Sinclair Knight Merz | Construction Traffic Management Plan 1

1. Introduction

1.1. Background

The Rooty Hill Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) (the Project) located at Kellogg Road, Rooty Hill within the Blacktown Local Government Area (LGA) will allow Holcim to receive construction material by rail from a quarry located outside of the Sydney Basin, blend the materials to meet customer specifications and distribute these by road to the Sydney market. The construction materials received will include single size crushed aggregate, blended crushed aggregates and manufactured sand, typically used for the manufacture of concrete and asphalt as well as a variety of other uses in the civil construction industry. Holcim currently supplies the bulk of these materials through the Penrith Lakes Development Corporation (PLDC), however the resource at this site is nearly depleted and the facility will wind down to closure by mid 2014.

The site is 15 ha and is bound by the Main Western Railway Line to the south, the Nurragingy Reserve to the East, the One Steel Mini Mill and other industrial developments to the west and industrial land to the North. Angus Creek, a tributary of the Eastern Creek, flows through the southern portion of the site (refer Figure 11 for a site locality plan).

Once operational, the Rooty Hill RDC will operate 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week and will be capable of handling up to four (4) million tonnes per annum of product.

The main elements of the Project are listed below:

Regional office building and quarry and concrete testing laboratory.

Rail sidings of 1,100 metres in length with aggregate unloading facility located in the middle of the siding;

Onground Concrete Storage Bins and Load out facility.

Radial stacker as a contingency mechanism to allow trains to be unloaded and returned to the rail system if there is a malfunction with the operation of the main storage system, or if materials at the unloading station are contaminated.

Blending plant/pug mill to mix road base with cement or lime and water at a capacity of 400 tonnes per hour.

Conveyor system, linking the unloading station to the storage and truck loading facilities.

Workshop, stores, site offices, truck wash down, truck refuelling, weighbridges , paving and parking;

A 200,000m 3 per annum capacity concrete batching plant.

A road/conveyor bridge over Angus Creek to link the northern and southern sections of the site.

This Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) is a sub plan to the Construction Environment Management Plan (CEMP) and forms part of the overall Construction Environmental Management System (EMS) for the Project.

To satisfy Ministers Conditions of Approval (MCoA) 5.3(c) and relevant sections, this CTMP will be approved by the Director General of the Department of Planning and Infrastructure (DoPI) prior to the commencement of any works on site.


6/26



1.2. Construct ion Work and Staging

Construction of the Project is expected to take approximately two (2) years, with works anticipated to commence in September 2011.

This Project will be constructed in three (3) stages as noted in Table 11 .

MCoA 1.8 allows for the submission of management plan required by the Project approval on a progressive basis for discrete stages of the Project further to approval by the Director General. Approval for the progressive submission of the management plans for the Project was granted by the Director General in August 2011. The first submission of the CTMP will address Stage 1 works. The CTMP will be reviewed and revised prior to Stage 2 and 3 works commencing and will be provided to the Director General for approval.

3. Existing Situation3.1. Road Intersect ions

Woodstock AvenueWoodstock Avenue is a four lane arterial road with posted speed limit 60km/hr. It runs east west and while for most of its length it is in a residential area. It connects to the northbound off ramp and southbound on ramp to the Westlink M7 Motorway.

Kellogg RoadKellogg Road intersects with Woodstock Avenue and operates under giveway control. The majority of the traffic using Kellogg Road is associated with the industrial developments. The road is approximately 20m wide without linemarking. The road geometry accommodates one traffic lane in each direction and informal kerbside parking.

Glendenning RoadGlendenning Road is a two lane road that runs north south from Woodstock Avenue, past Power Street to Lamb Street, which forms the edge of a residential area. The current Busways Blacktown Depot is located on this road between Power Street and Lamb Street.

Power StreetPower Street is an arterial road that runs east west from Rooty Hill Road North to Knox Road in the east crossing Angus Creek. Power Street is primarily four lanes except for the section between Glendenning Road and the M7 which is two lane. The northbound on ramp to the M7 originates from Power Street. The region from Glendenning Road to the M7 on ramps is industrial. It is likely there will also be some residential traffic as Power Street links to residential communities.

Westlink M7 Motorw ayThe Westlink M7 motorway is a 40km long tolled motorway. It is a dual carriageway linking to the Hills M2 Motorway at Baulkham Hills, the M4 Western Motorway at Eastern Creek and the M5 Southwestern Motorway at Prestons. The M7 half diamond interchange at Woodstock Avenue consists of two signalised intersections for northbound off ramp and southbound on ramp. The interchange at Power Street consists of two signalised intersections for the southbound off ramp and the northbound on ramp.

3.2. Public Transport

The only bus route in the vicinity of the proposed development is the Route 756, which runs along Power Street and occasionally down Glendenning Road. It is a low frequency service with a typical frequency of one bus every 30 minutes and 60 minutes in AM peak and PM peak respectively. Busways is the service provider for the bus route.

Nearby Rooty Hill and Doonside train stations are located on the Western Line with services every 15 minutes during peaks, reducing to a 30 minute service in the off peak.


13/26



3.3. Cycling

There are several cycling routes in the area. The most relevant current paths are a shared path that follows the alignment of the M7, and bike paths within Nurragingy Reserve. While these are both separated from any

traffic, cyclists using these paths may also use some of the local streets, especially since Woodstock Avenue has been identified as a future cycling route. No data is available on the number of cyclists currently using these routes or other local streets.


14/26



4. Construction Traffic Management Plan4.1. Vehicle Trip Generation and Distribut ion

The principal vehicle movements to and from the site during Stage 1 works will be:

Staff cars (light vehicles).

General product deliveries (light vehicles).

Special product deliveries (heavy vehicles).

Concrete delivery trucks (agitators).

The estimated traffic movements associated with the stage 1 works is summarized in Table 4.1 .While these numbers are current best estimates, they can not be confirmed until a Contractor has been engaged.

Vehicle numbers referenced in Table 41 are averages across the Stage 1construction works. There will be days where there are no deliveries and days where the maximum no vehicle movements will be higher than the average and peak numbers listed in the table. However, it should be noted that maximum daily and peak

hourly vehicle movements will be less than a third of the numbers predicted in the 2006 Environmental Assessment Report (EAR).

The origin pattern for staff cars and delivery trucks is difficult to predict and may vary from day to day. Therefore, the number of vehicles using the proposed routes is assumed to be distributed evenly.

4.2. Site Access

All construction traffic will access the site via Kellogg Road, with the bulk of it coming from the M7, and leaving the motorway at either Power Street or Woodstock Avenue. Traffic using the Power Street interchange will travel by Glendenning Road as this is the closest most direct route and does not pass any residential areas.

Access to the site will continue to be available from North Parade and Woodstock Avenue.

Access to the southern section of the Project site for construction of the Angus Creek Bridge will be via a temporary crossing across Angus Creek. The Knox Road/Nurragingy Reserve access point will only be used as a backup when difficulties arise (i.e. during emergency situations) with the temporary crossing. The temporary traffic arrangements associated with emergency access from the Reserve will be managed through the development of a Construction Access Management Program to satisfy MCoA 2.18. Once the Angus Creek bridge is complete, all access to the southern part of the site will be via Kellogg Road.

It should be noted that all heavy vehicle movements and the delivery of dangerous goods (fuel) to the site will utilise the M7 without intruding on residential streets.

See Figure 41for traffic routes.

Figure 41 Rooty Hill Distribution Centre Traffic Routes


17/26



4.3. Construct ion Vehicle Movements

Where heavy vehicles are required to reverse into the site, two way radios will be provided to improve communication between spotters and drivers. Site deliveries will adopt a just intime arrangement

whenever practical so as to minimise queuing within the project site.

4.4. Signage

The contractor will implement a clear and concise signage scheme throughout the site to identify construction vehicles routes , and assist in internal traffic control. Signage will also identify the site office and parking areas (including disabled) for all personnel ,site visitors, ambulance and service vehicles.

4.5. Speed Limit

Within the site, posted speed limits should not exceed 40km/h. However given the large amount of activity

and the amount of heavy machinery present; speeds within construction zones will be reduced to 25km/h. The traffic and speed management arrangements for the site will be conveyed to all drivers via site inductions, and speed and warning signs erected on site.

4.6. Traffic Noise

The Environmental Protection Authority (now referred to as the Office of Environment and Heritage) released the Environmental Criteria for Road Traffic Noise in May 1999. The policy sets out noise criteria application to different road classifications for the purposed of defining traffic noise impacts. The following will be applied to minimise the traffic noise impacts:

Apply and strictly adhere to low speed limits within site. Ensure a clearly defined access road is available and that road surfaces are adequately maintained.

Ensure all contractor vehicles are fitted with adequate noise control equipment in good working order.

Large vehicles should not arrive or leave the site at noise sensitive times; that is before 7:00am and after 6:00pm during the week, before 8:00am and after 1:00pm on Saturdays or at any time on Sundays or public holidays, unless movements are inaudible at surrounding residences.

Ensure no parking or queuing of construction traffic in residential streets.

4.7. Construct ion Employees

The number of construction staff in Stage 1 is expected to peak at 15 to 20 per day. However, it is expected that staff will arrive and leave the site as indicated in Section 4.1 .

4.8. Work Hours

MCoA 2.2 requires that Holcim only undertakes construction activities that are audible at any residential receptor, between the following hours:

7:00am to 6:00pm, Mondays to Fridays, inclusive.

8:00am to 1:00pm on Saturdays.

No time on Sundays or public holidays.


18/26



It is not anticipated that works will be required outside of normal work hours.

4.9. Driver Requirements

As well as obeying all relevant road laws and speed limits drivers will also ensure that they: Do not use engine brakes on local streets.

Drive in a manner that minimises vehicle noise and emissions.

Follow the nominated routes that link the M7 and the site.

Park in nominated areas only.

Drive in a manner and speed appropriate for the changing conditions within the site.

Avoid blocking intersections and local roads.

4.10. Parking

All staff will enter via Kellogg Road and park in the site car park.

4.11. Accident and Monitoring

In the case of an accident, a tow truck contractor will attend to the clearance of the accident scene.

All traffic entering the site would be directed to the appropriate area for example staff and visitors to the car park. Any traffic incidents would be reported to the Contactor who will notify the Holcim Project Manager.

4.12. Traffic Control Plan

A traffic control plan will be developed to ensure there will be no loss of service to the surrounding road network and will cover all major construction issues.

4.13. Construc tion Phase

To ensure traffic management on site is of a high standard, the following measures will be implemented during construction of the Project as stated under SoC:

During the initial phase of construction when access is required to the southern section of the site via North Parade, install signage on the Knox Rd approaches to the intersection warning motorists of the possibility of construction traffic entering the roadway (eg. 'Construction traffic ahead', or 'Construction

trucks entering'). In the unlikely event North Parade is used during Stage 1 works, install signage along North Parade (primarily at the entry points), outlining the presence of heavy vehicles to other motorists in the reserve.

To maintain continued public access and for security/public safety reasons fence North Parade in the initial phase of the construction program.

Liaison with Blacktown City Council, the RTA and adjoining property holders.

Ensure strict compliance by the Contractor with the Traffic Control Plan.

5. Impacts on Traffic and Transport Operations

5.1. Traffic and Transpor t Impacts

5.1.1. Property Access

Construction of the facility itself is not expected to in any property access issues for residents or nearby businesses. However related road upgrades may have an effect during construction.

5.1.2. Bus Operations

Route 756 is the only bus route that overlaps with the proposed construction routes, as the 756 runs down Power Street and occasionally performs a shuttle run up and down Glendenning Street during the AM and PM peaks. The minor increase in traffic related to the construction activity is unlikely to adversely impact on bus

operations.

Sufficient onsite

parking

will

ensure

that

construction

vehicles

do

not

queue

from

the

site

onto

the local road network and, therefore, will not interfere with bus operations which do not include use of Kellogg Road.

5.1.3. Cyclists

The eastern end of Woodstock Avenue is connected to existing bike lanes in Nurragingy Reserve. Although there will be a minor increase in traffic along Woodstock Avenue between the M7 and Kellogg Road this is only a short section of road and conflicting movements are minimised.

5.1.4. Pedestrians

As they key access routes avoid residential areas it is not expected that the minor increase in traffic will cause any delays, safety problems or amenity issues for pedestrians.

5.1.5. Impacts on Emergency Vehicles

Neither the construction of the site or the resultant traffic are expected to negatively affect emergency vehicle movements.

5.2. Impacts on Existing Roads and Access

As part of the project the intersection of Kellogg Road and Woodstock Avenue will need to be signalised, and

be capable of accommodating a BDouble truck. This upgrade is required as a result of the increase in traffic generated by both the construction and operation of the facility.

It is not expected that other intersections in the area will need to be upgraded for construction of the facility, although operational activities may necessitate some intersection of pavement upgrades and this will be monitored.

The impact of construction traffic on the M7 and its interchanges will be negligible.

7. Training

The construction contractor shall implement appropriate training and induction in the requirements of this CTMP. All employees, contractors and utility staff working on site will undergo site induction training which includes Environmental Due Diligence Training. The induction will address:

This CTMP

The existence of traffic restrictions and what this means for the project.

Delivery hours and locations.

Reporting and recording environmental incidents related to traffic.

Traffic control measures and the development and implementation of Traffic Control Plans.

Records will

be

kept

8. Inspections, Monitoring, Reporting and Auditing

8.1. Inspections

The requirement to inspect traffic control is stipulated in Section 6 of the RTAs Traffic Control at Worksites

Manual and Appendix A of Australian Standard 1742.3. There are three main types of inspection:

Pre start and pre closedown inspections of short term traffic control.

Weekly inspections of long term traffic control.

Night inspections of long term traffic control.

The checklist in the RTAs Traffic Control at Worksites Manual is generic and can be used for all three types of

inspection whether short term, long term or night.

The responsibility and frequency of inspections is clearly stipulated in Section 6.1 of the RTAs Traffic Control at

Worksites Manual and is summarised in Table 81.

Table 81 Summary of Traffic Control Inspections

Inspection Responsibil ity Frequency

Pre-start and pre-closedown

Contractor Daily observational monitoring of Before work starts,regularly through the shift and prior to closing down will beundertaken by the Construction Team and any notes will berecorded in the site diary.

Weekly Inspections Contractor On the day the work begins and at least once per weekrecorded on the checklist in the RTAs Traffic Control atWorksites Manual of the Environmental InspectionChecklist

Night inspections Contractor At least once during the first week and at least every 2months recorded on the checklist in the RTAs TrafficControl at Worksites Manual

Any non conformances will be recorded on the Environmental Action Register (refer Appendix O of the CEMP) and will remain open until the issue has been resolved. A STARS Environmental Incident Notification Form may also be completed (refer Appendix M of the CEMP) and issued for more serious deficiencies which pose a

greater level of environmental risk, or for when a reprimand is required for poor performance. 8.2. Monitoring

Traffic monitoring during the construction phase will be undertaken generally in accordance with the Operational Monitoring Plan (except that during construction, monitoring will not include daily heavy vehicle movements/tonnages) which has been prepared to satisfy MCoA 3.1. Monitoring will include daily pre start visual inspections of vehicles to ensure vehicles are maintained in good working order and in accordance with manufacturer specifications, and noise controls (efficient silencers, low noise mufflers etc.) have been installed and maintained (where reasonable and practicable).


25/26



8.3. Reporting

A quarterly report will be produced by the EO to summarise all monitoring results. This report will be reviewed by the ER and the PM. It is recognised that more frequent reporting may be required by the EPL

8.4. Auditing

Audits (both internal and external) will be undertaken to assess the effectiveness of environmental controls and compliance with this plan, MCoA and other relevant guidelines. The following elements may be included in the audit:

Compliance with statutory obligations.

Compliance with Holcim environmental standards, guidelines, specifications and contract conditions.

Compliance with the CEMP and CTMP.

Adequacy of monitoring and operational reports. Completion of environmental actions.

Adequacy of environmental training records.

Adequacy of environmental records, checklists and document management systems.

Preparation of environmental reports.

Recording and completion of corrective actions following environmental incidents and complaints.

Achievement of environmental performance objectives.

Implementation of actions from previous audits.

A schedule for internal audits providing frequencies and responsibilities is provided as part of the CEMP. Any audit of this plan will be as part of an overall construction environmental management systems audit.

9. Review and Improvement of the CTMP

9.1. Environmental Management Review

The effectiveness and proper implementation of the CTMP will be reviewed at a minimum Holcim every twelve

months or sooner as necessary. Review will be undertaken by the management team. The review will

comprise:

Reviewing the results of audits.

Evaluation of the system, which improvements and corrective actions will be sought.

Evaluation of the operation of the CTMP.

9.2. Continual Improvement

Continual improvement of the CTMP will be achieved by the regular evaluation of environmental management performance against environmental policies, objectives and targets for the purpose of identifying

opportunities for improvement. The continual improvement process will:

At least annually:

Review the adequacy of this plan.

Consider any recent developments in practices and technology to ensure Best Management ideals are followed to minimise traffic impacts.

At least quarterly:

Review monitoring results and identify areas of opportunity for improvement of environmental management which leads to improved environmental performance.

At least monthly (or as incidents / non conformances occur):

Determine the root cause or causes of non conformances and deficiencies.

Develop and implement a plan of corrective and preventative action to address non conformances and deficiencies.

Verify the effectiveness of the corrective and preventative actions.

Outcomes of these reviews shall be documented and retained for the duration of the project.
