It may be reproduced for study, research or training purposes subject to the inclusion of an acknowledgement of the source and no commercial usage or sale. 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.

  • Aviation Safety Investigations & Reports
    Aviation safety investigations & reports Collision with water involving a de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver aircraft, VH‑NOO, at Jerusalem Bay, Hawkesbury River, NSW on 31 December 2017 Investigation number: AO-2017-118 Status: Active Phase: Final report: Internal review Update: 3 July 2020 During the draft investigation report review process, the aviation medical specialist engaged by the ATSB recommended that carbon monoxide (CO) toxicology testing be undertaken on blood samples of the aircraft occupants that had been taken and suitably stored by the New South Wales State Coroner. This required testing at a specialised laboratory. With results pending, the ATSB draft report was submitted to Directly Involved Parties (DIPs) in December 2019 for comment. The results of the testing were provided to the ATSB in March 2020, indicating that the pilot and two of the passengers had elevated levels of CO. The ATSB notes that post-mortem examinations established that the pilot and passengers received fatal injuries sustained as a result of the impact sequence. Since receiving the toxicology results, the ATSB has: consulted with New South Wales Health pathology to confirm the integrity of the samples given the preservation method, storage temperature and duration consulted with NSW Health forensic toxicology to confirm the accuracy of testing given the technique used and sample preparation received independent advice from a forensic pharmacologist, and engaged an experienced independent forensic pathologist to advise on the testing and effects of the CO levels found in the occupants undertaken research on CO poisoning and detectors relating to aircraft operations. From this, the ATSB considers the levels of CO detected were likely to have adversely affected the pilot’s ability to control the aircraft during the flight.

A more useful and delightful sheet of water could not have been chosen, situated as it is at the entrance to the Hawkesbury River, just opposite Barrenjoey. To the north is the broad expanse of water known as Brisbane Water, and to its south Pittwater, which is now connected with Sydney, Newport, and Manly by means of a coach running daily. Blind Cove, also called The Basin, is a safe refuge in the very worst of weather. It owes its name of Blind Cove to the fact of its being invisible to the incomer until he has almost reached its entrance, which is very narrow and hidden from view by a low stretch of sand; but inside this narrow passage there is deep water, and the height of the hills surrounding the basin (some 6OOft) so thoroughly shelter it from heavy winds that it might well be called Looking-glass Bay.

  • State Ablaze Firefighting Effort in New South Wales History
    Dedication: This publication is dedicated to the men and women who fought the fires of December 1993 and January 1994, and to the thousands of other volunteers who stand ready to assist their communities and the people of NSW through their dedication and commitment to the NSW Rural Fire Service. Text: Copyright NSW RURAL FIRE SERVICE Unit 3, 175-179 James Ruse Drive Rosehill NSW 2142 Ph: 02 9684 4411 Fax: 02 9638 7956 Illustration: Copyright NSW RURAL FIRE SERVICE Printed January, 1998 ISBN 0-7311-0895-7 Foreword. This publication is designed to place in context the events of December 1993 and January 1994 and to shed some light on the interaction between communities and their environments. Many communities were faced with a fire threat the like of which had not been experienced for at least a decade, with many people having never experienced such a fire storm before. Whilst some accept that fire is a natural and beneficial aspect of our environment, many people take this force for granted and consequently do not prepare for these events. It is in the nature of "disasters" that they fade from public memory quickly. This is an attempt to return to "normality" as soon as possible, and yet, if we fail to learn from these events, we will be as unprepared as ever. Thus we are seen as victims of these occurrences. Unlike floods and cyclones, fires can be prepared for, prevented or at least their impact can be substantially reduced if we accept the need to plan for these events.
