EIS information guideline — Waste management

The waste management information requirements of an EIS include the following:

 identify, quantify and describe waste sources associated with construction, operation and decommissioning of
the project
 describe operational handling, storage and fate of all wastes including solid wastes, general waste, building
waste, regulated waste, hazardous waste, trade wastes and liquid wastes
 review cleaner production opportunities and detail realistic strategies for avoidance, minimisation
 reuse/recovery and treatment to minimise the impacts of waste generation and disposal
 account for potential level of residual impact on environmental and community values and pests
 consider the cumulative impacts of the wastes that would be generated by the development.

Waste generation
This section should describe the sources of waste generation and quantify likely volumes and characteristics to
evaluate the efficiency of resources used and appropriateness of proposed management measures. The waste
streams generated from the construction and operation phase of the project can be quantified and characterised on
the basis of preliminary planning and design documentation. The information required in this section should include
but not necessarily be limited to the following:
 develop a waste inventory of the proposed site for all potential sources and estimate the expected total volumes
of each waste produced and present the results for the following items in terms of per-unit volume of product
likely to be produced:
o tonnage of raw materials processed
o amount of resulting process wastes
o volume and tonnage of any re-usable by-products.
 menyediakan diagram skematik, yang untuk tahap operasional dapat disederhanakan versi yang disediakan
untuk setiap tahap yang berbeda dari proyek. diagram ini harus menunjukkan proses yang akan digunakan.
Sorot mereka aliran limbah terkait.
 pendekatan ini berlaku untuk semua output-limbah padat, cair dan gas-termasuk upaya daur ulang seperti
penimbunan dan menggunakan kembali tanah lapisan atas
 diagram skematik, atau tabel yang terkait, harus referensi silang bagian yang relevan dari EIS mana potensi
dampak dan langkah-langkah mitigasi yang terkait dengan setiap aliran limbah dijelaskan
 menggambarkan karakteristik fisik dan kimia, dan variabilitas tingkat komposisi dan generasi masing-masing
bahan limbah, termasuk perubahan dari waktu ke waktu dan di bawah kondisi iklim yang berbeda dari
parameter kualitas air di bendungan yang berisi air yang terkena dampak tambang
 the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) database can be used for the estimation of substances being emitted to
air, land and water from the project.

Waste management
The section on waste management should assess how the proposed methods for waste management at each
stage of the project achieve the highest possible level of waste management with regard to first avoiding the
production of waste, then reusing or recycling waste, with disposal as the last option. The waste management
strategies which include waste minimisation (including waste segregation for reuse or recycling), cleaner
production and appropriate waste disposal must be adopted for the project.
Having regard for best practice waste management strategies, the waste provisions in the Environmental
Protection Act 1994, the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011 and associated regulations, the proposals for
waste avoidance, reuse, recycling, treatment and disposal must be described in the EIS. Describe how the project
would achieve natural resource use efficiency (such as minimum use of energy and water, and minimum footprint
on used land), integrated processing design, co-generation of power and by-product reuse as shown in a
material/energy flow analysis. This information would enable the assessment agencies to assess the efficiency of
resource use and allocation issues.

Assess whether the proposed design and methods of disposal would minimise the potential hazards and risks,
particularly in relation to the potential impacts of failure caused by mass release from structural failure or
contaminant release from overflow.
Assess whether the proposed design maximises site efficiency, such as by minimising the footprint.

produce a stable deposit. Discuss the containment systems proposed for intercepting and storing the bleed water,
runoff, and leachate from co-disposal systems. Provide details about the concentrations of expected contaminants

take, illustrated on contour maps, and provide an overview of the potentially affected receiving environment with
particular regard to downstream sensitive ecosystems or users of receiving waters. Discharge should be taken to

pembakaran spontan limbah

 EIS informasi pedoman - Pengelolaan sampah

Coal mining produces large qualities of carbonaceous waste material that may be disposed of around the mine
site. The coarse rejects and fine tailings materials are the uneconomic products of coal handling and processing
activities. This material may be sufficiently reactive to begin self-heating which can ultimately lead to spontaneous
combustion in the spoil piles. In general, the reactivity of a material depends on its carbon content. Spontaneous
combustion is mainly caused by the oxidation of carbonaceous material. The oxidation process releases heat. If
heat generated by this reaction is trapped, such as in a spoil pile, the temperature of the material will begin to rise
and if unchecked may ultimately ignite. Large amounts of reactive carbonaceous material in the waste material
increase the risk of spontaneous combustion.

 menggambarkan kualitas dan kuantitas bahan karbon di aliran limbah
 mendiskusikan potensi pembakaran spontan untuk daerah stockpile batubara limbah
 membahas langkah-langkah pencegahan dan pengendalian diadopsi untuk pembakaran spontan
 mengidentifikasi pelepasan gas beracun dan bau gangguan yang berhubungan dengan pembakaran spontan
 menggambarkan kemungkinan dampak insiden pembakaran spontan pada lingkungan penerima.
