Kings Park Waste Facility

We are a large warehouse located in Melissa Place Kings Park,

We are located directly behind Kings Park Waste Metal Recycling Facility in Tattersall rd.

At Present we have approx 20-30 Heavy Vehicles Doubled parked in our street Queuing to gain access into the Metal Recycling Facility for hours on end.

At times we even have problems accessing our driveway with our own vehicles.

There is no traffic management system whatsoever that I am aware of being used by the Kings Park Waste Metal Recycling Facility.

The Kings Park Waste Metal Recycling Facility is greatly impacting on Tattersall Rd and Melissa Place through Trucks using these roads as parking stations and thoroughfares.

Any Increase would greatly affect our area further making it impossible to conduct business ie receiving and sending Freight via road transport etc etc.

We strongly oppose Expansion.

Further this area is part of a re-zoning to light industrial the expansion is a complete contradiction to Local Govt plans.

Dear Mr Hall

Our business, Power Plastics is located at 71 - 77 Tattersall Road, Kings Park approximately 100m to the west of the Sell and Parker business.
We are a plastics manufacturing business producing containers for the food, pharmaceutical, household and industrial markets.
It is important for the products we produce that we maintain a clean and dust free environment.

For many years we have been affected by the operations of the Sell and Parker business however as they were here before we arrived we have not complained.

We now note that they have submitted a DA to expand their site to which we are strongly opposed for the reasons below.

1. Insufficient parking on the existing Sell and Parker site. Trucks park along the front of our building (often illegally) causing a traffic hazard.
2. The traffic lights at the end of the street at Sunnyholt Road cannot cope with the current traffic loads due to the heavily loaded trucks that cause long delays leaving Tattersall Road via Sunnyholt Rd.
3. The road is constantly covered in metal debris from poorly covered trucks.
4. The road is constantly covered in mud and dirt from the site which turns into dust which blows into our site.
5. It is dangerous using the sidewalk due to poor vision of trucks coming and going from the site.
6. Trucks block the road when the line of trucks come from the site out onto the street.
7. The road is badly damaged and pot holed due to the high truck traffic.
8. While waiting drivers regularly carry out repairs to their trucks out on the street leaving oil and debris behind.
9. Their process oozes smoke, dust and odours on a regular basis.
10. We have equipment that is sensitive to power supply interruptions. We suspect regular interruptions to our supply are caused by huge immediate power demands by their process.

Over the years we have been subjected to loud explosions from the site. These explosions shake our windows and are frightening when they occur. Debris has also been blown from the site during these explosions although the frequency of the explosions has reduced.

We also draw your attention to the recent changes to the LEP that has deemed this area as moving to light industrial in the future.
An approval of the DA would totally go against this adopted LEP.

While Sell and Parker have been located in Tattersall Road for many years it is now very obvious that the area has developed and a heavy industrial business such as theirs is out of place.
In our opinion, to allow them to expand this business would be a poor decision.

Dear Mr Cheong

Kings Park Waste Metal Recovery, Processing and Recycling Facility (SSD_5041)
Comment on the Further Response to Submissions Report


I refer to your email to DPI Water dated 3 July 2015 to the Department of Primary Industries in respect to the above matter.

Comment by DPI Water
The Department of Primary Industries, Water (DPI Water) has reviewed the Further Response to Submissions (RTS) and provides comments at Attachment A and Recommended Conditions of Approval at Attachment B.
DPI Water reiterates comments provided previously in response to the EIS and the Response to Submissions Report.

Should you require further information please contact Janne Grose on (02) 8838 7505 at the Parramatta office.

Comment on the Further Response to Submissions Report
Comment by DPI Water _____________________________________________________________________________

DPI Water has reviewed the Further Response to Submissions (RTS) and provides the following comments:

Breakfast Creek and Riparian Land
The Stormwater Management Plan (SMP) (dated June 2015) includes a Proposed Site Layout (Figure 2) at Annex A. The figure includes no details on the riparian corridor along Breakfast Creek at the site. The Proposed Site Layout needs to be amended to show the riparian corridor width that is required to be rehabilitated at the site.

The SMP notes Blacktown Council's management plan includes a programme of improvement measures for Breakfast Creek, including enhancing vegetation corridors (see Section 3.1.1, page 12). Where riparian land is located on the site, however, the proponent needs to protect and rehabilitate the riparian corridor as part of SSD-5041. DPI Water has previously recommended details be provided on the riparian corridor. In its submission on the EIS, DPI Water raised the following:
* the Landscape Plan (Annex N) does not locate the riparian corridor footprint within the site boundary and recommended the Landscape Plan is amended to the show:
the location of Breakfast Creek;
the location of the top of bank;
the footprint of the riparian corridor (measured from the top of bank) within the site; and
the riparian corridor to be planted with native plant species from relevant local vegetation community, including trees, shrubs and groundcover species.


According to the Development Consent for the Metal Recycling Facility (dated 27 November 1996) there is meant to be an existing dense screen of riparian vegetation established at the site. Condition of Approval 11(D) of the development consent requires there to be a minimum of 50 m distance from the top of the existing Breakfast Creek bank to the truck ring road and proposed irrigation pumping shed. The condition requires "this 50 m distance to be heavily landscaped". Condition of Approval 11(E) outlines the "landscaping is to include suitable species (including ground cover, shrubs and trees) which at maturity will provide a dense screen of vegetation". Clarification is required as to whether the vegetated riparian corridor width at the site is meant to be consistent with the Development Consent for the metal recycling facility.

If the SSD is approved, it is recommended conditions of approval are included in relation to the riparian corridor, including a condition which specifies the minimum riparian corridor width required to be established along Breakfast Creek at the site. A Vegetation Management Plan needs to be prepared for the site which provides details on the rehabilitation of the riparian corridor at the site.

Groundwater
The SMP notes the existing stormwater basin at the site is to be deepened and `relined if necessary' and it is to be provided with concrete banking (Section 1.3.1, page 5). It also indicates the basin is to be a concrete lined tank (Section 4.3.3, page 31). DPI Water recommends the basin is lined.

The SMP indicates the basin is to be excavated to a base level of 37.5 m AHD and it will be designed to be above the water table (Section 4.3.3, page 31). It notes the shallowest aquifer would be approximately two metres below ground level (Section 6.3, page 44). Details need to be provided on how far below the ground level the basin will be.

There needs to be a more comprehensive review of the groundwater situation in relation to the stormwater basin, and this needs to include a hydrogeological section showing the imposed basin and the monitoring data. Should the proposal intercept the groundwater table, the DPI Water needs to be consulted.

Conditions of Approval - DPI Water
__________________________________________________________________________
A riparian zone in accordance with DPI Water's Guidelines for Controlled Activities on Waterfront Land (2012) shall be established and maintained along Breakfast Creek on the site, for its entirety within the site.

2. The extent of the riparian zone is to be measured horizontally landward from top of bank of the watercourse and the width is to be consistent with the Development Consent for the Metal Recycling Facility (dated 27 November 1996).
[Note this condition needs to specify the minimum riparian corridor width that is required to be established along Breakfast Creek at the site. The condition needs to clarify if the riparian corridor width is meant to be consistent with the Development Consent for the metal recycling facility (dated 27 November 1996)].
Works and disturbance areas associated with the proposal must not damage or degrade the riparian zone.
A permanent physical barrier, (such as bollards, logs, a fence, pathway, road etc), to prevent inadvertent damage to the riparian zone is to be placed at the landward extent of the riparian zone.
The Proponent shall prepare and implement a Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) for the protection and rehabilitation of riparian land at the site. The VMP is to be consistent with the Department of Primary Industries - Water (2012) Guidelines for vegetation management plans on waterfront land and include but not necessarily be limited to:
the location of the top of bank; the riparian corridor width (measured from top of bank); the location of any existing native riparian vegetation to be protected and the areas to be restored, including detailed scaled diagrams/maps;
(ii) mitigation measures to be implemented to avoid, protect and/or minimise potential impacts on riparian vegetation;
(iii) strategies to progressively rehabilitate/ regenerate/revegetate riparian vegetation, including vegetation species composition, planting layout and densities; seed or plant sources
(iv) a monitoring and maintenance program. The program shall include:
details on the monitoring locations;
performance indicators;
details on the responsibilities, timing and duration of monitoring;
contingencies where rehabilitation of vegetation fails;
