Information request
however, seepage pathways from the facility have not been field verified or demonstrated.
receiving environment will assume that mapped GDEs are present (based on the current mapping available).
c) Based on the information developed in relation to item (b), provide:
i.
The baseline conditions of all GDEs that have the potential to be impacted by the proposed amendment, or otherwise indirectly impacted. A description of any potential risks and impacts to all GDEs to be impacted or likely to be impacted by the proposed activity. This must include potential changes to groundwater level and quality, including the expected locality and extent of the groundwater level and quality changes. Proposed management and monitoring strategies and/or program to detect potential impact on GDEs and any corrective action(s) if impacts are detected. Incorporate this information into the groundwater model accordingly.
ii.
iii.
iv.
d) Revise the consequence category assessment with consideration of the information requested above. Please consider relevant guidance material to determine and assess impacts to GDEs, including the EIS Information Guideline (2024) 8 .
