 ASBESTOS (& HAZARDOUS BUILDING MATERIAL) MANAGEMENT PLAN

This Asbestos & Hazardous Building Material Management Plan details prevention and management measures for Asbestos & Hazardous Building Material issues associated with
construction works at the NACC Facilities Project, Williamtown. It defines mitigation measures to be implemented during relevant construction activities in the event that asbestos is
Scope:
located, or potentially affected areas are identified; a monitoring program that enables assessment of the impacts of construction activities on potentially affected areas; and contingency
measures that may be implemented if exceedances are measured.
To identify any asbestos or hazardous building materials in site buildings or structures to be demolished
To properly manage and remove any asbestos or hazardous building materials in encountered during excavation works on site including bulk earthworks, topsoil strip and
trenching / excavation for future services such as stormwater, sewerage, water mains, in ground power and communications.
Objective: To properly store, transport and dispose of all potential asbestos and hazardous building materials to an approved licensed waste facility.
To prevent any impact to air quality or site work areas and adjoining properties via inappropriate handling, removal or disposal of asbestos or other hazardous building materials.
Assess Williamtown Base Hazardous Substance Register to identify potential for exposure to hazardous materials during construction activities.

Historic waste management practices on the Base included burial and covering of a range of waste from construction / demolition materials to surplus military hardware and chemical
drums, as such Unexpected Finds of various types of waste including hazardous materials can be expected across the project footprint.
Given the age and condition of structures be demolished, there is potential for hazardous building materials to exist within the buildings. As the proposed redevelopment will include the
demolition of these buildings and disposal of materials, safe work measures need to be implemented to ensure that environmental (PCBs and lead) and human health risks are
appropriately minimised and managed during this process.

Asbestos
Asbestos was commonly used as an acoustic insulator, brake pads (i.e. lifts), thermal insulation (i.e. pipes and cables), fire proofing (i.e. steel beams) and in building materials such as
ceiling tiles or wall panels, pipes, floor tiles, linoleum and mastic. Asbestos is made up of microscopic bundles of fibres that may become airborne when distributed. These fibres may
become inhaled into the lungs with significant potential risks to human health.
Risks:
Other key hazardous building products
These include fluorescent light fittings with capacitors containing PCBs and building materials coated with lead-based paints. Both of these materials pose significant potential risks to the
environment and human health if removed, handled and/or disposed inappropriately.

See Appendix B for the Hazardous Materials Register

Hazardous Material risks Identified in the buildings to be demolished by the NACC Project include:
A Hazardous materials inspection of the 12 Explosive Ordinance preparations buildings are to be demolished identified:
Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) within the following structures, Buildings 307, 304, 300, 317, 287, 305, 308, 319, 320

 Unexpected find protocol
If suspected toxic or hazardous materials are discovered / exposed during construction/demolition activities in an area of the site believed to be free of clean of hazardous materials, the
following protocol must be followed:
1. Cease work and evacuate the area of work immediately.
2. Contact a LLB representative (EHS coordinator, General Foreman, Construction Manager)
3. Erect barricades to isolate the immediate areas, with 10m between the suspect material and the erected barrier if possible.
4. The appropriate regulatory authorities including the Clients Contract Administrator should be notified as soon as possible if applicable.
5. No person shall enter the barricaded area unless expressly permitted by the qualified environmental specialist. A clearance certificate or approval should be given in
writing prior to entry.
6. Sampling of the suspect material is to be carried out by an appropriately qualified environmental specialist / occupational hygienist (usually a consultant) as advised by the
LLB construction manager. Air monitoring to be carried out by the Hygienist during sampling.
7. The nominated Environmental Specialist (in liaison with LLB senior site personnel and/or relevant authorities) will produce an Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) for the
asbestos material, describing proposed remedial actions, based on the sample test results and will nominate appropriate treatment / handling or disposal options and
procedures,
8. All permits to carry out remedial work are to be obtained, and required notifications made, prior to the commencement of any new works and the nominated Environmental
Specialist must provide written clearance approval.
9. The barricade may then be removed and work activities may resume under the direction of the LLB Construction Manager.
All controls are to comply to the LL Physical GMR 8.6

VERSION 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Lend Lease has engaged Environmental Earth Sciences NSW to prepare an asbestos
management plan (AMP) to provide guidance on the control and management of asbestos
containing materials (ACMs) identified on the surface or within soils associated with the New
Air Combat Capability (NACC) construction works, at RAAF Williamtown, NSW (the site).
Please note that this does not relate to asbestos containing materials within structures and
buildings at the site. A plan detailing the site location is presented on Figure 1.

Previous investigations with regard to asbestos have identified some non-friable fibre cement
sheeting and in some instances soils beneath the identified fibre cement sheeting was
sampled and found to contain asbestos considered to be friable.

The scope of the AMP is to address the appropriate handling of asbestos that may exist on
the soil surface or within soil at shallow depths (considered to be up to approximately 3
metres below ground level (mbgl)).

Please note: If any material is encountered that is deemed friable asbestos a contractor with
a friable asbestos removal licence (Class A) will be required. Comcare and WorkCover NSW
notification is mandatory for the removal of any quantity of friable asbestos material. All
relevant permits (including from WorkCover) must be obtained by the licensed removalist
prior to work commencing.

It should be noted that in the event that additional finds of a similar nature are found in the
immediate vicinity and common sense dictates that the material is identical to that which has
already been identified, the material should be managed under this AMP in accordance with
the previous asbestos find.

This AMP has been prepared in general accordance with the following relevant legislation,
codes of practice and guidelines:
National Environment Protection Council (NEPC) (1999) National Environment
Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure (Amended 2013);
DSRG (2014) Asbestos Management Plan for Defence Estate 2014;

NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation, 2011.

This AMP details the known existing conditions at the site, guidance for management
measures/procedures, roles and responsibilities and emergency procedures in the event of
unexpected finds.

1 INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this asbestos management plan (AMP) is to provide guidance on the control
and management of asbestos containing materials (ACMs) identified on the surface or within
soils associated with the New Air Combat Capability (NACC) construction works, at RAAF
Williamtown, NSW (the site). A plan detailing the site location is presented on Figure 1.

The scope of the AMP is to address the appropriate handling of any identified asbestos or
suspected asbestos that may exist on the soil surface or within soil at shallow depths
(considered to be up to approximately 3 metres below ground level (mbgl). It is understood
that asbestos containing materials (ACMs) have been observed intermittently across the
NACC development area (Figure 2), and these have been documented in previous
unexpected findings reports and AMPs (Section 4). In brief, ACMs identified to date have
included non-friable fragments and in some instances friable material within soils. It should
be noted that the degradation of non-friable forms of asbestos is likely to have led to friable
asbestos forms detected within soils.

A copy of the AMP should be provided to site workers or occupants who may disturb the site
during future site activities.

This plan may need to be reviewed, potentially revised and re-issued as changes to the site
conditions occur. This ensures the AMP remains relevant to the site and provides assurance
to all stakeholders and the community that all asbestos issues are addressed adequately.

The objective of the AMP will be to ensure safety of site occupants, workers and the public.

Asbestos is the term given for a number of naturally occurring fibrous silicate minerals
(SafeWork, 2011). The condition of asbestos is subdivided into two groups;
bonded/ non-friable asbestos (bonded ACM [NEPC, 2013]0; and
Non-bonded/ friable (fibrous and asbestos fines [NEPC, 2013]).

Non- friable asbestos has been defined as any material that contains asbestos in a bonded
matrix (SafeWork, 2011a).

Friable asbestos has been defined as any material that contains asbestos and is in the form
of a powder, or can be crumbled, pulverised or reduced to a powder by hand pressure when
dry (SafeWork, 2011a).

4 EXISTING CONDITIONS
Previous asbestos assessments across the site have identified asbestos containing material
in soils in non-friable and friable forms. Fragments of non-friable asbestos have also been
identified on the soil surface around the site.

The areas of identified ACMs at the time of this document are illustrated on Figure 2. Please
refer to the following documents for further information:

Based on these reports, the following scenarios for occurrence of asbestos have been
developed and are applicable under this AMP;
friable asbestos in soils;

115042_Sitewide_AMP V1 2
 non- friable asbestos in soils; and
non-friable asbestos fragments identified on the soil surface.

5 FURTHER DELINEATION OF ASBESTOS IN SOIL

When asbestos in soil is found to impact an area it may be appropriate to consider
undertaking further assessment in the vicinity of the asbestos find to determine actual
asbestos extent to apply the appropriate management measures. Dependent on specific
information of a particular find such as extent and severity, this will dictate the appropriate
and suitable level of assessment which should be considered. Further assessments which
could be undertaken include:
a detailed site investigation in accordance with NEPC (2013); and
Limited assessment such as a surface inspection in combination with surface soil
sampling.

Please note: If any material is encountered that is deemed friable asbestos a contractor with
a friable asbestos removal licence (Class A) will be required. Comcare and WorkCover NSW
notification is mandatory for the removal of any quantity of friable asbestos material. All
relevant permits (including from WorkCover) must be obtained by the licensed removalist
prior to work commencing.

6 MANAGEMENT MEASURES/PROCEDURES
Based on previous identification of asbestos upon the soil surface or within soils the following
management procedure has been established:
potential ACM identified;
unexpected findings protocol implemented; and
follow Table 1.

6.1 Personal protective equipment

In general, along with standard measures of PPE required for working on defence sites, the
following Stage 1, 2 and 3 PPE measures will be applicable with regard to asbestos.

Any personnel within asbestos work removal areas are to be equipped with adequate
personal protective equipment (PPE). For this site, protective clothing will include but not be
limited to the following:
steel capped boots;
hard-hat;
high visibility vest;
safety glasses;
gloves; and
hearing protection.

Stage 1 PPE Measures

the items listed above plus P2 filter mask.

Stage 2 PPE Measures

the items listed above plus P2 filter mask;

115042_Sitewide_AMP V1 4
 disposable gloves; and
disposable coveralls (type 5/6) suitable for asbestos removal or similar to be used as
required.

It is noted that all PPE must also meet Lend Lease and RAAF requirements.

If, after a suitable period of time, the occupational hygienist or environmental consultant is
satisfied that the risk of encountering asbestos materials during the works has been
sufficiently reduced (based on visual observations) the need for Stage 2 PPE measures may
be reconsidered.

Stage 3 PPE Measures

the items listed above as within Stage 1 and 2 PPE measures;
disposable gloves;
half face respirator;
boot covers;
disposable coveralls; and
wet decontamination.

If, after a suitable period of time, the occupational hygienist or environmental consultant is
satisfied that the risk of encountering friable asbestos materials during the works has been
sufficiently reduced (based on visual observations and validation testing) the need for stage
3 PPE measures may be reconsidered.

Suitable decontamination procedures should be employed for individuals to decontaminate

prior to exiting the work area under Stage 3 PPE measures.

6.2 Exclusion zone

In areas where Stage 2 and 3 PPE measures require implementation, an exclusion zone is to
be set up (via temporary fencing) surrounding the works area. This is considered to be
responsibility of the licensed contractor. The exclusion zone should encompass a clearly
delineated area to prevent unauthorised access to the area with appropriate signage erected.

The exclusion zone should contain an access point. Adjacent or near this entry point
suitable disposal bins will be established such that personal protective equipment can be
disposed prior to exiting the exclusion zone. Under stage 3 PPE measures, a
decontamination station should also be set up adjacent or near the entry point.

6.2.1 Plant and machinery

When machinery is utilised for excavation of soil within the exclusion zone, suitable
protection such as filters for cab are required. Detail on specific friable asbestos removal
controls is required to be included within an asbestos removal control plan prepared by the
asbestos removal contractor. It may be necessary to consider a machinery parking area
within the exclusion zone.

Plant or machinery exiting the exclusion zone will be decontaminated prior to exit.

115042_Sitewide_AMP V1 5
6.2.2 Other activities lunch/phone calls
With regard to consideration of other activities such as taking of phone calls or consumption
of food, personnel must exit the exclusion zone adhering to decontamination activities prior
to undertaking the activity.

6.3 Excavated soils, stockpiling and disposal

Potential asbestos contaminated soil upon excavation will be segregated into four categories:
large fragments (>1 cm2) of non-friable asbestos, e.g. fibre cement sheeting;
soil in contact with friable asbestos;
soil in contact with the non-friable asbestos; and
soil observed to be free of asbestos.

Large fragments of non-friable asbestos material such as fibre cement sheeting should be
handpicked, placed within storage bags and double bagged such that ACM is suitably stored.
It should be noted where >10 m2 of non-friable asbestos (i.e. fibres bound in a matrix) is to
be removed then the work must be undertaken by a contractor licensed by WorkCover NSW
to remove non-friable asbestos (Class A or Class B). An application to WorkCover NSW is
also required for the removal of >10 m2 of non-friable asbestos material.

Soil material observed to be in contact with either non-friable or friable asbestos fragments
will be stockpiled and covered, to minimise cross contamination and environmental impacts
on other soil. The stockpile should be covered with HDPE plastic, geofabric or similar type
material to prevent dust blow-off. For soil material underlying the stockpiled material. a
scrape of the stockpile footprint will be required. NOTE: Any covering must be strongly
secured in accordance with specific site protocols.

Soil observed to be free of asbestos can be placed into stockpiles as per normal practice.
The number of stockpiles should be minimised such that trip/fall hazards are minimised, and
do not generate excessive dust.

Following completion of works, all stockpiles may require soil sampling for asbestos and
other potential chemicals of concern to determine appropriate waste classification for off-site
disposal purposes.

6.4 Material mixed with other contaminants

Other identified chemicals of concern have been identified at the site and these are listed in
Environmental Earth Sciences NSW (2015g). Of particular note in relation to this AMP is the
presence of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), namely perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)
and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). These have been encountered in low concentrations
within soils tested (i.e. below adopted site criteria).

Any material found to be containing these compounds cannot be taken offsite without prior
approval by Lend Lease and the Department of Defence as waste classification guidelines
do not include disposal threshold for these.

115042_Sitewide_AMP V1 6
6.5 Supervision of excavations
During asbestos removal works a competent and appropriately experienced environmental
consultant and/or occupational hygienist should be appointed to oversee the works. This will
include the identification of potential ACM and advice for separating the excavated materials
appropriately.

During asbestos removal works if validation sampling is required (such as under a friable
asbestos removal scenario) an environmental consultant should be engaged to undertake
the validation sampling.

When engagement of a Class A Asbestos Removalist licensed by WorkCover is necessary,

upon engagement, a scope of works should be determined and the removal contractor is to
prepare an asbestos removal control plan. The licensed asbestos removalist must ensure
that the nominated supervisor is present at the site for the removal of any friable asbestos.
The works should be supervised by the licensed contractor in accordance with this Asbestos
Management Plan and their own asbestos removal control plan. All staff involved in the
removal must be suitably qualified to undertake removal works.

6.6 Dust generation

During asbestos removal works within soils, to minimise the potential for fibres to be liberated
from the soil, the soil surface must be wetted down or suitably covered. This includes during
excavation works and for generated stockpiles. During excavation a water-cart or similar
may be used to suppress dust. Over periods of weekends it is envisaged stockpiled material
could be covered with geofabric or similar material.

The use of a vacuum truck may be viable in certain scenarios (non-friable ACM in soil) where
the risk of friable fibre generation is deemed minimal. In any case, consideration of
appropriate waste disposal needs to be undertaken.

6.7 Air monitoring

An occupational hygienist will be appointed during asbestos removal works to carry out
regular air monitoring of the workplace and surrounding areas in accordance with the
Guidance Note on the Membrane Filter Method for Estimating Airborne Asbestos Dust
[NOHSC:3003(2005)] 2nd Edition including but not limited to:
air monitoring at the commencement of work involving excavation and handling of
potentially asbestos contaminated soil on the site;
air monitoring continuously in areas related to asbestos removal works; and
air monitoring for clearance following removal of asbestos or ACM.

Air-monitoring results are to remain below the control levels in designated areas and
monitored by an occupational hygienist. The designated control levels to be adopted are
outlined in the table below. Results are to be reported within 24 hours of sampling and made
available to the site workers undertaking this work.

115042_Sitewide_AMP V1 7
TABLE 2 CONTROL LEVELS FOR AIRBORNE ASBESTOS FIBRES

Control level (airborne fibres/ml) Control action required

<0.01 Continue with control measures
>0.01 Review control measures
Stop removal works, notify WorkCover and identify
>0.02
cause

Under current national and state regulations, the licensed asbestos removalist must notify
WorkCover NSW immediately when and if any respirable asbestos fibres are recorded at an
asbestos removal area that are more than 0.02 fibres/ml.

An area is cleared when the level of airborne asbestos fibres is measured as being below
0.01 fibres/ml.

6.8 Asbestos Clearance Inspections

6.8.1 Friable
Following friable asbestos removal works, an occupational hygienist will undertake a visual
inspection of the site area and undertake clearance air monitoring for the area comprising the
asbestos removal.

6.8.2 Non-friable
Following non-friable asbestos removal, provided air monitoring undertaken during asbestos
removal works has resulted in detections below the accepted level, the asbestos clearance
can be limited to a visual inspection only.

A brief letter documenting the clearance inspection should be provided detailing the results of
air monitoring and/or soil sampling as a record of that the area being cleared.

6.9 Accidents/ incidents/ near miss reports

All accidents, incidents and near misses must be reported to the Site Representative, who
will inform Lend Lease and the Department of Defence (DoD), where appropriate. Every
incident must be investigated and measures implemented to ensure similar situations do not
occur again.

A WorkCover incident notification form must be completed where there is an incident that
results in death or serious injury or any other serious incident that had the potential to cause
serious injury or death.

Failure to notify WorkCover may result in prosecution.

6.10 Emergency response plan

Emergency procedures cover the actions of staff and sub-contractors on site when major
events occur. This should be covered in the asbestos control plan.

115042_Sitewide_AMP V1 8
A major event may include release of asbestos fibres into the air during excavation works.
This may occur through the breaking of asbestos cement sheeting.

It is noted that other emergency events may occur during works, such as fuel spills, fires,
explosions, vehicle/ plant accidents and damage to services. It is outside the scope of this
AMP to outline emergency procedures for these, however it is prudent to consider all
potential emergencies when undertaking excavation works. These should be outlined in
specific safe work method statements.

The first priority must always be the safety of any persons either workers or others involved
in the event. A plan providing clear directions to the nearest hospital with accident and
emergency facilities must be displayed on site along with the numbers and contact names for
the following:
Fire, Police, Ambulance;
Local Fire Brigade;
WorkCover;
Site Representative;
Works Manager;
Environmental Scientist/Occupational Hygienist;
First Aid Officers;
Gas, Water, Electricity;
Poisons;
Doctor; and
Hospital (address details and directions).

Specific emergency procedures for dealing with asbestos should be developed in an

asbestos control plan and should include (but not be limited to):
identifying the emergency and safely raising the alarm;
implementing evacuation procedures as necessary;
minimise the risk of exposure of workers in the vicinity of the emergency;
providing written notification to WorkCover NSW immediately after the emergency and
prior to further work being undertaken.

6.11 Residual risk management

Where potential asbestos containing material is left in place the following management
practices will be required to control residual risk:
the asbestos location will be recorded in the Base Contaminated Site Register (CSR),
enabling further works in this area to be informed of the potential for asbestos
contamination;
it is understood where soil can remain in place and be encapsulated this represents the
most suitable management option as affected soil is at no time presenting a risk of fibre
generation. A risk assessment may be required to ensure encapsulation protects site
occupants and the public; and,

115042_Sitewide_AMP V1 9
 develop a management plan for the area in accordance with DSRG Asbestos
management Plan.

7 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
In the event of asbestos finds which are managed under this AMP, a letter or other
documentation is required to detail the results of air monitoring and/or soil sampling works
associated with the find.

Where an asbestos removal is undertaken a letter may also be required to detail results of
validation sampling which may be necessary to document asbestos removal works.

8 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

8.1 Site representative

The site representative has the following particular responsibilities under this AMP:
implementation of this AMP by the following measures:
o acknowledge that the AMP is an important document in the management of
potentially contaminated soil and in the reduction of risk to potential site beneficial
users;
o provide this AMP to site visitors and/or sub-contractors;
o review construction plans and method statements as required, to check that
adequate asbestos management measures are incorporated into the planning of

and
not undertake any works (without the permission of the site representative) which may
cause potential asbestos contamination to be disturbed.

115042_Sitewide_AMP V1 10
8.3 Subcontractors
All subcontractors and suppliers will be required to attend inductions where specific
environmental issues are addressed if deemed appropriate. They will be made aware of
their requirements to adhere to the AMP in the induction program.

All staff involved in the removal must be suitably qualified to undertake removal works.

9 TRAINING/INDUCTION
Prior to commencement of any works in the vicinity of the site relevant parties will be
required to undergo induction for the site. During the induction the AMP should be provided
such that the existence and awareness is noted, along with location it is kept at the site for
future reference. Once provided, a training log should be maintained detailing
individuals/subcontractors working under the AMP.

Scope of services
The work presented in this report is Environmental Earth Sciences response to the specific scope of works
requested by, planned with and approved by the client. It cannot be relied on by any other third party for any
purpose except with our prior written consent. Client may distribute this report to other parties and in doing so
warrants that the report is suitable for the purpose it was intended for. However, any party wishing to rely on this
report should contact us to determine the suitability of this report for their specific purpose.

Data should not be separated from the report

A report is provided inclusive of all documentation sections, limitations, tables, figures and appendices and should
not be provided or copied in part without all supporting documentation for any reason, because misinterpretation
may occur.

Subsurface conditions change

Understanding an environmental study will reduce exposure to the risk of the presence of contaminated soil and
or groundwater. However, contaminants may be present in areas that were not investigated, or may migrate to
other areas. Analysis cannot cover every type of contaminant that could possibly be present. When combined
with field observations, field measurements and professional judgement, this approach increases the probability
of identifying contaminated soil and or groundwater. Under no circumstances can it be considered that these
findings represent the actual condition of the site at all points.

Environmental studies identify actual sub-surface conditions only at those points where samples are taken, when
they are taken. Actual conditions between sampling locations differ from those inferred because no professional,
no matter how qualified, and no sub-surface exploration program, no matter how comprehensive, can reveal what
is hidden below the ground surface. The actual interface between materials may be far more gradual or abrupt
than an assessment indicates. Actual conditions in areas not sampled may differ from that predicted. Nothing
can be done to prevent the unanticipated. However, steps can be taken to help minimize the impact. For this
reason, site owners should retain our services.

Problems with interpretation by others

Advice and interpretation is provided on the basis that subsequent work will be undertaken by Environmental
Earth Sciences NSW. This will identify variances, maintain consistency in how data is interpreted, conduct
additional tests that may be necessary and recommend solutions to problems encountered on site. Other parties
may misinterpret our work and we cannot be responsible for how the information in this report is used. If further
data is collected or comes to light we reserve the right to alter their conclusions.

Obtain regulatory approval

The investigation and remediation of contaminated sites is a field in which legislation and interpretation of
legislation is changing rapidly. Our interpretation of the investigation findings should not be taken to be that of
any other party. When approval from a statutory authority is required for a project, that approval should be
directly sought by the client.

Limit of liability
This study has been carried out to a particular scope of works at a specified site and should not be used for any
other purpose. This report is provided on the condition that Environmental Earth Sciences NSW disclaims all
liability to any person or entity other than the client in respect of anything done or omitted to be done and of the
consequence of anything done or omitted to be done by any such person in reliance, whether in whole or in part,
on the contents of this report. Furthermore, Environmental Earth Sciences NSW disclaims all liability in respect of
anything done or omitted to be done and of the consequence of anything done or omitted to be done by the client,
or any such person in reliance, whether in whole or any part of the contents of this report of all matters not stated
in the brief outlined in Environmental Earth Sciences NSWs proposal number and according to Environmental
Earth Sciences general terms and conditions and special terms and conditions for contaminated sites.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability of whatever nature, whether in contract, tort or
otherwise, for the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise for any loss or damage whatsoever
that may arise in any way in connection with the supply of services. Under circumstances where liability cannot
be excluded, such liability is limited to the value of the purchased service.
