Environment Protection Authority

Declaration of remediation site

(Section 21 of the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997)

Declaration Number 21074; Area Number 3203

The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) declares the following land to be a remediation site under the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 (“the Act”):

1. Land to which this declaration applies ("the site")

The parcels of land to which this declaration applies are listed in the attached table (Table 1).  The area of affected land, including roads, verges and footpaths, is presented in the attached figure (Figure 1).

All of the land is within the City of Botany Bay Local Government Area.

2. Nature of contamination affecting the site:

Groundwater and/or soil on the land to which this declaration applies contains elevated levels of various organic contaminants, including but not limited to volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons and semi-volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons.

3. Nature of harm that the contaminants may cause

The EPA has considered the matters in s.9 of the CLM Act and found that:

·         the groundwater acts as a conduit for the contamination from the land to which this declaration applies to Botany Bay;

·         migration of the contaminated groundwater through and then from the land will continue if appropriate remediation measures are not undertaken;

·         the use of groundwater beneath the land is restricted from any beneficial use due to its contaminated state.

 

The groundwater beneath the land to which this declaration applies is contaminated with substances in such a way as to present a significant risk of harm to human health and the environment.  In particular:

·         the contaminants are toxic (some are classified as known or suspected human carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer); some are also persistent and have the potential to bioaccumulate;

·         dense non-aqueous phase liquids are known to be on part of the land to which the declaration applies and are a continuing source of groundwater contamination;

·         the marine aquatic ecosystem of Penrhyn Estuary and Botany Bay are the ultimate receiving environments for the contamination;

·         Penrhyn Estuary has already been impacted by the contamination and the contamination poses an ongoing and significant risk to this ecosystem;

·         there is potential for harm to be caused to humans from the domestic or commercial use or consumption of and recreating in the contaminated groundwater.

4. Further action under the Act

The party principally responsible for the contamination has been issued with a Notice of Cleanup Action under section 91 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act) (Notice No. 1030236) and two Variations of Notice of Cleanup Action under section 110 of the POEO Act (Notice Nos. 1033107 and 1042957), requiring the remediation of the contaminated groundwater.  The making of this declaration does not prevent the carrying out of a voluntary remediation of the land by any person and any person may submit a voluntary remediation proposal for the site to the EPA.  However, it is the EPA’s intention to issue a remediation order to the party principally responsible for the contamination under the CLM Act. 

5. Submissions invited

The public may make written submissions to the EPA on:

·         Whether the EPA should issue a remediation order in relation to the site; or

·         Any other matter concerning the site.

Submissions should be made in writing to:

Director Contaminated Sites
Department of Environment and Conservation
PO Box A290
SYDNEY SOUTH  NSW  1232

or faxed to 02 9995 5930

by not later than 11 March 2005

NOTE:

Remediation order may follow

If remediation of the site or part of the site is required, the EPA may issue a remediation order under s.23 of the Act.

Variation/Revocation

This declaration may be varied by subsequent declarations.  It remains in force until it is otherwise revoked. A declaration may only be revoked when the EPA does not have reasonable grounds to believe that land is contaminated in such as way as to present a significant risk of harm (s.44 of the Act).

Information recorded by the EPA

Section 58 of the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 requires the EPA to maintain a public record.  A copy of this remediation declaration will be included in the public record.

Information recorded by councils

Section 59 of the Act requires the EPA to give a copy of this declaration to the relevant local council.  The council is then required to note on its planning certificate issued pursuant to s.149 (2) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act that the land is currently within a remediation site.  The EPA is required to notify council as soon as practicable when the declaration is no longer in force and the notation on the s.149 (2) certificate is no longer required.

Relationship to other regulatory instrument

This declaration does not affect the provisions of any relevant environmental planning instruments which apply to the land or provisions of any other environmental protection legislation administered by the EPA.
