1. Introduction website are intended for public perusal only and should not be reproduced
The Gourmet Oil Company (Australia), trading as Hagen Oil Pty Ltd, proposes the relocation of an existing oil
recycling facility from 26 Murphy St Invermay to 1 Venture Court, Invermay.
The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) advised on 4 August 2017 that the environmental impact of the
above proposal will be assessed by the Board of the Environment Protection Authority (the Board) as a class
2A assessment under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (the EMPC Act).
The EPA issued guidelines for the preparation of this Environmental Effects Report (EER) in August 2017 and
this EER follows the format and heading system as suggested in that advice.
The Murphy St site operates under Environment Protection Notice (EPN) No 7804/1 which provides for the
use of the site as an oil refinery where “used oil is refined or reprocessed by filtration or physical or chemical
separation”. All waste water is discharged to an external treatment plant. This EPN outlines requirements for
decommissioning and rehabilitation of the site including a requirement for the submission of a draft
Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan (DRP) prepared in accordance with any guidelines provided by the
Director. This will include removal or mitigation of all environmental hazards or land contamination likely to
pose an ongoing risk.

Part B Proposal description reproduce the document in their web browser for the sole purpose of viewing the
The proposal involves the relocation of the existing Hagen Oil facility from 26 Murphy St to 1 Venture Court,
Invermay. The operation will be located within an addition to the existing building on that site. This addition
was approved by City of Launceston Council (DA0490/2016 on 10 January 2017) and complies with all
requirements of the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015 and building requirements. The office
component of the approved development has been constructed.
2. Description of proposed activity

The proposed facility will process waste oil and related products which are collected in tankers and delivered
to the site. These products will be separated, recycled and packaged for re-sale or disposal.
Hagen Oil currently operate under the following permits which will be renewed at the new premises:
• Controlled Waste Handler Certificate of Registration.
• Tasmanian Fire Service approved plan
• Safe Work Tasmania compliance.
The following sections of this report outline the processes involved. Site plans showing the location of
equipment and processing facilities are provided in Appendix A.
2.1 Materials handled

Waste accepted at the site includes the following:
• used oil
• mixed diesel and petrol fuels
• coolant
• oily water mixtures
• used oil filters and drums
• containers for the above.
Solid wastes in small amounts may also be accepted where they form part of the oil or oil/water mixtures.
The site will not accept the following:
• any form of PCB or PBB material (these are shipped to Sibelco at Mole Creek with appropriate disposal
documents)
• solvents in any form
• organochlorine or organophosphate pesticides
• grease trap waste.
The operation may look to expanding its operations to take grease trap waste in the future but that does not
form part of this application.
2.2 Loading and unloading

The unloading and processing of all materials will occur within purpose built bunded areas in the approved
extension. A triple interceptor will be incorporated into the drainage system servicing the bunded area.
Vehicles associated with the use will be parked inside the original building (approved as a bus depot).
Approximately 20 trucks per day will be utilised to deliver waste oil to the site plus individual deliveries. Ten
employees (FTE) will be present on site at varying times through the day.

2.3 Process description Planning Administration
The process for waste receipt and processing at the site will be as follows: reproduce the document in their web browser for the sole purpose of viewing the
• Trucks enter the yard with tankered materials or individual 205 L drums. Trucks are compartmentalised
to allow for separate containment of coolant, mixed fuels and waste oils. Waste oils, coolant and other
product is also delivered to the site in small containers (retails size bottles, etc).
• Material is checked against transmittal papers, the volume measured and logged into a database on
arrival.
• A sample of the material is assessed for odour, colour and the presence of solids. A flame test is carried
out and laboratory analysis may be undertaken if required.
• If the material does not meet specifications and is unable to be processed it is not accepted by Hagen Oil
and is sent back to the source. The responsibility for appropriate disposal lies with the person generating
the material. If material does not meet specifications but is suitable for on-processing elsewhere then it
will be stored in a bunded and covered area for forwarding to interstate processors.
• After initial assessment, the liquid oil wastes are discharged via hose to a waste oil settling tank which
allows oil to be skimmed off and water to be discharged to holding tanks.
• Other materials (coolant, oil filters, etc) are transferred to respective storage areas. Coolant is treated
using separation by gravity to remove any solids then is stored for re-sale or discharged to the general
waste water stream for processing (see below). The resultant effluent is discharged to the TasWater
system in accordance with the relevant trade waste agreement (TWA). Containers are stored for
processing (see below).
• Oil filters are drained and then stored pending sale – they are not washed
• Plastic bottles are drained, rinsed, crushed or shredded then either stored in bins or baled up and stored
on the floor until a sufficient quantity is accumulated for sale
• Oil drums have the tops removed, are drained, washed then crushed and baled up – these are stored on
the floor pending sale as scrap
• Water from rinsing drums or containers goes through the waste water stream
• Mixed diesel/petrol is collected for storage for sale - this generally occurs within 3 months of collection
• Waste oil and oil/water mixes are directed to a series of oil settling tanks for further refinement
• Some of the settling processes may take up to several months to achieve the objective of separation for
reuse or management. No mechanical agitation processes or chemicals are utilised. Any solid material
that settles to the bottom of the tank is treated as solid waste after excess oil is drained
• Oil is decanted off and put through a number of further settlement/filtration processes until graded and
placed into individual containers for storage prior to sale
• Sludge is allowed to settle and separate multiple times until it is reduced enough to be dried (in the open
air – no heat application or other means) – then sold or disposed of to landfill
• Any waste water generated is processed prior to discharge to sewer. This is treated by settling and
decanting and removal of solids. The final step involves detention and treatment to reduce the levels of
glycol, hydrocarbons, metals and BOD/COD. This will aim to reduce the concentration of these
contaminants to levels suitable for discharge to the sewage treatment plant (STP). The final waste water
will be discharged as trade waste in accordance with the TWA.
• Waste will be stored in JJ Richards skip bins under cover. No bins will be stored in the open.
This process is indicated schematically in Figure 1 with photographs of the current operation in Plate 1 to
Plate 8.

3. Proposal area Planning Administration

3.1 General Description

The site is located at 1 Venture Court in the Launceston suburb of Invermay, approximately 1.5 km north of
the Central Business District in the north of Tasmania. The land is located on the outskirts of Invermay,
separated from the Tamar River (Ti-Tree Bend) by the STP. Land to the east, between the site and the
highway, is filled land developed as sporting fields for Launceston Grammar. Land to the west is developed
for industrial purposes and is separated from the river, 630 m to the west, by rural land.
Figure 2 General locality
3.2 Tenure
The land parcel is legally described as PID: 2903297 and Title Reference: 155196/1. A copy of the title is
provided in Appendix B. Figure 2 presents an aerial image which shows the site and general location.
3.3 Soils and elevation

The area is generally low-lying and subject to flood inundation. However, the land comprising Venture Court
has been filled and the site of the proposed activity is above flood level. Land in the locality has been cleared
and there is no native vegetation in close proximity other than limited riparian vegetation 300 m to the north.
The land is generally flat, being located on an alluvial plain. Soils on site are mapped in the Mineral Resources
Tasmania (MRT) Geological Polygons, 1:25,000 mapping.

The site is underlain by Quaternary sediments of the Undifferentiated Cenozoic sequences and the geology
of the area is generally defined as Qhiv. Qhiv is described as estuarine deposits of clayey silt, silt, sand and
subordinate gravel, supra-estuarine swamp and laterally derived alluvial, deposits, unmapped man-made
deposits including silt dredgings; in environments inferred to lie above frequent tidal influence. The site is
mapped as having a high probability (>70% chance) of occurrence of acid sulfate soils (ASS). In floodplains
under 2m AHD, ASS are generally present within the upper 1 m. However, the site has been filled above the
natural surface level and no activities are proposed which will expose acid sulfate soils.
3.4 Land use and zoning

The activity proposed is to be located within an existing building on the corner of Venture Court and Gilmore
St, Invermay. The site has sealed access to Invermay Rd via Murphy St and Forster St. All services are
connected to the site. The site has an area of 4,115 m2 and is approximately 94.5 m by 44 m in dimensions.
The approved and existing buildings on site have a combined gross floor area of 1,583 m 2. There are no
easements or similar constraints shown on the title plan.
The site is zoned General Industrial under the Launceston Interim Planning Scheme 2015 (the Planning
Scheme) and was previously used as a depot for the housing and maintenance of buses (Sainty’s Coaches).
The area is predominantly industrial in nature with the long term presence of the STP limiting the nature of
development in the locality. The sports fields are used as required by the school, including on week days and
weekends, when the proposed facility will not be in use.
There is residential development (approximately 85 lots) within 500 m of the site, to the south and east.
However, the latter is separated from the site by the highway. The nearest residential development is located
approximately 180 m to the south off Weaving Place.
3.5 Climate
A weather station is located at the Ti-Tree Bend STP. Data for the period 1980 to 2017 from
http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_091237.shtml was accessed on 7 September 2017.
The average summer maximum temperature is 24.6 oC and the average winter maximum temperature is
12.6 oC. The average summer minimum temperature is 12.3 oC and the average winter minimum is 2.3 oC.
These records are consistent with patterns since 1980 as demonstrated in Figure 3 and Figure 4. The highest
rainfall is recorded during July and August. The period between April and November typically averages a
minimum of 50 mm a month as demonstrated in Figure 5. Winds are predominantly (approximately 50%)
from the north and north east throughout the day and predominantly less than 30 km/hr in strength in the
later portion of the day. Morning winds are predominantly less than 10 km/hr. Wind roses for 9:00 am and
3:00 pm are provided at Figure 6 and Figure 7.

3.6 Map and site plan

The locality map at Figure 8 shows the site in the context of the nearest residential areas, access routes and
other surrounding land use. The site plan and floor layout in Appendix A show the proposed internal fit out
of the facility. No storage or processing is proposed outside the building. Vehicles associated with the activity
will be parked within the building. There is no native vegetation on or near the site. There are no natural
watercourses on or immediately adjacent the site. An open stormwater drain is located adjacent the site
running along the boundary of Gilmore St which collects water from Venture Court and properties further
along Gilmore St. This drain ultimately discharges to the Tamar River via a drain passing through the STP site.
3.7 Biodiversity values

The site is comprised entirely of hardstand and existing infrastructure and no remnant vegetation is present.
TASVEG 3.0 identifies the site as (FUM) Extra-urban miscellaneous. Land in the locality has also been cleared
and there is no native vegetation in close proximity other than limited riparian vegetation 300 m to the north.
The site offers no suitable habitat for native flora or fauna.

3.8 Rationale and alternatives

The proposal involves the relocation of an existing oil recycling business to a new site. The facility will be
established as new on this site and will better accommodate the operational and space requirements of the
business. The processing will all be conducted under cover which reduces the potential for the movement of
oils into stormwater and lowers the potential for odour and visual impacts. There is sufficient area on site for
the manoeuvring of large vehicles and parking of all employee and client vehicles.
The alternative is to leave the facility at its current location which is undesirable from operational and
environmental perspectives. There is insufficient land area at the current site and some processes and
storage are located in the open where they are exposed to the elements. The use proposed requires an
industrial location and the proposed location is appropriately zoned and located near uses that will not be
impacted by the operations.
4. Statutory context
Legislation exists at federal, state and local levels directed at the protection of the environment and the
sustainable management of development. This legislation and its effect is summarised in Table 2 and relevant
requirements discussed in this section.
Table 2 Environmental legislation and its application to the proposal
Statute Requirement
Commonwealth
Environment Protection and This act provides for the protection of nationally significant species
Biodiversity Conservation Act and ecological communities as well as compliance, enforcement and
1999 (EPBC Act) fines. All activities require consideration against this act.
An assessment against this act is included in this EER.
State
Aboriginal Relics Act 1975 This act relates to the protection of Aboriginal cultural heritage. The
site has been developed and no additional ground disturbance is
proposed. No impacts on Aboriginal cultural heritage are expected.
Environmental Management and The proposal is a Level 2 activity under Schedule 2 of EMPCA. The
Pollution Control Act 1994 Board of the Environmental Protection Authority will assess the
(EMPCA) potential environmental impacts in accordance with this Act and, if it
allows the project to proceed, will determine conditions for Council to
include in the permit if the project is approved. Regulations and
environmental protection policies made under EMPCA will also apply
to the proposed activity.
This EER describes how the potential environmental impacts of the

proposal will be managed and mitigated.
Forest Practices Act 1985 A Forest Practices Plan (FPP) is required under the Forest Practices Act
1985 where the clearing of forest is in excess of 1 hectare or 100
tonnes of timber (in areas of ‘vulnerable land’ these thresholds are
lower).
No clearing in excess of 1 ha is proposed. No FPP is required.

Statute Requirement content. The Council reserves all other rights. Documents displayed on the Council's
Historic Cultural Heritage Act This Act relates to the protection of European and other cultural
1995 heritage. The site has been developed and no additional ground
disturbance is proposed. No impacts on heritage are expected.
Land Use Planning and Approvals Under LUPAA, Councils are required to administer the development
Act 1993 (LUPAA) and use of land within their municipal boundary. The assessment of
development and use is undertaken in accordance with the relevant
planning scheme. This proposal will be the subject of a permit
application under LUPAA to Launceston City Council.
Nature Conservation Act 2002 This act identifies and regulates threatened native vegetation
communities.
The site is comprised entirely of hardstand and existing infrastructure
and no remnant vegetation is present. There are no requirements
under this act.
The State Policies and Projects Act Currently there are three State policies
1993 established the process to • State Coastal Policy 1996
put in place State policies under
• State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997
the RMPS of Tasmania. 
• State Policy on Protection of Agricultural Land 2009
The Coastal Policy is applicable to State waters and land within one
kilometre inland of the high-water mark. The site is not within the
coastal zone. The site is not prime agricultural land and is not subject
to the last of these policies. This report assesses the impact of the
policy on water quality management.
Threatened Species Protection Act This act lists threatened species and regulates activities that may
1995 result in their disturbance. The requirements of this act are addressed
in this EER.
The site and land in the locality has been cleared and there is no native
vegetation in close proximity other than limited riparian vegetation
300 m to the north.
Weed Management Act 1999 This act declares certain plants as weeds and outlines measures for
their control, including land owner obligations.
Local
Launceston Interim Planning The proposal is located within the boundaries of the Launceston local
Scheme 2015 (Planning Scheme). government area. The proposed use and development will be
assessed in accordance with the Planning Scheme.
4.1 Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act

1999
Under the Commonwealth Government’s EPBC Act the proponent must determine whether or not the
project is likely to be a ‘controlled action’ and require referral for approval from the Commonwealth Minister
for the Environment. An action will require approval from the Minister if the action has, will have, or is likely
to have a significant impact on Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES), which encompass all
species and communities listed under the EPBCA, certain activities and places of national importance. A
‘significant impact’ is an impact which is important, notable, or of consequence, having regard to its context
or intensity.

A search for MNES was conducted using the Protected Matters Search Tool on 4 July 2017
(http://www.environment.gov.au/webgis-framework/apps/pmst/pmst.jsf). A copy of the search results is
attached in Appendix C. This search identified a number of MNES that could potentially occur within 1 km of
the site; however, these are predominantly marine fauna and flora species associated with the Tamar River
and nearby low lying or wetland areas (refer Appendix B).
Some terrestrial carnivores (raptors, quolls and devils) have potential to occur within the wider locality
outside Launceston urban area but the site does not offer any suitable habitat for these species or for the
other species recorded throughout Launceston, the swift parrot. The site is comprised entirely of hardstand
and existing infrastructure and no remnant vegetation is present. The proposed project is not expected to
have any impact on matters of MNES and does not propose any MNES actions. Referral under the EPBC Act
is therefore not required.
4.2 State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997

The purpose of the Water Quality Policy is to achieve the sustainable management of Tasmania’s surface
water and groundwater resources by protecting or enhancing their qualities while allowing for sustainable
development in accordance with the objectives of the RMPS.
The State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997 contains provisions that require consideration of
erosion and stormwater controls during construction and use to ensure that best practice environmental
management is implemented at development sites. It is considered that the planning scheme and EPA
requirements, with input from TasWater, will ensure that a best practice approach to stormwater
management is adopted.
The proposed use will be conducted in a purpose-built facility with no exposure to rain, limiting the potential
for any waterborne contaminants to enter stormwater systems. Any spills will be contained by bunding and
collected for return to the processing facilities on site. The car park and turning areas will be sealed to prevent
the generation of dust and transport of sediment into stormwater systems.

4.4.1 Zoning content. The Council reserves all other rights. Documents displayed on the Council's
The site is zoned General Industrial under the Planning Scheme as shown in Figure 9. Within the General
Industrial zone recycling and waste disposal is generally a Permitted use; however, in this case there are
overlays applicable to the site which alter the level of assessment to Discretionary.
4.4.2 Zone Purpose (numbers reflect clauses within Interim Planning Scheme)
Purpose statements applicable to the General Industrial zone are:
• 25.1.1.1 To provide for manufacturing, processing, repair, storage and distribution of goods and materials
where there may be impacts on neighbouring uses.
• 25.1.1.2 To provide for uses that are complementary to and compatible with the above purpose.
The proposed use is consistent with the purpose of the zone. The relocation of the facility to this site will
allow for improved operating conditions and consequently improved environmental management outcomes.
The site is located adjacent industrial land, playing fields and the STP with limited potential for impacts on
residential uses in the locality.
There are no local area objectives or desired future character statements for the General Industrial zone.
4.4.3 Use Table

Recycling and waste disposal facilities are a permitted use within the General Industrial zone where not for
a refuse disposal site. No wastes are permanently stored on site and the proposed use meets this
qualification.
4.4.4 Use Standards

Within the Interim Planning Scheme, the following use standards applicable to the General Industrial zone
need to be considered:
Use standards
25.3.1 External storage of goods

To ensure that external storage of goods, materials and waste does not detract from the amenity of the
area.
A1 The relocation of the activity to this site will allow
Storage of goods and materials, other than for retail processing and storage facilities to be located within
sale, or waste must not be visible from any road or a building, thereby reducing the potential for
public open space adjoining the site. impacts on visual amenity. The primary benefit of
indoor operations are from an environmental
management perspective (no rainfall on to
operational surfaces, improved stormwater quality,
etc). However, operations will be less visible and
less audible when conducted indoors. The site is
relatively flat which limits visibility into the facility
and landscaping will be provided along the street
frontage to minimise further the visual impacts.
The proposal is considered to satisfy the
performance criteria for this objective.
25.3.2 Emissions impacting sensitive uses
To ensure that emissions to air, land and water are not detrimental to the amenity of sensitive uses

A1 A sensitive use is defined as a residential use or a
Uses must be set back from the site of a sensitive use involving the presence of people for extended
use a distance of no less than 100m. periods except in the course of their employment,
such as in a caravan park, childcare centre, dwelling,
hospital or school.
The nearest residential development is more than
170 m to the south of the site of the proposed use.
The intervening land has been developed for other
industrial purposes and a road. It is considered that
there is adequate separation between the proposed
use and residential development in the locality.
The land to the east of the site contains sports fields
which are used during school hours and on
weekends. Use during operating hours is generally
for limited periods of time (school time constraints).
There are no emissions from the site which are
considered likely to impact on users of the sports
fields.
Land to the north of the site is occupied by the
sewage treatment plant and land immediately
adjoining the site is developed or zoned for
industrial purposes. Workers adjacent the proposed
use are unlikely to be impacted by any emissions
generated by the proposed activity.
The proposal is considered to satisfy the
performance criteria for this objective.
4.4.5 Development Standards

The extension of the building which will accommodate the proposed facility was approved under a separate
development application (DA0490/2016 approved on 10 January 2017). No development is proposed as part
of this application other than the internal installation of tanks and processing equipment.

5.1 Stormwater management

Stormwater from the site currently enters two pits on site which connect to an underground pipe along the
eastern boundary of the lot (which is within a 5 m wide drainage easement). Water from this pipe flows
through an open drain along the northern frontage of the lot into a pit before passing under the road to the
Ti-Tree bend sewage treatment plant (STP) site. Water is discharged from this pipe in to another open drain
some distance inside the STP site which continues through and around the site to the Tamar River.
Connection is via pits in the carpark and turning area. This discharge will continue but the hardstand areas
will be sealed to reduce the transportation of sediment into stormwater.
All processing will occur under cover to ensure that rain is not falling on stored materials or processing
equipment. Internal areas where processing occurs will be bunded to ensure any spills are contained. The
location of all operations under cover in bunded areas prevents the release of potential pollutants to
stormwater systems. Pits in the operational/bunded areas will be pumped out and material processed
through the facility to maximise recovery of oils. Residual water will be discharged in accordance with the
TWA.
Materials in the tanks on site will be undergoing different stages in the separation and recycling process and
the tanks are not interconnected. The largest tank volumes in the bunded areas are 55,000 L and 22,000 L.
The requirements are that the bunded area have a capacity equivalent to the greater of the following:
• at least 110% of the combined volume where tanks are interconnected – not applicable
• at least 110% of the volume of the largest vessel – 55,000 L tanks require 60,500 L; 22,000 L tanks require
24,200 L
• at least 25% of the total volume of all vessels in that bunded area – 41,250 L and 33,000 L required for
the areas proposed
• the capacity of the largest tank plus the output of the firewater system over a 20 minute period (fire
system output unknown)
The relevant volumes for the tank storage areas proposed are 60,500 L (three tank area) and 33,000 L (six
tank area). The bunded capacity of these areas is 169,000 L and 158,000 L respectively. This exceeds the
requirements for storage of hazardous substances (which includes fuels and oils) in tanks that are not
interconnected.
Processing predominantly occurs in closed tanks, all under cover which prevents any ingress of rainfall. Winds
(and therefore rain drift) are predominantly from the northwest and north which are areas occupied by the
truck access and three large tanks. Much of the process area is located behind the office/truck parking
(existing building) section of the building.
The site has been filled above the 1% ARI flood event and during flood events no material will be brought to
the site for processing due to the disruption of transport routes. This will prevent the need for storage of
materials outside covered areas.
5.2 Significant areas

The site of the proposed activity is located within an established industrial area opposite, the STP for
Launceston. It is not located within or adjacent to an area reserved for the conservation or management of
natural values. Land to the east is zoned for recreation, being part of the Grammar school playing fields. The

PLANNING EXHIBITED
DOCUMENTS
Ref. No: DA 0656/2017
Date
Tamar River and riparian zone is zoned Environmental Management; however, this is 260 m from the site
boundary at its closest point.
5.3 Air emissions

No heating processes are involved. Oils and other substances are recycled using filtration and gravity
separation with no chemical or mechanical treatment. The materials and processes involved generate very
little in terms of volatile substances and there is little potential for any air emissions.
Most of the separation and distillation processes will occur within enclosed tanks. Processing will occur in
the rear of the site (refer to Appendix A) which is an open structure. This allows any odours to disperse freely
with no concentration or point source.
Any potential odours should also be considered in light of the STP which is located directly opposite and is a
continuous source of odours significantly greater than the odour of oil. No mitigation is considered necessary.
5.4 Liquid effluent

Hagen Oil currently operates under a draft TWA with TasWater pending relocation to the proposed site.
1.9 million litres of waste water was discharged to sewer under this agreement in 2016 and 31,800 L of
coolant. These figures are expected to be similar for the 2017 reporting period. This includes water extracted
from processed oil and waste water from truck and drum washout. Discharge water contains hydrocarbons,
oils and grease, glycol, salts, organics and limited amounts of metals. Water is passed through a number of
filtration and separation processes to recover as much oil / grease as possible. No chemical treatment
(flocculent, etc) is applied to waste water however additional detention and processing is proposed to reduce
levels of these contaminants to suitable concentrations for discharge to sewer.
Prior to commencement of operations at the new site all equipment will be installed and tested to ensure
proper operation. During commissioning of the facility monitoring of all proposed discharges will be
undertaken prior to release to ensure compliance criteria are met. During operations, ongoing monitoring
will be carried out to ensure continued compliance including monthly and quarterly testing for biological
factors such as pH, nutrient levels, BOD, chemical oxygen demand, salts, suspended solids, glycol, sulphides,
dissolved solids and metals.
A new TWA is being developed in consultation with TasWater. Details of a trade waste management plan will
be part of that process.
No discharge to the environment is proposed. Waste water is stored in tanks within bunded areas to prevent
any accidental escape to the environment. During times of high pressure on the treatment plant (e.g.
flooding) deliveries to the facility will be limited by road closures. Materials delivered can only be
accommodated in tanks so there is no uncontrolled storage of substances on site. No mitigation or changes
are considered necessary.
5.5 Solid wastes

Solid wastes include plastic bottles and drums, metal drums, oil filters, other wastes that come in deliveries
(rags, bags, etc) and operational waste from the facility (office and staff generated waste). Wastes are stored
in a skip bin until sufficient volume is available for collection and disposal to a waste management facility. In
the 2016 reporting year 21.6 tonnes of solid wastes were disposed of to the waste management facility plus
40.5 tonnes of oil filters. These are drained of oil prior to disposal. Wastes are recycled where possible and
in the same period 282 steel drums were cleaned and crushed on site for recycling. The current waste
management arrangements will continue at the new facility. No mitigation or changes are considered
necessary.

The wastes disposed of to the Launceston landfill includes plastic drums, paper towels, paper air filters, etc
and will be stored under cover. In the last reporting periods these wastes were assigned the following waste
categories by Council:
• C&I – 1
• C&I – 3
• C&I – 4 PLANNING EXHIBITED
DOCUMENTS
• C&I – 5 Ref. No: DA 0656/2017
Date
•
C&D – 5 Planning Administration
• C&D – 4
• C&D – 2
These categories fall within the Commercial and Industrial Waste and the Construction and Demolition Waste
groups.
5.6 Noise emissions

Noise generated by the facility is primarily related to vehicle movements. In an industrial area and on a site
previously used as a bus depot this is not considered to be a potential issue. Twenty truck movements a day
are expected plus the light vehicle movements generated by 10 FTE employees.
Processing involves filtration and gravity separation with no mechanical equipment other than pumps
involved. The nearest sensitive receptor is located approximately 180 m to the south off Weaving Place and
separated from the site by a bus depot and other industrial activities. No mitigation is considered necessary.
5.7 Transport impacts

Wastes will be delivered to the site in the proponent’s own tankers and in other vehicles. The number of
vehicle movements is not expected to increase above those currently experienced at the current facility. The
site is located near the current Murphy St operations and vehicles will use the same transport route for the
majority of their journey. The additional length of travel passes predominantly past undeveloped industrial
land. This route is used by vehicles accessing the STP and buses accessing the depot at the end of Venture
Court. The impacts associated with traffic generated by the use are discussed in the assessment under the
Planning Scheme and, being not significantly greater than those experienced under the previous use, were
determined not to require mitigation.
5.8 Other off-site impacts

The site is located immediately adjacent sports fields used by the local Grammar school. This is used
periodically and will be used at times when the facility is operational. There are no air emissions or noise
likely to impact on students or staff. The grass area surrounding the nearest playing field is located
approximately 30 m from the building which will house the facility and is separated by an internal driveway
and the access and car parking on the sports field. A vegetated buffer extends along the boundary between
the industrial estate and sports fields. No mitigation is considered necessary.
5.9 Hazardous substances

No Dangerous Good licence is required as the liquids processed are not Class 3 Flammable Liquids based on
flash point testing. Class 3 Flammable Liquids are classified as:
Liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or suspension (for example, paints,
varnishes, lacquers, etc., but not including substances otherwise classified on account of their dangerous
characteristics) which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more than 60°C, closed-cup test,
or not more than 65.6°C, open-cup test, normally referred to as the flash point.

Liquids are delivered to site in tankers or in containers in other vehicles. Materials are tested and if acceptable
pumped into tanks for further assessment or processing. Liquids contain grease and oils and petrochemicals
which are recovered as far as possible. Material stored on site includes material that is settling, accumulating
in drums, pending sale, etc. Some oil (as much as 10% solids) is sold over winter so is stockpiled on site until
then. Steel drums and tanks and large plastic containers are used for storage and processing liquids.
Processed materials are packaged in new containers, labelled and stockpiled for sale.
The terms hazardous waste, prescribed waste and controlled waste are used by various Australian
environment protection agencies and to all intents and purposes are interchangeable. Tasmania has adopted
the terminology of the National Environment Protection (Movement of Controlled Waste between States
and Territories) Measure 2004 (NEPM) which uses the term controlled waste.
Controlled waste includes those wastes that exhibit toxicity, chemical or biological reactivity, environmental
persistence, or the ability to bio-accumulate or enter the food chain. These wastes may be produced in a
gaseous, liquid or solid state. Controlled wastes are listed in the regulations and the handling of them requires
the approval of the Director of the EPA. Gourmet Oil (Australia) Pty Ltd hold a current Controlled Waste
Handler Certificate of Registration (CWTEMP139TA) and any controlled waste generated from treatment or
pre-treatment will be managed under this certificate. This certificate registers Gourmet Oil as a controlled
waste agent and transporter and covers the following:
• Acidic solutions or acids in solid form
• Basic Solutions or bases in solid form
• Waste from the production, formulation and use of inks, dyes, pigments, paints, lacquers and varnish
• Waste from the production, formulation and use of resins, latex, plasticisers, glues and adhesives
• Waste oil/water, hydrocarbons/water mixtures or emulsions

5.10 Site contamination (historical)

The previous use of the site as a bus maintenance depot is not one which is listed in Council’s potentially
contaminated land code as an activity likely to result in contamination. Any residues in the site soils resulting
from this use would be consistent with the nature of materials which will be stored and processed on site.
The site will be sealed and all processing conducted under cover in bunded areas. There is limited potential
for pollution of the soil as a result of the proposed activity and limited risk to workers during construction or
operation.
5.11 Climate change

The facility will recycle waste oil and contaminated liquids to produce a range of useable products. The
availability of re-cycled alternatives to new petrochemical products will help lessen demand for new oil. The
processes involved are simple and by their nature use low amounts of energy (vehicle emissions, pumps and
staff/office amenities).

5.12 Sites of high public interest
The site is within an established industrial site recognised as part of the Invermay industrial precinct. There
are no sites of high public interest in the area in terms of natural values and the STP is located immediately
to the north. This proposal represents an opportunity for the productive use of a site in close proximity to
the STP which will not impact on the STP or be impacted by it.
5.13 Monitoring
During commissioning of the facility monitoring of all proposed discharges will be undertaken prior to release
to ensure compliance criteria are met. Ongoing monitoring will be carried out to ensure continued
compliance, as outlined in the self-monitoring program requirements in the draft transitional agreement for
the current Murphy St site of the facility. This includes testing of biological factors such as pH, nutrient levels,
BOD, chemical oxygen demand, salts, suspended solids, dissolved solids, glycol and metals.
5.14 Rehabilitation
The site is already developed and the current proposal is not expected to have any significant impact on the
nature of the site or the surrounding land. In the event that the facility ceases to operate there will be
significant infrastructure on site available for future users. However, there are no environmental features
that will warrant rehabilitation. The permit issued is expected to outline decommissioning requirements and
a Decommissioning and Rehabilitation Plan will be required to be prepared.

The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report. This document is subject to copyright and is protected by law. In displaying this
This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the Environment
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World and National Heritage properties, Wetlands of International
and National Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatened
ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various
resolutions.
Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available data
supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making
a referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.
For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote
sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point
location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.
Threatened, migratory and marine species distributions have been derived through a variety of methods. Where distributions are well known and if
time permits, maps are derived using either thematic spatial data (i.e. vegetation, soils, geology, elevation, aspect, terrain, etc) together with point
locations and described habitat; or environmental modelling (MAXENT or BIOCLIM habitat modelling) using point locations and environmental data
layers.
Where very little information is available for species or large number of maps are required in a short time-frame, maps are derived either from 0.04
or 0.02 decimal degree cells; by an automated process using polygon capture techniques (static two kilometre grid cells, alpha-hull and convex hull);
or captured manually or by using topographic features (national park boundaries, islands, etc). In the early stages of the distribution mapping
process (1999-early 2000s) distributions were defined by degree blocks, 100K or 250K map sheets to rapidly create distribution maps. More reliable
distribution mapping methods are used to update these distributions as time permits.
Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped:
- migratory and
- marine
The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports produced from this database:
- threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants

- some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed
- some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area
- migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers
The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:
- non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites
- seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent
Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.
