Dear Andrew You asked for information on how the gas pipeline crosses the desalination pipeline? APA has advised: The proposed pipeline will cross the desalination pipeline and associated infrastructure atkp41.215, approximately 12m north of Ballarto Road.The pipeline will be installed below the desalination pipeline with an HDD that also takes in ToomucCreek, Deep Creek and Ballarto Road. rgs Meg Lee | Partner

Hi Andrew With respect to your query regarding the minimum depth of cover at each of the waterway crossings, we have received theresponse below from APA:
For an open cut crossing the minimum DOC for each watercourse crossing is 2m at the invert. We are opencutting only 1 named watercourse Olivers Creek at ~KP10. Trenchless crossings always have a minimum of 2m at the invert also. In the case of HDD this is 10m+ at theinvert due to the required roping radius of the pipe. We have several drains at sealed road crossings with horizontalbores. These will have 2m doc at the invert.
Please let us know if this information is sufficient. We will otherwise write to you again soon regarding your remainingqueries. Regards Bianca McCormack | Senior Associate

I’m still not fully operational yet.The main things I was looking for were:
- Contour values to go with the contours shown on the Digital Terrain Model of the pipeline route (I can getthese from our own GIS specialists if necessary as they have access to all DELWP’s LiDAR survey).
- A profile of the ground surface elevations along the proposed pipeline route. Also, it would be useful to know the minimum depth of cover at each of the waterway crossings. Best regardsAndrew Dr. Andrew McCowanChairman | Senior Principal Engineer

1. Desalination Project Overview
1.1 Introduction The Victorian Government proposes to construct a seawater desalination plant on the Bass Coast, three kilometres west of Wonthaggi. The plant and ancillary infrastructure would supply water to the Melbourne Water supply system and other regional supply systems. The Victorian Government has announced that the Victorian Desalination Project will be delivered as a Public Private Partnership (PPP) under the Partnerships Victoria Policy, and will be operational by 2011.
The Victorian Desalination Project has four components:
�� Marine Structures consisting of the seawater intake and the saline concentrate outlet structures;
�� Desalination Plant with reverse osmosis desalination technology;
�� Transfer Pipeline (approximately 85 kilometres) connecting the Desalination Plant to the Melbourne water supply network; and
�� Power Supply to the Desalination Plant, Transfer Pipeline and ancillary infrastructure.
The Minister for Planning has decided that an Environment Effects Statement (EES) is required for the Project.
The Project Description and subject matter of the EES are:
�� The Performance Requirements;
�� The Reference Project; and
�� Variations.
Performance Requirements govern the Project for EES purposes, and will be the basis of any Contract with the Project Company. These set the environmental parameters for the Project.
The Reference Project is an integrated response to the Performance Requirements developed by the State. It is used in the EES to demonstrate the Project’s feasibility and ability to achieve acceptable environmental outcomes.
Variations contemplate other design and management solutions which also meet the Performance Requirements and are within the scope of the EES assessment.
This study establishes the existing conditions of the Project area and where specific potential impacts or interactions with the environment are identified provides suggested management recommendations to mitigate the potential impacts that relate to the Reference Project primarily.
131/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
1.2 Limitations This report has been prepared based on the following information and assumptions:
The Transfer Pipeline easement will cross 100 designated waterways. At the time of submission of this report, 70 of these waterway crossings have been assessed during the field assessment. Field investigations and analysis will continue to inform this assessment and will be documented in future revisions of this report.
It is considered unlikely that this additional field investigation will result in significant changes to the current risk ratings as the majority of sites that are attributed medium or greater risks are based upon issues such as proximity to RAMSAR sites, and flooding characteristics. Where risks are medium or greater pipe jacking, additional controls or alternative alignments have been recommended.
�� Assumptions have been made for waterways that have not yet been visited regarding waterway types, conditions and potential issues based upon aerial investigation;
�� This report does not include analysis completed by other disciplines important to this study, such as aquatic ecology, geotechnical investigation, geological investigation and geomorphological investigation and may be incorporated as investigations are completed;
�� Risk assessment was undertaken based upon the assumptions that appropriate controls, i.e. mitigation measures, will be implemented;
�� The outcomes from the risk assessment process are preliminary in nature and may evolve over time as further investigation is undertaken;
�� This report has been prepared solely for the Client (Department of Sustainability and Environment);
�� The report is based on work carried out in accordance with the specific Project scope as agreed between GHD Pty Ltd and the Client;
�� The results of this investigation should not be used for any other purpose than that for which it is specifically intended;
�� The results of this investigation are to be used by the Client only and must not be used by any other party; and
�� This report may contain certain assumptions upon which preliminary findings are based. These may change as more information becomes available and as fieldwork is undertaken.
There are a number of assumptions made in regard to these investigations:
�� Geomorphology interpretations are either based on desktop information and/or a single site visit along the Transfer Pipeline alignment where the alignment was either viewed from roads ways and therefore restricted, or at the Transfer Pipeline crossing point;
�� Geomorphology/hydrology interpretations are based on desktop information and a preliminary assessment of the Transfer Pipeline alignment at the time of the submission of this report; and
231/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
�� An initial discussion has been undertaken with MWC and the WGCMA, but none with other stakeholders.
1.3 Study Objectives The objectives of the existing conditions study were to:
�� Describe existing conditions of waterways, floodplains and significant drainage paths in the vicinity of the preferred Transfer Pipeline alignment and relevant alternatives, in relation to their hydrology, water quality and character;
�� Assess risks of erosion, soil degradation and sedimentation associated with construction of the Transfer Pipeline along the preferred and any proposed control measures;
�� Assess the potential for adverse effects of Transfer Pipeline construction on the hydrology, water quality and character of local waterways, floodplains and drainage paths, including in relation to floodway function;
�� Detail the proposed measures, including the choice of alignment and construction technique as well as the management and timing of works, to minimise adverse effects of Transfer Pipeline construction on the functions and values of waterways, floodplains and drainage paths; and
�� Describe proposed measures to rehabilitate affected sections of waterways, floodplains and drainage paths following Transfer Pipeline construction works.
Additional broader objectives of this study were to:
�� Provide information to support preparation of the Desalination Environmental Effects Statement; and
�� Identify authority requirements and timings with a view to obtaining in principle agreements, permits and approvals that are on the critical path.
This report aims to address the study objectives listed above, however not all were addressed at submission of this report.
1.4 Background and Data Sources This report is separate to the assessments of the powerline transmission corridor of the Desalination Plant and the assessments of the location of the Desalination Plant.
The information contained herein is based upon the Transfer Pipeline alignment Rev E and the “Pipeline Alignment Buffer 400 m” (refer Appendix A and Figure 1-1).

2.2 Catchment Characteristics
2.2.1 Catchment Overview
The Proposed Transfer Pipeline alignment crosses through seven main catchments and will cross 100 waterways, of which 17 are named waterways and eight are named drains (Table 1). Aerial maps have been overlaid with the defined Melbourne Water waterways and Vic Maps waterways to assist with identifying the location of waterways potentially affected by the Proposed Transfer Pipeline alignment (Appendix A). The waterways defined by Melbourne Water (MWC) and West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (WGCMA) form the basis of investigation within this report.

Powlett River Catchment
The Powlett River originates upstream of Outtrim, over 30 km upstream of the river mouth. During the mid-Holocene period the Powlett River received a large volume of in-stream channel sediment from the major tributaries. This channel impedance has allowed for the development of natural levee banks. The Powlett River is weakly incised into the alluvium valley deposits covering the floodplain (Rosengren, 2008).
Past and on-going human activities have substantially altered the fluvial geomorphology of the Powlett River, with most of the catchment cleared for agriculture. The West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority has documented the changes imposed on the channel and floodplain reaches (2007). These include channel straightening, realignment, swamp drainage, flood cuts, levee bank construction, bank stabilisation, and desnagging (Rosengren, 2008).
Bass River Catchment The Bass River Catchment is approximately 266 km2 (Wallbrink et al., 2003). It originates just south of Poowong where landuse is dominated by dairy farming. From this point it flows south-west past Loch and Glen Forbes and into the south-eastern portion of Western Port Bay near San Remo. Bass River catchment has been subject to large-scale vegetation clearance throughout European development. This has resulted in altered hydrological and morphological processes, which are, at least in part, responsible for channel incision. Throughout much of the Bass River main trunk the channel is disconnected from the floodplain due to its depth below current floodplain levels and its protection by terrace features, which are evidence of former channel levels.
Willows are common throughout the catchment and it is thought that these have been planted in response to the wide-spread channel incision that occurred post-European settlement (Earth Tech, 2008). Willows are currently acting as bed control structures (i.e. they stabilise the channel) throughout much of the catchment. Melbourne Water is currently implementing a willow control plan.
South Gippsland Coastal Rivers and Creeks Melbourne Water Corporation has defined surface water catchments for Sustainable Diversion Limits (SDL) around a number of waterways within the South Gippsland Basin. This study has employed these surface water catchments for the Bass, Powlett and other rivers when categorising waterway crossings for the transfer pipeline. Two regions crossed by the transfer pipeline within the South Gippsland Basin, remain undefined by SDL surface water catchments and as such are classified as South Gippsland Coastal Rivers and Creeks.
The larger, and most northerly of these South Gippsland Coastal Rivers and Creeks catchments, is approximately 133 km2 and is bounded by the Bass SDL catchment in the south and east, Western Port in the west and the Lang Lang SDL catchment in the north. This catchment drains to Western Port.
731/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
The smallest and most southerly of these regions covers approximately 39 km2 and stretches between San Remo in the west almost to the Powlett River in the east. To the north a line of hills that represent the southern extent of the Bass SDL catchment bound the area. This catchment drains to Bass Strait.
Lang Lang River Catchment The Lang Lang River originates in an area dominated by dairy farming within the foothills of Poowong East. It flows north to Athlone and then west towards the South Gippsland Highway before entering into the north of Western Port Bay. The channel has been artificially straightened downstream of the South Gippsland Highway.
Bunyip River Catchment The Bunyip River originates in the Bunyip State Forest in the north-eastern portion of the Western Port catchment. The Bunyip flows south to the confluence with Tarago River near Longwarry North. It then flows south-west to Bunyip and through the Koo Wee Rup swamp where it has been channelised by past landuse activities. Constructed levee banks are common throughout this portion of the channel and are important in protecting the surrounding land from flooding.
Toomuc Creek Catchment �� Toomuc Creek
Toomuc Creek originates in the Upper Beaconsfield hills and flows through farms within Toomuc Valley and the township of Pakenham. Water then flows through a constructed channel across the Koo Wee Rup swamplands and then out into Western Port Bay. Much of the indigenous riparian vegetation has been removed and has been replaced in some places with introduced eucalypts (Cardinia Shire Council, 2007). In more recent years there has been a significant increase in urbanisation within the catchment.
�� Cardinia Creek
Cardinia creek is one of the waterways draining the northern part of the Toomuc Creek catchment. This creek comes together as parallel channels alongside Deep and Toomuc Creeks within the Koo –Wee Rup swampland (EPA, 1998) which then discharge to Western Port Bay at Moody’s Inlet.
�� Deep Creek
Deep creek is one of the waterways draining the northern part of the Toomuc Creek catchment. This creek comes together as parallel channels alongside Cardinia and Toomuc Creeks within the Koo-Wee-Rup swampland that then discharges to the bay at Moody’s Inlet (EPA 1998).
831/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Dandenong Catchment �� Dandenong Creek
The Dandenong Catchment lies south-east of Melbourne and has a catchment area of 855 km2. Dandenong Creek originates in the Dandenong Ranges National Park and flows into both Mordialloc Creek and Patterson River prior to discharging to Port Phillip Bay (Melbourne Water, 2006a).
�� Eumemmerring and Ti Tree Creeks
Eumemmerring Creek is one of the major tributaries to Dandenong Creek. Ti Tree Creek, which is a small tributary to Eumemmerring Creek, is the only named waterway to be crossed by the Transfer Pipeline Alignment in the Dandenong Catchment.
Eumemmerring Creek is a rural-urban catchment where rapid development is taking place. The creek has been heavily modified in its middle sections to provide flood protection in once extensive wetland areas, as have its upstream tributaries the Hallam Main Drain and Narre Warren and Troups Creeks (Melbourne Water Website 2008b). Stream works are being undertaken to re-establish a more natural channel shape within the creek alignment from South Gippsland Highway to Abbots Road in Hampton Park.
Receiving Waters The catchments discussed above drain to three primary receiving waters, which include Western Port, Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait.
�� Western Port Catchment
The Western Port catchment drains an area of 3,200 square kilometres and is largely characterised by its productive farmland and extensive coastline (EPA 1998). A total of 38 streams contribute approximately 1 100 ML of water to Western Port every day (EPA 1998). Bunyip River, Lang Lang River and Bass River contribute around 75% of the freshwater discharging to the bay each day (EPA 1998). Since European settlement large scale clearance, drainage of the Koo Wee Rup swamp and the construction of channelised drains has greatly altered the landscape within this area. These changes have lead to increased catchment erosion and increased sediment transport efficiency (EPA 1998). A combination of agricultural land use practices and erosion within the catchment will have altered the water quality within this region.
Many of the Western Port Catchments crossed by the Transfer Pipeline alignment flow into the Western Port Ramsar Wetlands. The Western Port Ramsar site is a large bay connected to Bass Strait by a wide channel between Flinders and Phillip Island and a narrow channel between San Remo and Phillip Island. French Island lies in the middle of Western Port. Western Port is located where the tidal range reaches a maximum on the Victorian Coast (up to 3 metres) and is characterised by a wide variety of marine habitats ranging from deep channels to extensive sea grass flats, mangroves, saltmarsh and wide tidal mudflats. The Western Port Ramsar site has four marine and coastal wetland types recognised under the classification system used by the Ramsar Convention (DSE, 2003). These are:
931/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
�� Marine sub-tidal aquatic beds;
�� Intertidal mud and sand flats;
�� Intertidal marshes (including saltmarsh); and
�� Intertidal forested wetlands (including mangroves).
This wetland is an internationally significant wetland because it has an unusually wide variety of habitat types, including White Mangrove, which fringes 40% of the coastline and seagrass beds, which cover 38% of the site. Salt marshes occupy less than 10% of the coastline yet are an important part of the vegetation in this region. They extend a kilometre or more from the shoreline in many places, are floristically rich and relatively undisturbed. The Western Port Ramsar site provides a range of important functions that contribute to the maintenance of the wetland and surrounding ecosystems (DSE, 2003).
Sediment and nutrient loads entering the system from surrounding catchments can have severe impacts on the health of the RAMSAR wetlands.
Catchments crossed by the Transfer Pipeline that drain to Western Port include Bass Catchment, Lang Lang Catchment, Bunyip Catchment, Toomuc Catchment and the northern most South Gippsland Coastal Rivers and Creeks Catchment.
�� Port Phillip Bay
Port Phillip is a large, shallow marine bay that is of immense social, economic and environmental value to Victoria. The Port Phillip catchment is Australia’s most densely populated and drains an area of approximately 9 790 square kilometres. There are eight major creeks and rivers flowing into to the Bay and about 5 000 underground drains collecting runoff from the greater Melbourne area. These drains discharge either to creeks and rivers or directly through more than 300 outlets into the Bay (CSIRO, 2003).
The Yarra River is the largest single source of inflows to the Bay, due to its large catchment (4 000 square kilometres), of which 55% is subject to urban or agricultural development. The second largest input volume is contributed by the treated effluent from the Western Treatment Plant at Werribee (CSIRO, 1996).
Increased loads of nutrients, notably nitrogen, from the surrounding catchments are recognised as one of the major threats to the health of the Bay (EPA, 2002). Exotic marine pests also present a critical risk to the Bay, potentially affecting the biodiversity of the Bay and the ecological processes that sustain it.
A single waterway crossed by the Transfer Pipeline drains into Port Phillip Bay; namely Ti-Tree Creek. Several unnamed watercourses draining to Ti-Tree Creek are also crossed by the transfer pipeline.

�� Bass Strait
Bass Strait is a shallow continental shelf separating Tasmania from southern Victoria, and connecting the south-east Indian Ocean with the Tasman Sea. The region supports a diversion marine ecosystem with a wide range of habitats. The submerged temperate rocky reef and canyons contain high species biodiversity with a large proportion being endemic to the area (Sandery, 2005). This is largely due to the fact that the area has been isolated in geological time and by climatic barriers, with a history of variable exposure and immersion during sea-level changes in the last few million years (Esso, 2004).
Bass Strait is a high-energy environment exposed to frequent storms and significant wave heights. Waters of Bass Strait are generally well mixed but surface warming sometimes causes weak stratification in calm summer conditions (Esso, 2004).
Marine activities of environmental significant include fisheries, shipping and coastal riverine discharges. Production from the Bass Strait oil and gas fields first commenced in 1969. Operations include exploration and production of crude oil, liquids and gas.
Waterways crossed by the Transfer Pipeline that drain to Bass Strait include the Powlett River, Bridge Creek, Woolshed Creek and the southern South Gippsland Coastal Rivers and Creeks catchment.
2.2.2 Floodplains within the Transfer Pipeline corridor
The Transfer Pipeline alignment is within the low-lying elevation Eastern Plains that consists of flat or gently undulating surfaces. The plains include the broad lowlands of the drained Koo Wee Rup swamp, the Bass River and Powlett floodplains.
Floodplains are the low-lying areas adjacent to rivers, creeks or drainage channels and can be inundated following heavy rainfall in the catchment. Many of the waterways within the Transfer Pipeline corridor are protected by levees within the Koo Wee Rup swamp area which act to reduce the impact of floods to these areas. . The waterways that intercept the Transfer Pipeline that have constructed levees are:
�� Bunyip Main Drain;
�� Yallock Outfall;
�� Yallock Cut and Levee;
�� Deep Creek Catch Drain;
�� Lower Toomuc Creek; and
�� Cardinia Catch Drain.
These are predominantly located within the Koo Wee Rup Flood Protection District (KWRFPD). The KWRFPD lies between the Tyabb and Heath Hill Faults with an area of approximately 400 km2 and includes the Cardinia Creek, Bunyip River and Lang Lang River catchment systems. This is one of Victoria’s richest agricultural areas and was the main swamp around Western Port.
1131/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Historically channels were formed to drain the swamp to allow the land to be used for agricultural activities. Over time many of the channels have incised and are now significant features along the Koo Wee Rup Plains. There are a network of drains throughout the district, that vary in terms of level of flood protection depending on the incision of the channel and presence of levees. Two of the main carrier drains include the Cardinia Outfall Drain and the Bunyip Main Drain. On some of the smaller waterways without formal levees, a relatively minor rainfall event can inundate large areas within the district due to the extremely flat nature of the district.
2.3 Water Quality Analysis This section provides an analysis of the available long-term water quality monitoring results for the relevant waterways affected by the Transfer Pipeline alignment. The water quality data has been assessed to determine the current base line conditions of the waterways and provides a general snapshot across the waterways compared to water quality guidelines.
For comparative purposes the monitoring results for each site are presented in tabular form within Appendix B. Limited spatial and temporal analysis was possible due to the small number of sampling points for each waterway. However, this data set provides an initial indication of the existing condition of the waterways of interest.
It is not relevant to base an assessment of water quality on a single data point as water quality can be highly variable over time due to a range of different environmental events. Instead, it is most relevant to base an assessment of the current understanding of the waterway on a number of sample points. Existing water quality information collected over longer than current project timeframes have been used to provide a snapshot of the current condition of waterways. As a result, this assessment has been restricted to existing data locations that in some cases may be some distance from the Transfer Pipeline alignment. Long-term water quality data is not available for all of the waterways crossed by the Transfer Pipeline, however data does exist for many of the major named waterways.
2.3.1 State Environment Protection Policy Water Quality Guidelines
The State Environment Protection Policy (Waters of Victoria) (SEPP) aims to provide a coordinated approach for the protection and, where necessary, rehabilitation of the health of Victoria’s water environments. The SEPP identifies ‘beneficial uses’ of waterways and establishes environmental quality objectives at levels that will ensure the protection of these uses. SEPPs are legally enforceable statutory instruments and provide the cornerstone for a wide range of environmental protection and management activities in Victoria.
Construction activities associated with waterway crossings, will need to be managed to minimise land disturbance, soil erosion and the discharge of sediments and other pollutants to surface waters and will be required to demonstrate compliance with relevant SEPP requirements.
1231/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
The Proposed Transfer Pipeline Alignment will cross waterways which fall within the following SEPP components:
�� State Environmental Protection Policy (Waters of Victoria) – general document;
�� ‘Insertion Schedule F8 – Waters of Western Port Bay and Catchment‘ – addition to overall SEPP;
�� ‘Insertion Schedule F6 – Waters of Port Phillip Bay’ - addition to overall SEPP; and
�� ‘Policy Area No. W-28A (Waters of the Dandenong Valley)’ – an additional component of Schedule F6.
These documents outline the relevant water quality guidelines specific to each waterway potentially affected by the Transfer Pipeline alignment. The appropriate guidelines for each specific waterway crossed by the Transfer Alignment are outlined within Appendix C. In addition, this appendix outlines the segments of the environment relevant to each individual waterway crossed and the associated beneficial uses.
SEPP guidelines provide a basis with which to compare water quality results to determine whether they meet environment protection guidelines. The SEPP guidelines presented in Table 2 and Table 3 provide the relevant water quality guidelines for the waters of the Western Port Catchment. These are the most relevant guidelines to the alignment waterway crossings.
For turbidity and suspended solids (SS) the median value is used for comparison. For total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorous (TP), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) the maximum measured value is used as the water quality parameter indicator. Further, the E.Colicount per 100 mL geometric mean (geomean) is used for the microbial water quality guideline.

The appropriate guidelines for each specific waterway crossed by the Proposed Transfer Alignment are outlined within Appendix C. In addition, this appendix outlines the segments of the environment relevant to each individual waterway crossed and the associated beneficial uses.
2.3.2 Water Quality Indicators
Water quality indicators provide an assessment of the quality of water at a particular time and at a particular location. The following relevant parameters were compared with SEPP guidelines for the purposes of this assessment:
�� Turbidity;
�� Suspended Solids (SS);
�� Escherichia Coli (E.Coli);
�� Nutrients (Total nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP);
�� Lead (Pb);
�� Zinc (Zn);
�� Electrical Conductivity (EC);
�� pH; and
�� Dissolved oxygen (DO).
Appendix B provides a description of the key water quality indicators which have been used to assess current water quality condition in relation to SEPP water quality guidelines.
2.3.3 Data Availability
Melbourne Water and the Victorian Water Resources Data Warehouse (VWR) hold water quality data for many of the relevant catchments crossed by the Proposed Transfer Pipeline Alignment. This data has provided the basis for the existing conditions assessment, however it is not intended that this assessment be used to define baseline levels. Further investigation will be required prior to construction to establish relevant baseline levels in accordance with SEPP and appropriate performance requirements.

– Toomuc Creek at Princes Highway, Pakenham;
– Toomuc Creek at Ballarto Road, Rythdale; and
– Eumemmerring Creek at Worsley Road, Dandenong.
�� Victorian Water Resources Data Warehouse
The Victorian Water Resources Data Warehouse (VWR) is a Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) website (DSE, 2008a) that provides access to information on Victoria’s water resources. The site provides both raw and summary data on both water quality and quantity. For the purpose of this investigation if has been used to access water quality summaries for waterways of interest not covered by the Melbourne Water Long Term Monitoring data set.
Specifically, summaries of the Bass and Powlett River water quality sampling for 2007 have been used. These sites are as follows:
– Bass River at Glen Forbes South;
– Powlett River, downstream Foster Creek Junction; and

2.3.4 Existing Water Quality
This section provides a summary of the water quality within each of the major waterways where data is available. The available data and results summaries are provided in Appendix B.
�� Bunyip River
The long-term water quality monitoring results recorded TN and Zn concentrations in excess of SEPP guidelines. The most upstream sites monitored, Labertouche and Longwarry North, exceeded SEPP guidelines for Suspended Solids. This aligns with the high levels of erosion described in the Western Port Sediment study. The most downstream site monitored, at Koo-Wee-Rup Road, exceeds SEPP guidelines for Turbidity and TP. Additionally, the upstream Longwarry North and Iona sites exceed SEPP guidelines for E. coli indicating faecal contamination has occurred, most likely originating from the agricultural landuses present in the catchment.
The Western Port Sediment study indicated that the Bunyip River catchment contributes significant amounts of sediment to Western Port (CSIRO, 2003). The dominant sources of sediment is subsoil from channel and gully erosion (CSIRO, 2003) which is often unstable due to vegetation clearance.
�� Lang Lang River
The Melbourne Water long-term water quality monitoring results recorded TN, TP, E.coli and Zn concentrations in excess of SEPP guidelines. The elevated nutrient results are typical of agricultural catchments such as this.
The most downstream site, at South Gippsland Highway site also exceeds SEPP guidelines for turbidity and Pb. The Pb concentrations at this site are elevated significantly above that reported in other waterways investigated. This may reflect the proximity of the monitoring site to the major transport route. The Western Port Sediment study indicated that the Lang Lang River catchment contributes significant amounts of sediment to Western Port (CSIRO Land and Water, 2003). The dominant source of sediment is subsoil from channel and gully erosion and eroded clay banks to the north west of the Lang Lang Jetty (CSIRO Land and Water, 2003).
�� Toomuc Creek
The Melbourne Water long-term monitoring results recorded Turbidity, TN, TP and Zn concentrations in exceedance of SEPP guidelines. These exceedances are likely to be the result of past and current agricultural activities and more recent urbanisation. Clearing within the catchment is likely to have resulted in increased erosion and therefore sediment contributions to waterways which has significantly reduced the water quality within the catchment (Cardinia Shire Council, 2007).
1731/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
�� Eumemmerring Creek
The Melbourne Water long-term water quality monitoring results highlight an exceedance of all parameters, with the only exception being Pb. These results can be attributed to the high level of urbanisation within the catchment. The Transfer Pipeline does not cross the Euememmerring Creek, however it does cross Ti-Tree creek which is within the Euememmerring catchment. Recent urbanisation within the vicinity of the crossing location may have impacts upon water quality within Ti Tree and therefore Euememmerring Creek.
�� Deep Creek
The Melbourne Water long-term water quality monitoring results recorded S S, Turbidity TN, TP, E.coli and Zinc concentrations in excess of SEPP guidelines. The turbidity and suspended solids levels at this site are elevated significantly above that reported in other waterways. This may indicate high levels of disturbance and erosion in the Deep Creek catchment.
�� Cardinia Creek
The Melbourne Water long-term water quality monitoring results recorded TN, TP and Zn concentrations in excess of SEPP guidelines. The upstream site, at Upper Beaconsfield also exceeded SEPP guidelines for suspended solids. The downstream site, at Ballarato Road exceeded SEPP guidelines for turbidity. Both elevated turbidity and SS may indicate high levels of disturbance and erosion in the catchment.
Bass River Catchment The VWR long term water quality monitoring results for the Bass River recorded TN, TP, Pb and Zn concentrations in excess of SEPP guidelines. The Znconcentrations at the Bass River site are elevated significantly above that reported in other waterways investigated.
Powlett River Catchment The VWR water quality monitoring results for the Powlett River recorded TN and TP concentrations in excess of SEPP guidelines. The downstream Wonthaggi site also reported the maximum turbidity and SS measurements of all sites monitored. Elevated turbidity and SS may indicate high levels of disturbance and erosion in the catchment.
2.4 River Health Regional River Health Strategies (RRHS) have been developed in partnership with relevant stakeholders in order to protect or improve the health of rivers, streams and floodplains. These documents outline an integrated approach for improving the health of rivers and creeks and document the current health of the major waterways.
1831/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
The Proposed Transfer Pipeline alignment crosses through West Gippsland and Port Phillip and Westernport and Catchment Management Authority areas. Each catchment management authority has its own RRHS. Further information can be found within the Port Phillip and Westernport RRHS (Melbourne Water, 2007a) and the West Gippsland RRHS (West Gippsland CMA, 2007b). The River Health Strategies each use an assessment criteria to determine the condition of the major waterways in order to define appropriate management goals. The condition of the major waterways crossed by the Proposed Transfer Pipeline is summarised in the sections below and in Figure 2-3.
2.4.1 West Gippsland RRHS assessment of waterway condition
The ISC methodology, developed by the Department of Sustainability and Environment, is used to provide an integrated assessment of river health. This measure uses five sub-indices to assess condition. These include:
�� Hydrology;
�� Physical form;
�� Streamside zone;
�� Water quality; and
�� Aquatic life.
Each of these components is given a score between 0 and 10 based on the assessment of a number of indicators. These scores are then combined to give a qualitative condition rating.
Powlett River Catchment The Proposed Transfer Pipeline will cross through the lower reaches of the Powlett River, however there is no current assessment available of river health within the locality of the crossing point. There are four ISC sites in the upper reaches of the Powlett Catchment. The ISC assessment indicated that the Powlett River is between very poor to moderate condition. Reach 5 indicated that the river health is in moderate condition, while the Reach 6 assessment indicated that river health is in very poor condition (www.vicwaterdata.net Table 4). Sub-index data was not available for the other two reaches for the purposes of this assessment, however the summary results indicate that these sites are both in poor condition.

1931/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
This ISC assessment indicates that there is one priority site (that which scored very poor) requiring management action.
The significant risks within this catchment include bank erosion, barriers to fish migration, channel modification, poor water quality, exotic flora, loss of riparian vegetation, loss of instream habitat, introduced fauna and stock access to the riparian zone.
As a result of the ISC and subsequent prioritisation process a number of key management areas were identified:
�� Revegetation;
�� Fencing;
�� Exotic vegetation removal; and
�� Bed and bank stabilisation.
2.4.2 Port Phillip and Westernport RRHS assessment of waterway condition
Melbourne Water, acting as caretaker for the Port Phillip and Westernport area, use their Index of River Condition (IRC) methodology to provide an overall measure of the condition of waterways. This method is based upon the Index of Stream Condition (ISC) developed by the Department of Sustainability and Environment for rural rivers and creeks. The IRC assessment considers a combination of five sub-indices to assess the condition of each waterway. These sub-indices include:
1. Hydrology or flows – how close to natural they are in terms of quantities and timing;
2. Physical form – the condition of the waterway channel (bed and banks) and associated aquatic habitats;
3. Streamside zone – the type and extent of vegetation along the waterway;
4. Water quality – the physical and chemical characteristics of the water; and
5. Aquatic life – the makeup of the aquatic macroinvertebrate community.

Overall, the IRC assessment indicates that the Bass River is in moderate condition, however it does have pockets of good condition (Melbourne Water, 2007a). In addition, there are sites of geological, Aboriginal and European heritage value within the catchment and the river is valued for fishing. The lower reaches of the Bass River include a valued saltmarsh community that is important for bird and fish populations.
Key risks to the waterway includes stock access and weed infestations and sediment contributions from Bass River pose a risk to the health of the highly valued Western Port.
As a result of the assessment completed as a part of the RRHS, a range of river health objectives have been set. Future works within the Bass River catchment will include:
�� Revegetation;
�� Weed control;
�� Fencing;
�� Gully and catchment erosion control;
�� Development of a waterway plan; and
�� Establishment of a water quality, fish and aquatic macroinvertebrate monitoring programme.
Lang Lang River Catchment A summary of the IRC assessment is provided in Table 6 below (Melbourne Water, 2006a).

Overall, the IRC assessment indicates that the environmental values are moderate to low. However, the middle reaches of the Lang Lang River and some sections of smaller rivers such as Adams and Red Bluff Creeks are in better condition (Melbourne Water, 2007).
2131/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Several listed fauna species have been recorded within the catchment, including native fish, platypus, frogs, swamp antechinus and the Giant Gippsland Earthworm (Melbourne Water, 2007a). In addition native orchids and the Strzelecki Gum are found within the catchment. There are European heritage and fishing sites considered to be of social value within the catchment.
The major risks to the catchment include a lack of streamside vegetation, stock access, changes to natural stream flows, poor water quality and barriers to fish (Melbourne Water, 2007a).
As a result of the assessment completed as a part of the RRHS, a range of river health objectives have been set. Future works within the Lang Lang River catchment will include:
�� Stabilisation of waterways and gullies to reduce sediment loads to Western Port;
�� Construction of fishways;
�� Weed control;
�� Revegetation; and
�� Control of stock access to waterways.
Bunyip River Catchment The IRC assessment for the Bunyip Catchment is separated into two separate sections which includes the Lower Bunyip River (Table 7) and the Middle/Upper Bunyip (Table 8).

The Lower Bunyip includes Yallock Creek, Monomeith Drain and the Bunyip River and its tributaries from the Princes Highway to Western Port near Koo Wee Rup. The proposed Transfer Pipeline Alignment crosses through the Lower Bunyip Catchment. Overall, the IRC assessment indicates that the environmental values for the Lower Bunyip River are moderate to poor. Despite this, significant fauna species such as the Australian Grayling, azure kingfisher, Giant Gippsland Earthworm and Growling Grass Frog are present (Melbourne Water, 2007a).
The Lower Bunyip and Yallock river systems have significant agricultural, European heritage, Aboriginal heritage and fishing values.
The key risks to the catchment and downstream receiving waters includes poor water quality, a lack of streamside vegetation, stock access, changes to natural stream flows and barriers to migration of fish and other aquatic life.
As a result of the assessment completed as a part of the RRHS, a range of river health objectives have been set. Future works within the Lower Bunyip catchment will include:
�� Water Quality improvement;
�� Stream flow management;
�� Channel improvement;
�� Revegetation; and
�� Stock access control.
Cardinia, Toomuc, Deep, Gum Scrub and Ararat Creeks
A summary of the IRC assessment is provided in Table 9 below (Melbourne Water, 2006a).

The Transfer Pipeline Alignment crosses through Cardinia, Toomuc, Deep and Gum Scrub Creeks. Overall, the IRC assessment indicates that the environmental values for these waterways are poor. Despite this, native fish, frogs and swamp skink do exist in the catchment. In addition platypus have successfully re-established in upper Cardinia after translocation programmes (Melbourne Water, 2007a). Cardinia has important European heritage and fishing values.
The most significant risks to river health are urban development, loss of streamside vegetation, stock access, poor water quality, and altered stream flow regimes (Melbourne Water, 2007a).
As a result of the assessment completed as a part of the RRHS, a significant range of river health objectives have been set. Future works within this catchment will include:
�� Protection of heritage and recreation values;
�� Stormwater management plans;
�� Water quality improvements;
�� Management of stream flow diversions;
�� Weed management;
�� Stock control;
�� Revegetation; and
�� Stabilisation works
Eumemmerring Creek A summary of the IRC assessment is provided in Table 10 below (Melbourne Water, 2006a).

2.4.3 Transfer Pipeline Alignment Flora and Fauna Assessment
Transfer pipeline construction can potentially impact upon both terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna. Construction activities may increase sediment transport within waterways if appropriate mitigation measures are not implemented, which could lead to sedimentation instream. This can affect the distribution of species by altering important instream habitats. Construction through waterways may also result in a loss of instream vegetation and large wood which provide important habitat for instream organisms. Riparian vegetation may need to be cleared for construction resulting in a loss of shade, habitat, organic matter inputs to waterways and enhanced sediment transport. Construction activities for the Transfer Pipeline may result in a negative consequence for flora and fauna (Section 4.2.3).
Biosis Research Pty Ltd has undertaken an ecological values study as part of their Flora and Fauna Assessment for the Desalination Project (Biosis, 2008). This assessment has incorporated terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna investigations. The aquatic ecology investigations are particularly relevant to this report. Biosis have undertaken fish surveys upstream and downstream of the waterway crossing locations. Findings from Biosis’ studies have been summarised within the waterway crossing proformas (Appendix D).
2.5 Waterway Characteristics
2.5.1 Assessment Method
The assessment of the existing waterway condition and type has been based on desktop assessment and field investigation.
Topographic maps overlaid with Melbourne Water and Vic Maps waterways layers were reviewed to identify waterways that would be crossed by the Transfer Pipeline. During this process 100 waterways were identified as being directly crossed by the Transfer Pipeline alignment.
Aerial investigation was undertaken at all sites and field based investigation was undertaken at 70 sites. Waterway assessment proformas (Appendix D) have been established for this report to concisely document the findings of the assessment at each crossing location. The variables considered within the assessment include:
�� Channel planform (the shape and layout of the channel as seen from above). Channels along the alignment are generally:
– Meandering (a sinuous bend in a waterway which forms a U-shape with the potential for oxbows). Waterways displaying this planform often have oxbows (U-shaped forms) on floodplains which can contain water.
– Sinuous (A channel that is not straight, however does not bend in a U-shape);
– Straight (a generally straight river due to natural stream processes rather than physical human modification); and
– Channelised (artificially straightened).
2731/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
�� Instream geomorphic features (bank height, top of bank width, channel width, channel shape);
�� Floodplain geomorphic features (floodplain width, floodplain position, typical slope, geomorphic features);
�� Geology;
�� Flow conditions (frequency of flow). Channels along the alignment are generally:
– Ephemeral - Waterways with flow for more than one month of the year, but with a period of no flow during the year;
– Intermittent - Waterways flowing for less than one month of the year;
– Perennial - Waterways with flow all year;
�� Land management (fencing, landuse); and
�� Riparian and instream vegetation.
Soil degradation is considered for the purposes of this project to include bed, bank and floodplain erosion potential. Further geomorphic and geological based assessment of soil degradation, including acid sulphate soils, compaction, sedimentation, slope failure, subsidence and soil erodability is considered within Rosengren (2008).
2.5.2 Waterways classification along the alignment
Based upon aerial and site investigation eight broad waterway types have been identified along the Transfer Pipeline alignment
These waterway types include:
Unconfined Sinuous Waterway Channel planform is generally sinuous to meandering and is controlled by floodplain cohesiveness. These systems are generally located within flatter topography areas where they are likely to be competence limited.
Unconfined Channelised Waterway These waterways have been channelised in order to increase drainage efficiency. These systems sometimes have levee banks which often consist of fill material deposited along the banks during excavation. In places, these levees act as flood control structures.
Partially Confined Sinuous Channel Partially confined sinuous channels are characterised by sinuous to meandering planforms with alternating floodplain pockets. Floodplain geomorphic units often include alluvial fans or paleochannels.
2831/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Partially Confined Channelised Waterway These systems occur on waterways which would have once presented as partially confined sinuous channels. These systems show evidence of historic channel alignments and oxbows indicating meander bend cutoffs. The current channel planform is a result of channel straightening during landuse change.
Confined Headwater Channel Confined headwater systems are pinned against the valley margin within steep headwater valley settings. The channel is generally well defined, however in some cases the channel may be discontinuous as a result of direct valley inputs. Channel planform is straight to slightly sinuous with no floodplain pockets and is controlled by the valley margins. Streampower is relatively high and these waterways are likely to act as sediment source zones.
Valley Fill Valley fill systems are laterally unconfined systems with no defined bed and banks. These waterway types generally occur in zones with flat topography where channels are transport limited. Over time valleys will have filled with fine sediment to create relatively flat and featureless plains on the valley floor. Some isolated definition may occur in places, however channels are generally discontinuous or without defined bed and banks.
Some sections of the easement have more defined bed and bank valley fill systems, these are likely to be the result of channel straightening, excavation and draining.
Farm/Road Drain – Channelised These systems generally occur on waterways which would have once presented as Valley Fill systems. Channelisation and straightening as a result of agricultural land use and road drainage schemes will have altered the path of these waterways greatly affecting drainage patterns.
Farm Dam The Transfer Pipeline crosses some constructed farm dams. Generally, dams that will be directly affected by the Transfer Pipeline alignment are off line, however some downstream dams may be indirectly impacted by construction.
The distribution of these waterway types along the Proposed Transfer Pipeline are summarised in Table 11.

2.5.3 Transfer Pipeline Alignment Geology and Geomorphology
The geology and geomorphic setting acts as a key factor determining waterway character.
Geology plays a role in creating waterway characteristics. The cohesiveness of sediments assist in creating waterway shape. Cohesive sediments within bed or banks of waterways hinder their ability to move either downwards (through channel incision) or sideways (through lateral migration). Uncohesive sediments within bed and banks will allow for much freer movement of the waterway. As a result, the sediments within and surrounding the channel play a part in defining channel stability. An understanding of the surface and superficial sediments can provide some understanding of the likelihood of erosion and sediment transport within the waterway.
Construction activity within uncohesive and therefore unstable sediments is more likely to contribute to bank instability and sediment transport in the waterway than cohesive sediments. In addition, construction within waterways with unstable soils may lead to failure of the bed or banks. Further geological and geotechnical investigation is required to ascertain soil stability and construction risk.
The Proposed Transfer Pipeline alignment encompasses a wide range of different geological units and landforms. Rosengren (2008) provides further information on the geology along the grid connection alignment.
A separate geomorphology report (Rosengren, 2008) has been written for the purposes of the EES process. Rosengren (2008) notes that the geomorphology of the Transfer Pipeline corridor is described as a series of nine Terrain Units with distinctive landforms, surficial geology and soils (Figure 2-4, Table 12). Detailed descriptions of these terrain units are outlined within Rosengren (2008).

2.6 Hydrologic Assessment
2.6.1 Streamflow Hydrology
Available streamflow data from Thiess Pty Ltd and Melbourne Water Corporation has been reviewed to assess the magnitude and seasonality of runoff entering waterways within the Transfer Pipeline. In total, an assessment was undertaken on nine gauged sites where streamflow information was readily available. These are: 227231, 228217, 228222, 227236A, 227209B, 228213, 228228, 228364 and 227219A (Figure2-4). A summary of these analyses is provided in Table 2.

2.6.2 Flood Frequency Analysis
Available streamflow data from Thiess Pty Ltd and Melbourne Water Corporation has been reviewed to assess the magnitude of flooding within the Transfer Pipeline. A flood frequency analysis was undertaken of the recorded peak flows at the gauging stations in order to validate the design parameters.
�� 227231 (Bass River at Glen Forbes South);
�� 228217 (Toomuc Creek at Pakenham);
�� 228213 (Bunyip River at Iona);
�� 228209B (Lang Lang River at Hamiltons Bridge); and
�� 227219 (Bass River at Loch).
The period of record of peak flows at the gauge stations are outlined in Table 13above.
A historical flood frequency curve (Log Pearson III) was then produced, using the methodology outlined in Australian Rainfall and Runoff, for maximum instantaneous flows at each gauging station for the period of data available. Table 14 below summarises the results of the historical flood frequency analysis. Each gauging station was transposed using the relationship of flows (Q) and areas (A) (QTotal = QGauging x A0.7
Gauging/A0.7Total) to calculate the relative historical flood frequency
analysis at each Transfer Pipeline waterway crossing location.

2.6.3 Sustainable Diversion Limits
SDLs have been developed across Victoria and represent the upper limit on winterfill diversions, beyond which there is an unacceptable risk that additional extractions may degrade the environment. The SDLs for the catchments where the Transfer Pipeline intersects are summarised below in Table 15.
Table 15 Summary of Sustainable Diversion Limits
Catchment SDL (ML) Total Use (ML) Bulk Entitlement (ML)
Powlett River 7 246 3 960 854
Bass River 4 919 2 108 336
South Gippsland Coastal Rivers and Creeks
1 057 497 0
Lang Lang River 7 333 3 260 0
Bunyip River 11 002 20 589 16 963
Toomuc Creek 2 030 2 995
The SDL estimates show that the Powlett River, Bass River, South Gippsland Coastal Rivers and Creeks and Lang Lang River catchments are currently under allocated, whilst total use in Bunyip River and Toomuc Creek catchments currently exceed the SDL.
The Bulk Entitlement (BE) from each catchment is the entitlement applied to the rural water authorities on regulated streams, and for urban water authorities on regulated and unregulated streams. The BE restricts the amount of water allowed to be harvested from the catchment under the Water Act 1989.

3. Agency Requirements
3.1 Introduction This section outlines the relevant catchment management authorities responsible for the waterways along the Proposed Transfer Pipeline Alignment and the relevant CMA requirements.
3.2 Catchment Management Authorities There are two Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) whose jurisdiction is within the Transfer Pipeline alignment.
WGCMA WGCMA is responsible for waterway and catchment management activities across the south to south east Victoria, including the South Gippsland catchment basin.
MWCMWC has a caretaker role in managing the waterways within the Westernport and Port Phillip catchment
3.3 Catchment Management Authority Requirements
3.3.1 Works on Waterway Permit Requirements
Under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994 the Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) were formed as the caretakers of river health for their designated catchments and waterways and have responsibilities. These responsibilities include licensing and regulation of works on their designated waterways, and floodplains and drainage management within their catchments and waterways.
The Works on Waterways permit system is to ensure that works are performed in an environmentally conscientious way and to ensure protection of the waterways. The Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) issue permits for a person, company or Authority to carry out works on ‘designated’ waterways under By-law No. 1 of the Water Act 1989. “Designated waterway” is defined as any waterway or any part of any waterway which the CMA has declared to be a designated waterway under section 188 of the Act. The CMA are responsible for managing these waterways which have been identified on the VicMap datasets and the Melbourne Water ‘Natural Waterway Centreline’ dataset. A ‘designated’ waterway within the Water Act 1989 has been defined as:
�� A river, creek, stream or watercourse; or
�� A natural channel in which water regularly flows, whether or not the flow is continuous; or
�� A channel formed wholly or partly by the alteration or relocation of a waterway, as described above, or;
4431/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
�� A lake, lagoon, swamp or marsh.
A more detailed definition of ‘designated’ waterways is available in the Water Act 1989.
The ‘works on waterways’ permit system has been created to protect the waterways and to safeguard that works are performed according to the guidelines. The Transfer Pipeline will require obtaining a works on waterways permit for all locations where the Transfer Pipeline crosses a waterway. Permits will need to be sought from both West Gippsland CMA and Melbourne Water.
3.3.2 Floodplain Management Requirements
Some of the waterways discussed are within the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO, DSE, 2008a) as identified in the Bass Coast, Cardinia and Casey Planning Schemes. The LSIO identifies land in a flood storage or flood fringe area, affected by the 1 in 100 year flood or any other area determined by the floodplain management authority. The overlay helps to facilitate appropriate development outcomes that maintain the free passage and temporary storage of floodwaters, minimise flood damage, compatability with the flood hazard and local drainage conditions and will not cause any significant rise in flood level or flow velocity.
A permit is generally required to construct a building or to construct or carry out works within the (LSIO DSE, 2008a). Amongst several standard exceptions to this requirement are “The laying of underground sewerage, water and gas mains, oil pipelines, underground telephone lines and underground power lines provided they do not alter the topography of the land.” Hence in general while the LSIO is informative with respect to flooding along the Transfer Pipeline it does not impose additional flood plain management requirements. If however the Booster Pump Station remains within the LSIO it will be subject to permit requirements to the satisfaction of the relevant floodplain management authority.
3.3.3 Catchment Management Authority Consultation
WGCMA Introductory meetings have been held with WGCMA to discuss their requirements with regards to pipeline construction. WGCMA use the Vic Maps Hydro layer 1:25k to define their designated waterways. From this there will be seven identified waterways crossed within the WGCMA region. The primary concerns of the WGCMA are associated with the construction process. It was noted that perception of bed instabilities or weaknesses which could lead to difficulties for either construction methods including pipe jacking. During the meeting WGCMA also outlined the importance of limiting floodplain topographical alterations. In terms of pipe crossings. WGCMA do not have any set requirements for setting the pipe below bed invert levels, and stated that crossings would need to be assessed on a site-by-site basis.
4531/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
The WGCMA provided a number of reference documents:
�� Guidelines for Assessment of Applications for Permits and Licences for Works on Waterways, (SKM 2001); and
�� Various standard works procedures for the WGCMA.
Submissions will have to be made to WGCMA for works on waterways prior to construction.
An additional meeting was held with WGCMA representatives on site on 25 July 2008 to discuss methodology applied to determining a recommendation on construction methodology. The WGCMA outlined they would be keen to work closely with the Project Company to agree on construction methodology and appropriate mitigation controls and rehabilitation.
MWCMWC (letter dated 13 February 2008) have previously commented on preferred construction methods for alignment C and have given an indication of the factors that should be considered when selecting an appropriate construction technique. In this letter MWC provided a summary works procedure document for open trenching associated with service crossings.
During a meeting held on 14 March 2008, MWC representatives highlighted the importance of protecting flood bank levees and setting the pipe below the hard invert level. They recommended that a description of each waterway be provided to them to allow them to appropriately assess waterway crossing requirements. This has been undertaken within the scope of this report and the output is located within Appendix D. MWC indicated that approval will need to be sought from them for all transfer pipeline crossings of Melbourne Water assets (including underground assets, waterways, constructed channels, retarding basins and levee banks). Approval from MWC will be required at the design stage and a minimum of two months advanced notification will be required prior to construction commencing to enable evaluation and processing of the application ahead of the construction period.
A recent letter from MWC (dated 5 May 2008) states that for all Melbourne Water assets (including waterways), pipe jacking is the preferred method for crossing all waterway assets, except for minor creek tributaries and depressions where, subject to the findings of the EES, an open-cut construction method could be found to be acceptable.
4631/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
An additional meeting was held with a Melbourne Water representative on 17 July 2008 with the purpose of discussing appropriate construction methodologies across waterways with relation to alignment D. It was noted that a site visit would need to be undertaken at each waterway crossing prior to construction. It was also outlined that generally, there was enough information available based upon aerial photo analysis and site investigation to make an assessment of the appropriate crossing method and that Melbourne Water largely agreed with the recommended construction methods outlined within a previous version of this document. Melbourne Water clearly outlined that they were implementing a conservative approach to maintain protection of waterways and that they would not be significantly influenced by options that consider incorporating opportunistic improvements in waterway values into their decisions regarding construction methodologies.
Water Authorities Considerations Westernport Water sources water supplies from Tennent creek (Tributary of Bass River), Lance Creek (Tributary of Powlett River), and Bass River (downstream of Candowie Reservoir) to supply towns such as Cowes, San Reno and Grantville. Water supplies from Tennent Creek and Lance Creek will not be impacted by the construction of the Transfer Pipeline. The diversions from the Bass River are used for emergency supply purposes, however this is located downstream of the Transfer Pipeline. Future investigations will need to consider the potential impacts on the streamflow and quality, to avoid impacting this water source (GHD 2007a).
South Gippsland Water sources water from the Little Bass storage system and the Lance Creek (Tributary of Powlett River) to supply towns such as Loch, Nyora, Poowong, Wonthaggi, Inverloch and Cape Paterson. These water sources and supply systems will not be impacted by the construction of the Transfer Pipeline.
Melbourne Water is responsible for bulk water supplies across the Melbourne Metropolitan area. The Transfer Pipeline will not impact on any of Melbourne Water’s supply sources. However, the Transfer Pipeline intersects the Tarago Western Pipeline which is a major water supply main which supplies the Mornington Peninsula. Requirements for crossing this Transfer Pipeline will need to be assessed in subsequent investigations.
Southern Rural Water (SRW) is responsible for managing water supplies for irrigation purposes and for rural water supply across southern Victoria. SRW supply the irrigators of southern Victoria, and water in bulk to non-metropolitan urban water authorities and to Latrobe Valley electricity generators (SRW, 2007).
There are numerous private water users who divert water from streams located downstream of the Transfer Pipeline. This water is typically used for domestic, stock or irrigation purposes. Changes to streamflow regimes and water quality present the greatest risk to these water users. Further investigations are required to locate all water users downstream of the Transfer Pipeline, and to assess the potential impacts on these users during construction.
4731/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Downstream users of the construction site may be potentially impacted during construction by the changes to water quality that may be long-term. Final alignment decisions must be made prior to accurate information obtained regarding downstream users. Therefore, further information will be required on potential disruption of water supply to these users during the pre-construction phase to completely assess this potential impact (source GHD 2007a).
The likely private irrigators within the Transfer Pipeline have not yet been identified, however there are potential issues relating to private irrigators, including water quality and flow.
The likely private irrigators within the Transfer Pipeline have not yet been identified. However, there may be users downstream of the Transfer Pipeline south of Cardinia, which will require further investigation and information in future studies. These private diverters will be either customers of Melbourne Water or Southern Rural Water (GHD 2007a).

4. Environmental Risk Assessment
4.1 Introduction The primary purpose of this section is to fulfil the requirements outlined within the following objective:
�� Assess risks of erosion, soil degradation and sedimentation associated with construction of the alignment and any proposed control measures.
Project Step: Relevant Report Section(s):
Comments:
Section 4.2: Project Risk
This section outlines the overall project risk assessment and details the subsequent risk register for the pipeline component of the project.
Risk Assessment
Section 4.3: Detailed waterway risk assessment
This section outlines the specific risks associated with construction for each waterway crossing for the pipeline component of the project.
4.2 Desalination Project Risk A detailed Environmental Risk and Impact Assessment (risk assessment) has been conducted as part of the EES for the Victorian Desalination Project. The risk assessment process provided a staged, risk based approach for evaluating the potential impacts that the Project could have on a wide range of environmental, social and economic assets and beneficial uses. This study has contributed to this risk assessment process and the results of the risk assessment have been used to form the conclusions of this study.
The risk assessment methodology and implementation has been devised by Maunsell, who are engaged as a technical specialist to GHD on behalf of the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE). The development of the risk assessment process, its implementation and its outcomes are documented in the Victorian Desalination Project - Environmental Risk Assessment.
4.2.1 Overview of the Risk Assessment
In summary:
�� The risk assessment was conducted to identify the potential environmental, social and economic impacts on the wider environment and community of implementing the Desalination Project. It should be noted that the risk assessment did not consider the risks posed to DSE or the delivery of the Project. The assessment therefore did not assess reputation, financial delays or organisational effectiveness;
�� The risk assessment was undertaken to heighten confidence and provide rigour for decision making and planning;
4931/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
�� The risk assessment was based on the Project Description and the outputs of the risk assessment represent the risk and impacts of implementing the Desalination Project as described in the Project Description;
�� The risk assessment was conducted in close consultation with all of the technical specialists and is based on input provided by those technical specialists. All of the risk assessment inputs including consequence and likelihood ratings were provided by the technical specialists;
�� Incorporates the outputs of the community consultation which occurred as part of the EES, although separate to the risk assessment process. The values and outcomes of the community consultation were incorporated to inform the risk assessment process; and
�� The EES considers a Reference Project as one possible solution. Under the Project Company model for project delivery, the implemented project will almost certainly differ from the Reference Project. For this reason, residual risk could not be comprehensively assessed.
4.2.2 Risk Assessment Methodology
The risk assessment approach used a multi-disciplinary group of technical specialists to identify and assess risks through a series of risk workshops. To assess risks consistently, a risk matrix was developed, defining the level of risk posed by project activities in terms of their ‘credible worst case’ consequence and the likelihood of that consequence occurring.
Levels of consequence for different assets and beneficial uses were clearly defined, from negligible to extreme, in terms of magnitude, space and time. A level of consequence was determined for each risk, taking into consideration all controls that would be in place to minimise or avoid the risk and having regard to ‘reasonable worst- case scenarios’.
Likelihood rankings were defined, from rare to certain, to describe the likelihood of the selected consequence occurring (note: this applies to the likelihood of that consequence occurring and not the likelihood of the activity occurring). The defined level of consequence and likelihood were used to form the risk matrix and assign a level of risk, ranging from low to critical, to each identified environmental effect.
The definition for the level of consequence for each asset or beneficial use was developed specifically for the Desalination Project based on consultation and advice from the technical specialists. The likelihood table was developed to incorporate the EES scoping requirements for the Desalination Project.
The consequence levels, likelihood levels and risk matrix relevant to this study are shown in Table 16, and Table 17 respectively.
A more detailed explanation of the risk assessment methodology is provided in the Victorian Desalination Project - Environmental Risk Assessment.
The risk outputs relevant to this report are presented in the following section

4.2.3 Risk assessment outcomes
It was concluded that during construction phase of the project medium risk activities are likely to include earthworks activities, construction across waterways and construction of a Booster Pump Station within LSIO. Earthworks and stockpiling and construction of the Booster Pump Station across the floodplain are considered to be low risk. During operation phases the Booster Pump Station may pose a medium risk, while Booster Pump Station onsite storage are likely to pose a low risk. These risks have been considered with appropriate controls in place. This section provides a basis for discussing these risks.
Earthworks - Disruption to levee banks Floodplains are the low-lying areas adjacent to rivers, creeks or drainage channels and can be inundated following heavy rainfall in the catchment. Several main waterway crossings will occur within the flat floodplain areas of the Koo-we-rup area. Levee banks are constructed around many of these waterways to protect adjacent public and private property from flooding activities. Disruption of these levee banks during construction may undermine the structural integrity of the levee banks and cause flooding to surrounding land.
The consequences of such an event are considered to be moderate as flooding events may affect the amenity of the local area and could potentially result in emotional and financial burden. It is considered unlikely that the impacts will be moderate as appropriate construction methods and management techniques should be implemented to avoid disruption to the levee. It will be a Melbourne Water requirement that permits for works on waterways be approved prior to construction. If appropriate construction and mitigation measures are undertaken in accordance with Melbourne Water requirements it is unlikely that there would be a significant impact on social amenity.
Construction across waterways
The Transfer Pipeline will cross waterways by either trenching or pipe jacking. The impacts of both trenching and pipe jacking are discussed in Section 5. Pipe jacking and Trenching can potentially have either direct or indirect impacts on the waterway (Section 5). Pipe jacking has been recommended for sites where there are high waterway values or where it is deemed that reinstatement would not be adequate if trenching was undertaken (Section 6.7). As a result of a combination of construction technique and appropriate mitigation (Section 6) at each waterway crossing, it is unlikely that construction across waterways will result in detrimental harm to the waterway. Appropriate crossing methods and mitigation plans will need to be developed in conjunction with the appropriate Catchment Management Authority.
5931/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Construction of the Booster Pump Station Construction of the booster pump station within the floodway has the potential to obstruct floodwaters if this activity coincides with a significant flood. Should this occur flood water may be redistributed.
There is a likelihood of a significant flood event occurring during construction. Without adequate mitigation works or controls this may result in a moderate impact due to marginally higher flood levels. The higher flood levels could have an impact on houses, agricultural land, and infrastructure upstream and adjacent to the Booster Pump Station.
The potential impacts are unlikely to occur if the following controls are implemented during construction:
�� Minimise the duration of construction activities;
�� Undertake any flood mitigation measures such as local reshaping between the edge of the Pump Station and the high ground to provide additional floodway capacity prior to construction of the Booster Pump Station; and
�� Minimise the construction footprint within the LSIO e.g. keep spoil heaps, machinery, site sheds and other obstructions outside of the LSIO.
Even with these control measures in place the consequence of flooding occurring during construction is moderate. Additional mitigation measures such as relocating the booster pump station to higher ground outside the LSIO may reduce the risk event further.
Operation of the Booster Pump Station As described above, the operation of the Booster Pump Station has the potential to alter flood flow regimes and increase flooding which may damage houses and other infrastructure.
Without adequate mitigation, constructing the Booster Pump Station within the LSIO would alter the flooding characteristics of the area by obstructing flood flows and increasing flood levels. The Booster Pump Station at this location would obstruct the deeper portion of the LSIO (approximately 1 metre deep), which may result in increases to flood levels upstream of the Booster Pump Station site. By obstructing this portion of the LSIO, floodwaters will be redistributed to the southwest. Increases in flows to the southwest would result in marginally higher flood levels.
To attain a permit to construct within the LSIO, the relevant authority will require control measures (probably as outlined in Section 6). With these controls in place, the likelihood of flooding impacts resulting from the booster pump station is rare. However the consequence of social and economic impacts would still be significant and has hence been considered as moderate. Hence the overall risk of increasing flood damage to houses is considered low.
Additional mitigation measures such as relocating the booster pump station to higher ground outside the LSIO may reduce the risk event further.

4.3 Detailed Waterway Risk Assessment A waterway specific risk assessment was undertaken for each waterway crossed by the Proposed Transfer Pipeline Alignment (Appendix E).
During this specific waterways risk assessment for the Desalinisation Project, sediment transport and flooding have been identified as the most important risk factors posing a threat to waterways during both construction and operation phases of the Project. The risk assessment considered the following scenarios: Specific impact 1: Sediment Transport risks associated with trenching;
�� Specific impact 2: Sediment Transport risks associated with pipe jacking;
�� Specific impact 3: Flooding risks associated with trenching; and
�� Specific impact 4: Flooding risks associated with pipe jacking.
Sediment Transport Risk Sediment can enter waterways as the result of erosion and sediment works within the vicinity of waterways. Sediment transport is used here as a general term to describe a range of factors including:
1. Erosion potential (e.g. bed, bank and floodplain erosion) which can provide a source of sediment to waterways;
2. Sediment conveyance (i.e. transport of sediment within water body); and
3. Sedimentation (i.e. deposition of sediments) locally and downstream.
Sediment transport risk is the result of a combination of the following factors:
�� Waterway type;
�� Catchment topography (position within the catchment);
�� Longitudinal profile (channel slope);
�� Soil cohesiveness (stability);
�� Catchment area;
�� Land management (fencing and land clearance); and
�� Site management of construction activities.
6131/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Sediment Transport Consequence The factors which may potentially affect sediment transport consequence are as follows:
�� Environmental value of the receiving waterway and presence of environmentally significant areas: The consequence has considered the environmental value of the receiving waterway systems in terms of waterway and water quality conditions (documented in the Regional River Health Strategies). The receiving waterway system has been considered in terms of both the value of the immediate waterway and the overall catchment system and point of discharge from the catchment outlet (eg Westernport Bay). It is noted Westernport Bay coastline is a RAMSAR site (wetlands of international significance) and therefore erosion is considered to have a higher impact when a crossing occurs within a channel that discharges into Westernport Bay. Waterbodies with permanent water have typically been assumed to be of higher environmental value than other waterways. Further assessment of consequence will need to be undertaken when site visits, aquatic ecological investigations and flora/fauna investigations are completed.
�� Catchment topography: If erosion occurs in steep hill areas the consequence of sediment transport is likely to be higher. Disturbance at this point within the landscape may enhance erosion processes by undermining the stability within the catchment and triggering active erosion process upstream. This could result in significant erosion in an upstream direction (headward erosion) and can provide a significant source of sediment resulting in sedimentation downstream. This can generally be avoided by appropriate reinstatement (see Section 5).
�� Location and angle at which the Transfer Pipeline cuts across the channel: If the Transfer Pipeline were to cut through the banks on an active bend (i.e. where natural erosive processes occur) erosion may be increased resulting in additional sediment transport which may cause altered channel planform (channel shape from an aerial perspective).
Sediment Transport Likelihood The factors which act as indicators of sediment transport likelihood ratings are:
�� Channel Slope: Sediment transport capacity is higher in steeper channels compared with flatter channels.
�� Waterway type and condition: The waterway classification type as described in Section 2.3, as well as site specific observations regarding waterway condition and bank stability
�� Soil cohesiveness: Soil cohesiveness will affect the likelihood of erosion occurring. Further investigation is required to confirm soils at each location. This will be undertaken within the scope of other specialist reports
6231/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
�� Catchment area; Large catchments will have higher flows and a higher potential for sediment transport.
Flooding Risk Flooding risk is broadly determined by a combination of the following factors:
�� Catchment size relative to conveyance and the potential to restrict flow due to construction activity; and
�� Asset and property locations relative to existing waterways, floodplains and LSIO.
Flooding risk is a result of a combination of flooding consequence and likelihood as described below.
Flooding Consequence The factors that may affect flooding consequence are:
�� Asset and property locations relative to existing waterways and floodplains This includes the location of roads, private and public property; and
�� Potential to cause hazardous conditions.
Where the location of assets and private or public property is within close proximity to waterways the consequence to flooding may be increased. Similarly, the number of assets and/or specific landuse may also determine the flooding consequence for a particular waterway crossing.
Flooding Likelihood Flooding likelihood is affected by the following factors:
�� Duration of construction:
The duration of works will vary depending upon the difficulty of construction at each waterway crossing. Possible duration of construction has been considered when determining a flooding likelihood rating. Whilst flood events cannot be predicted at any one time a longer duration of work will have an increased likelihood of being affected by a high flow event.
�� Size of the upstream catchment relative to capacity of temporary diversion works:
Larger catchments have a greater potential to produce flow events that may exceed the bank full capacity of the channel in the location of works and affect the ability of temporary diversions to cope with stream flow and maintain safe and practical working conditions.
and
�� Topography, including channel and floodplain geometry (shape).
Total channel capacity is a function of channel geometry and longitudinal profile. Evidence of an active floodplain may increase the likelihood rating for flooding risk.
6331/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Risk Assessment Methodology A typical risk assessment methodology was undertaken which aligned with the multidisciplinary whole Project risk assessment completed as part of the scope of the EES. (The definitions for consequence aligned with those presented within Section 4.1, however likelihood definitions were modified slightly to reflect potential impacts during construction and operation phases of the Project (Table 21).
The outcomes from this process are based upon information available at the time of writing and may evolve over time as further investigation is undertaken. Thus, this risk analysis cannot be deemed as final.
Risk assessment was undertaken based upon the assumptions that appropriate controls, i.e. mitigation measures, will be implemented (refer Section 5).
Soil degradation is considered for the purposes of this project to include bed, bank and floodplain erosion potential. This risk assessment has taken this factor into account, however further assessment of the risks associated with soil degradation including, acid sulphate soils, compaction, sedimentation, slope failure, subsidence and soil erodability is considered within Rosengren (2008).

4.3.1 Risk Assessment Conclusions
A specific Risk Assessment (Environmental Risk and Impact Assessment) has been undertaken for each of the waterway crossings in accordance with the consistent methodology applied throughout the Project. This risk assessment is based upon the current knowledge gained through field investigations (in areas where land access approval has been provided) and/or aerial photo analysis. The key risks for the Transfer Pipeline are associated with the construction of the Transfer Pipeline across the waterways with the main construction methodologies of trenching through the waterway or pipe jacking (a form of tunnelling) under the waterways to be considered. This assessment was initially applied at a broad level and has been included within the overall risk register for the Project. The typical potential impacts associated with these construction methods have been outlined below.
In considering the existing conditions of the waterways crossed by the Transfer Pipeline, and impacts from the construction methods, a preliminary assessment has also been applied. This assessment has been applied at a site-specific level for each identified waterway crossing focusing on risks associated with erosion/sedimentation transportation and flooding. The approach has been to determine a consequence assessment for the erosion and flooding impacts, and to then assign a likelihood rating to the occurrence of the impact at the assigned consequence level.
For this assessment, the following summarises the general conclusions:
�� Risks are most likely to affect construction phases of the Project, which includes both construction and the defect liability period;
�� Operation phase risks may occur, for example, if a headward erosion migrates upstream or the channel migrates towards the path of the Transfer Pipeline infrastructure;
�� Several Waterway crossings have higher risk of sediment transport due to existing stability issues and waterway conditions;
�� Large, generally named, waterways have higher risk of sediment transport during trenching methods of construction; and
�� Waterways within the Bass Catchment, generally have higher risk of erosion.

Section 5.2: Construction Impacts
This section discusses the potential impacts on the surface water environment of the Transfer Pipeline alignment
5.2 Available Construction Techniques There are a number of available methods for constructing waterway crossings, depending on environmental and engineering constraints. The two most common methods of waterway crossings are open cut trenching (with or without flow diversion) and pipe jacking (a form of tunnelling). The preferred crossing method is determined following the consideration of a number of site specific factors including safety risk, hydrology, stream substrate and geology, environmental sensitivities and engineering feasibility (APIA 2005).
It is understood that the construction methods being considered for the Transfer Pipeline will be either trenching or pipe jacking. This discussion on risk mitigation and recommendations of risk management measures assumes that one of these methods will be used at each waterway crossing. A summary of these methods is provided below.
5.2.1 Trenching
Standard open cut trenching is most often utilised in low flow, shallow or dry conditions. This technique involves setting up a stable work platform on each side of the watercourse and then excavating a trench. The trench is not completed until immediately prior to placement of the pipeline. All welding and coating of the pipeline is conducted in a cleared area away from the waterway embankment before placement. Tie in points are located on high ground away from the banks. Pre-welded pipes are then placed into the trench using slings from the excavators at either side of the waterway. The spoil from the watercourse bed and bank and trench spoil material are kept separate.
6631/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
This crossing method may be applied in sensitive streams where rapid construction is considered the best means of minimising environmental impacts. The primary risk of impact associated with trenching is the potential for release of high sediment loads during excavation and backfilling. If managed inappropriately, it could increase turbidity, impacting upon downstream water quality. Mitigation measures to reduce the environmental impact of trenching include, flow diversion, sediment capture devices and strict environmental management controls.
Where higher water volumes and flows are present, open trenching using streamflow diversion can be used. This technique will typically involve creating a dry construction area within which to work by pumping around the area. Other diversion techniques include diverting the water flow through a flume pipe installed between the dams. Diverted flow is maintained at a flow rate and water quality, which will allow the downstream reaches of the waterway to continue to function.
This construction method is most commonly used at waterway crossings where the natural flow regime is required to maintain environmental, social or engineering objectives.

Figure 5-2 Standard trenching construction with flow diversion in place
5.2.2 Pipe Jacking
Pipe jacking is a method of tunnel construction where hydraulic jacks are used to push specially made pipes through the ground behind a tunnel boring machine or shield. This technique is commonly used to create tunnels under existing natural or man-made structures, such as roads or railways or rivers.
This option provides added flexibility with the timing of works as pipe jacking under the crossing can occur when flows remain in waterways and it avoids the need to divert or dam flows. However consideration of the ground conditions and clearance requirements below the site specific waterway invert level is important in assessing the suitability of this technique.
The decision between open trenching and pipe-jacking may be based on engineering reasons, or on the need to prevent environmental impacts associated with construction.
Some key points about pipe jacking are:
�� The sleeve pipe is jacked from a jacking pit on one side of the waterway, to a receival pit on the other side of the waterway;
�� The jacking and receival pits will be substantial structures made of reinforced concrete or sheet piling;
6931/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
�� The jacks in the jacking pit are used to push the sleeve pipe into a cavity excavated ahead of the progressing pipe; the excavation would be by a tunnel-boring machine. The work follows a repetitive sequence of excavation ahead of the sleeve pipe, pushing the sleeve pipe into the excavated cavity, and removing the spoil by muck carts running on rails inside the sleeve pipe back to the jacking pit;
�� Ground conditions determine the viability of pipe-jacking. Variable conditions make steering difficult. Squeezing clays and running sands increase soil/pipe friction and jacking loads, and can require stabilisation of the ground ahead of the sleeve pipe by grout or chemical injection from the surface; and
�� Pipe-jacking poses additional technical risks and complexity for the construction
5.3 Potential Impacts The following list of potential impacts of each construction technique is based on previous experience in waterway construction management and a desktop assessment of the likely impacts that may occur on each of the waterways along the Transfer Pipeline alignment. However, this list should not be deemed as definitive, and individual waterway crossings should undergo a site inspection to assess the potential impacts of construction on each site.
5.3.1 Direct Impacts
TrenchingPotential impacts that can occur as a direct result of trenching construction methods include:
�� Disturbance to bed and banks;
�� Disturbance to floodplains;
�� Stream bed degradation;
�� Stream bank degradation;
�� Scour potential from poor pipeline orientation:
– The impact of erosion from bed and bank disturbance can include water quality impacts on the downstream environment. General construction activities (e.g. stockpiling of material, etc.) may lead to sedimentation issues;
�� Change to natural channel planform;
�� Impacts to natural flow regime;
�� Impacts to riparian and aquatic flora and fauna; and
�� Disturbances or loss of native vegetation (including seedbank, instream and riparian vegetation).
7031/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Pipe-jacking Potential impacts associated with pipe jacking include:
�� Disturbance to floodplains;
�� Disturbances or loss of native vegetation (including seedbank and riparian vegetation);
�� Failure of pipe jacking leading to a collapsed hole and lost tools with possible additional land requirements for subsequent attempts;
�� Seepage of slurry mud into land and the watercourse; and
�� Washout of cavities and collapse of easement.
These direct impacts are dependent on the soil conditions and depth requirements imposed at site-specific locations. The suitability of pipe jacking will need to consider the geotechnical conditions at each site.
It is noted that in general, impacts on riparian flora and fauna and disturbance to or loss of native riparian vegetation will be less for pipe jacking than for trenching given the reduced footprint of disturbed riparian areas at ground level and the setback from the riparian zone of the waterway.
5.3.2 Indirect Impacts
Indirect impacts to waterways that can occur from either method if inappropriately managed during the construction phase include:
�� Soil erosion caused by ground disturbance;
�� Water quality impacts such as sedimentation and sediment transport associated with inadequate site controls;
�� Impacts to water quality from construction vehicle fuels, oils and greases (although it is noted that given the setback from the top of banks of the waterway, these impacts will generally be less for pipe jacking techniques);
�� Introduction and spread of weed species from construction vehicles and machinery; and
�� Visual impacts of construction equipment.
5.3.3 Booster Pump Station Construction
The Booster Pump Station (BPS) is located adjacent to Cardinia Drain, in a designated Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) area. The footprint of the Booster Pump Station extends approximately 60 m into a 100 m wide band of LSIO that is bounded by the Levee and high ground to the south.
7131/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Construction of the booster pump station will involve site-levelling, construction of a hardstand area, provision of access tracks and trenching and backfilling for equipment and structure foundations. This work will require the use of earth moving equipment, trucks, mobile cranes and transport vehicles and will likely require approximately 1 hectare of cleared area and the construction of a 6 metre wide gravel access track.
Impacts associated with the construction of the booster pump station may affect the surface water environment. In addition, siting of the booster pump station within an LSIO has the potential to alter flow regimes and/or damage or disturb surface water ecosystems.
Generally, the potential impacts include alteration of flow regimes, sediment from construction site runoff, construction fuels, oils and other chemicals entering waterways.
The impact on these nearby waterways is likely to be similar to impacts associated with other development construction activity.
The Construction of the BPS will occur over 12-18 months and during that time activities may obstruct the floodway. Obstruction of the floodway during construction will reduce the floodplain volume currently available. As a result, if a major flood occurs during the construction period, the level of the floodwaters will rise higher than they would normally, and therefore expand the inundation area. During the construction period, runoff from storm events may produce the same water surface elevations in the floodplain as currently experienced in slightly larger events, thus the frequency of flooding events may also increase. Natural surface elevations indicate the expansion of floodwaters is likely to occur in a south-westerly direction. The expanded extent and height of floodwaters may impact on houses, agricultural land, and infrastructure upstream and adjacent to the BPS.
5.3.4 Booster Pump Station Operation
During operation the BPS will obstruct the floodway and may cause an increase in flooding events as outlined for construction activity. During operation of the BPS it is likely that onsite storage of fuels, oils or chemicals will occur. A significant rainfall event may produce runoff that mobilises fuels, oils, contaminated sediments and other chemicals into waterways.

7331/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
6.2 Standard Management Measures A range of measures is commonly used to mitigate potential impacts on the surface water environment. These are discussed below and incorporate recommendations from the following references:
�� Guidelines for Assessment of Applications for Permits and Licences for Works on Waterways, (SKM 2001);
�� Guidelines for Stabilising Waterways - Standing Committee on Rivers and Catchments, Victoria, (DSE 1991);
�� Technical Guidelines for Waterway Management, (DSE, 2007a);
�� Water Transfer Pipelines Design Requirements (Draft), (Melbourne Water, 2008b);
�� Australian Pipeline Industry Association Code of Environmental Practice – Onshore Pipelines (APIA, 2005);
�� EPA Publication 480 Best Practice Environmental Management: Environmental Guidelines for Major Construction Sites (EPA, 1996);
�� EPA Publication 275 Construction Techniques for Sediment Pollution Control (EPA, 1991); and
�� Urban Stormwater: best practice environmental management guidelines (CSIRO, 1999).
It is anticipated that an Environmental Management Framework (EMF) including an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) will be established prior to the construction of the Transfer Pipeline. The EMF and EMP should address site management and sediment controls in terms of water quality issues in the context of the SEPP (Waters of Victoria) requirements.
The SEPP aims to provide a coordinated approach for the protection of the health of Victoria’s water environments. Regarding construction activities the SEPP states, “Construction works need to be managed to minimise land disturbance, soil erosion and the discharge of sediments and other pollutants to surface waters.” Construction managers are therefore required to implement effective management practices consistent with requirements as outlined in the EPA publications listed above. The SEPP also states, where construction activities cross or adjoin surface waters, construction managers are required to monitor affected surface waters to make an assessment as to the protection of the beneficial uses.
The consequence on the receiving waterway may vary depending on the waterway value from an ecological perspective. However, with many of waterways discharging to the Westernport Bay, it is possible that the requirements may default to becoming more stringent in recognition the RAMSAR wetland status of the coastal waters of Westernport Bay (irrespective of the status of the waterway being directly affected). In order to demonstrate compliance with SEPP requirements, a pre, during and post construction monitoring program is typically required as part of an EMP.
7431/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Section 6.3 outlines a list of typical construction management measures that are likely to be included as part of the standard conditions set within the Works on Waterways Permit issued by the CMA. These measures are typically undertaken during waterways construction works to minimise the impact on the receiving environment. The risk assessment and associated recommendations have been based on the expectation that construction of the Project will include these standard construction activity and site management measures. Any such EMP should not be limited to the mitigation measures listed herein.
6.3 Construction Management Measures �� Erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with the EMF should be
established prior to construction:
– The impact of erosion can include water quality impacts on the downstream environment. General construction activities (eg. stockpiling of material, etc.) may lead to sedimentation issues, and these requirements should be managed or addressed via the EMF;
– The EMF should describe requirements or measures for the Project Company to avoid or minimise the adverse impact of construction activities on the environment including demonstrating compliance with SEPP requirements;
�� Erosion and sediment control measures should be regularly inspected, particularly following rainfall events, to ensure their ongoing functionality;
�� Minimising disturbance through appropriate construction methodology;
�� Ensuring that all excavations are properly rehabilitated so that the potential scour is minimised for a range of flow conditions;
�� Vegetation clearance should be avoided where possible. If clearance cannot be avoided, the area of vegetation cleared at any one time should be minimised;
�� Reinstatement of vegetation as quickly as practicable;
�� All stockpiled material should be stored in bunded areas and kept remote from waterways;
�� Top soils should be stockpiled separately to subsoils;
�� Soils should be reinstated in the order in which they were removed;
�� Creation and maintenance of designated construction equipment wash down and refuelling areas outside the riparian zone of the waterway with established bunding and contamination control measures in place;
�� Waterway crossings should be avoided during periods of heavy rainfall and flooding;
�� Contingency plans to address heavy rainfall and flood events during construction should be included in the EMF. The contingency plan should address:
– Limiting stormwater entering excavation areas;
– Enhancement of controls when heavy rain is forecast;
7531/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
– Siting of facilities;
– Clean up procedures;
– A flood warning system;
– Procedures for limiting loss of spoil and other hazardous materials; and
– Notification of authorities.
6.4 Specific Mitigation Measures In addition to the standard management requirements that would be expected during construction, the following section provides further detail on mitigation measures more specific to the expected activities associated with the construction of the Transfer Pipeline. In part these project specific measures encompass standard best practice waterway management, however this list emphasises the type of requirements that may be imposed to further minimise the impact on the environment, depending on the type of waterway that is at risk.
Minimise Site Disturbance Actions to be taken to avoid site-based disturbance during the construction period should include:
�� Minimising the width and effective footprint of works;
�� Controlling the route used by machinery into and out of the works site;
�� Avoiding the need for access of heavy machinery to the bed of the waterways as works should be undertaken from the top of the banks where possible; and
�� Disturbance by machinery or works of the banks surrounding the site should be avoided.
�� Wash down areas should be placed at key entry and exit points;
Crossing Alignment Preferably, crossing should occur on a straight portion of the waterway to avoid the risk of erosion. Where this is not possible bank stability works should be implemented in accordance with Guidelines for Stabilising Waterways- Standing Committee on Rivers and Catchments, (DSE, 1991) and Technical Guidelines for Waterway Management (DSE 2007a) To avoid adverse environmental impacts it is recommended that the Transfer Pipeline should cross the waterway perpendicular to the direction of flows. This is particularly relevant for channels with defined bed and banks and should form part of the EMF.
Placement of clean rock for working platform Where construction is to occur on a waterway with active flow, an area of clean graded rock should be constructed to provide a stable platform for construction vehicles to work from and minimise the transport of sediment into the downstream waterway.
7631/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Streamflow diversion measures Where higher water volumes and flows are present, streamflow diversion should be in place. This technique will typically involve creating a dry construction area within which to work by pumping around the area. Other diversion techniques include diverting the water flow through a flume pipe installed between the dams.
Diverted flow should be maintained at a flow rate and water quality, which will allow the downstream reaches of the waterway to continue to function.
Diversion drains and bunds for water management Diversion drains should be established during construction works to manage site runoff and minimise the transport of sediment from the construction site into the waterway.
Weed Management GHD recommends that weed management measures be implemented within the EMF for the construction phase to: (a) prevent the introduction of additional weeds into the site; and (b) control any weeds that establish at the site during the soil disturbance associated with construction. In addition, the WMP is needed for on-going control of weeds at the site during the post construction phase of the project.
Revegetation �� Revegetation plans should consider the benefits vegetation can provide in
promoting bank stability;
�� Any areas of native vegetation disturbed by the construction of the Transfer Pipeline should be revegetated following completion of the works. These revegetation works should be included in the Project in addition to any revegetation works that may be proposed in a Net Gain Offset Plan, where required;
�� Revegetation works should be conducted in accordance with DSE guidelines: Revegetation Planting Standards (DSE 2006).
�� Any revegetation works should adhere to defined DSE standards (DSE 2006). These standards include meeting a number of minimum establishment and on-going management requirements as part of a 10-year management plan. These include guidelines for:
– Site protection (e.g. fencing) and site preparation (weed control, mulching);
– Planting design (plant densities relative to EVA benchmarks);
– Source of planting stock (locally indigenous);
– Planting options and schedule; and
– Post-planting maintenance (e.g. weed control).
Structural Stabilisation Works Bed control structures, rock riprap (beaching) and armouring can be used as a means of providing bed and bank protection where vegetation will not provide the required stability. Stabilisation works should be conducted in accordance with Guidelines for Stabilising Waterways- Standing Committee on Rivers and Catchments, (DSE, 1991).
7731/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
It is noted this document has recently been supplemented by Technical Guidelines for Waterway Management (DSE 2007a).
Rock Rip Rap Rock riprap is used for bank protection works where required for works that may impact on local bank stability.
The rock riprap should extend upstream and downstream from the trench to protect the banks and should match with the existing stream profile. If construction of the Transfer Pipeline occurs on a bend, more extensive riprap protection would be required. The rock riprap should cover approximately two-thirds of the bank height. The upper third can be stabilised by using vegetation. For additional bank toe protection, the use of larger rock keyed into the existing bank toe should be undertaken. The larger placed rocks can protrude slightly from the bed and bank surface to promote habitat value.
Bed Control Structures or Armouring Bed protection may be required following trenching through some larger channels or those prone to bed instability. The pipe should be laid below the hard invert and the trench should be backfilled and protected with a layer of graded rock. Any grade control structure would need to be designed to maintain the hydraulic capacity of the waterway.
Waterway Rehabilitation Opportunities For some waterways where the CMA is looking to improve the waterway condition to achieve longer-term strategic objectives within the catchment, there may be opportunities to apply rehabilitation measures over a larger “whole-of-reach” scale. Therefore, there may be some waterways where rehabilitation associated with trenching could be combined with whole-of-reach bed and bank rehabilitation and enhancement. The consideration of the opportunities in consultation with the CMA may influence the outcome on the accepted construction methodology.
6.5 Operational Management Measures Additional requirements may need to be addressed during the operational phase of the Project in order to minimise the impact on the surface water environment: These may include:
�� Monitoring of the downstream bed stability of the waterway;
�� Design recommendations informed by the geotechnical investigation to address the potential for differential settlements in areas containing soft or compressible soil types;
�� The restriction of inspection access in sensitive areas (eg. waterways) to foot as much as possible; and
�� All inspections portals, valves, etc. are not installed in the vicinity of the waterway crossings as they may be inundated during periods of high flow.

6.7 Implications of Risk Assessment for Construction Methodology at Waterway Crossings
The risk assessment process has provided a basis for determining an appropriate construction methodology for each waterway crossing. The risk assessment as outlined in Section 4.2 has been considered for both trenching and pipe jacking. The key risks are associated with the construction of the Transfer Pipeline across the waterways for the construction methodologies of open cut trenching through the waterway or tunnel pipe jacking under the waterways.
The appropriate construction methodology draws upon the outcomes of the risk assessment, and should encompass the recommendations outlined within Section 6.4.
In working through the risk assessment for all identified waterway crossings, the interpretation of the outcomes is summarised below:
�� The associated risk for pipe jacking is either equivalent to or less than the associated risk for trenching (without any specific information regarding the soil conditions);
�� The risk assessment for sediment transport has informed the construction methodology, and indicated where additional mitigation measures are required to reduce the sediment transport risk; and
�� The risk assessment associated with flooding has indicated where additional mitigation measures are required to reduce the flooding risks and associated impacts.
The risk assessment is essentially informing the project on appropriate construction methods and determining where trenching is considered acceptable or where pipe jacking is recommended for consideration. Therefore the interpretation of the risk assessment associated with the trenching methodology in accordance with the following has informed the appropriate construction methodology:
�� Where the associated risk for trenching has been assessed as low, trenching construction methods are deemed to be acceptable. It is noted this is typically on the basis of the consequence being assessed as “insignificant to minor”, and/or the likelihood of occurrence typically “unlikely”; and
�� Where the associated risk for trenching has been assessed as medium, the construction methodology will be in accordance with the following:
– Pipe Jacking, if the implementation of additional mitigation measures does not reduce the risk;
– Trenching, where implementation of specific mitigation measures can reduce the risk.
8131/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
For the waterway crossings with medium risk where trenching is considered acceptable, the application of the mitigation and rehabilitation measures will be in accordance with the typical measures as summarised according to the waterway types outlined in Section 5.5. It is noted site specific mitigation measures and construction methods recommended for consideration for each of the relevant waterway crossings are outlined where appropriate in the summary proformas (Appendix D). It is expected that local issues or processes identified pre-construction may also lead to other additional mitigation measures more specific to the individual waterway crossing. It is noted the Project Company will need to demonstrate mitigation controls and rehabilitation methods and site management mitigation controls in accordance with methods outlined to reduce the risk.
�� Where the associated risk has been assessed as high to critical, pipe jacking is the preferred and recommended construction method. It is noted there are some locations where if the alignment is moved, the risk could potentially reduce and trenching may become acceptable.
Table 22 outlines the number of waterway crossings where pipe jacking construction should be recommended for consideration.
For the nominated locations for pipe jacking, there may be some waterways where rehabilitation associated with trenching could be combined with whole-of-reach bed and bank rehabilitation and enhancement. As indicated, there are also some locations where if the alignment is moved, the risk could potentially reduce and trenching may become acceptable. Furthermore, for other locations subject to findings of further assessment or consultation there may be opportunities for trenching activities to be combined with strategic improvement works over a greater length of waterway.

MWC Identified* – However, further investigation required to clarify flora and fauna values and flow status. Current investigation undertaken when flows were significantly altered by adjacent construction activities.
# The waterway crossings where pipe jacking has been considered will need to be confirmed with the relevant CMA.
From the above summary, the number of expected pipe jacking construction operations is 17, and will include crossing of 26 of the identified waterway crossings. There are seven locations where the closely spaced waterway alignments would be expected to be pipe jacked in a single launch and retrieve pipe jack operation.
It is noted additional crossings identified by MWC where they consider pipe jacking to be preferred have been indicated (*) in the above table. Further assessment or demonstration of the accepted mitigation and/or rehabilitation methods would be required if trenching is to be considered.
In discussions with the MWC and WGCMA it is understood that unless the EES determines that the open cut trenching is acceptable, pipe jacking will generally be the preferred construction methodology. From correspondence with MWC open cut trenching may be considered acceptable on minor creek tributaries with low environmental value and small drains and depressions, and pipe jacking will be the preferred method of construction for major and/or environmentally significantwaterways. From a Contractor’s perspective, the preferred method of construction would typically be open cut trenching in terms of both cost and construction period for the works.
The risk assessment as documented has provided an independent basis for determining the waterway crossings where pipe jacking is recommended and where open cut trenching is considered to be acceptable. It is noted ongoing consultation with CMAs will be required in terms of determining in principle agreement on the accepted construction methodology of the waterway crossings, and the specific requirements associated with a Works on Waterway permit for the construction of the crossings.
Other Recommendations It is recommended that the pipeline alignment be moved to the East approximately 150 m within the vicinity of waterway crossing 329. Site assessment at this waterway crossing highlighted that the pipeline asset may be undermined if the alignment is not altered. This site has low environmental values and as such was not given a high risk rating when considering sediment transport risk. However, due to the active nature of the waterway bank erosion is likely to cause migration of the stream channel in the direction of the pipeline. As a result the transfer pipeline could become exposed if the alignment is not modified accordingly.
6.8 Booster Pump Station Operation and Construction Mitigation
Construction The BPS is currently located within the LSIO which may increase the flood extent (section 5.3.3). In order to construct the booster pump station within an LSIO, a permit will need to be obtained from the relevant floodplan management authority. Possible mitigation methods to offset the impacts of obstructing the floodway and meet Melbourne Water requirements may include:
�� Streamlining and minimising the footprint of the booster pump station site, and/or
8431/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
�� Local reshaping between the edge of the Pump Station and the high ground to provide additional floodway capacity.
Additional to these are the following standard controls that would be implemented during construction:
�� Minimise the duration of construction activities;
�� Undertake any flood mitigation measures such as local reshaping between the edge of the Pump Station and the high ground to provide additional floodway capacity prior to construction of the Booster Pump Station; and
�� Minimise the construction footprint within the LSIO e.g. keep spoil heaps, machinery, site sheds and other obstructions outside of the LSIO.
An alternative option to the above is to relocate the booster pump station to higher ground outside of the flood path and therefore, avoiding the LSIO.
Operation To reduce the impact of a flooding event on the BPS and surrounding stakeholders, appropriate flood design measures prior to construction of the BPS should be considered. Measures such as streamlining and minimising the area occupied by the BPS within the LSIO, and reshaping the ground between the BPS and the high ground to provide a path for floodwaters should be implemented to avoid an increase to the flooding extent. If possible the BPS should be relocated to high ground outside the LSIO.

7. Conclusions
The desalination Transfer Pipeline is approximately 85 km in length from the Desalination Plant to the Melbourne water supply system via Cardinia Reservoir. An assessment of the waterway crossing for the Transfer Pipeline alignment (Rev E) has included an assessment of the existing conditions and potential impacts at the waterway crossings, primarily associated with the construction of the Transfer Pipeline.
The Transfer Pipeline alignment crosses through seven main catchments and will cross 100 waterways, of which 17 are named waterways and 8 are named drains. Waterways within these catchments have undergone significant alteration as a result of land clearance and reclamation. Agricultural and urban landuses have enhanced sediment and contaminant levels within many of these waterways. The Western Port study (CSIRO Land and Water, 2003) indicated that both the Bunyip and Lang Lang catchments contribute significant amounts of sediment to Western Port each year. In addition Toomuc Creek, Deep Creek, Cardinia Creek and Powlett River exceeded SEPP guidelines for turbidity or suspended solids indicating that these catchments do receive some significant sediment inputs. IRC and ISC scores indicate that generally waterways are within moderate to poor condition. An exception is the Bass River which, while generally in moderate condition, has pockets of good condition.
A specific Risk Assessment (Environmental Risk and Impact Assessment) has been undertaken for the waterway crossings in accordance with the consistent methodology applied throughout the Project. This assessment was initially applied at a broad level that has been included within the overall risk register for the Project. The key risks for the Transfer Pipeline component of the Project are associated with the construction phase activities for the Transfer Pipeline works across the waterways. The construction methodologies considered are trenching through the waterway or tunnel pipe jacking under the waterways. The typical potential impacts associated with these construction methods have been outlined.
In considering the existing conditions assessment and impacts from the construction methods, an assessment has also been applied at a site-specific level for each identified waterway crossing focusing on risks associated with erosion/sedimentation and flooding only. The approach has been to determine a consequence assessment for the erosion and flooding impacts, and to then assign a likelihood rating to the occurrence of the impact at the assigned consequence level.
The preliminary consequence level for the erosion (Environmental) and flooding (Social) impacts at each waterway crossing considered the assessment of the existing conditions of the waterway crossing locations and overall systems as follows:
�� The waterway and water quality conditions of the receiving waterway systems (including Western Port Bay) in a broad context as documented in the Regional River Health Strategies for the CMA’s;
�� Geomorphic classification in terms of type of waterway and status of the current stability, and location within catchment and overall catchment area; and
9331/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
�� The amenity and impact on the community in terms of flooding.
The preliminary likelihood ratings assigned to the consequence has been determined by considering the following:
�� Geomorphologic characterisation of the waterways including stream processes and susceptibility to erosion, including interpretation of channel slope and geometric features based on aerial photos and topographic information;
�� Hydrologic interpretation of some of the designated waterways in terms of seasonally varying flows and design peak flows (where stream flow information is available); and
�� Site conditions.
Soil degradation is considered for the purposes of this project to include bed, bank and floodplain erosion potential. Further assessment of the risks associated with soil degradation including, acid sulphate soils, compaction, sedimentation, slope failure, subsidence and soil erodability is considered within Rosengren (2008).
The proformas prepared for each waterway crossing has provided the basis of the risk assessment and determination of the risk rating. In drawing conclusions from the risk assessment for the Transfer Pipeline at the waterway crossings, this has led to the recommendation of the appropriate construction methodology as outlined below:
�� An assessment of the existing conditions of the waterways and determination of the risk ratings derived from the consequence levels and likelihood ratings and subsequent derived risk rating considering the following:
– Findings from field inspections at each crossing location including observations of stream processes and key features;
– Findings from and integration with other specialist studies including (but not limited to) Flora and Fauna (Aquatic ecology), Geotechnical and Groundwater;
– Subsequent advice and feedback from relevant specialists and responsible authorities;
�� Based on known available information, in considering both construction methodologies the pipe jacking approach typically results in an equivalent or lower risk ratings compared to the trenching methodology for both flooding and erosion impacts. It is noted this general conclusion may be altered by the additional information as it becomes available prior to design documentation and construction (i.e. Geotechnical information at the sites);
�� In considering the practical implications of both construction methods and on the basis of the risks associated with trenching being greater than or equivalent to the pipe jacking methodology. Therefore the interpretation of the risk assessment associated with the trenching methodology in accordance with the following has determined the appropriate construction methodology as summarised below:
– Where the associated risk for trenching has been assessed as low, trenching construction methods are deemed to be acceptable;
9431/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
– Where the associated risk for trenching has been has been assessed as medium, the construction methodology will be in accordance with the following:
– Pipe Jacking, if the implementation of additional mitigation measures does not reduce the risk;
– Trenching, where implementation of specific mitigation measures can reduce the risk. It is noted the Project Company will need to demonstrate mitigation controls and rehabilitation methods and site management mitigation controls in accordance with methods outlined to reduce the rating; and
– Where the associated risk has been assessed as high to critical, pipe jacking is the preferred and recommended construction method.
For trenching the application of site specific mitigation measures for the relevant waterway crossings are outlined where appropriate in the summary proformas (Appendix D). It is expected that local issues or processes identified pre-construction may also lead to other additional mitigation measures more specific to the individual waterway crossing. It is noted the Project Company will need to demonstrate mitigation controls and rehabilitation methods and site management mitigation controls in accordance with methods outlined to reduce the risk.
For the nominated locations for pipe jacking, there may be some waterways where rehabilitation associated with trenching could be combined with whole-of-reach bed and bank rehabilitation and enhancement. As indicated, there are also some locations where if the alignment is moved, the risk could potentially reduce and trenching may become acceptable. The consideration of the opportunities in consultation with the authority may influence the outcome on the accepted construction methodology.
General Through consultation with Melbourne Water Corporation and West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority it is understood that the Project Company will be required to he undertake a site-specific assessment in coordination with the responsible authority once the alignment and details are finalised. The aim of site specific assessment with representatives from the CMA is to agree on the most practical approach in relation to construction within close proximity to waterways to meet the overall objectives in relation to the management of their waterways and the requirements as part of a Works on Waterways permit. In working through a risk assessment for each waterway appropriate site management controls and mitigation measures have been identified. These will need to continue to be developed prior to construction across waterways.
To confirm the recommendation for an acceptable construction method at each crossing location and appropriate constraints for the construction easement width the following will need to be considered:
�� Conclusions from other specialist studies including (but not limited to) Flora and Fauna (Aquatic ecology), Geotechnical, Cultural heritage and Groundwater; and
�� Subsequent advice and consultation with relevant specialists and responsible authorities (in particular the Catchment Management Authorities).
9531/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
The development of more site-specific controls and mitigation measures in conjunction with the CMAs will be required for preparing works on waterway permits applications prior to construction.
Assessments in this report have been developed using design concept based on the current Project description (Version 9.0) and the current alignment (Rev E). The findings and recommendations contained in this report should only be used by suitably qualified and informed professionals.

Appendix B
Water Quality Assessment for the Proposed Transfer Pipeline
31/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Appendix B
Water Quality Analysis, for Waterway Crossings ofthe Transfer Pipeline Route
Water Quality IndicatorsThe following relevant parameters were compared with SEPP guidelines for the purposes of this assessment:
Turbidity
Turbidity is an indication of the cloudiness of water caused by the presence of fine suspended matter such asclay, silt and other microscopic particles (NHMRC and NRMC 2004). Turbidity is a measurement of the lightscattering property of water, and the degree of scattering is dependent on the amount, size and composition ofthe suspended matter (NHMRC and NRMC 2004).
Elevated turbidity is considered an indication of poor water quality as the cloudiness inhibits light penetrationthrough the water and reduces aquatic ecosystem productivity.
Suspended Solids
Suspended Solids (SS) is a measurement of the amount of suspended particulate matter present in a watersample. SS measurement is a quantitative analysis of the volume of SS in solution whereas, turbidity is aqualitative measurement of the effect SS has on transmission of light through water.
As with elevated turbidity levels, high SS concentration may be considered an indication of poor water qualityas it also correlates with a reduction in ability of light to penetrate the water. Further, SS levels often correlatewith nutrient concentrations, as some nutrients, such as phosphorous enter a waterway via adsorption toparticulate matter that is transported to the system.
Aesthetic appeal is also reduced by high suspended sediments.
Eschericha coli
The main sources of Eschericha coli (E.coli) are usually municipal sewage discharges, overflows from septictank systems and animal waste from urban and agricultural areas (CCME 2002). These organisms are oftenfound within the gut of warm blooded animals and can make their way to rivers and creeks during stormevents as surfaces are washed clean and sewage systems can be put under stress. These organisms do notpersist for long outside of a host as a result, their presence is an indicator of a recent spill event.
Nutrients – Nitrogen and Phosphorous
Nutrients are important for aquatic ecosystem function, however elevated concentrations can cause poorwaterway health.
Excess nitrogen and phosphorus within water bodies can be the result of fertiliser application within thecatchment or faecal matter from stock. Victorian streams tend to have a balance of N and P. When one of
these nutrients are exceeded algal growth can occur which can alter instream habitats or blue-green algaemay form which can be toxic to humans, animals and birds inhabiting the water (EPA 1998).
Lead
Lead (Pb) is a heavy metal and is mined widely throughout the world (NHMRC and NRMC 2004). Lead is usedin the production of a broad range of goods including lead acid batteries, solder, alloys, cable sheathing, paintpigments, rust inhibitors and lead compounds are used as anti-knock and lubricating compounds in gasoline(NHMRC and NRMC 2004). High concentrations of lead in water can be harmful to organisms. This concern ishighlighted by the low limit for exceedance in the SEPP water quality guidelines.
Zinc
Zinc (Zn) is a widely distributed mineral that occurs in small amounts in rocks, commonly as zinc sulfide. It isalso used as a coating to prevent corrosion of iron and steel products, and for brass manufacture (NHMRCand NRMC 2004). The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (NHMRC and NRMC 2004) state that in surfaceand ground waters, the concentration of zinc from natural leaching is usually less than 0.01 mg/L. Notably, thisconcentration exceeds the SEPP guideline of less than 0.005 mg Zn/L for Western Port waterways.
Water Quality Results and AnalysisFor each waterway sampled a variety of microbial and physicochemical water quality parameters wereanalysed. For these parameters guideline trigger values exist that can be used as reference levels to assessthe water quality. APPENDIX B outlines the relevant Waters of Western Port Catchment SEPP guidelines.
Only long-term statistics have been analysed using the Melbourne Water long term monitoring data and theVictorian Water Resources Data Warehouse (VWR) data sets. For a more detailed characterisation of thewaterway baseline conditions temporal and spatial variation in water quality may be significant.
Melbourne Water and VWR Water Quality Results
The following observations regarding the long term water quality monitoring results have been made for eachwaterway (with reference to the table below):
Bunyip� All four sites exceed SEPP guidelines for TN and Zn;
� Labertouche and Longwarry North sites exceed SEPP guidelines for Suspended Solids;
� The Koo-Wee-Rup Rd site exceeds SEPP guidelines for Turbidity and TP; and
� The Longwarry North and Iona sites exceed SEPP guidelines for E. Coli.
Deep Creek� All water quality parameters exceed SEPP guidelines, with the exception of Lead; and
� The maximum Turbidity and Suspended Solids measurements were reported at Deep Creek.
Lang Lang River� Both sites exceed SEPP guidelines for TN, TP, E.Coli and Zinc;
� The South Gippsland Highway site also exceeds SEPP guidelines for Turbidity and Lead; and
� The South Gippsland Highway site reported the maximum Lead concentration of all sites monitored.
Eumemmerring Creek
� With the exception of Lead, all water quality parameters exceed SEPP guidelines for this site.
Toomuc Creek� Both sites exceed SEPP guidelines for Turbidity, TN, TP and Zinc.
Cardinia Creek
� Both sites exceed SEPP guidelines for TN, TP and Zinc;
� The Upper Beaconsfield site also exceeds SEPP guidelines for Suspended Solids and
� The Ballarato Road site exceeds SEPP guidelines for Turbidity.
Bass River� TN, TP, Lead and Zinc levels exceed SEPP guidelines; and
� The Bass River site reported the maximum Zinc concentration of all sites monitored.
Powlett River
� Both sites exceed SEPP guidelines for TN and TP;
� The downstream Wonthaggi site also exceeds SEPP guidelines for Turbidity; and
� The downstream Wonthaggi site reported the maximum Turbidity and Suspended Solids measurements ofall sites monitored.
The following observations have been made about the individual water quality parameters:
� All waterways exceed SEPP guidelines for TN;
� All waterways exceed SEPP guidelines for Zinc; and
� With the exception of the Bunyip Main Drain site at Iona, all sites exceed SEPP guidelines for TP.

SEPP Assessment of the Transfer Pipeline Alignment
31/224461/ 3/147572 Desalination Project Final Impact Assessment for Surface Water, Hydrology and Waterway Crossings for the Transfer Pipeline
Appendix CState Environment Protection Policy Assessment of the Transfer Pipeline AlignmentThe State Environmental Protection Policy (SEPP)(Waters of Victoria) aims to help achieve sustainable surface watersby:
� “Setting out the environmental values and beneficial uses of water that Victorians want, and the environmental qualityrequired to protect them”, and
� “Setting, within a 10 year timeframe, goals for protection agencies, businesses and communities and means bywhich they can be met”.
For this document ‘beneficial uses’ are defined as a “…use of the environment which is conductive to public benefit,welfare, safety, health or aesthetic enjoyment and which requires protection from the effects of waste discharges.” Intrying to protect these uses the SEPP (Waters of Victoria) notes that the variation of environmental quality of surfacewaters on a state-wide scale will mean that:
� “Some beneficial uses are currently protected and will remain protected”;
� “Some beneficial uses may not be fully attained in all segments within the 10-year lifetime of the [SEPP]. In thesecases, the regional catchment and coastal management processes will set regional targets to be achieved over the[SEPP’s] life”;
� “Some beneficial uses in some surface waters may not be fully attained due to extensive environmental modification.This should be taken into account when developing and prioritising actions to improve environmental quality.”
The SEPP provides a broad overarching policy framework for the protection of the surface waters of Victoria, but alsoincludes a number of ‘Schedules’ and ‘Policies’ that focus in on specific waters or catchments to provide improvedprotection and/or rehabilitation of specific beneficial uses to these areas.
Relevant SEPP Components
Based on the transfer pipeline alignment and its associated waterway crossings, the following components of the SEPPare relevant when determining the beneficial uses and water quality objectives:
� State Environmental Protection Policy (Waters of Victoria) – general document;
� ‘Insertion Schedule F8 – Waters of Western Port Bay and Catchment‘ – addition to overall SEPP;
� ‘Insertion Schedule F6 – Waters of Port Phillip Bay’ - addition to overall SEPP; and
� ‘Policy Area No. W-28A (Waters of the Dandenong Valley)’ – an addition component of Schedule F6.
Segments of Surface Water Environments
In order to focus the environmental objectives on to the beneficial uses of specific area, the broad areas covered underthe documents above have been separated in to policy areas or segments with varying beneficial uses. Table 1 providesa breakdown of the policy area or segment and SEPP component classification of all the waterway crossings along thetransfer pipeline alignment (please note these classifications are approximate based on the small, black and white figuresin the above mentioned SEPP components).

Attainment Program
There are responsibilities for communities, businesses and protection agencies, to plan and manage Victoria’s surfacewaters and any activity that impacts on them, in an ecologically sustainable manner. General responsibilities forimplementing the Policy are identified in Clause 13 of the SEPP and key responsibilities are identified in Clauses 14 to23. In addition to these broad responsibilities, there are additional clauses in the more focussed schedules and policiesdescribed under the ‘Attainment Program’ sections in their respective documents.
Construction Activities
The main SEPP document states, “Construction works need to managed to minimise land disturbance, soil erosion andthe discharge of sediments and other pollutants to surface waters.” Construction managers are therefore required toimplement effective management practices consistent with guidance from the EPA, including that provided in the currentamended version of Environmental Guidelines for Major Construction Sites (1996), and the current amended version ofConstruction Techniques for Sediment Pollution Control (1991). SEPP also states, where construction activities cross oradjoin surface waters, construction managers are required to monitor affected surface waters to make an assessment asto the protection of the beneficial uses.
Environmental Quality Objectives and Indicators
The main SEPP document states, “surface waters and their aquatic ecosystems need to be free of any substance at anylevel, or human impact, that would pose a risk to beneficial uses.” Although the environmental quality objectives arerequired to be attained as much as practicable, the SEPP requires that the variation of environmental quality of surfacewaters on a State-wide scale will be such that:
1 “the environmental quality of some surface waters will be better than the environmental quality objectives. Inthese cases, environmental quality should remain as close as practicable to background levels”;
2 “the environmental quality objectives for some surface waters may not be attained due to natural variation. Inthese cases, the background level becomes the environmental quality objective.”
Clauses to the same effect also apply under the additional ‘Schedules’ and ‘Policies’ for the specific areas. Based on thisand knowledge of the beneficial uses the environmental quality objectives or targets identified in Appendix A have beendeveloped for these areas. However, given the transfer pipeline is most likely to have a direct influence on suspendedsolids and its associated problems, Table 3 defines the relevant water quality objectives as specified in the SEPP orassociated schedule or policy. In relation to these objectives, all the documents state that if there is no specific value,comment indicating the use of background levels, or justification for the application of the clauses above, theenvironmental quality objective values become those specified in the Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Freshand Marine Water Quality (2000) (The Guidelines).

AUS.FID30132288]Attachments: Environment Victoria submission form - for experts.docx
Dear Expert Witnesses
The IAC has received 3,829 public submissions in relation to the Crib Point LNG Import Facility.
Approximately 2,401 of those submissions appear to be generated by a common website.
The following link contains all 3,829 submissions, grouped into three categories:
• submissions that have been generated with the assistance of the common website (category A);
• submissions which have not been generated with the assistance of the common website (category B); and
• submissions which are a mix of category A and B (category C).
Link to all submissions: https://ashurst.sharefile.com/d-s21633649b0a4b8f8
These have also been placed on the Collaborate portal in the Submissions Folder<Environment Victoria Subfolderhere: https://collaborate.hallandwilcox.com.au/haw/documentHome.action?metaData.siteID=1491&metaData.parentFolderID=24011
We are reviewing the submissions in parallel and will identify those submissions we consider are particularly relevantto your witness statement. However, we would like you to independently consider all submissions which arepotentially relevant to your evidence.
General responses to submissions
For the efficient preparation of your statement and to assist the IAC, you may choose to respond to submissions by addressing the "key themes" raised in the submissions as relevant to your area of expertise. You do not need toidentify how many people raised that theme or which specific submitters referred to the key themes (subject to theagencies/groups identified below).
If there is a particular individual submission that raises a unique issue you should still respond.
We attach a document which extracts the common wording produced by that website. If you read the attached document you will have read and canvassed the propositions in each of those Category A submissions.
If you need our guidance as to how to express or articulate the "key themes", please let us know.
Agency / Group / pipeline landowner submissions
You should provide separate responses to each of the agencies/groups/landowners listed at the bottom of this email,to the extent relevant to your witness statement.
If the agency/group submitter:
• raises concerns that are adequately addressed by your response to the key themes raised by other submitters, you may wish to respond by referring to your responses to the key themes; or
• raises concerns not addressed by a key theme, please address this with a specific response to the keysubmitter's submission.

2. Can you describe why Westernport Bay is important to you? (You can use up to 250 characters)
3. What concerns you the most about the gas import terminal? *
• The impact on the local community.
I thank the Crib Point Inquiry and Advisory Committee and the Minister for Planning for the opportunity to make a submission to the environment assessment of the Crib Point gas import jetty and gas pipeline project. There are a variety of issues which should deem this proposal unacceptable under its current form and that I will point to in my submission but the issue that concerns me most is the impact on the local community.
• The impact on our internationally recognised wetlands and wildlife.

4. How do you think the industrialisation of Westernport Bay will impact people? (If more than one applies, pick the one that most concerns you)
• Recreational impacts: such as impacts to fishing, boating, walking, or other opportunities to enjoy the Bay with family and friends.
The beach and reserve area around Crib Point jetty is a popular spot for residents and visitors alike. Access to the reserve and surrounding areas is likely to be affected by the loss of bush or by disruptions because of maintenance or high noise. The EES notes that there is not a comparable reserve area nearby. The increased number of ships coming into Westernport Bay and the strict exclusion zones will mean boaters or sailors will have more disruptive ship traffic to contend with.

Fishers will enjoy less catch as a result of the impact of increased shipping and toxic chlorination of the important nursery seagrass surrounding the Crib Point jetty.
• Mental health impacts: due to loss of nature, or continual exposure to noise, light and visual pollution.
Natural environments play a crucial role in both the mental and physical health of the communities who access them. The potential loss of nature and access to green spaces can contribute to mental distress and environmental grief experienced by communities who place significance on these areas. This can detrimentally impact on the long-term mental health of a community. Excessive exposure to noise and light pollution in areas of recreation or among households can result in loss of sleep and irritability. As well as increased prevalence of anxiety and a lack of ability to focus. The impacts of noise and light pollution can result in increased prevalence of mental health conditions in a community.
• There is an unacceptable risk of fire, explosion and exposure to toxic hydrocarbons.
A new fossil fuel project like the gas import terminal which AGL is proposing would introduce new risks to the local community and visitors to the area. These risks include exposing people to toxic hydrocarbons which may leak from the facility and increased risk of accidental fire and explosion as noted in EES Technical Report K. The nearest homes to the import facility are about 1.5 kms away and Wooleys Beach is also close to the site. AGL have completed only preliminary quantitative risk assessments on these risks and have deemed the risk acceptable on that basis. It is not acceptable to present preliminary studies and the EES should not continue until we have an independent expert to provide final risk assessments.
5. Do you think this will also impact the local economy through its impact on tourism and recreation activities?
• Yes
Phillip Island is the second most tourism-dependent region in all of Australia. People come to see the little penguins and the migrating Humpback and Southern Right whales as well as other incredible marine and wetland wildlife. The industrialisation of Westernport Bay in the form of huge gas tankers and a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit will undermine the beauty of the area and be inconsistent with the perception that it is a pristine and protected wetland. This could impact Phillip Island as a popular tourist destination.
• No
While I do not think this will impact tourism and recreation significantly it will still undermine decades-long efforts to regenerate Westernport Bay. Westernport Bay has been considered an industrial area in the past but that perception has been steadily shifting. More and more people now regard the Bay as a site of high ecological and recreational importance. The gas import terminal proposal would be a step backwards for this perception and may derail efforts to protect the further enhance the area for the environment and for recreational users.
6. What do you think is the most important reason to protect our wetlands and coastal ecosystems?
• Wetlands are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth.
Wetlands are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth. They combine land and water which allows them to be home to at least 1350 species including migratory birds like the critically endangered Orange-Bellied Parrot. Half of the Westernport Bay wetland is made up of seagrass beds which are a nursery site for prawns and fish. Westernport Bay is also the most significant site for mangroves in Victoria. Mangroves stabilise sediment and protect the shoreline from erosion. The shoreline directly around the Crib Point jetty is an extensive mangrove stand. Wetlands should be protected as a key habitat for an incredible array of plants and animals rather than being subject to potentially damaging projects like this gas import terminal proposed by AGL.

If the project is approved AGL could dump up to 468 million litres of chlorinated water into the Bay each day which could have a disastrous impact on marine wildlife. There is so much we do not know about how this cold chlorinated wastewater will affect marine life in Westernport. The impact modelling completed by AGL is not comprehensive and in some cases totally inappropriate. Furthermore, current Victorian laws prohibit the discharge of wastewater in high conservation value areas like Westernport Bay - clause 22 of the State Environment Protection Policy (Waters). AGL has so far been unsuccessful in their attempts to weaken these laws. Combining the poor impact assessments and the fact that the plan currently does not meet the legal requirements this proposal should not continue.
• Wetlands are crucial to our defence against the climate crisis.
Recent research has shown that wetlands have the potential to capture and store large amounts of carbon for hundreds of years. Wetlands should be protected and enhanced for their role in the fight against climate change rather than being subject to potentially damaging projects like this gas import terminal proposed by AGL. In Victoria we have already bulldozed or drained most of our freshwater wetlands which has contributed to the loss of approximately 35 per cent of wetlands worldwide between 1970-2015. We cannot afford to lose any more as we face the climate crisis.

• Australia has committed to promote the conservation and wise use of wetlands as a signatory of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance.
Australia has committed to promote the conservation and wise use of wetlands as a signatory of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. This is understood as the maintenance of their ecological character and preventing their degradation. It is inappropriate to build and operate a gas import terminal in the middle of one of the most precious environments in Victoria and an internationally significant wetland.

7. We are facing a climate crisis. Which of these arguments do you think is the most powerful against AGL’s proposed gas import terminal?
• To avert the worst impacts of climate change we cannot afford any new fossil fuel projects in Victoria.
Millions of Australians consider climate change not to be a threat in the distant future but a dangerous reality we face right now. We are on track for several degrees Celsius of warming by the end of the century if we do not curb our emissions from fossil fuels. The plummeting costs of renewables and energy storage has rendered fossil fuel projects not only a threat to our environment but also bad business. Corporations like AGL should be investing more in renewables and supporting consumers to move away from gas instead of investing in soon-to-be stranded assets. This proposal to build a gas import terminal is not consistent with what we need to do to create a safe climate.
• Imported gas can be as bad as coal for the planet.

Gas is more carbon polluting than coal if methane leakage throughout the whole gas supply chain is above 3.2 per cent. Recent studies have shown that we have previously underestimated how much methane is released to the atmosphere during gas production. It has been found that onshore gas fields in the United States have levels of leakage of 2-17 per cent. Despite these findings the Australian gas industry and federal government report far lower emission intensities for unconventional gas emissions based on default emissions factors rather than on reliable measurements. Gas is not a climate solution.
• Renewable energy sources and electrification will soon displace our need for gas.
The electricity generation sector will play a key role in the transition away from fossil fuels. Renewable energy has become the cheapest alternative for new power production. This holds true even when renewables are backed with 6 hours of storage to guarantee that renewable energy can be delivered when required according to the Australian Energy Market Operator and CSIRO. The fact that firmed renewables will displace gas is becoming increasingly accepted in the energy markets. This year AEMO adjusted its Victorian GPG annual consumption forecast for the 2014 to 2039 period. They now assume that gas consumption will be dramatically below what was previously thought due to a higher penetration of renewables than previously forecast.
• Wetlands lock in carbon and are one of our best defences against the impacts of climate change.
Wetlands contain a disproportionate amount of the soil carbon on our planet. Wetlands are responsible for storing between 20 and 30 per cent of global soil carbon despite occupying only around 5 and 8 per cent of the surface of the Earth. Protecting wetlands such as Westernport Bay Ramsar site should be a priority to prevent the release of vast quantities of carbon pollution to the atmosphere. This is particularly important as a defense against the impacts of climate change.
• Reducing gas demand across Victoria is a better alternative to AGL’s proposed gas import terminal in Westernport Bay.
The EES submitted by AGL grossly underestimates the potential for reducing our demand for gas in Victoria. Victoria could reduce its gas consumption by between 98 and 113 petajoules by 2030 through using existing technology and targeted economic support according to a recent report written by energy consultants Northmore Gordon. With the right government policies Victoria could meet its energy needs without new gas including new gas fields or gas import terminals like that proposed by AGL for Westernport Bay. These measures will lower energy costs for consumers and reduce emissions under most scenarios. This is the case even when a lot of our electricity is generated by fossil fuels but will become even cheaper and less polluting as more of our electricity is generated through renewables.
8. What do you think is the biggest risk AGL’s proposed project poses to marine wildlife?
• The 1-in-16 risk of vessels striking marine animals over the lifetime of the project.
Large ships like LNG tankers have been recorded as having hit whales and other marine mammals. The EES has grossly underreported the chance of whale strike at 1-in-2500 per year. Using their own figures the actual calculated risk is 1-in-326. This means a 1-in-16 chance over the proposed 20-year lifespan. It is likely that these numbers are conservative because the number of whales observed with injuries consistent with ship strike is higher than the number of strikes reported by shipping operators. The conclusion that a ship strike would have a low consequence to the visiting Southern Right whale population is inconsistent with the Conservation Management Plan for Southern Right whales.
• The impact of noise pollution on marine wildlife including dolphins, whales and seals.
It is concerning to see the lack of credible assessments on how noise would affect marine wildlife. AGL acknowledge in their EES that there have been no baseline studies of the noise in Westernport Bay. They have also not tested the impact of noise in Westernport Bay itself nor the noise produced by a berthed FSRU. Even with these inadequate studies the EES states that underwater sound would elicit behavioural changes in dolphins and mask the communication of whales in the area. The noise

would also deter fish and other marine animals from foraging nearby which would affect the important ecosystem around Crib Point.
• Chlorine impacting marine wildlife.
Small marine organisms which make up the foundations of the ecosystem - like plankton and fish eggs - would be the most impacted by this proposal. Locally they would be unable to escape being pulled into the ship intake and being subjected to chlorine levels far above safe levels. The impact is likely to be significant with nearly half a billion litres of water being drawn into the intakes each day. This enormous quantity of colder chlorinated water would be dumped back into the Bay and disperse with the current thereby further affecting marine wildlife.
Thank you once again for the opportunity to contribute to the environment assessment of the Crib Point gas import jetty and gas pipeline project. As outlined above, the impact on the local community would be unacceptable. There are many other viable, and more suitable, options Victoria can pursue to ensure that we meet our energy needs without exposing the precious wetlands of Westernport Bay, the unique wildlife which depend on this ecosystem, or the local community to any harm.
Sincerely,
