Reproduction for purposes other than those listed requires permission from Sydney Water. Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program | Vol 1 Data Report 2019-20 Page | i Executive summary Background Sydney Water operates 23 wastewater treatment systems and each system has an Environment Protection Licence (EPL) regulated by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Each EPL specifies the minimum performance standards and monitoring that is required. The Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program (STSIMP) commenced in 2008 to satisfy condition M5.1a of our EPLs. The results are reported to the NSW EPA every year. The STSIMP aims to monitor the environment within Sydney Water’s area of operations to determine general trends in water quality over time, monitor Sydney Water’s performance and to determine where Sydney Water’s contribution to water quality may pose a risk to environmental ecosystems and human health. The format and content of 2019-20 Data Report predominantly follows four earlier reports (2015-16 to 2018-19). Sydney Water’s overall approach to monitoring (design and method) is consistent with the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC 2000 and ANZG 2018) guidelines.

    Wallumetta The Newsletter of Ryde-Hunters Hill Flora and Fauna Preservation Society Inc. JUNE 2019 - No. 275 PRESIDENT’S NOTE The future jobs are in the zero emissions global economy. The outcome of the recent Federal election may be seen as the result of the conflict between the environment and jobs. The Coalition gained 23 of the 30 seats in Queensland and it looks like they will have a total 77 seats in the new Parliament and the ALP 68 with six independents. The major issue in the seats won by the Coalition in Queensland is the level of unemployment and the Adani coal mining project held out the prospect of more jobs for Queensland. The Coalition expressed support for coal mining. However, Professor Ross Garnaut, in the last of six recent lectures on Climate Change discussed “Australia - The superpower of the zero emissions global economy” (www.rossgarnaut.com.au). Ross Garnaut is an economist whose career has been built around the analysis of and practice of policy connected to development, economics and international relations in Australia, Asia and the Pacific. This includes being principal economic adviser to the Prime Minister Bob Hawke, producing the Garnaut Climate Change Review in 2008 and appointment as independent expert to the Multy-Party Climate Change Committee in 2010. In his lecture Ross Garnaut discusses the decline of the coal industry and the opportunities arising for Australia in a global economy which is moving towards zero emissions. Garnaut sets out the industries where Australia, because of its natural and other characteristics will have a competitive advantage.

  • Epping to Thornleigh Third Track Environmental Impact Statement

    Epping to Thornleigh Third Track Environmental Impact Statement

    Epping to Thornleigh Third Track Environmental Impact Statement 14. Surface and groundwater This chapter considers the potential impacts of the ETTT proposal on surface and groundwater including water quality. 14.1 Existing conditions 14.1.1 Surface water and drainage The proposal site is located predominantly within the upstream areas of the Byles and Zig Zag Creek catchments, and downstream of the Upper Devlins Creek catchment. Surface waterways within the vicinity of the proposal site include Devlins Creek, Byles Creek, Zig Zag Creek and a number of smaller unnamed overland flow paths. These creeks are shown on Figure 14.1 except Zig Zag Creek which is located just to the north of the figure extent. The external catchments between Epping Station and Pennant Hills Road generally drain from the western side of the corridor to the eastern side, towards Devlins Creek and Byles Creek. These creeks discharge to the Lane Cove River. North of Pennant Hills Station, the catchment falls from the eastern to the western side towards Zig Zag Creek, which discharges into Berowra Creek. The ETTT proposal would pass through undulating terrain, with Devlins Creek the only major watercourse crossing the corridor. Flooding of the creek is unlikely to impact the existing rail corridor, as the creek is located more than 20 metres below the corridor level. No works are proposed in Devlins Creek. There are currently 19 drainage culverts which convey surface water across the railway corridor. Due to the construction of the third track, 14 of these culverts would be required to be extended. 14.1.2 Surface water quality Water quality monitoring is undertaken at a number of locations within the Hornsby LGA, and the results are provided in Council’s Annual Water Quality Report.
