I am the resident in West Hoxton. I strongly opposite the propose of
nulon motor oils facility which build closing to the residential area.
This is not only impact the environment and my whole family health. It
will also affect my house market price dropping. Who should take the
responsibility to this worst consequence? This should not be approval.
Please make consideration deeply and please do not break my peaceful
place.

I am extremely disappointed in the governments decision to approve this
plant within our community, as it has the potential to cause harm
through long term exposure to emissions. A guarantee can not be given
to the local community that harm will not be caused, despite the
environmental impact statement, as long term exposure can never truely
be predicted. Leppington is part of the South Western Sydney growth
corridor and many young families are relocating to this area. The long
term impact of the emissions are potentially dangerous to the
community as a whole but particularly to the young children who are
living and going to school in this region. I have a toddler who
attends a daycare centre off Bringelly road, and the possibility of
harmful substances being emitted from the facility would make me want
to relocate him out of the area. I would not have purchased land and
built In Leppington if I had know this motor oil facility was to be
built, and I will consider leaving the area of his does go ahead. I
ask the government to reconsider this decision and move the facility
to the outskirts of the city to reduce potential harm to our
community. This is the sensible and considered decision that is
required if the government truely listens to their constituents.

This facility should not be set up right in the middle of suburbs where
families live and childcare centres operate. It should be set up far
away from residential areas. It is unsafe and will cause more traffic
congestion.

For the sake of the health of the people in our locsl area I do not want
to see this motor oil facility approved.

I don't want my family exposed to such dangerous chemicals.

To whom it may concern, I've been reviewing the air quality impact
assessment prepared for application SSD 17_8900, Nulon Motor Oils
Facility. There are some areas of concern and claims made that are
without evidence to support the position stated. A statement of
neutral impact is anticipated to the environment is not provided with
any evidence. I note Table 8 provides evaporation rates (further
unsubstantiated by lack of MSDS documentation, although a web search
will confirm these values for all except NB3070 Glycool 670 which
could have been appended to the document), however, evaporation rates
alone do not provide assessment of the impact to the air quality such
that neighbouring residences may be affected by the odours (harmful or
not) coming from the facility. Both the sections referring to
"Receptor Sensitivity" and "Magnitude" make reference to risk
assessments and a quantified review of the impact whereas this section
referring to "Nature of Impact" is unsubstantiated. The final
statement prior to the conclusion notes a vegetative buffer existing
between the Development Site and the existing sensitive receptors
located to the North. A quick survey of the map displays that the two
highest impacted residence (approx. 20m and 50m away from the site) do
not benefit from this existing vegetative buffer and these locations
are the areas of highest impact. Furthermore, the development plans
have not included any detail for the planting of advanced trees. The
site's location necessitates the removal of trees and no inclusion in
the plan commits to the replacement of that vegetation apart from a
"Not for Construction" landscape plan which results in little to no
commitment to undertaken the planned work. Requirements for the
planting of advanced and super advanced trees should be included
within the proposal. Please consider these concerns as an assessment
to reduce the risks and negative impacts to the surrounding
neighbourhood so far as is reasonably practicable does not appear
complete. I look forward to your response. Regards, Shaun Padt

Some Submission Suggestions Please fell free to add in the comments
Summary guide/ Suggestions/ Information for submissions of
disapproval: * The land/ block/ area chosen has been approved for
light industrial use only NULON is attempting to build a heavy
industrial site that the council approved for cafes, restaurants, park
lands, shops * The impact on our local roads from increased traffic
congestion due to heavy vehicles, oil tanker trucks operating 24/7 *
The risk of a heavy vehicle incident involving hazardous materials in/
around our local community * The very real daily threat to our local
families/ schools/ day care centres/ children (your choice of wording)
of a major incident occurring due to mechanical failure or human
error. The impact would be catastrophic to the immediate area/s
depending on the severity of the incident (explosion/ fire etc...) *
The immediate threat to the surrounding environment/ community/
residents should there be a major/ spill due to on site tank rupture
due to fire incident occurred in or around or local community * The
hazardous products stored, mixed, refined, transported are
carcinogenic (cancer causing) and can be directly related to the
development of tumours, rashes, lung and raspatory issues/
complications/ when exposed either directly or indirectly * If you can
smell it, its affecting you, no price on my families health, zero
tolerance * The daily smells, the trucks running all night and day *
The lack of community consultation by NULON we didn't know, until now
and found out second hand * Incidents (not accidents) will and have
happened, we will not take the chance of having such a hazardous
operation directly within our family community * Previous incident
occurred at the Moorebank factory where an oil mixing/ blending
machine was left running until the fire brigade were alerted via an
electronic direct alarm, when they attended they found that the
blending machine had been left on unattended, if that alarm had failed
(mechanical failure) the result (worst case) could have been multiple
fatalities. 48 people suffered chemical exposure symptoms such as
nausea, vomiting, head ache/ migraines/ sores and rashes as a result.
We will not take that chance with our families/ community and
surrounding areas. EPA report on the face book page * Processes and
procedures can be diverted from/ due to fatigue, poor training, poor
operational culture (meeting deadlines/ company expectations),
alcohol, drugs, repetition (breeds complacency/ laziness/ take short
cuts) these would be classed as an example of human error * We will
not live with the daily fear of a minor, major or any incident ever
occurring within our immediate community, there is no price that can
be put on our families lives/ health/ wellbeing no amount of
compensation would ever take back the damage done * If this factory is
build it will lower our housing prices considerably, as who wants to
live near an oil/ aerosol production factory/ distribution centre
(this is one reason NULON has proposed to build next to established
homes, would you buy next to NULON?) * People/ children/ elderly with
pre-existing medical conditions in the area such as autism, asthma and
so on would be greatly affected The NULON company obviously has no
interest in the detrimental effects on the surrounding residents
quality of life as a result of their operational goals, this is clear
within the information provided on the face book page. The above
points were compiled as a guide to all who require such information to
be included either in full or part of their submission. We suggest
reading other submissions completed online to get an idea of the
argument you wish to make. Thank you.

My friends in the community are fiercely against the relocation.

This manufacturing site is not needed in our community so near to
schools, and homes, which is one of the fasting growing areas. I do
not support this project to be built as it poses health. noise risks
and pollution. This area is thriving on new houses being built, young
families settling in therefore this kind of facility near our homes is
definitely not welcome.
