Firstly, water collected from the roof of the
processing building will be regarded as non-contaminated and directed into the process water storage tanks,
for subsequent use in the DFTD system. Stormwater collected from the hardstand area will be drained to a
collection pond within the proposed facility where it will be stored. Once a sufficient volume has been
collected, the water will be regarded as a batch and tested for the parameters contained in the EPA Waste
Discharge Licence for the Duck Pond. However, chlorinated hydrocarbons and PCBs will be tested for every
batch, not at the 6 monthly frequency currently required for the Duck Pond. Once the collected water is
tested and deemed to meet the Duck Pond licence requirements, the water will be transferred to the Duck
Pond or to the process water storage tanks within the facility.
7.3
Discharges to Land and Groundwater
Discharges to land and groundwater are currently managed at the Taylors Road landfill, in accordance with
the requirements stipulated in EPA Waste Discharge Licence ES511.
In terms of land, the licence sets out criteria for the placement of waste, types of waste received, disposal
procedures, receipt requirements and operational controls. Treated soil discharged to land from the
proposed soil processing facility will be managed within this existing system.
In terms of groundwater, SITA maintains a groundwater monitoring network and undertakes three monthly
sampling for the parameters stipulated in the licence. The proposed development does not include any
provision for discharges to groundwater.

7.4.1
Noise Emissions
Legislative Requirements
The State Environment Protection Policy (Control of Noise from Commerce, Industry and Trade) No. N-1
(SEPP N-1) specifies compliance noise limits for commercial, industrial and trade premises within the
Melbourne metropolitan area.
The noise limit, or permissible level, is the maximum effective level allowed at a point in a noise sensitive
area.
SEPP N-1 prescribes noise limits which are to be met outdoors at noise sensitive areas. Noise sensitive
areas include segments of land associated with residential buildings, caretaker houses, hospitals, hotels,
institutional homes, motels, reformative institutions, tourist establishments and work release hostels. The
noise limit varies with the land use zoning of the area, the time of day, and sometimes with the existing
background noise level, if this is either exceptionally high or exceptionally low.
The effective noise level produced by the industry must not exceed the noise limit. Where two or more
industries emit noise, the combined noise level must not exceed the noise limit. The implications are that
under some circumstances individual industries must attenuate noise emissions to significantly below SEPP
N-1 limits.
The effective noise level is the A-weighted energy averaged noise level (LAeq) over a time period (nominally
30 minutes), adjusted if necessary for various aspects of noise character such as duration, intermittency,
impulsiveness or tonality.

Three time periods are specified in SEPP N-1 for which different noise limits apply. These time periods are
as follows:
Day:
Evening:
Night:

Monday – Friday
7.00 a.m. – 6.00 p.m.

All days
6.00 p.m. – 10.00 p.m; and
All days
10.00 p.m. – 7.00 a.m.
Noise Limits
The permissible level is obtained by taking into consideration the noise level expected by the surrounding
area, time of day (zoning level) and background noise level.
The zoning levels at each sample location for the selected time periods are calculated by the following
formulae:
Day period (0700-1800 hours)
18 x IF + 50;
Evening period (1800-2200 hours) 17 x IF + 44; and
Night period (2200-0700 hours)
17 x IF + 39
where;
The influencing factor (IF) is a measure of the proportion of land zoned for industrial or commercial use
around the measurement point.
The influencing factor is assessed by drawing two concentric circles around the measurement point, at 400
metres and 140 metres.
The areas contained in each circle of Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3 zones (as described in the Policy) are then
calculated, and the influencing factor calculated from the following equation:
IF
=
1 (Area Type 3) + ½ (Area Type 2)
2
Circle Area
140 metre circle
+
1 (Area Type 3) + ½ (Area Type 2)

Circle Area
400 metre circle
The SITA site is zoned Farming Zone (FZ) and is consequently Type 1. The nearest residential properties
are located in Industrial 1 Zone (IN1Z) land (Type 3), to the south-south-east, west and south-west of the
site. Based on the zoning at the nearest sensitive receptors, the influencing factors will be 0.95, 1.0 and 0.70
for properties to the south-west, south-south-east, and west respectively.
An application to amend the Greater Dandenong Planning Scheme has been made to rezone the land
occupied by the Taylors Road Landfill from FZ to IN1Z, to better reflect the ongoing use of the land. Should
this application be successful, the influencing factor will increase to 1.0 for the nearest sensitive receptors to
the south-west and 0.8 for the property to the west, thereby increasing the applicable noise limits. As the
existing property zonings have been utilized in the noise impact assessment provided below, it represents a
conservative evaluation in the event that the proposed zoning change occurs.
Background noise data is not available, however it is likely to be neutral; at least 6 dB and not more than 12
dB below the zoning level for the day period, and at least 3 dB and not more than 9 dB below for the

Measured Noise Levels
SITA propose that soil pre-treatment, where required, is conducted off site, at the source of the
contamination. Consequently there will be no grinding or crushing equipment installed as part of the
proposed works. Truck deliveries of contaminated soil will only occur during the day period, therefore the
only noise sources of significance during the evening and night periods are the DFTD process equipment
and the soil recycler.
Enviropacific Services estimate that the fan and blower components of the DFTD equipment run at 88 dB(A).
Sound pressure levels measurements conducted on similar DFTD equipment located at BCD Technologies
in Narangba, Queensland and the Hitachi SR2000G soil mixer located at Spotswood, Victoria are presented
in Table 38. Sound pressure level measurements were conducted at a distance of approximately 1 metre
from the equipment. These numbers are considered to be conservatively high for each individual equipment
item, as the measurements would have been affected by noise associated with operation of other plant and
equipment. Where a range is indicated the highest values have been subsequently assumed in the
calculations.

Compliance Assessment
As sound propagates from its source to the receiver location, interactions with the atmosphere, reflective and
absorptive surfaces occur to attenuate the sound. In addition geometrical divergence or spreading of the
sound energy means that the sound energy will decrease with increasing distance from the source. For a
point source exhibiting spherical divergence this equates to approximately 6 dB for each doubling of
distance.
The total attenuation, in decibels, can be approximated as the sum of three independent terms as follows:
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
100
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Attenuation Atotal= Adiv+ A air + A other
Where Adiv is the attenuation due to geometrical divergence, Aair is the attenuation due to air absorption, and
Aother is the attenuation due to all other effects and includes the effects of the ground, refraction by a nonhomogeneous atmosphere, scattering effects due to turbulence and attenuation by barriers. Attenuation due
to divergence is the same for all acoustic frequencies, while the attenuation due to the other two terms in the
equation depends on frequency and therefore changes the spectral characteristics of the sound.
International Standard ISO 9613 "Attenuation of Sound During Propagation Outdoors" details the
calculations to determine the attenuation due to atmospheric absorption (Aair). Atmospheric conditions such
as temperature, pressure and humidity have a significant effect on the level of absorption. Over larger
distances (>100 m), the overall sound level and character of the noise can be significantly altered. As there
is no spectral data available for the measured sound pressure levels, atmospheric absorption will not be
considered further.
Attenuation due to divergence can be calculated assuming spherical divergence from the following equation:
Adiv = 20 log(D2/D1)
Where; D1 and D2 represent a distance in metres from a point source.
The nearest residential properties to the proposed SITA soil processing facility are located at the following
approximate separation distances and directions from the proposed soil processing equipment:
South-south-east 590 m;
West
720 m; and
South-west
870 m.
For a receiver at a distance of 590 m from the source the attenuation due to spherical divergence equates to
55 dB(A).
The predicted sound pressure levels at each of the nearest residential properties due to operation of the
DFTD and soil stabilisation equipment, together with the night period noise limit, are presented in Table 39.
Predicted sound pressure levels were calculated based on measured and estimated equipment noise levels,
allowing for attenuation by spherical divergence only. Attenuation due to atmospheric absorption and other
effects such as barriers, vegetation and ground absorption have not been considered.

assessment.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
SITA is committed to rigorous environmental management to ensure all segments of the environment are
protected and preserved where possible. This is best demonstrated by the company’s Environment Policy,
which states:
“SITA is committed to:
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
101
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Complying with relevant Federal and State environmental laws, and other legislation and requirements;
Adopting responsible environmental protection practices;
Seeking excellence in waste handling procedures; and
Striving for the prevention of pollution and continual improvements in environmental performance.
To achieve these goals, we:
Provide resources to meet our environmental obligations;
Implement the principles of waste reduction, reuse and recycling;
Integrate responsible environmental targets with the corporate planning process;
Continuously monitor and review our environmental performance and report to regulators as required;
Audit our major sites’ environmental management systems;
Respond promptly and appropriately to any adverse environmental impacts that may result from our
activities;
Consult with the local community in response to any concerns about our operations;
Educate our employees and contractors in environment protection techniques; and
Work with public sector and industry groups to encourage sustainable environmental practice.”
The proposed soil processing facility is positioned firmly within this management framework. The facility will
enable SITA to further implement the principles of waste reduction and create a mechanism for the
prevention of pollution (through treatment of Category A wastes), which is a key objective of State policy.
The policy principles are also at the core of the proposed development, with SITA committed to the
installation of best practice technology to meet environmental obligations (Section 5.0) and integration of the
facility into the existing environmental management systems (Sections 8.3 and 8.5). Lastly the proposed
development includes consulting with the local community and stakeholders through the process outlined in
the community engagement plan (Section 4.3). The specific environmental management requirements
relating to non routine operations, separation distances, management systems, construction phase and
environmental monitoring relating to the proposed soil processing facility are presented in Sections 8.1 to
8.5.
8.1
Non-Routine Operations
Non-routine operations are events where normal process conditions are suspended due to an unforeseen
problem or incident. In the context of the proposed Soil Processing Facility, non routine operations fall into
four categories; utility failure, equipment failure, process triggered shutdown and chemical/water/soil spill.
The proposed development contains equipment with sufficient safety and environment protection features,
implemented with well designed infrastructure including bunding, chemical designated areas, storage
buildings and designated transport routes. These physical elements will be coupled with management
strategies that enable non-routine operating conditions to be handled appropriately to minimise any potential
environmental impact. The relevant management strategies for non-routine operations are:
Comprehensive operator training;
Induction programme, which includes environmental aspects;
Provision of adequate system documentation, including creation of Standard Operating Procedures and
operator checklists;
Plant and equipment maintenance programme;

Audit programme; and
Documentation of non-conformances and follow up.
The outcomes of a hazards and operability study (HAZOP) conducted on the proposed DFTD equipment,
which assesses actions to address non-routine operations, is reproduced in Appendix I. This document is
provided on a commercial in confidence basis.
Each category of non-routine operation is discussed in the following sections.
8.1.1
Utility Failure
Electricity
Electricity will be used by the Soil Processing Facility for lighting, operation of the processing building
ventillation system and operation of the DFTD control panel, induced draught fan, pumps, compressors and
motors.
Mains electricity will be used as the primary power supply with a back up emergency generator available on
site to facilitate equipment shutdown in the event of mains power interruption. The generator will not be
used as a power source to continue processing; rather it will be used to enable a safe and controlled shut
down during a non-routine operating event. In this instance, the generator will be used for the DFTD
equipment, processing building ventilation system and lights if the power interruption occurs at night. The
procedure will be the same as that employed for normal shut down, eg. a staged approach, following
removal of processed soil and exhaust gases. It is not anticipated that mains electricity failure will result in
non-routine emissions to air, land or water.
A more extreme circumstance is the total interruption of mains and generator power whilst processing
contaminated soil. In this scenario, the plant operator will be required to perform manual adjustments to
reduce the potential for an unsafe working environment, equipment damage and emissions to air.
The following steps will be undertaken:
All equipment and controls will be switched off and isolated from power, to prevent damage in the event
that power returns;
An audible signal will notify all plant operators of emergency conditions;
Battery operated lights will be activated if the event occurs at night;
Account for all personnel and activate the site emergency plan;
The dilution valve will be manually opened to enable the ingress of air to the baghouse and wet
chemical scrubber, protecting the equipment from high temperature exhaust gases;
The ID fan damper will be opened enabling convective flow of air through the system;
The dryer will be turned every thirty minutes to prevent hot soil from warping the drum;
A handheld infrared gun will be used to check equipment for hot spots. An emergency water tank with
cylinder air pressure will be available on site to cool down hot spots as required;
When power returns, soil will be removed from the drum and returned to the untreated stockpile; and
A comprehensive system check will be conducted to ensure that equipment damage did not occur.
Once power interruption has occurred, the rotary dryer and thermal oxidiser will slowly cool down to ambient
temperature over a period of approximately 60 minutes. Soil contaminants will continue to be driven off,
however the ID fan will no longer be operating to draw the exhaust gas through the system. Ventilation will
however be achieved to a limited extent through manual release of the ID fan damper.
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
103
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Emissions to air during the emergency may occur from the dryer inlet, with the contaminant concentration
expected to slowly decrease as the soil and dryer cool from desorbing temperatures to ambient. Exhaust
gas that is naturally ventilated will be treated by the thermal oxidiser as it cools, however the evaporative
cooler will not be operational and air travelling through the system may leak from the dilution valve prior to
the baghouse and system damper prior to the wet chemical scrubber.
The contaminant concentration at each location can be estimated from the process design case presented in
Table 17, however the emission rate cannot be calculated as it will be a dynamic process, with no
mechanical ventilation, subject to the interactions between equipment pressures and temperatures and
ambient pressures and temperatures.
Overall, the likelihood of total power failure is very low as contingency measures will be in place if mains
power supply is interrupted. The focus of actions undertaken in this emergency scenario will be prevention
of harm to personnel and equipment.
Natural Gas
Natural gas is used to fuel the dryer and thermal oxidiser. Start up procedures for both fuel trains require a
comprehensive staged approach to ensure that the system can achieve the flows and pressures required for
operation of the DFTD. Once operating, an interruption to dryer burner natural gas supply will cause the
dryer, soil feed and screening unit to shut down. Similarly, cessation of natural gas supply to the thermal
oxidiser burner will also cause the dryer, soil feed and screening unit to shut down.
Shut down of the dryer and soil feed, halts processing and enables the plant operator to investigate and
implement a staged shutdown. The ID fan will continue to operate, drawing exhaust air from the dryer
through the thermal oxidiser and subsequent control equipment. It is not anticipated that thermal oxidiser
burner shut down will result in elevated emissions to air as temperature reduction within the oxidation
chamber is a gradual process with the internal temperature reducing to ambient conditions over a 60 minute
period. The plant operator will also be in a position to control exhaust gas flow and manage emissions to air
using the output from the CEMS. Partially treated soil will be removed from the dryer and returned to the
untreated soil stockpile.
The likelihood of natural gas supply failure is low. Risk control measures will be implemented to reduce the
likelihood of supply failure including installation of gas supply in accordance with Australian Standards and
equipment startup and commissioning checks conducted in accordance with standard operating procedures.
Water
Water is incorporated in the DFTD process in the soil conditioning system/pugmill, evaporative cooler and
wet chemical scrubber.
Loss of water supply to the pugmill will result in hot soil exiting the system, with the potential for conveyor
belt damage, personnel burns and fugitive dust emissions. In this instance the soil feed will be shut down,
with the plant operator responsible for ensuring sufficient water is available to continue soil processing.
Loss of water supply to the evaporative cooler will cause an increase in gas temperature entering the
baghouse, triggering the high temperature alarm which in turn shuts down the soil feed to the dryer, reduces
the dryer and thermal oxidiser burners to low fire and reduces the ID fan speed, lowering the exhaust gas
flowrate. These interlocks also trigger the release of the baghouse damper, allowing the ingress of ambient
air to cool the system and reduce the potential for baghouse damage. System shut down will enable the
operator to ensure that sufficient water supply is available to continue processing or investigate causes of
water failure such as quench pump failure.
8.1.2
Equipment Failure
Induced Draught Fan
The induced draught (ID) fan works to draw exhaust gas through the system, maintaining a negative
pressure throughout the processing equipment. The loss of negative pressure will cause the dryer, soil feed
and screening unit to shut down. A pressure switch located in the dryer will trigger a hatch on the dryer
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
104
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
opening, preventing dryer exhaust gas from leaking from the system without treatment. Shut down of the
dryer, soil feed and screening unit will enable the plant operator to rectify the situation, or commence a
staged shut down. It is unlikely that induced draught fan failure will result in non-routine emissions to air due
to incorporated process interlocks.
Dryer
Dryer operation is dependent on adequate soil feed, operation of the ID fan to maintain negative pressure
and temperature maintenance. Risks of dryer failure are managed through a preventative maintenance
programme and correct operation of the induced draught fan and burner fuel trains as described above.
Dryer temperature is a function of the calorific value of the contaminated soil been processed and operation
of the dryer burner. If the dryer temperature exceeds 590°C as measured on thermocouple TC2, the soil
feed will shut down, the dryer and thermal oxidiser burners are reduced to low fire and the ID fan is reduced
to low speed, lowering the exhaust gas flowrate. The purpose of this interlock is to prevent temperature
damage to the dryer, with the enforced shut down enabling the plant operator to investigate and rectify the
situation. Emissions to air will continue to be discharged through the process emission control system. SITA
will control risks to dryer operation through ensuring that the soil feed calorific value is within limits
recommended by the equipment manufacturer and that thermocouple cross checks and calibrations are
conducted as part of the preventative maintenance programme.
Thermal Oxidiser
Failure of the thermal oxidiser will occur if insufficient fuel is supplied to the burner and if internal
temperatures exceed the manufacturer’s recommendation for safe operation of the equipment (1,140°C).
Exceedence of 1,140°C as measured by thermocouple TC3, will result in an alarm, with process interlocks
triggered. Soil feed will be shut down, burners (dryer and thermal oxidiser) reduced to low fire and the ID fan
reduced to low flow, enabling the plant operator to investigate, instigate corrective actions or commence a
staged shut down. Fuel train failure is discussed above, however it is important to note that inefficient
operation of the fuel train will result in elevated concentrations of oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide in
the exhaust gas. Where exhaust gas concentrations exceed the CEMS trigger level, the process interlock
system will be activated. The CEMS trigger level will be set below the facility licence requirements to provide
a safety buffer between elevated exhaust gas concentrations and licence condition exceedences.
Evaporative Cooler
Evaporative cooler operation is dependent on an adequate water supply and the integrity of the components
delivering the water supply. Risks to this control equipment will be minimized by the preventative
maintenance programme whilst the outcomes of water supply failure are addressed above.
Baghouse
Operation of the baghouse is dependent on the inlet temperature, which is a function of the effectiveness of
the evaporative cooler, and the pressure differential measured across the filter fabric. Outcomes associated
with a high inlet temperature are discussed above under water utility failure. As noted in the Process
Controls and Interlocks Section, filter fabric pressure differential enables the plant operator to monitor the
baghouse pulse cleaning system. It is the responsibility of the plant operator to ensure that baghouse
operation is within the manufacturer’s guidelines as the pressure differential is not linked to process
interlocks. However if exhaust gas particulate matter concentrations exceed the CEMS trigger level, the
process interlock system will be activated. As noted above, the trigger level will be set below the facility
licence requirements to provide a safety buffer between elevated exhaust gas concentrations and licence
condition exceedences.
A baghouse leak detection programme will also be instigated to guard against baghouse failure during
operation. The procedure will enable SITA to identify leaking bags, improperly seated bags, and/or leaks in
the side walls.
Wet Chemical Scrubber
Operation of the wet chemical scrubber is dependent on adequate water supply and operation of the
equipment components delivering the water supply and pH neutralising chemicals. Equipment components
such as the recirculating water pump, water valve, water nozzles, water lines, blowdown valves and float
August 2010

valve arm are subject to wear and tear which has the potential to cause under delivery or over delivery of
water and neutralising chemicals during operation of the DFTD. Diligent conduct of the preventative
maintenance programme will ensure that equipment wear and tear is monitored and components cleaned
and replaced where necessary. However if component failure occurs during DFTD operation exhaust gas
acid gas emissions will increase until the CEMS trigger is breeched, activating the process interlocks system.
Hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride and sulphur dioxide trigger levels will be set below the facility licence
limits to enable an adequate safety margin.
8.1.3
Process Triggered Shutdown
Process triggered shutdown refers to an emergency stop triggered by the plant operator. In this scenario,
the operator will hit the emergency mushroom button which will shut down power to the entire plant and
sound the emergency air horn to alert all personnel to the emergency. Following this, the operator will be
responsible for shutting down burners and opening the baghouse dilution damper. Where possible, the
operator will shutdown the plant in accordance with the standard operating procedures. Emergency
shutdown may be triggered by equipment failure as described above or other process related emergencies.

8.2
Separation Distances
26
EPA Publication No. AQ2/86 contains recommended buffer distances associated with residual air
emissions from a range of industrial processes. Equipment failure, accidents and abnormal weather
conditions are among the causes that can lead to amenity reducing emissions affecting properties beyond
the boundary of the source premise.
Residual air emissions are often intermittent or episodic in occurrence and may originate at or near ground
level. Provision of an adequate buffer distance allows the emissions to dissipate without adverse impacts on
sensitive land uses.
The buffer distance is defined as the distance between all plant, buildings or other structures and features
(e.g. stockpiles) from which residual air emissions may be anticipated and the property boundary of any
sensitive use nearest to the emission source, except in the case of an isolated house in a non-residential
zone where the house itself would be the measuring point. If land is zoned for a sensitive use, it is treated as
sensitive regardless of its current use, and the zone boundary is the measuring point.
Given the proposed thermal treatment of VOCs and SVOCs contaminated soils at the proposed facility, the
recommended buffer distance of 500 m for premises undertaking the treatment of organic waste could be
considered applicable. EPA has however determined that treatment of organic waste is not an appropriate
classification, consequently there is no EPA endorsed buffer distance for the proposed SITA facility.
In March 2001, the Minister for Major Projects established the Hazardous Waste Siting Advisory Committee
(HWSAC), to advise on all aspects of the siting process for new waste recycling, treatment and storage
27
28
facilities . HWSAC adopted the HWCC buffer recommendation as the default for the siting of soil recycling
and treatment facilities and accepted the following concentric buffer zones around such facilities:
A core of 200 m radius within which only compatible land uses (i.e. compatible hazardous waste
facilities) will be permitted and which must be owned (or controlled) by the operator; and
An outer zone between 200 m and 2 km radius within which there will be no sensitive uses unless
permitted in accordance with the planning overlay.
Buffer zones were accepted by HWSAC for soil recycling and treatment facilities to:
Provide an additional margin of safety for the community during normal operating conditions where
emissions may occur;
Provide an additional margin of protection of amenity (from things such as odours, aesthetic impacts or
noise);
Provide safety and protection of amenity (e.g. against loss due to odours, aesthetic impacts or noise) in
the event of abnormal conditions (such as spillages, fires, machinery breakdown);
Address community concerns and expectations or anxieties about such facilities; and
Provide industry, government and community with a clear and sustainable basis for planning.
HWSAC does however note that buffer distances for soil recycling and treatment facilities, set on the basis of
risk calculations alone, would probably be of the order of a few hundred metres or less and that the HWCC
outcome represented a precautionary approach to the setting of buffer distances.
The distances between the proposed SITA soil processing facility and the nearest residential properties
(refer Figure 20) are as follows:
South-south-east
590 m;

South-west
870 m; and
West
720 m.
Theses distances are less than the precautionary approach recommended by HWSAC and more than those
suggested by a risk based approach (a few hundred meters). The air quality impact assessment presented
in Section 7.1.3, demonstrates that the proposed buffer distance is more than adequate to establish
compliance with the SEPP (AQM) design criteria during normal operation; with custom enhancements
expected to provide even better emission control. However, the primary purpose of industrial buffers is to
provide adequate protection to beneficial users from “industrial residual air emissions” (IRAEs). IRAEs are
non-typical air emissions which may be episodic or intermittent. The proposed soil processing facility has
two levels of control to reduce the risk of IRAEs, these are physical and managerial. Physical controls
proposed to reduce the risk of IRAEs are:
Intermittent uncontrolled emissions are not possible, as process controls and interlocks will not enable
the DFTU to operate unless pollution control equipment is engaged;
The DFTU unit operates under negative pressure; loss of draught and hence vacuum causes immediate
shut down and closure of the hatch on the dryer. Moreover the process between the dryer and pollution
control equipment is sealed, physically preventing the egress of untreated residual emissions to air;
The risk of non routine emissions to air resulting from power failure has been minimised through the
inclusion of a back-up generator on-site. In the event of mains power failure, the plant operator will
implement a controlled shutdown using emergency power. Pollution control equipment will be shut down
in stages, ensuring all emissions to air are within the operating parameters for the site. The plant
operator will use CEMs output during this process to ensure compliance;
Utility failure including water and natural gas will trigger process interlocks and equipment shutdown,
reducing the risk of uncontrolled emission to air; and
CEMs equipment will trigger process shutdown if emissions to air breach a predefined trigger level.
Managerial controls proposed to reduce the risk of IRAEs are:
Comprehensive operator training;
Installation and commissioning in accordance with standards and regulations;
Rigorous preventative maintenance programme; and
Development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for routine and non-routine operations.
Additionally, similar soil processing facilities have been installed in Australia and overseas at distances less
than those advocated by HWSAC. Notably the Kurnell installation is located within 1 km of residential
properties and approximately 100 m from commercial premises. The primary soil contaminant treated at
Kurnell was PCBs. Enviropacific Services also operates a DFTD processing facility in the Narangba
Industrial Estate, north of Brisbane. The DFTD unit is located at BCD Technologies which is positioned in
the vicinity of other industrial manufacturers such as fish food and fertilizer producers. The nearest
residential property is located approximately 670 m to the north-east. The facility has been operating the
DFTD unit for six months processing contaminated soil with no complaints received to date. The facility has
been inspected by members of the local residents action group and no issues or additional concerns have
been raised following inspection of the plant and operations. Moreover a new housing development is
proposed to the south of BCD Technologies, potentially reducing the buffer distance to 400 m.
Precedence can also be demonstrated by the locations of other soil processing facilities with similar
technology to that proposed for the Taylors Road Landfill. For example Thiess Services operated a thermal
desorption technology in Rhodes NSW, to clean up the Former Allied Feeds Site. This facility was located
within 100 m of the nearest residential properties. Similarly Thiess is working to thermally treat chlorinated
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
110
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
and non-chlorinated organics at the former Lednez/Union Carbide Site in Homebush Bay NSW. This site is
located approximately 120 m from the nearest residential properties.
To provide a global perspective, MECO Services has operated many thermal treatment installations where
distances to sensitive receptors were varied. Many projects have undergone strict supervision by the
USEPA and local government bodies, and where required met and exceeded the legislated requirements.
Proximity to residential dwellings, sensitive natural environments and ecologically sensitive areas were
considered and managed successfully. The buffer distance in one project in Boise, Idaho was only a few
hundred meters. This project was fast tracked by the state and federal regulatory authorities and
implemented technology similar to the proposed equipment.
Overall the proposed DFTD equipment incorporates the best available technology for exhaust gas cleanup
and goes and above and beyond what has been used historically in any thermal treatment project in
Australia. The addition of activated carbon adsorption post wet chemical scrubbing places a further
treatment stage on to what has been considered to be acceptable air pollution control practice in similar
projects in the past. The level of control with CEMS and the ability to manage mercury within the waste
stream places the Enviropacific Services equipment in a class above any previous or currently operating
thermal desorption project. These measures and the risk management strategies adopted for control of nonroutine emissions, coupled with experience in operation of similar installations, demonstrates that the
proposed buffer distances are appropriate for the amelioration of possible community amenity and health
impacts.
8.3
Management System
Existing operations at the Taylors Road Landfill are managed in accordance with two SAI Global certified
management systems. These are:
ISO 14002 Certified Environmental Management System Licence No. C10260 ; and
AS 4801, Certified Occupational Health and Safety System Licence No. 00160.
The proposed soil processing facility will operate within these existing systems.
8.4
Construction
SITA is committed to ensuring a high standard of responsible environmental management during
construction and operational activities. SITA is committed to:
Reducing the risk of adverse environmental impacts through an ongoing process of hazard
identification, risk assessment, control measures implementation, monitoring and review;
Minimising the potential for disturbance and disruption to surrounding stakeholders, including residents,
businesses and the public; and
Striving for continual improvement.
The following section provides a summary of the key management solutions for potential environmental
impacts arising from the construction activities. It is further anticipated that prior to construction commencing,
the appointed construction contractors/subcontractors will be tasked with preparing a site specific
construction environmental management plan in accordance with guidance provided in EPA Publication No.
480 “Environmental Guidelines for Major Construction Sites”, dated February 1996. As a minimum the
construction environmental management plan will:
Address the potential environmental risks associated with construction activities;
Identify control measures to minimise the potential for adverse environmental impacts arising from
construction activities;
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
111
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Outline the mitigation measures to ensure environmental risks are adequately managed during
construction;
Ensure all activities comply with relevant regulatory requirements;
Ensure all activities comply with any Works Approval and Permit Conditions; and
Ensure all activities comply with SITA’s environmental criteria.
The following key potential environmental risks have been identified for the construction phase:
Excavation on the landfill/additional weight on the landfill;
Noise and vibration including operating hours, vehicles, equipment and traffic;
Air quality and dust;
Surface water quality control (stormwater);
Erosion and sediment control;
Waste management;
Public roads; and
Public safety.
Likely mitigation measures considered in the design of the proposed facility are summarised below.
Excavation on the Landfill/Additional Weight on the Landfill
The cap of the cells comprise a flexible geomembrane liner overlying a clay layer with 500 mm of cover soil
over the geomembrane liner. The materials for the lining system have a load capacity well in excess of the
load from the capping system. It is expected that the load capacity of the materials of the cap liner system
will be able to withstand the additional weight from the construction of the waste treatment facility as well as
the weight of the structures.
Additional fill will also be placed over the completed capping system to construct and shape the subgrade for
the waste treatment facility. The existing surface will be proof rolled to identify any softer area in the capping
cover material which will be replaced with compacted fill.
The placement of additional fill over the cap will provide additional protection and separation between the
building footings, buried services and the lining system. Before placement of any additional fill, a layer of
warning geotextile will be installed to ensure that the lining system of the cap is not damaged during the
waste treatment facility construction works. The warning layer will be at least 300 mm above the liner
system. The foundations of the waste treatment facility buildings are proposed to be of low to moderate
bearing pressure to spread building loads to limit the stress transfer on the lining system of the cap.
The surface grade of the cap is gradual so lateral movement is not likely to occur due to the additional load.
Methane gas in landfills is produced through decomposition of organic wastes under anaerobic conditions
and it is considered unlikely that the cells containing 100% Prescribed Industrial Waste such as Cells 12A
and B will generate significant methane gas. Thus, impacts relating to worker safety due to the risk of
methane gas during the construction phase are low. Further, it is expected that construction worker safety
will be addressed in the site construction management plan, and prior to site works, all contractors/
subcontractors will be required to undertake site induction training.
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
112

FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
Noise and Vibration
Construction operating hours will be limited to the standard working day, i.e. 07:00 to 18:00 Monday to
Friday, and 08:00 to 15:00 Saturday and Sunday. Further, no construction activities involving heavy
equipment such as earth moving equipment and excavators will be undertaken on Sundays.
It is anticipated that construction activities will not result in excessive vibration impacts.
Air Quality and Dust Protection
The main source of air pollutants associated with construction activities are likely to be dust and exhaust
emissions associated with the movement and operation of construction vehicles. Measures to reduce the
impacts of dust will include, wetting of bare earth surfaces and internal roads as appropriate. Vehicle speeds
will be restricted on the site to 15 kph on unsealed roads. Where possible, work schedules will be arranged
such that exposed areas are only stripped as construction progresses. Given the scale of the construction
activities, it is unlikely that exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment will result in
significant impacts. Furthermore, site vehicles will be maintained in operable condition in accordance with
manufacturers’ specifications.
Surface Water Quality, Erosion and Sediment Control
A suite of measures are available to minimise on-site erosion, reduce and limit sediment discharged from the
site and limit any adverse off-site impacts to receiving waters. These include:
Stockpiles and large areas of bare soil will have sediment controls placed on the down slope side;
Sediment barriers (maybe gravel or cloth filter with sandbags) will be placed around stormwater inlets.
The barriers function by temporarily ponding runoff allowing suspended sediment to settle before
entering the stormwater drainage system;
Divert water exposed to disturbed land into the existing stormwater management system at the landfill;
Temporary sediment ponds will be established at the site to collect run-off from construction activities
prior to discharge to the landfill stormwater management system.
Stockpiling of excavated soils during construction will be limited to designated location(s);
‘No Go Areas’ will be established for construction vehicles;
Sediment fences and low flow diversion bunds will be installed on contours, where practicable, to
control sheet erosion;
Where practical work schedules will be arranged such that exposed areas are only stripped as
construction progresses; and
Waste Management
In line with SITA’s current practice at the landfill, the site will be secured to ensure no illegal dumping of
waste occurs. Contractors/ subcontractors will be expected to comply with SITA’s internal policies and
procedures for management of chemicals and fuels on site, including safe storage, handling and use to
prevent spillage. In the event of spillage of fuels or chemicals during construction, SITA will respond in
accordance with emergency procedures for the landfill. Concrete mixing and refuelling will be conducted in
designated areas to prevent washings/spills/leaks entering the stormwater drainage systems.
Public Roads
A vehicle wash down area or wheel wash facility will be located at the site exit to remove any soil, mud or
debris from vehicles leaving the site. Public roads abutting the site will be swept and inspected weekly during
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
113
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
the construction phase. Appropriate signage making road users aware of construction vehicles entering or
exiting the site will be displayed.
Public Safety
The external boundaries of the site (namely, the northern and eastern boundaries) will be secured with a
minimum 1.8 m fence to prevent unauthorised entry onto the site. Construction warning signage will be
displayed as appropriate to inform the public of the potential hazards involved. Chemicals and machinery will
be stored such that they do not pose a risk of vandalism, theft or damage.
SITA will develop a contingency response plan which identifies all potential environmental construction
scenarios and contains appropriate contingency plans and procedures to manage each possible scenario
and minimise associated impacts, with provision of adequate notice to the public regarding timing and
progress of the works associated with the development.
SITA will also develop a monitoring and inspection programme to assess impacts of construction activities.
Some of the key areas for inspection and monitoring include the following:
8.5
Visually monitor the effects of dust and emissions generated during construction;
Visually monitor the effects of generated waste (e.g., spills) and clean work areas;
Monitor noise from plant and equipment;
Record and respond to complaints from local residents;
Record and monitor the storage of dangerous goods and hazardous substances; and
Monitor stormwater and sediment control devices and discharges from the site.
Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring conducted at the Taylors Road Landfill is currently managed by the procedures
outlined in SITA’s “Environmental Monitoring Manual”. This document details the monitoring requirements for
groundwater, leachate, gas, stormwater, dust, occupational health and safety and miscellaneous monitoring
in order to comply with the conditions of EPA Waste Discharge Licence ES511.
Monitoring conducted in accordance with this document may be undertaken in-house or by a NATA
accredited laboratory. All analytical results must be reported on NATA endorsed test reports. Similarly, the
procedures used must be in accordance with the following EPA publications:
Industrial Waste Resource Guidelines, Sampling and Analysis of Water, Wastewater, Soil or Waste,
IWRG701, June 2009;
Groundwater Sampling Guidelines, Publication No. 669, April 2000; and
A Guide to the Sampling and Analysis of Air Emissions, Publication No. 440.1, December 2002.
Environmental monitoring at the proposed soil processing facility will also be managed by the “Environmental
Monitoring Manual” with the requirements for NATA accreditation and the use of validated EPA sampling
methods applicable to the proposed facility.
Additional monitoring that will be required as part of the proposed soil processing facility development is as
follows:
Dust Deposition Monitoring
The existing network of directional dust gauges on the landfill boundaries provide an indication of percentage
dust per compass quadrant. This network does not measure the deposition rate of insoluble solids, hence
2
compliance with the EPA guideline of 4 g/m /month cannot be assessed. Consequently SITA will co-locate
August 2010
Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
114
APPLICATION FOR WORKS APPROVAL: SOIL PROCESSING
FACILITY, TAYLORS ROAD LANDFILL
an additional dust deposit gauge with each existing directional dust deposit gauge. The gauges will be
located in accordance with AS/NZS 3580.1.1 Guide to Siting Air Monitoring Equipment. Samples will be
collected on a monthly basis and analysed for insoluble solids in accordance with AS3580.10.1
Determination of Particulate Matter – Deposited Dust.
Stormwater Monitoring
The proposed soil processing facility will include a mechanism for catchment of stormwater from the
operational areas of the facility. As noted in Section 7.2, this water may be discharged to the Duck Pond or
the process water tanks following batching, sampling and analysis.
The sampling programme for batch stormwater will include measurement and assessment of the water
quality indicators and criteria presented in Table 41:

Proof of Performance Tests
Proof of performance tests (POP) tests will be conducted to demonstrate that the DFTD equipment
performance specifications are being met and to verify estimated emission rates presented in Section 7.1.2.
In particular, POP tests are required to demonstrate acceptable destruction and removal efficiencies, and
3
compliance with the dioxins/furans emission limit of 0.1 ng/Nm (I-TEQ) when treating higher PCBs content
soils. Reported results for the equivalent installation in Kurnell, NSW are available for PCBs soil feed
concentrations of 170 mg/kg. SITA propose POP tests to demonstrate satisfactory equipment performance
for PCBs soil feed concentrations up to 10,000 mg/kg.
One round of air emission tests, consisting of single samples, will be conducted during the POP test for each
soil input. The activated carbon bed exhaust stack will be fitted with the appropriate sockets at a sampling
plane location consistent with the requirements of Australian Standard AS 4323.1, Stationary Source
Emissions: Method 1: Selection of Sampling Planes.

The actual soil contaminant concentrations that will be treated during the POP tests will be dependent on soil
availability. SITA acknowledge that the actual concentrations of soil treated during the OCPs and PCBs
trials will form the basis for contaminated soil acceptance criteria for the proposed facility.
The emission monitoring programme will be conducted by a laboratory accredited by NATA for the specified
emission tests. All samples will be analysed by a laboratory accredited by NATA for the specified analytes,
unless prior agreement to do otherwise has been obtained from EPA.
During the POP tests, soil samples will be collected from the rotary dryer feed conveyor and pugmill
discharge. Additionally samples will be collected from the baghouse and scrubbing liquor bleed.
The proposed soil, baghouse dust and scrubbing liquor sampling programme during the POP tests is
presented in Table 43.

The final component of the POP testing regime is the conduct of a noise survey at community based
sensitive receptors to demonstrate that the noise impacts associated with the development comply with the
requirements of the State Environment Protection Policy (Control of Noise from Commerce, Industry and
trade) No. N1.
SITA will provide EPA with at least 7 days prior written notice of the commencement of each POP test, and
the quantity of soil to be treated. The soil quantity will be to a maximum of 250 tonnes for each trial.
An assessment report, including POP soil and emission test results, will be provided to EPA within 30 days
of the completion of each round of the POP test programme.
The report, to be prepared by an environmental auditor appointed pursuant to the Environment Protection
Act 1970, will state whether the POP test has been undertaken in accordance with works approval
requirements, and whether the specified emission limits have been met.
Following completion of the POP test, no further treatment of contaminated soil of that type will occur on-site
until a copy of the assessment report has been submitted to EPA.
Point Source Monitoring
The SEPP(AQM) contains provisions for the ongoing monitoring of emissions from point source discharges.
Clause 21(1) stages that “The Authority may require a generator of emissions to measure and report on its
emissions to enable the Authority to determine whether the emissions are being managed in accordance
with the policy and any other statutory requirements”.
A point source monitoring programme will be established for the proposed DFTD exhaust in accordance with
this clause and any licence requirements imposed by the EPA.

Process Input Monitoring
Particulate matter collected in the fabric filter and bleed water from the wet chemical scrubber will be
returned to the pugmill for mixing with the processed soil. A monitoring programme for dioxins and furans
from both these inputs will be instigated to ensure the suitability of this waste minimisation measure.
Dioxins/furans will be sampled from collected particulate matter and wet chemical scrubber liquor bleed once
per batch until compliance is demonstrated.
Activated Carbon Monitoring
Activated carbon used for DFTD process exhaust gas clean up requires a routine monitoring programme to
ensure that the carbon is not spent. SITA propose to conduct a thirty day routine inspection programme to
establish carbon activity. When 75% bed breakthrough is observed, activated carbon changeover will occur.
Waste Stream Monitoring
Waste stream monitoring refers to the verification of contaminated soil loads prior to stockpiling and
processing. As described in Section 2.1.3, receipt of contaminated soils to the processing facility involves
client characterisation of waste and demonstration of treatment feasibility to SITA’s satisfaction, followed by
transport to site, where a sample from the load is compared to a previously forwarded reference sample.
Once admitted to site, the load is segregated in either the processing building or Nissen Hut. At this stage,
SITA may undertake verification testing to confirm the level and type of contamination.
3
Verification testing involves collection of one sample per 1,000 m of load. This frequency is considered
appropriate as the soil must be appropriately characterised by the client before entry to site. The purpose of
the verification test is to confirm the initial assessment through collection of an independent sample.
Overall sampling and analysis must be conducted in accordance with the IWRG “Sampling and Analysis of
Waters, Wastewaters Soils and Wastes”, Australian Standard AS 1141.3.1 – 1996 Methods for Sampling
and Testing Aggregates – Method 3.1 – Sampling – Aggregates and NEPC Schedule 3(B) “Guideline on
Laboratory Analysis of Potentially Contaminated Soils”.
In summary this involves ensuring that the sample is collected with the “utmost care and integrity by properly
trained personnel” so that the “sample represents, as far as practicable, the true nature of the main body of
29
material”.
The composite sample will consist of at least five discrete samples, as described in Australian Standard AS
1141.3.1, Tables 1 and 2, with the discrete samples mixed to form a homogenous composite sample (unless
the contaminants(s) of concern include volatile chemicals and then individual samples will be tested). The
discrete samples shall be collected from random locations throughout the pile, ensuring the procedure used
for collection is in accordance with Australian Standard AS 1141.3.1, Section 6.9, Sampling from Stockpiles.
The sample container, holding time and sample preservation techniques will be in accordance with IWRG
“Sampling and Analysis of Waters, Wastewaters, Soils and Wastes”.
Sample analysis will consist of a soil screen for all contaminants listed in Table 44 and the contaminant of
concern, if not already included. All laboratory analyses will be conducted by a laboratory with NATA
accreditation for the tests to be performed.

Once sample results have been received by SITA the segregated loads will either be accepted as meeting
the licence limits for the facility or rejected. Rejected loads will be immediately returned to the client. Any
equipment contacting the rejected load will be decontaminated following removal.
This process will be documented by SITA with a system established for:
Materials inspection and tracking;
Materials ownership;
Handling of unacceptable materials and associated paperwork; and
Operator training.
End Product Monitoring
Soils processed by DFTD or soil stabilisation will be sampled to ascertain the success of treatment, and to
establish the appropriate disposal options.
End product monitoring involves collection of samples, analysis and categorisation using either the highest
th
result or the 95 percentile value. The number of samples to be collected from each batch is dependent on
the volume of the batch and the method used to categorise the treated soil. SITA will determine the number
of samples to be collected and the method for collection using the sampling guidelines presented in the
IWRG “Soil Sampling”.
Samples will be analysed for all contaminants listed in Table 44 and the contaminants of concern, if not
already included. Samples will also be tested for leachable concentrations in accordance with the Industrial
Waste Resource Guideline “Soil Hazard Categorization”. All laboratory analyses will be conducted by a
laboratory with NATA accreditation for the tests to be performed.

Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
Taylors Rd Landfill
Community Engagement Steering Committee
TERMS OF REFERENCE
1. Background
The State Government has indicated its intention to rely on the Taylors Road landfill at Dandenong
South (formerly Lyndhurst) for “safe management and disposal of industrial waste until 2020”. As a
result, EPA, in collaboration with the cities of Greater Dandenong and Casey and the landfill
operator, SITA, is initiating a community engagement process to be guided by a Community
Engagement Steering Committee (CESC).
This process complements a long-standing and continuing dialogue between SITA and the closest
residents to the landfill in Colemans Road. It is not intended to be a substitute for that long
standing relationship with the residents of Colemans Road, as they are the people most directly
affected by how the landfill operates. Nor is it intended that matters directly affecting only the
residents of Colemans Road are matters for consideration by the CESC.
2. Purpose
The overall aims of broadening the community engagement process for the Taylors Road landfill
are to:
 Build community understanding of, and confidence in, how the landfill works and its
performance is reviewed
 Provide open, accessible and ongoing avenues for community involvement in decisions
affecting the landfill operations
 Provide a model for community involvement in the management of these types of facilities
 Ensure the facility is an example of best practice waste management for Victoria.
3. Role and level of influence
The overall role of the Community Engagement Steering Committee (CESC) is to ensure the fair,
transparent and accountable inclusion of broader community (which includes all stakeholders)
views in decisions about the Taylors Road landfill.
The CESC will also ensure opportunities are maximised for the broader community to:
 build a greater understanding about waste management
 have their views included in decision-making
 deliberate over, and influence, key decisions affecting the monitoring/assessment and
implementation of best practice waste management at the site
 review performance of the site.
The CESC is not a decision-making body. Final management decisions regarding the facility will
rest with SITA and the relevant State and local government regulators.
It is expected that the CESC will provide advice and recommendations on the best ways to
maximise the input and involvement of the broader community as outlined above. The CESC’s
advice on these matters will as far as possible form the basis of plans and actions for ongoing
community involvement.
In keeping with this role, the focus of the group’s discussions will be on matters directly relating to
the operation and monitoring of the landfill itself, rather than on broader matters such as the merits
of State policies, standards and classifications in relation to Prescribed Industrial Waste.
Taylors Road Landfill CESC
1 of 6
Terms of Reference, May 2009
4. Specific tasks and activities
Some of the Community Engagement Steering Committee’s specific tasks will include:
 Contributing to discussion of various issues surrounding the management of the Taylors
Road site such as monitoring and safety, operational issues or future plans
 Identifying varying viewpoints that will need to be presented to the broader community
 Contributing to the plan for engaging with the broader community in the south east
Melbourne metropolitan area
 Reviewing the content of information distributed to the public to ensure it is fair and
balanced.
 Commenting and reviewing any community surveys (or the like) to ensure the design and
distribution is appropriate
 Commenting on advertising, media and potential PR related to community engagement at
the landfill to ensure it is balanced and appropriate
 Agreeing on the participant representation at any events, e.g. including: the stakeholder
groups to be invited, the regional area from which participants will be elicited, the
advertising process to elicit broad and inclusive participation, the selection process if
needed (i.e. if there are too many nominations)
 Contributing to any engagement events as agreed by the group (e.g. as ‘experts’,
observers, table facilitators or scribes, participants)
 Overseeing the outcomes of the process and feedback to participants, and back to SITA
and relevant regulators
 Requesting information from relevant stakeholders including EPA, to assist in clarifying
process and policy regarding waste management in Victoria.

Community involvement
CESC independent facilitator
Phoenix Facilitation
The membership and these Terms of Reference will be reviewed after the first 12 months of
operation by the independent facilitator in consultation with the CESC members and CESC
selection panel (comprising EPA, Greater Dandenong and Casey Councils and SITA). The
frequency of ongoing reviews will be considered at that time. (NB This is not meant to preclude
evaluations of the group’s process and progress during the first 12 months).
Additions or changes to the membership of the group may occur at the discretion of the
independent facilitator in discussion with the CESC if it becomes apparent that the collective
membership of the Community Engagement Steering Committee does not adequately capture the
diversity of backgrounds and views of the landfill’s broad set of stakeholders. Maximum numbers
for the Steering Committee are around 20.
Participation on the CESC:
 is voluntary
 does not preclude members from being involved in other forums and avenues for input to
State policy considerations on industrial waste
 does not affect participants’ rights to participate in any statutory decision-making processes
concerning the operation of the landfill (i.e. members are not required to endorse any
particular decisions or outcome/s of the engagement process, and any differences of view
arising in CESC meetings will be recorded in the minutes).
In joining the CESC, members are both expected and encouraged to:
value the opportunity to help ensure the Taylors Road landfill site is accountable, wellmanaged and an example of best practice waste management for the state
make themselves available to groups and individuals in the wider community (apart from
the media, as addressed in the section on media contact below) as a contact for
information about, and input to, the process
pass on CESC-endorsed information about the process to the community (and input to the
process from the community) whatever their personal views may be [NB information
acquired at CESC meetings may only be circulated if specifically agreed by the CESC]
commit the time to attend meetings as outlined under ‘Meetings’ below.
CESC members will not be assumed to speak for the whole of the broader community; rather they
represent a selection of views and are charged with ensuring that all sectors of the community
have an opportunity to provide their own thoughts and opinions.

Terms of Reference, May 2009
6. Independent facilitator
Bruce Turner of Phoenix Facilitation Pty Ltd has been appointed by EPA Victoria to chair CESC
meetings. His role is to act in the interests of a fair and constructive process. In that role he will
endeavour to be independent and impartial. He will not be providing advice on the merits of
anyone’s view or ideas, or deciding between different options that may be discussed.
The facilitator will review and edit ‘raw’ notes of CESC meetings, prior to their circulation as a draft
to members, to ensure they reflect a balanced record of key points of agreement, actions and
conclusions.
If the facilitator or any other participant becomes aware of any circumstances that might
reasonably be considered to affect the facilitator’s capacity to act impartially, the CESC will be
informed of those circumstances and the Committee will advise whether to continue the process
with the current facilitator.
6.1. Appointment of a new facilitator
If for any reason a new independent facilitator is required to be appointed, the selection of the new
facilitator will be made by a subcommittee of the CESC that is broadly reflective of the CESC’s
membership at the time (including EPA, SITA, Council and community representatives) in
consultation with the CESC.
7. Attendance by non-members
Attendance by non-members at particular meetings may be helpful to the CESC in a variety of
ways, such as providing additional expert knowledge and experience, or strengthening links to
interests not fully represented on the CESC.
The independent facilitator has discretion as to how many visitors can attend a meeting.
Depending on the constraints of the meeting room or process, visitors may be asked to sit
separately from CESC members at meetings.
8. Meetings
The Community Engagement Steering Committee is expected to meet every 4-6 weeks
(approximately).
8.1 Venue
The CESC will determine the location and time of day suitable to the majority of members. Forums
involving the wider community will be held at a variety of other local venues.
8.2 Minutes of meetings
Points of discussion, actions and recommendations from meetings will be recorded as minutes.
The initial draft minutes will be reviewed by the independent facilitator prior to being distributed as
a draft to the Committee (generally at least one week prior to the next meeting). The minutes will
be made publicly available once they have been confirmed by the Committee.
8.3 Conduct
The collective membership of the Community Engagement Steering Committee will, as far as
possible, capture the diversity of backgrounds and views of the facility’s broad set of stakeholders.
Therefore, diversity of opinion within the group is expected. Members are required to respect the
views of others at all times and to contribute to discussion in a manner that provides members with
an equal voice. The members will also actively seek to engage with, and learn from, others.
Since the CESC is not democratically constituted and has no formal decision-making powers,
every effort will be made to develop recommendations and reach conclusions by consensus.

Terms of Reference, May 2009
9. Communication with the wider community
In the interests of an open process and two-way communication between the community and
CESC (as indicated in section 5), members will allow their names and contact numbers to be
publicised in the local community.
In order to ensure balanced reporting of the CESC’s discussions, the minutes of meetings will be
reviewed by the whole group as outlined under ‘Meetings’ above. Once meeting minutes are
confirmed by the CESC, they will be made available on (or via a link from) the websites of the
Councils involved and EPA, and members are encouraged to make them available through their
networks.
9.1 Contact with the media
In order to ensure clear and consistent communication about/from the CESC process, members
are not permitted to speak individually as spokespersons for the CESC or to circulate information
acquired at CESC meetings unless specifically agreed to by the CESC.
Once information is legitimately in the public domain, members are not constrained from publicly
expressing their interest group’s or individual opinions, provided they make it clear that they are not
representing the views of others on the CESC, and do not quote other CESC members.
If the CESC believes a media statement would be helpful to the engagement process at any point,
the CESC will endeavour to agree the content of the statement and delegate the drafting of it, in
the first instance, to the independent facilitator. The facilitator will act as the coordinator for media
inquiries in relation to these media statements.
10. Breaches of these Terms of Reference
If there is a breach of trust in relation to these Terms of Reference, particularly in regard to
communication with the wider community, the CESC (and/or independent facilitator) should
discuss the matter with the member(s) involved. If the breach is repeated, the facilitator has the
discretion to ask the member(s) to leave the CESC.
11. Endorsement
In signing this document, the CESC members indicate their understanding of and agreement to
these Terms of Reference.

Report No. 107613081-001-R-Rev0
Community Engagement Plan:
Proposed Soil Processing Facility at Taylors Road Landfill.
Introduction
SITA Environmental Solutions has briefed the Taylors Road Landfill (TRL) CESC on
its intention to establish a soil treatment facility at TRL. The facility is proposed in
order to secure SITA’s presence in the Prescribed Waste market in the future and in
response to the recent works approval application (by Renex) for a soil treatment
facility at Ordish Road. There is an identified gap in the market, particularly due to
restrictions such as space and short timelines to achieve soil remediation. SITA is
proposing to provide the necessary infrastructure, time and space for customers to
mobilise portable soil treatment equipment. Some the proposed remediation
processes include:
•
•
•
Thermal treatment,
Stabilisation, and
Bioremediation (potential future application).
Members of the CESC have been asked to provide feedback from their community
networks to SITA to indicate likely community concerns and questions so that SITA
is able to respond to and address those aspects that are of most interest to the
community.
The following outlines SITA’s Community Engagement Plan specifically for this
proposal.
Below is a list of stakeholders identified that are to be involved and or targeted for
engagement.
