158. Introduction 159.The Pacific Highway Warrell Creek to Nambucca Heads Upgrade project (the Project) is being designed and constructed in a joint venture consisting of ACCIONA Infrastructures Pty Ltd (ACCIONA) and Ferrovial Agroman (Australia) Pty Ltd (Ferrovial), in liaison with various other pre-qualified construction contractors, with overall project management and site supervision of the project by Roads and Maritime. 160.This Pollution Incident Response Management Plan (PIRMP) has been prepared to comply with requirements set out in part 5.7A of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (the POEO Act), stating that holders of an Environment Protection Licence (EPL) must prepare, implement and test a Pollution Incident Response Management Plan (PIRMP) in relation to the activity to which that licence relates. 161.The EPL for the Project is held by ACCIONA.
161.1.Project Background 162.The Project consists of the detailed design and construction of 19.6 km of new dual carriageway road on the Pacific Highway between the northern end of the existing Allgomera Deviation south of Warrell Creek and the southern end of the Nambucca Heads to Urunga Pacific Highway upgrade project west of Nambucca Heads. The Project includes:
19.6 km of new divided dual carriageway;
two grade separated interchanges at Warrell Creek and Bald Hill Road south of Macksville. Roads and Maritime is also investigating the provision of north facing ramps at North Macksville;
longitudinal bridges across Upper Warrell Creek (including North Coast Railway Line), Williamson Creek, Warrell Creek, Nambucca River floodplain (2 of) and Nambucca River;
overbridges on Rosewood Road, Albert Drive, Scotts Heads Quarry access road, Bald Hill Road, Old Coast Road South, Mattick Road and Old Coast Road North;
an underpass at Cockburns Lane;
local roads and drainage and fauna crossing structures; and
associated infrastructure.
The construction of the Project is subject to the licensing provisions of the POEO Act, as a ‘Scheduled activity- premises based’, due to the following activities:
crushing, grinding or separating;
railway systems activities;
land-based extractive activities; and
road construction.
162.1.Purpose 163.This PIRMP has been prepared in accordance with the EPA’s Environmental guidelines: Preparation of pollution incident response management plans (EPA, 2012). 164.To comply with the POEO Act, this PIRMP identifies: • pollution risks and measures that would prevent an incident from occurring; WC2NH-EN-CS-MPL-0001 PIRMP REV: 1 Uncontrolled Copy When Printed Page 6 of 39 POLLUTION INCIDENT RESPONSE MANAGEMENT PLAN Pacific Highway Upgrade: Warrell Creek to Nambucca Heads • further contingency measures that may be applied to minimise the risk of an incident from causing environmental harm; • protocols for notifying a pollution incident, to the relevant authorities and stakeholders (including the community); and • requirements for training of staff, in relation to the plan and its implementation, and ensure the plan is regularly reviewed and tested for accuracy, currency and suitability. 165.This PIRMP is to be implemented in the event that material harm to the environment is caused or threatened.
165.1.Scope 166.This PIRMP applies to the (the Project), which is being constructed by the Pacifico - Acciona Ferrovial Joint Venture (AFJV), and relates to those activities of the Project premises as defined by the EPL and under the control of the AFJV. 167.This PIRMP excludes any activities that occur off the premises, for example the transportation of bulk fuel or hazardous waste by a contractor licensed by the EPA, unless the transportation activity is being undertaken on the premises under the control of the AFJV.
167.1.Meaning of material harm to the environment For the purposes of this PIRMP, harm to the environment is material if: • it involves actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to ecosystems that is not trivial, or • it results in actual or potential loss or property damage of an amount, or amounts in aggregate, exceeding $10,000 (or such other amount as is prescribed by the regulations) Loss includes the reasonable costs and expenses that would be incurred in taking all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent, mitigate or remediate harm to the environment. For the purposes of this Part, it does not matter that harm to the environment is caused only in the premises where the pollution incident occurs. 168.The Environment Manager will determine if an incident is likely to cause or threaten material harm to the environment and if the PIRMP is to be activated. This decision shall be made in consultation with the Project Director.
168.1.Legislation and Other Requirements 169.Subject to Part 5.7A of the POEO Act, AFJV is required to prepare and implement a pollution and incident response plan. Accordingly all relevant provisions of the POEO Act in regards to pollution incident management have been reviewed in the preparation of this PIRMP, to comply with the relevant legislative requirements. A compliance matrix has been established illustrating AFJV compliance to the legislative requirements, and is provided in Appendix 1.

209.1.Detailed actions to prevent adverse impact to the environment Detailed Actions to prevent adverse impact to the environment as caused by a pollution incident are described below: • If the Pollution Incident cannot be SAFELY controlled or mitigated with the available resources on site the emergency authorities (Fire Brigade etc) will attend to the incident and implement any necessary measures. The emergency authorities will control the site. • If the Pollution Incident can be SAFELY controlled or mitigated with the available resources on site. WC2NH-EN-CS-MPL-0001 PIRMP REV: 1 Uncontrolled Copy When Printed Page 12 of 39 POLLUTION INCIDENT RESPONSE MANAGEMENT PLAN Pacific Highway Upgrade: Warrell Creek to Nambucca Heads The following detailed actions shall be undertaken under the direction of the relevant site supervisor [CORRECT PPE SHALL BE WORN IN ACCORDANCE WITH RELEVANT SDS].
o Isolate the source of pollution: e.g by shutting off valves, relocating oil drums to bunded area, re-directing discharge points away from sensitive environmental areas;
o Contain the pollution using available resources on site including spill kits, oil containment booms, sand bags, mulch material, geofabric;
o Protect any environmentally sensitive area from pollution using available resources. These may include known areas of critically endangered habitat or the Nambucca River oyster leases;
o Clean up the pollution (both on site and off site) using available resources such as sand, flocculants, spill kits, oil booms, mulch. Materials to be used will depend on the scale and nature of the incident;
o If additional resources are required such as sucker trucks, these shall be ordered to site as soon as it is safe to do so; and
o Dispose of any contamination and materials in accordance with EPA waste classification and disposal requirements.
• When the pollution incident has been effectively cleaned up, a visual inspection shall be undertaken of the environment downstream from where the incident occurred. The inspection shall be undertaken by the Environment Manager to determine whether the mitigation and cleanup actions have been effective. The Environment Manager shall determine whether or not additional investigations shall be undertaken. This will depend on the nature of the pollution incident and may include but not be limited to:
o Additional water testing for relevant contaminants such as suspended solids and hydrocarbons;
o Ecological monitoring to determine the effects of the pollution incident on flora and/or fauna;
o Groundwater or Soil contamination testing; and
o Monitoring of airborne contaminants such as fumes, asbestos.
Further details are provided in the Emergency Response Plan.

Appendix 5: Pollution Notification Protocol
Pollution Notification to Community Stakeholders Protocol Whether or not the local community stakeholders are notified of a pollution incident will depend on the incident type and severity, and the potential to impact on the community. Community stakeholder notification is required for events that will result in an unacceptable health risk to community stakeholders. This could be during an incident (e.g immediate risk of harm to health) or following an incident (e.g. due to the presence of harmful contaminant in soil or potential impacts to fisheries) in this circumstance, stakeholders will be notified in a manner that is appropriate for the type and severity of the incident. The Community Relations Manager, in consultation with the Environment Manager and the Project Director shall determine if community notification is required, the mechanisms by which the notification is made and the extent of the notification. The notification measures will be directed by the Community Relations Manager and may include one or more of the following:
Publication of incident related notification on Project website
Distribution of Letter Box Drops
Individual briefings of affected residents
Mechanisms for early warnings and ongoing regular updates to the community may include
Doorknock of residents, businesses and others (e.g schools) potentially impacted by the incident
Phone contact/messages
Media notification
Use of technology such as Variable Message / Motorway signage and radio communications.
In extreme cases, where the emergency services are required to attend site and control the incident, community notification will be undertaken by the relevant emergency service. For instance, if the incident results in a fire off site, that threatens the safety of local residents, the local fire brigade will control external communications and will co-ordinate the necessary evacuations.
