The ventilation system for the putrescible wastearea of the transfer terminal building will have a single vent stack thatwill extend to a height of 21 m with a diameter of 2.6 m and bedesigned to have an exit velocity from the stack of 20 m/s to ensurethat the odour emissions from the facility are consistent with the odourcriteria prescribed in the EPA Air Quality Guidelines.Refer toSection 42Plastic strips will be installed on the doorways to help contain odourand dust within the terminal building, which will cover the upper third ofthe opening.Refer toSection 43Containers used for the transport of putrescible waste will be speciallyconstructed and have activated carbon filtration packs fitted to the airexhaust vent on the container.Refer toSectionError!Referencesource notfound. andSection 44An Odour Management Plan will be developed as part of the OEMPand will include a Procedure for Minimising Odour to ensure waste ismanaged to minimise the generation of odours.

The specific goal of the AQMP is to document operational strategiesfor the BTT to minimise: air quality emissions from the site during the operational phase; and potential impact to the closest residential and other sensitive receivers.Sensitive receivers identified in the EIS (Hyder, 2014) and their approximate distancesfrom the BTT are provided in Table 2.1.Table 2.1Potentially Affected Air Quality Sensitive ce fromSite BoundaryHillsdaleResidentialAreaR1 &R2ResidentialResidential suburb, to the east of theProposal site, with closest receiverslocated on the eastern side of DenisonStreet.250-500 sidential suburb, to the east-south-eastof the subject site, with the closestreceivers located along Perry Street atsetback distances of typically 350 m.Mostly 350mPerry StreetResidencesR4ResidentialThree buildings on Perry Street (Nos 20,22 and 24) on industrially zoned land, butwith potential residential uses are locatedcloser at 120-150m from the main Siteentrance.Three receiverswithin rcialCommercial units located to the east ofthe Beauchamp Road site entrance, onthe eastern side of Beauchamp Road.30 m (Approx.)GoodmanBotany BayIndustrialParkC2CommercialCommercial receivers located to thesouth of the McPherson Street siteentrance, on the southern side ofMcPherson Street.30 m (Approx.)TollContainerDepotC3CommercialCommercial receivers located to thesouth-west of the Site, to the west of theexisting freight rail line.65 m (Approx.)OricaSouthlandC4IndustrialIndustrial receivers located to the west ofthe Site, to the west of the existing freightrail line.35 m (Approx.)OricaBotany BayC5IndustrialIndustrial receivers located to the east ofthe Site, beyond the Asciano Botany Site.50 m (Approx.)HillsdaleResidentialAreaR1 &R2ResidentialResidential suburb, to the east of theProposal site, with closest receiverslocated on the eastern side of DenisonStreet.250-500 m(Approx.)Printed documents are uncontrolled versions.

This site measures PM10 concentrations using aTapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM), to determine the likely impact onthe identified sensitive receivers from the particulate matter emissions during theoperational phase of the BTT.The EIS assessment determined that, with the installation of a dust suppressionsystem, dust generated as a result of operations was expected to be negligible duringthe operational stage of the BTT.Based on the NSW EPA Air Quality Impact Assessment Criteria, the air quality goal fordust impacts from particulate matter for the BTT is as presented in Table 2.2.Printed documents are uncontrolled versions.

Potential sources of PM10 particulatesinclude transport, burning, construction, industrial sources and mining,Sources of particulate matter emissions during operation at the BTT are identified inSection 3 of this AQMP. The control measures for these emissions are described inSection 4 of this AQMP.2.2Odour GoalsOdour modelling undertaken for the BTT EIS (Hyder, 2014) indicated that odouremissions from the BTT operational stage would be below the odour emission criteriapresented in Table 2.3. Odour impacts are not predicted to exceed these levels at anyresidential receptor. This outcome will be achieved through the installation of aventilation system within the BTT building that will replace the air within the buildingnine times per hour on a continuous basis.Table 2.3 BTT Air Quality Impact Assessment CriteriaPollutantCriterionOdour2 OUFurther mitigation and management measures to assure the effective control of odour,during operation of the BTT are presented in Section 4 of this AQMP.2.3Roles and ResponsibilitiesResponsibilities for implementation of the AQMP are summarised in Table 2.4 below.Table 2.4 Summary of Responsibilities – AQMPActionResponsibilityTimingOverall implementation of the AQMPFacility Manager andOperational PersonnelOngoingImplement methodology foravoiding excessive air quality emissionsFacility Manager andOperational PersonnelOngoing as per AQMPCoordinate monitoring and compileNSW Technical and EngineeringAs requiredPrinted documents are uncontrolled versions.
