1 INTRODUCTION

Coffey Geotechnics Pty Ltd (Coffey) were engaged by Karuah East Quarry Pty Ltd to undertake a groundwater assessment for a proposed hard rock quarry, located off the Pacific Highway and about 3km north-east of Karuah, NSW (the Project). This report presents the findings of the groundwater assessment.

1.1 Proponent and Project Description

Karuah East Quarry Pty Ltd is the proponent, and will develop and operate the quarry.

The quarry (Karuah East) is to be situated within Lot 12 and Lot 13 (DP 102456) to the northeast of the existing quarry operations on adjacent land. The site is located within the Great Lakes Local Government Area. Figures showing the location of the proposed and existing quarries are provided in Appendix A.

The operation proposed is classified as extractive industry (quarrying) of a resource comprising rhyodacite/dacite igneous volcanic rock. An extraction rate of up to 1.5 million tonnes/annum is planned, and the project is classified on this basis as a ‘Major Project’.

The proposed quarry will involve excavations to a base level of approximately 45 metres Reduced Level (mRL).

2 EXISTING SITE ENVIRONMENT

2.1 Rainfall

Data was obtained from a meteorological station nearby to the Project site - Williamtown RAAF (Station number 061078, 32.79oS, 151.84oE). Long term rainfall records for this station (1946-2010) indicated a mean total annual rainfall of 1122 mm.

Figure 2.1 illustrates the seasonal variations of rainfall data in the period from 1946 to 2010. Mean monthly rainfall is well distributed throughout the year without a distinct wet or dry season. However the months are from January to June are indicated to be approximately 50% wetter than July to December.

The daily rainfall data recorded in 2010 was also reviewed and plotted. The peak daily rainfall for 2010 was approximately 48 mm.

2.2 Topography and Drainage

The site is situated approximately 3km north-east of the township of Karuah, NSW. The regional topography typically comprises moderately undulating terrain, with prominent rounded hill forms and relatively narrow concave gullies within the immediate vicinity of the proposed quarry site. A broad, slightly undulating to low lying terrain transition exists to the south of the site associated with tributaries of upper Port Stephens/Karuah River, including The Branch Creek.

The proposed quarry (Lot 12 and Lot 13, DP 1024564) is located toward the crest and south-eastern flank of a prominent north-east trending ridge line with surface slopes in the order of 15° to 20° and topographic relief in the order of 100m to 110m. A gully drains to the south-west toward the approximate middle of the lot, with the gully form becoming accentuated toward the mid to lower slopes.

The proposed expansion site to the north-west of the current quarry comprises a convex rounded hill with a rough elliptical form with an elongated ridgeline that trends east to west. A gully exists on the western flank draining toward the south-west. Surface slopes over the hill are generally in the order of 15° to 20° on the southern and northern flanks of the hill and 10° down the eastern and western limits of the ridgeline.

Plans showing the site topography (together with inferred geology and site development location) are provided in Appendix A.

2.3 Geology

The Newcastle 1:250,000 Geological Map (1966) indicated that the Project site is located near a north-north-easterly trending fault which provides a faulted contact between the Carboniferous aged Nerong Volcanics and undifferentiated Carboniferous sediments consisting mostly of clastic sedimentary rocks with some interbedded volcanics.

Results of the subsurface investigation within the proposed north eastern quarry (Lot 12) revealed an extremely to highly weathered dacite grading to a slightly weathered to fresh dacite unit at depths typically 1m to 5m below the surface level.

Results of the subsurface investigation within nearby Lot 21 revealed an extremely to highly weathered rhyodacite grading to a slightly weathered to fresh dacite unit at varying depths with some weathering noted down the profile.



5

Interbeds of sandstone, conglomerate and volcaniclastic siltstone were noted within the rhyodacite deposit. These interbedded units are generally 3m to 5m in thickness and exhibit a low to medium strength.

Geological mapping (Coffey, 2010) indicated a shear zone approximately 5m wide that exhibits intense sub-vertical fracturing within the southern bench of the current quarry pit. Igneous dykes were identified within the existing quarry walls and borehole logs including two types as follows:

Mafic dark grey dykes generally 0.3m to 0.5m wide with white veining and multiple fracture planes; and,

Felsic pale brown to white dyke that is up to 4m wide and generally extremely weathered to sandy clay in exposure.

Figure 2.2 shows photographs of the weathered felsic dyke and the sheared basalt dyke in the southern side of the existing Karuah quarry. The inferred locations of shear zones and dykes are shown in Appendix A.

2.3.1 Soils

The soils of the site comprise shallow stony brown loams forming part of the Gan Gan Soil Landscape (GSS Environment, 2004). The soils on the steep side of the site or on the top of the hill are very shallow to non-existent. The soils are moderately to slightly acid.

3 EXISTING GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS

This section presents the results of the groundwater investigation in relation to aquifers, groundwater levels, hydraulic parameters and groundwater quality observed in the Project site.

3.1 Bore Installation

Four groundwater bores (BH205, BH207, BH208 and BH303), constructed as piezometers with class 18 screwed PVC with machine slotted casing, end caps, and bentonite seals, were installed for this groundwater study. Groundwater levels/inflows were recorded during drilling and the bore holes were developed after the completion of drilling. Locations of monitoring bores and elevations of natural ground surface and top of casing were surveyed. Table 3.1 summarises the bore data including bore locations, ground elevations, bore depths, screen intervals, screen formation, and standing groundwater levels recorded manually using the Interface Probe during the falling head tests at monitoring bores BH205, BH207, BH208, and BH303. Bore locations are shown in Figure 3.1 and bore logs are provided in Appendix B.

3.2 Aquifers and Recharge

The map ‘Hydrogeology of Australia’ (Australian Water Resources Council and Department of Resources and Energy, 1987) indicates that the Project site is located within an area of which the principal aquifer can be described as fractured or fissured aquifer of low-moderate productivity. This is consistent with the observed site geology based on drilling, which indicates groundwater within fractured volcanic rock.

Diffuse groundwater recharge is likely to occur by infiltration of rainfall, and the shallow stony loams probably allow reasonable recharge rates. More focussed recharge may occur in topographic depressions where surface runoff can pool.



6

3.3 Groundwater levels

Standing water levels recorded at bores BH205, BH207, BH208 and BH303 ranged from about 12mbgs (metres below ground surface) to 30mbgs. Reduced groundwater levels at these bores range from 20.57mRL to 33.61mRL. Figure 3.1 shows the bore locations and groundwater level data.

Time-series groundwater levels were recorded at BH205, BH207 and BH208 using pressure transducers equipped with data loggers. Head values were measured hourly during the period from 04/05/2010 to 18/08/2010 to study the temporal fluctuations of groundwater levels. Groundwater levels observed over the 106 day monitoring period at BH205 varied between 32.78mRL and 33.69mRL (change of 0.91m). Levels observed at BH207 varied between 20.51mRL and 20.85mRL (change of 0.35m). Levels observed at BH208 varied between 33.15mRL and 35.26mRL (change of 2.11m).

The time-series groundwater levels for BH205, BH207 and BH208 were plotted versus time to illustrate the groundwater trends (Figures 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4). The daily rainfall data obtained at the meteorological station Williamtown RAAF during the monitoring period was also plotted on the figures. Rainfall data indicated there is a response of groundwater level changes to high rainfall events in June.

3.4 Hydraulic Conductivity

Falling head tests were carried out at monitoring bores BH205, BH207, BH208, and BH303. After the completion of drilling and piezometer installation the bore holes were left to settle for at least one week before hydraulic testing took place. Prior to the test, standing water levels were measured and the bores were purged.

Falling head tests were performed at each bore to assess the permeability of the screened formation. Test results of four monitoring bores indicated the hydraulic conductivity of the screened bedrock (hornblende dacite, sandstone, rhyolite, rhyodacite and conglomerate) varied from 5 x 10-6m/s to 9 x 10-

6m/s (Table 3.2).

Shear zones with intense sub-vertical fracturing identified at the Project site may exhibit higher values of hydraulic conductivity.

Falling head test data and calculations are presented in Appendix C.

3.5 Groundwater Chemistry

Groundwater samples were collected at bores BH205 and BH207 in May 2010 and at bores BH303 and BH205 in November 2010. All groundwater sampling was carried out in accordance with standard quality assurance procedures.

At the completion of drilling and piezometer installation the bore holes were left to settle for at least one week before groundwater sampling took place. Prior to water sampling, the standing water level was measured and the bore was purged until Redox Potential and Electrical Conductivity stabilised to ensure representative formation water is being sampled. Groundwater from the monitoring bore was sampled into laboratory supplied containers, and transported in a chilled esky to a NATA accredited laboratory (SGS Environmental Services) for analysis.

The following analytical suite was analysed to meet the requirements for baseline groundwater monitoring at the site. The analytical suite provides information on basic groundwater parameters, and potentially detrimental water constituents such as major ions, TDS, metals, background levels of nutrients and potential groundwater contaminants, such as, pesticides, herbicides and hydrocarbons.



7

pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS);

Nutrients: nitrate, total nitrogen, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, ammonium, total phosphorus, phosphate;

Major cations: calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium;

Major anions: chloride, sulphate, carbonate, bicarbonate;

Fluoride;

Alkalinity;

Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH);

BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene);

Metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, manganese, mercury, total iron, filterable iron);

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH);

Organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides, phenoxy acid herbicides.

The major ions were used to classify the hydrochemical groundwater types using a Piper diagram (Figure 3.5). Samples obtained from bore BH205 can be classified as sodium-chloride-carbonate type. Groundwater samples obtained from bores BH303 and BH207 can be classified as sodium-chloride type.

The chemical parameters were compared with guidelines of Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC 2000) for fresh water and National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC 2004) for drinking water (health guidelines). Laboratory analytical results are summarised in Table 3.2. The groundwater quality results indicate chloride and sodium concentrations in groundwater sample from bore BH207 exceeded ANZECC for human consumption, otherwise, groundwater is considered generally “fresh”. Some metal concentrations (copper and zinc) of the sampled groundwater exceed the ANZECC guidelines for freshwater (Table 3.2). This means that the groundwater seepage should not be discharged directly into the freshwater environment without appropriate treatment and approval.

The groundwater quality data from May and November 2010 sampling events will be used as baseline values to compare with groundwater samples collected during and after the quarrying operations. The laboratory analytical reports of May and November sampling events are presented in Appendix D.

4 GROUNDWATER IMPACT ASSESSMENT

The potential impact of the proposed quarry on groundwater flows, groundwater quality, groundwater-dependent ecosystems, and existing groundwater stakeholders are presented in this section. The proposed management plan and mitigation measures to reduce the groundwater related risks are also discussed.

4.1 Potential impacts on groundwater flows and recharge

Several bores have been previously drilled within the proposed quarry (BH201, BH202, BH203 and BH204) (Coffey, 2010a).



8

The surface elevation at these bores, located on high ground, was 135.9mRL to 141.1mRL. The depths of the bores ranged from ~58m to ~81m and the deepest RL achieved was ~60mRL. Groundwater was not encountered in any of these bores.

It is noted that the proposed quarry is located between bores BH208 and BH205 (Figure 3.1). Groundwater at each of these bores is approximately 33.6mRL. It is common for an unconfined groundwater surface to exhibit a subdued representation of the surface topography, with the highest groundwater levels occurring in topographically high areas, such as in the quarry vicinity, and accordingly the groundwater gradients are likely to be approximately radially away from high ground. This is consistent with the lower groundwater RLs observed at BH207 and BH303, however limited data points are available to fully characterise the groundwater surface.

Nevertheless, sufficient data is available to show that the typical groundwater RL at the proposed quarry site (33.6mRL) is greater than 10m below the planned quarry base (45mRL). The assessment of time-series groundwater level data (Figures 3.2 to 3.4) show that fluctuations in groundwater level caused by rainfall or seasonality are likely to be insignificant relative to this level difference.

Hence the excavation is not indicated to intersect the groundwater surface, and groundwater inflow is not likely to be an issue. However some interflow of seepage water could occur from the unsaturated zone above the true watertable, but it is not feasible to quantify what flows or rates could occur. Such flows, if they did occur, could be expected to have a seasonality or correlation with rainfall, and would be dependent on the presence of preferential flowpaths such as fractures or shear zones. In any case, such flows would be anticipated to be minor.

Excavation of quarries can lead to increases to local groundwater recharge and the potential for groundwater mounding in the vicinity of such operations. If this were to occur at the proposed Karuah East quarry it is considered unlikely to be of a magnitude that might result in any adverse environmental impacts. In addition, pumping of any ponded water would further minimise potential impacts.

Experience at the existing quarry site also indicated that groundwater was not intercepted in any operations due to the elevation and topography of the site (Asquith & de Witt Pty Ltd, 2004).

4.2 Potential impacts on groundwater quality

Potential contamination sources could include diesel, other petroleum-based fuels and lubricants, oily waste water, potentially contaminated leakage from fuel and chemical storage areas and runoff water. The contamination of groundwater systems may come from the operation of heavy vehicles and equipments on the Project site. Hydrocarbons and chemical storage areas, fuel refill areas and areas for emergency repairs of vehicle within the Project site are areas where there is a potential for spillage/leakage. Zones with higher permeability (fault zones, shear zones) are more vulnerable to the contamination. However it is understood that only limited quantities of hydrocarbons would be stored at the site.

The proposed Project site has topographic relief in the order of 100m to 110mRL, is free draining, and potential acid sulfate soils have not been identified. Analytical results of groundwater samples obtained at the site indicated a high buffering capacity with total alkalinity as CaCO3 ranging from 62mg/L to 220mg/L. It is envisaged that the proposed quarry has no potential adverse impact on groundwater quality in relation to acid sulphate soil or rock.



9

4.3 Potential impacts on groundwater sensitive ecosystems

The Project site is within 1.5 km of the upper tidal extent of Yalimbah Creek, which contains SEPP 14 wetlands. In the event of significant environmental release at the Project site, contaminant migration through impacted groundwater could impact groundwater dependent ecosystems when the impacted groundwater reached the wetlands. However it is noted that substantial volumes of fuels and lubricants are not planned to be stored onsite. In addition, it is noted that the extent of dissolved phase groundwater contaminant plumes from small sites rarely exceed 100 metres from the source of release, and hence it is unlikely that petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants could reach this receptor.

The groundwater quality results indicate that some background metal concentrations (copper, manganese and zinc) of the sampled groundwater exceed the ANZECC guidelines for freshwater. This means that the groundwater seepage would require some treatment before it can be discharged into the environment; therefore, water will be retained on site for quarry operations and for environmental mitigation.

It is envisaged that the proposed quarry operations has no adverse impact on groundwater-dependent ecosystems should the management plans and effective control measures be carried out.

4.4 Potential impact on groundwater stakeholders

There is no existing groundwater stakeholder in the vicinity (2km) of the Project site based on a search of the New South Wales Groundwater bore database in 2010. The search results indicated that there are two registered bores (Registration Numbers GW080723 and GW019084) located within five kilometres from the Project site.

Bore GW019084 is located approximately five kilometres away and withdraws groundwater for domestic (stock) purpose. The bore is 11.9m deep and withdraws water from a coastal sand aquifer (Coffey, 2002). Table 4.1 presents the work summary report including the site details, driller log, construction details, yield and salinity of the water bearing zone.

Records of bore GW080723 shows no details on driller’s log, construction method and water bearing zone. The location of this registered bore in relation to the Project site is shown in Figure 4.2.

The proposed quarry is not considered to be of significance to the quality or productivity of existing groundwater bores.

5 MANAGEMENT CONTROLS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

The following management plans and control measures will be carried out to reduce the groundwater related risks.

It is assessed that the proposed quarry will exhibit minor seepage conditions similar to the existing quarry on adjacent land to the west. It is recommended that benches and the pit floor be graded to promote drainage toward the entrance to the pit;

Minor seepage and ponding water from excessive rainfall is likely to be manageable by conventional drainage measures within the quarry such as periodic pumping out to the surrounding drainage controls. Water will be retained on site for quarry operations and for environmental mitigation;



10

Locations for fuel refill and for vehicle repairs are areas where there is a potential for spillage/leakage. It is understood that only emergency repairs are to be carried out onsite and that major repairs/maintenance are planned to occur offsite; therefore, the amount of stored hydrocarbons on site is limited. Refuelling will be undertaken in a designated non-permeable (compacted clay or concrete) area. Runoff water from the Project site will be collected and monitored for environmental mitigation to prevent chemicals and hydrocarbon pollutants such as petroleum, diesel, and oil seeping into the groundwater system;

Fuel storage facilities are installed in accordance with relevant statutory requirements. Handling and storage of fuel and oil within the project site will be in accordance with Australian Standard, AS 1940-2004 (Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids) and NSW Work Cover 2005 Code of Practice for Storage and Handling of Dangerous Goods to reduce the risk of any spills or environmental release. We suggest above ground storage in a bunded facility be used;

Limited amounts of chemicals are required for the proposed quarry operations. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are kept in the site safety system for all chemical used on site. The MSDS contain information on the environmental impacts of the use of certain chemicals and includes detail on emergency response, clean up and disposal. Handling and storage of all chemicals within the project site will be in accordance with Dangerous Goods Act 1975 (NSW), and Australian standards, including AS 1940-2004 (Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids) to reduce the risk of any spills or environmental release; and

Backfilling the excavated areas in the closure stage will use spoil, and clean fill fit for purpose and in accord with relevant statutory requirements.

6 CONTINGENCY, MONITORING AND REPORTING

6.1 Contingency Plans

Emergency Response Procedures have been developed and implemented for the existing Hunter Quarry on adjoining land to the west and will be adapted for the proposed new Karuah East quarry. Contingency plans will be developed to address actions that are required where unforeseen events occur. Contingency plans may consider the following, if required.

Groundwater levels: If groundwater level monitoring indicates abrupt changes, additional investigations will be carried out to implement necessary measures; and

Groundwater quality: In the event that the groundwater quality monitoring indicates a deteriorating change of groundwater quality in relation to the proposed quarrying operations, the appropriate authority should be contacted to discuss the implementation of necessary measures.

6.2 Monitoring plan

Monitoring of groundwater levels and groundwater quality will be conducted prior to the start of quarry operations. Groundwater monitoring conducted on a regular basis will provide a means to identify any variations over time and to provide reliable site information that may be required on request by government agencies such as the EPA. The testing will include the parameters listed in Section 6.2.2. The existing monitoring bores - BH205, BH207, BH208 and BH303 will be used for monitoring groundwater for the expansion area. New monitoring bores will be installed if any existing monitoring bores are destroyed during the quarry operations, or are subject to general failure. Surface runoff water will also be monitored at locations to be determined.



11

6.2.1 Groundwater levels

Groundwater levels should continue to be monitored on a quarterly basis to identify any adverse impacts arising from the operation of the quarry in the future, and to identify long-term groundwater level trends.

6.2.2 Groundwater quality

Groundwater samples should be collected for laboratory analysis on a 6-monthly basis. The groundwater quality results from the laboratory should be laboratory analysed for the parameters below and compared to the background water quality results obtained in this groundwater investigation. The groundwater sampling should be carried out by an experienced groundwater professional or environmental scientist in accordance with Australian sampling standards.

The basic analyte and parameter suite applies to all samples. The additional extended analytic suite should apply annually together with the basic suite.

Basic Analytes and Parameters - 6 monthly (every sample)

pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS); Alkalinity;

Total nitrogen, total phosphorus;

Major ions; calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, sulphate, carbonate, bicarbonate;

Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH);

BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene).

Additional Analytes - 12 monthly (every second sample only)

Nutrient suite: total nitrogen, nitrate, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total phosphorus, phosphate;

Metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, manganese, mercury, total iron, filterable iron);

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH);

Organophosphorus pesticides, phenoxy acid herbicides.

6.3 Reporting

The recording date, time and parameters of monitoring data will be collected and tabulated in case the reporting to the regulators is required. All original laboratory reports will be maintained on file. Monitoring records will be kept until the closure stage of the quarry for inspection on request by government agencies.

As a client of Coffey you should know that site subsurface conditions cause more constructionproblems than any other factor. These notes have been prepared by Coffey to help youinterpret and understand the limitations of your report.

Your report is based on project specific criteria

Your report has been developed on the basis of yourunique project specific requirements as understoodby Coffey and applies only to the site investigated.Project criteria typically include the general nature ofthe project; its size and configuration; the location ofany structures on the site; other site improvements;the presence of underground utilities; and the additionalrisk imposed by scope-of-service limitations imposedby the client. Your report should not be used if thereare any changes to the project without first askingCoffey to assess how factors that changed subsequentto the date of the report affect the report'srecommendations. Coffey cannot accept responsibilityfor problems that may occur due to changed factorsif they are not consulted.

Subsurface conditions can change

Subsurface conditions are created by natural processesand the activity of man. For example, water levelscan vary with time, fill may be placed on a site andpollutants may migrate with time. Because a reportis based on conditions which existed at the time ofsubsurface exploration, decisions should not be basedon a report whose adequacy may have been affectedby time. Consult Coffey to be advised how time mayhave impacted on the project.

Interpretation of factual data

Site assessment identifies actual subsurface conditionsonly at those points where samples are taken andwhen they are taken. Data derived from literatureand external data source review, sampling and subsequent laboratory testing are interpreted bygeologists, engineers or scientists to provide anopinion about overall site conditions, their likelyimpact on the proposed development and recommendedactions. Actual conditions may differ from those inferredto exist, because no professional, no matter howqualified, can reveal what is hidden by

Your report will only givepreliminary recommendationsYour report is based on the assumption that thesite conditions as revealed through selectivepoint sampling are indicative of actual conditionsthroughout an area. This assumption cannot besubstantiated until project implementation hascommenced and therefore your report recommendationscan only be regarded as preliminary. Only Coffey,who prepared the report, is fully familiar with thebackground information needed to assess whetheror not the report's recommendations are valid andwhether or not changes should be considered asthe project develops. If another party undertakesthe implementation of the recommendations of thisreport there is a risk that the report will be misinterpretedand Coffey cannot be held responsible for suchmisinterpretation.

earth, rock and time. The actual interface betweenmaterials may be far more gradual or abrupt thanassumed based on the facts obtained. Nothing canbe done to change the actual site conditions whichexist, but steps can be taken to reduce the impact ofunexpected conditions. For this reason, ownersshould retain the services of Coffey through thedevelopment stage, to identify variances, conductadditional tests if required, and recommend solutionsto problems encountered on site.

Your report is prepared forspecific purposes and personsTo avoid misuse of the information contained in yourreport it is recommended that you confer with Coffeybefore passing your report on to another party whomay not be familiar with the background and thepurpose of the report. Your report should not beapplied to any project other than that originallyspecified at the time the report was issued.

Important information about your Coffey Report

* For further information on this aspect reference should bemade to "Guidelines for the Provision of Geotechnicalinformation in Construction Contracts" published by theInstitution of Engineers Australia, National headquarters,Canberra, 1987.

Interpretation by other design professionals

Costly problems can occur when other design professionals develop their plans based on misinterpretationsof a report. To help avoid misinterpretations, retainCoffey to work with other project design professionalswho are affected by the report. Have Coffey explainthe report implications to design professionals affectedby them and then review plans and specificationsproduced to see how they incorporate the reportfindings.

Data should not be separated from the report*

The report as a whole presents the findings of the siteassessment and the report should not be copied inpart or altered in any way.

Logs, figures, drawings, etc. are customarily includedin our reports and are developed by scientists,engineers or geologists based on their interpretationof field logs (assembled by field personnel) andlaboratory evaluation of field samples. These logs etc.should not under any circumstances be redrawn forinclusion in other documents or separated from thereport in any way.

Geoenvironmental concerns are not at issue

Your report is not likely to relate any findings,conclusions, or recommendations about the potentialfor hazardous materials existing at the site unlessspecifically required to do so by the client. Specialistequipment, techniques, and personnel are used toperform a geoenvironmental assessment.Contamination can create major health, safety andenvironmental risks. If you have no information aboutthe potential for your site to be contaminated or createan environmental hazard, you are advised to contactCoffey for information relating to geoenvironmentalissues.

Rely on Coffey for additional assistance

Coffey is familiar with a variety of techniques andapproaches that can be used to help reduce risks forall parties to a project, from design to construction. Itis common that not all approaches will be necessarilydealt with in your site assessment report due toconcepts proposed at that time. As the projectprogresses through design towards construction,speak with Coffey to develop alternative approachesto problems that may be of genuine benefit both intime and cost.

Responsibility

Reporting relies on interpretation of factual informationbased on judgement and opinion and has a level ofuncertainty attached to it, which is far less exact thanthe design disciplines. This has often resulted in claimsbeing lodged against consultants, which are unfounded.To help prevent this problem, a number of clauseshave been developed for use in contracts, reports andother documents. Responsibility clauses do not transferappropriate liabilities from Coffey to other parties butare included to identify where Coffey's responsibilitiesbegin and end. Their use is intended to help all partiesinvolved to recognise their individual responsibilities.Read all documents from Coffey closely and do nothesitate to ask any questions you may have.

DEFINITION:In engineering terms soil includes every type of uncementedor partially cemented inorganic or organic material found inthe ground. In practice, if the material can be remoulded ordisintegrated by hand in its field condition or in water it isdescribed as a soil. Other materials are described using rockdescription terms.

CLASSIFICATION SYMBOL & SOIL NAMESoils are described in accordance with the Unified SoilClassification (UCS) as shown in the table on Sheet 2.

The descriptive terms used by Coffey are given below. They are broadly consistent with Australian Standard AS1726-1993.

DEFINITIONS:Rock Substance

DefectMass

Rock substance, defect and mass are defined as follows:In engineering terms roch substance is any naturally occurring aggregate of minerals and organic material which cannot bedisintegrated or remoulded by hand in air or water. Other material is described using soil descriptive terms. Effectivelyhomogenous material, may be isotropic or anisotropic.Discontinuity or break in the continuity of a substance or substances.Any body of material which is not effectively homogeneous. It can consist of two or more substances without defects, or one ormore substances with one or more defects.

SUBSTANCE DESCRIPTIVE TERMS:

CLASSIFICATION OF WEATHERING PRODUCTS

ROCK SUBSTANCE STRENGTH TERMS

ROCK NAME

PARTICLE SIZE

FABRIC

Simple rock names are used rather than precisegeological classification.

Grain size terms for sandstone are:Mainly 0.6mm to 2mmMainly 0.2mm to 0.6mmMainly 0.06mm (just visible) to 0.2mm

Coarse grainedMedium grainedFine grained

Terms for layering of penetrative fabric (eg. bedding,cleavage etc. ) are:

Massive

Indistinct

Distinct

No layering or penetrative fabric.

Layering or fabric just visible. Little effect on properties.

Layering or fabric is easily visible. Rock breaks moreeasily parallel to layering of fabric.

Term Definition

ResidualSoil

RS

ExtremelyWeatheredMaterial

XW

Soil derived from the weathering of rock; themass structure and substance fabric are nolonger evident; there is a large change involume but the soil has not been significantlytransported.

Material is weathered to such an extent that ithas soil properties, ie, it either disintegrates orcan be remoulded in water. Original rock fabricstill visible.

HighlyWeatheredRock

HW Rock strength is changed by weathering. Thewhole of the rock substance is discoloured,usually by iron staining or bleaching to theextent that the colour of the original rock is notrecognisable. Some minerals are decomposedto clay minerals. Porosity may be increased byleaching or may be decreased due to thedeposition of minerals in pores.

ModeratelyWeatheredRock

MW The whole of the rock substance is discoloured,usually by iron staining or bleaching , to theextent that the colour of the fresh rock is nolonger recognisable.

SlightlyWeatheredRock

SW Rock substance affected by weathering to theextent that partial staining or partialdiscolouration of the rock substance (usually bylimonite) has taken place. The colour andtexture of the fresh rock is recognisable;strength properties are essentially those of thefresh rock substance.

Fresh Rock FR Rock substance unaffected by weathering.

Notes on Weathering:1. AS1726 suggests the term "Distinctly Weathered" (DW) to cover the range of substance weathering conditions between XW and SW. For projects where it is not practical to delineate between HW and MW or it is judged that there is no advantage in making such a distinction. DW may be used with the definition given in AS1726.2. Where physical and chemical changes were caused by hot gasses and liquids associated with igneous rocks, the term "altered" may be substituted for "weathering" to give the abbreviations XA, HA, MA, SA and DA.

A piece of core 150mm longby 50mm can not be brokenby hand but can be brokenby a pick with a single firmblow; rock rings underhammer.

Hand specimen breaks aftermore than one blow of apick; rock rings underhammer.

Specimen requires manyblows with geological pick tobreak; rock rings underhammer.

Notes on Rock Substance Strength:1. In anisotropic rocks the field guide to strength applies to the strength perpendicular to the anisotropy. High strength anisotropic rocks may break readily parallel to the planar anisotropy.2. The term "extremely low" is not used as a rock substance strength term. While the term is used in AS1726-1993, the field guide therein makes it clear that materials in that strength range are soils in engineering terms.3. The unconfined compressive strength for isotropic rocks (and anisotropic rocks which fall across the planar anisotropy) is typically 10 to 25 times the point load index Is(50). The ratio may vary for different rock types. Lower strength rocks often have lower ratios than higher strength rocks.

COMMON DEFECTS INROCK MASSES

DEFECT SHAPE

Term Definition

Parting A surface or crack across which therock has little or no tensile strength.Parallel or sub parallel to layering(eg bedding) or a planar anisotropyin the rock substance (eg, cleavage).May be open or closed.

Joint A surface or crack across which therock has little or no tensile strength.but which is not parallel or subparallel to layering or planaranisotropy in the rock substance.May be open or closed.

ShearedZone

Zone of rock substance with roughlyparallel near planar, curved or undulating boundaries cut byclosely spaced joints, shearedsurfaces or other defects. Some ofthe defects are usually curved andintersect to divide the mass intolenticular or wedge shaped blocks.

(Note 3)

ShearedSurface

A near planar, curved or undulatingsurface which is usually smooth,polished or slickensided.(Note 3)

CrushedSeam

Seam with roughly parallel almostplanar boundaries, composed ofdisoriented, usually angularfragments of the host rocksubstance which may be moreweathered than the host rock. Theseam has soil properties.

(Note 3)

InfilledSeam

Seam of soil substance usually withdistinct roughly parallel boundariesformed by the migration of soil intoan open cavity or joint, infilledseams less than 1mm thick may bedescribed as veneer or coating onjoint surface.

ExtremelyWeatheredSeam

Seam of soil substance, often withgradational boundaries. Formad byweathering of the rock substance inplace.

Notes on Defects:1. Usually borehole logs show the true dip of defects and face sketches and sections the apparent dip.2. Partings and joints are not usually shown on the graphic log unless considered significant.3. Sheared zones, sheared surfaces and crushed seams are faults in geological terms.

Planar The defect does not vary inorientation

ROUGHNESS TERMS

COATING TERMS

BLOCK SHAPE TERMS

Curved The defect has a gradualchange in orientation

Undulating The defect has a wavy surface

Stepped The defect has one or morewell defined steps

Irregular The defect has many sharpchanges of orientation

Slickensided Grooved or striated surface,usually polished

Polished Shiny smooth surface

Smooth Smooth to touch. Few or nosurface irregularities

Rough Many small surface irregularities(amplitude generally less than1mm). Feels like fine to coarsesand paper.

Very Rough Many large surfaceirregularities (amplitudegenerally more than 1mm).Feels like, or coarser than verycoarse sand paper.

Clean No visible coating

Stained No visible coating butsurfaces are discoloured

Veneer A visible coating of soil ormineral, too thin to measure;may be patchy

Coating A visible coating up to 1mmthick. Thicker soil material isusually described usingappropriate defect terms (eg,infilled seam). Thicker rockstrength material is usuallydescribed as a vein.

Blocky Approximatelyequidimensional

Tabular Thickness much less thanlength or width

Columnar Height much greate thancross section

Note: The assessment of defect shape is partlyinfluenced by the scale of the observation.

SEO-018 BTEX / C6-C9 Hydrocarbons - Soil samples are extracted with methanol, purged and concentrated by a purge

and trap apparatus, and then analysed using GC/MS technique. Water samples undergo the same analysis

without the extraction step. Based on USEPA 5030B and 8260B.

SEO-020 Total Recoverable Hydrocarbons - determined by solvent extraction with dichloromethane / acetone for soils

and dichloromethane for waters, followed by instrumentation analysis using GC/FID.

Where applicable Solid Phase Extraction Manifold technique is used for aliphatic / aromatic fractionation.

SEO-030 Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons - determined by solvent extraction with dichloromethane / acetone for

soils and dichloromethane for waters, followed by instrumentation analysis using GC/MS SIM mode.

SEO-005 OC/OP/PCB - Determination of a suite of Organchlorine Pesticides, Chlorinated Organo-phosphorus Pesticides

and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB's) by liquid-liquid extraction using dichloromethane for waters, or

mechanical extraction using acetone / hexane for soils, followed by instrumentation analysis using GC/ECD.

Based on USEPA 8081/8082.

AN420 Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) including OC, OP, PCB, Herbicides, PAH, Phthalates, and

Speciated Phenols in soils, sediments and waters are determined by GCMS/ECD/FID technique following

appropriate solvent extraction process (Based on USEPA 3500C and 8270D).

PEO-720 Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) including OC, OP, PCB, Herbicides, PAH, Phthalates, and

Speciated Phenols in soils, sediments and waters are determined by GCMS technique following appropriate

solvent extraction process.

AN101 pH - Measured using pH meter and electrode based on APHA 21st Edition, 4500-H+. For water analyses the

results reported are indicative only as the sample holding time requirement specified in APHA was not met

(APHA requires that the pH of the samples are to be measured within 15 minutes after sampling).

SEI-037 Ammonia - Determined by salicylate colourimetric method using Discrete Analyser.

AN106 Conductivity and TDS by Calculation (cTDS) - Conductivity is measured using a conductivity cell and

dedicated meter, in accordance with APHA 21st Edition, 2510.

TDS is calculated by TDS(mg/L)=0.6 x Conductivity(µS/cm).

AN113 Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) - determined gravimetrically by evaporating the filtered sample to dryness at

180C, in accordance with APHA 21st Edition, 2540C.

Total Solids (TS) - determined gravimetrically by evaporating the well-mixed sample to dryness at 105C, in

accordance with APHA 21st Edition, 2540B.

Based on APHA 21st Edition, 4500-P E.

SEI-038 Water Soluble Chloride

After carrying out a 1:5 soil:water extraction, an aliquot of the extract is reacted with mercuric thiocyanate

forming a mercuric chloride complex. In the presence of ferric iron, highly coloured ferric thiocyanate is

formed which is proportional to the chloride concentration. Reference NEPM, Schedule B(3), 401 and APHA

4500Cl-

Water Soluble Sulphate

After carrying out a 1:5 soil:water extraction ,sulphate in the extract is precipitated in an acidic medium with

barium chloride. The resulting turbidity is measured photometrically at 405nm and compared with standard

calibration solutions to determine the sulphate concentration in the sample. Reference NEPM, Schedule B(3),

401 and APHA 4500-SO42-.

AN318 Determination of elements at trace level in waters by ICP-MS technique, in accordance with USEPA 6020A.
