In other cases, Melbourne Water has developed its own policies on environment and community obligations. Examples include the No Sewage Spills and Community Relations policies. Incidents Melbourne Water uses a hierarchy of seriousness for reporting incidents. This allows the Corporation to compare incident records from year to year. In the four years the hierarchy has been used, there has not been an incident at the two highest levels: five and four. Melbourne Water responds to some incidents not attributable to its operations; for example pollution of waterways by factories or other businesses. Such incidents are not assigned an incident level. Description of incident levels Incident level five Catastrophic incidents needing resolution which have an irreversible environmental or serious public health impact. Incident level four Major incidents which are serious in nature and of longer duration that result in widespread community concern. 4 MW EnvComObAR1999 for PDF 5/11/99 10:02 AM Page 5 F ULFIL OUR C OMMUNITY O BLIGATIONS Providing High Quality, Safe Drinking Water Key Achievements and Issues for 1998/99 > 12 people were prosecuted for being in closed catchment areas and six cases are pending. > Melbourne Water supplied the metropolitan retail water companies with 489,700 million litres of water. > More than 40,000 tests were carried out on drinking water samples taken from some 140 sites within Melbourne Water’s system including the interface points with the retail system. > The Corporation achieved its target for 99 per cent of the water samples being free of faecal coliform bacteria. > A research project began to determine whether pathogens, such as crytosporidium & giardia, from animals in the water supply catchments, have an impact on drinking water quality. > There were 29 incidents at disinfection plants, most of them caused by power or equipment failure.

  • Historic-Gold-Mining-Sites-In-The-St
    VICTORIAN GOLDFIELDS PROJECT HISTORIC GOLD MINING SITES IN ST ANDREWS MINING DIVISION DRAFT 8/7/99 CULTURAL HERITAGE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES & ENVIRONMENT JUNE 1999 1 1. Background 1.1 Introduction This report is based on the results of historical archaeology surveys undertaken from 1996 to 1999. The research, fieldwork and consultation undertaken during this time indicate that the study area experienced intermittent and relatively small-scale gold mining from the early 1850s. The study area contains the various goldfields and mining centres that once formed the historic mining administrative region known as the St Andrews Mining Division. The main goldfields and their key mining locations are: • Warrandyte Goldfield ¾ Anderson’s Creek and No.1to No.4 Hills. • Caledonia Goldfield¾Queenstown (now known as St Andrews), One Tree Hill, Kingston (now known as Pantons Hill), Kangaroo Grounds, You You Hill, Kingstown, South Morang, Arthur’s Creek, Nillumbik (now known as Diamond Creek), Steele’s Creek, Yarrambet and Kinglake. • Upper Yarra Goldfield¾ Warburton, Britannia, Yankee Jims, Big Pats, Hoddle’s, McMahons Creek, and Wombat creeks. • Mornington Peninsula Goldfield¾ Tubbarrubba, Tyabb, Mt Martha, and Frankston. • Dandenong Goldfield¾ Emerald, Nicholson, Berwick, and Gembrook. The study area is centred on Warrandyte (Victoria’s first official gold discovery location) and stretches northeast from the Mornington Peninsula to the upper reaches of the Yarra River. The majority of the sites investigate date from the late nineteenth century, and the main site types recorded are associated with re-working shallow alluvial ground and quartz reefing. The recent age of surviving mining relics is a reflection of the temporary and basic nature of the early gold rush activities undertaken and the re-mining that occurred, resulting in the disappearance of earlier sites.

This may include rainwater, stormwater, creek/river water and recycled water. Blackwater: Sewage or water discharged from toilets and kitchen sinks. Catchment: An area that drains to a given point, typically drainage is dictated by topography but may be modified by man-made structures including drains and canals. Desalinated Water: Potable water that is produced by removing salt and other minerals from seawater or brackish water. Directly connected impervious (DCI): the proportion of the impervious surface of a catchment that is directly connected to a stream through a conventional drainage connection. It is an established indicator of the likely degradation of ecological health in urban waterways due to stormwater. Evapotranspiration: The combined processes of evaporation (i.e. the transfer of water from the land to the atmosphere) and transpiration (i.e. the transfer of water from plants to the atmosphere). Green Roofs: Green roofs consist of a growing medium, typically soil, and vegetation placed on a roof surface. The vegetation and soil soak up rainfall and in the process reduce runoff and pollutants entering the stormwater drainage network. Green roofs may be extensive (i.e. thin growing media that only support small plants) or intensive (i.e. deep growing media that supports large shrubs and even trees). Green Walls: A wall that is partially or completely covered with vegetation, this vegetation is supported by a growing medium such as soil.

No 3 Field Nats Fauna Survey The Field Naturalists Club of Victoria and the Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater conducted a fauna survey at Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve (YNCR) from 13 th – 15 th July 2007. Despite the cool, drizzly weather 25 people attended and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Nineteen animals were trapped, identified, sexed, weighed and released over the weekend. The species trapped were Dusky Antechinus, Agile Antechinus, Bush Rat and House Mouse. This information will be included in the Atlas of Victorian Wildlife database. Twenty eight species of bird were identified during day and evening walks as well as two frog species, Brush Tail Possums, Sugar Gliders and Swamp Wallabies. The Field Naturalists are keen to return to conduct a bat survey and possibly a reptile survey. The information from these surveys increases our understanding of the species diversity and habitat within YNCR which assists with future management plans. If you are interested in participating in future surveys please contact our Coordinators, Bruce or Sue, on 5964-8341 to register your interest.
