Term Meaning
Brine Brine is saline water produced through further concentration of Reverse
Osmosis Reject Water from a Water Treatment Plant.
Contractor The person, firm or company undertaking to supply services plant, or
equipment to which this document applies.
CSG Water CSG Water is underground water taken or interfered with during the course of
drilling or producing from a petroleum well or water observation bore within a
coal seam (also referred to as Associated Water).
Feed Water Feed water is typically raw CSG water sourced from a CSG aggregation pond
that is then treated by a Water Treatment Plant. However, in the event that the
Total Dissolved Solids are too high, the raw water may need to be blended with
treated waste water or permeate to produce feed water similar to the design
maximum value specified for a particular treatment facility.
Graticular Block Graticular Mining and Petroleum Exploration Licences are defined by a
Graticular Block of 5 minutes of Latitude x 5 minute of Longitude with a unique
alpha-numeric identifier. The blocks are named with reference to the
1:1,000,000 Government Data sheet that covers Queensland. Each block is
further divided into 25 sub-blocks, given an alphabetic identifier.
Permeate Permeate is the treated water produced by a Reverse Osmosis Plant or similar
treatment facility. It may be the same as Product Water.
Product Water Product water is the water produced by the Water Treatment Plant. See also
permeate.
Waste Water Reject water and backwash streams from the treatment process.

3.0 INTRODUCTION
QGC Pty Limited (QGC) is the principal holder of site specific Environmental Authorities (EA) (Chapter 5
Activities), permit numbers EPPG00878413 and EPPG00652513 (formally PEN100020207 and PEN
100068707 respectively) for the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas. These Project areas
contribute to Shell Australias QGC onshore gas project in Queensland.
The EAs were granted before the commencement of the Environmental Protection (Greentape
Reduction) and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2012 (Greentape Amendment Act) which amended the
Environmental Protection Act (EP Act) in March 2013. The EAs were level 1 Chapter 5A Environmental
Authorities, which were transitioned to be environmental authorities for a resource activity, having
continuing effect under section 690 of the EP Act.
The purpose of this Plan of Operations (PoO) is to provide detailed information about the scope of
petroleum activities to be carried out in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas under the period
of this PoO, and to satisfy the requirements prescribed in section 288 of the EP Act. The original PoO
was submitted pursuant to section 703 of the EP Act, which applied in respect of transitional
environmental authorities related to a petroleum lease.
3.1. Term
This PoO was originally developed as an Operational Plan for the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project
Areas as required by the EA conditions. The Operational Plan was subsequently updated after the
commencement of the Greentape Amendment Act to incorporate requirements of s288 EP Act and take
the form of a PoO. As such, the period over which this PoO extends reflects the EA conditions (i.e.
commencement date where specified) as well as QGC project development timeframes (i.e. cessation
date).
The PoO for the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas details the activities to be undertaken on
site in the five (5) year period between 1 November 2014 and 1 November 2019 as authorised by EA
EPPG00878413 and EPPG00652513. Data on existing activities undertaken in the Kenya and
Berwyndale South Project Areas was current as at December 2016.
3.2. Scope
Petroleum activities within the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas will be undertaken in
accordance with EA EPPG00878413 and EPPG00652513 and the approved Gas Field Development
Plan as required under the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 (P&G Act). The
petroleum activities are broadly categorised as follows:
This PoO provides the following information in accordance with Section 288 of the EP Act and responds
to Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP) Guideline: Preparing a plan of operations
for an environmental authority relating to a petroleum lease:

Revision 8 December 2016
Both the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas contain Areas of Regional Interest as defined under
the Regional Planning interests Act 2014. Berwyndale South Project area contains a large amount of
Strategic Cropping Area (SCA). SCA and a Priority Agricultural Area (PAA) are present within the Kenya
Project Area. The PAA covers all of the Argyle and Kenya blocks, the majority of the Lauren block and
parts of the Codie and Matilda-John blocks.
Rehabilitation of disturbed areas will aim to return the land to its pre-disturbance land use to the greatest
extent possible. Land use will be confirmed and documented as part of the pre-clearance survey process
prior to any disturbance required for construction of project infrastructure (refer Section 9.0). Once
rehabilitated, it is anticipated that post-disturbance land use will reflect pre-disturbance land use except
where an alternative use has been agreed with the relevant government department and landholder(s).
Soil types vary across the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas with dark cracking clays and
dispersive sandy or loamy texture contrast (TC) soils associated with the cropping land, and a range of
soil types occurring across the remaining areas (refer Figure 3).
Confirmation of soil type is undertaken on site as part of the ecological surveys carried out prior to
finalisation of infrastructure location. This information is incorporated as part of the planning process for
managing potential impacts to soils on site. Soil management methods are determined with reference to
the applicable soil management unit and the requirements of the QGC Soil Management Plan (QCLNG-
BX00-ENV-PLN-0000034).
The topography in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas is generally flat to slightly undulating
with some minor change in topography associated with the watercourses in the area.

The remnant Regional Ecosystems (REs) found in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas
include:
The Condamine State Forest in the Kenya Project Area contains a number of mapped Essential Habitat
areas, identified through DEHP RE Maps. The Essential Habitats (refer Figure 4) relate to:
Fauna:
Brigalow Scaly-foot Gecko (Paradelma orientalis);
Greater Long-eared Bat (Nyctophilus timoriensis); and
Imperial Hairstreak (Jalmenus eubulus).
Flora:
Acacia wardellii.
Infrastructure locations are selected to avoid ESAs and other areas that have been identified with
significant environmental values. Final route alignment of all linear infrastructure avoids, to the greatest
extent possible, ESAs, watercourse crossings and any species of ecological significance.
The Berwyndale South, Matilda John, Codie and Kate blocks all contain large vegetated areas including
the Condamine State Forest. These areas have a medium Biodiversity Significance rating with some
small areas of high and very high ratings. Dominant Broad Vegetation Groups (BVGs) identified within the
Kenya and Berwyndale South Areas vary with the most extensive BVGs being (refer Figure 5):

No referable wetlands were identified in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas (refer Figure 6).
A search of the Declared Wild Rivers and River Improvement Trust areas did not find any declared areas
within the in the Kenya or Berwyndale South Project Areas.
A search of the mapped Referable Wetlands GIS database from DEHP indicates that the Kenya Project
Area contains wetlands of High Ecological Significance (HES). Both the Kenya and Berwyndale South
Project Areas contain a number of General Ecological Significance (GES) wetlands in the Wetland
Management Area under the EP Act (refer Figure 6).

and pre-clearance surveys are undertaken to identify the presence of environmental values and
determine if there are suitable alternative locations that will avoid or minimise impacts. Constraints
mapping is applied for the life of the project, and is updated as additional relevant information becomes
available. The final location selection for infrastructure involves on-ground surveys and further refinement
of locations based on internal feedback from all business groups within QGC, regulatory requirements
and landholder agreements.
QGC considers only infrastructure that has been approved through the QGC UDP as programmed and
approved infrastructure for the purposes of the DEHP Guideline and for the purposes of EA
EPPG00878413 conditions. The final approval under the UDP prior to construction means the
infrastructure has been through detailed design and agreement with landholders has been reached on the
design, scale and location of the proposed infrastructure.
QGC undertakes exploration and development activities and negotiates access to land in accordance
with the requirements of the P&G Act and the Qld Land Access Code (2010). The Land Access Code
regulates the communications between landholders and resource companies and outlines mandatory
conditions that must be complied with whilst undertaking activities on private land. This includes the
negotiation of Conduct and Compensation Agreements (CCAs) prior to undertaking advanced activities
on private land.

7.1.1. Overview
A total of 995 wells, will be developed in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas by 1 November
2019. As at December 2016, seven of the blocks in the Kenya Project Area and the Berwyndale South
block were listed for development to 1 November 2019. Sections 7.1.3 to 7.1.8 below provide a detailed
description of the processes involved in the establishment and operation of a well.
Seismic and geotechnical investigations are undertaken to delineate the formation for the exploration of
coal bed methane or natural gas. Seismic investigations most commonly comprise 2D investigations that
use vibrator pads located on trucks to generate seismic waves down through the strata that are reflected
back from different layers in the geological profile. This is recorded to precise locations using a Global
Positioning System (GPS). The seismic waves are recorded and a geological profile is produced to
determine the most appropriate location to drill a well. The process for 2D seismic survey is as follows:
Selection of a seismic line location from desktop review that meets technical requirements and
minimises vegetation disturbance (with reference to the Constraints Protocol). Route alignment is
most commonly along existing access tracks, fence lines, property boundaries etc.;
Gain access from the landholder, in accordance with QGC procedures and the Land Access Code;
Route selection is finalised after ground-truthing has determined the potential for unavoidable
significant impacts and landholder agreements have been secured;
Vegetation management where required including slashing and mulching. Generally, minimal
disturbance to vegetation results from seismic work, especially through agricultural areas. Where
required, vegetation clearance of stems 100 mm diameter at breast height is undertaken using
tracked mulching machine but only where critically needed. Maximum authorised width of disturbance
of 10 m;
Recording of seismic survey using vibreosis trucks along the route; and
Carry out rehabilitation activities as required, although generally the seismic lines are left to
regenerate naturally post-mulching.
Geotechnical investigations may then be undertaken to verify the seismic data and include core sampling
activities in locations to give statistical validity to gas reserve estimates. For major infrastructure,
geotechnical investigations consist of shallow cores to determine the strength of underlying soil profiles to
evaluate the civil works programme for construction. Occasionally, 3D seismic surveys are undertaken in
areas where more detailed data is required. 3D seismic survey typically results in a greater area of
disturbance due to the 200 m spacing of survey lines.
2D and 3D seismic data has been acquired over Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas. No further
2D or 3D seismic is currently scheduled to November 2019 although an allowance has been made for
some minor seismic activity during the period of this PoO depending on future business decisions.
Depending upon the type of drill rig used, well site preparation may include installation of and provision
for:

Revision 8 December 2016
Typically, CSG production is not optimal if wells are within 500 m of each other and QGC will typically
space CSG production wells approximately 750 m apart where this is practical. Environmental and social
constraints are considered in locating wells. The majority of wells are drilled as a single well per well pad.
The well sites require a firm and level area of approximately 1 ha to accommodate a drilling rig. This pad
area places the drill rig at a safe distance from site offices, ancillary drilling equipment and other
associated temporary infrastructure.
Vegetation, topsoil and subsoil are removed from the area and soil is stockpiled separately for use during
rehabilitation. Where wells are constructed on slopes, cut and fill may be required to establish a level
base. Approximately 40% of the well pad is partially rehabilitated to ensure stability of the area following
installation of well pad infrastructure. Once rehabilitated, it is anticipated that post-disturbance land use
will reflect pre-disturbance land use except where an alternative use has been agreed with the relevant
government department and landholder(s). Where necessary, stormwater will be diverted around the drill
pad via bunding with flow directed onto undisturbed areas.
Once a site has been prepared the drilling process commences. Well construction is carried out in stages.
The main drill rig drills the well to a target depth through the coal seams (generally 300 m to 700 m below
ground level). The subsurface formations are logged to test formation composition, and the coal seams
are often under reamed (i.e. opened out to a larger diameter). A drill stem test is conducted on
exploration and appraisal wells, to test water flow rates. A top hole rig may be used to drill the first section
of the well down to between 60 m and 100 m prior to the main rig arrival, although often the main rig will
drill this upper section as well. Steel casing is installed in the hole and concrete is pumped in to fill the
gap around the casing and provide isolation from the formations above the coals. The casing is also
pressure tested to ensure integrity of the well. Well-drilling operations are conducted 24 hours a day.
After the main drilling rig departs, a completion/workover rig is used to install completion tubing inside the
well. A pump is installed inside this to pump the water out of the coal seams through the tubing. Upon
reducing the pressure on the well through the removal of water, gas desorbs from the coals and is
produced to surface through the gap between the tubing and the casing (i.e. the casing/tubing annulus).
An indicative schedule of drill site activities for a single well and expected durations is given in Table 5.

After well construction is complete, barriers are erected around the permanent infrastructure. Appropriate
signage relating to restricted entry, fire hazards and protective clothing requirements is prominently
displayed to warn landholders and the public of the dangers and required controls.
Each drill rig is to be powered by diesel generators with capacity of approximately 200 kW to 500 kW.
Depending on the type of drill rig and engine, approximately 2,000 L of fuel is required per day. Typically
between 10,000 L and 20,000 L of fuel is stored temporarily and in accordance with AS 1940. Once
wellhead infrastructure is established, the CSG well pad is partially rehabilitated to occupy an area
approximating 0.6 ha. The surface equipment is fenced to exclude undesired access from the wellhead
infrastructure.
For TGS wells, deep natural gas drill rigs are transported to the site on trucks via permanent all-weather
and gravel access tracks once all transport permits are obtained. In addition, a 1 ha camp site is also
constructed close to the well site for drilling personnel. Drilling is conducted over a period of
approximately 60 to 70 days at depths of up to 4,400 m. During this phase cement is pumped into the well
between the steel lining and the rock face to create an impermeable barrier between wellbore and any
intersected aquifers. Once drilling is complete, a wellhead is installed. The TGS well pad size required
and drilling equipment is larger than those used for CSG exploration. The well sites, approximately 3 ha
each, comprise a cleared gravel drill pad with three depressions for the drilling sump, a flare pit and a
drill-water supply pond/stimulation pond.
Multi well pads are being investigated further to understand the ability of drilling multiple down holes from
one surface location. The surface disturbance is determined based on the number of wells planned from
that site. Typically a well pad is 1.5-2 ha for 4 down hole locations and can be up to 4 ha for 5 or more
down hole drills. The basis for multi well pad construction requires wells to be deviated from the well pad
on the surface to a targeted area within the coal seam, this targeted down hole location would be up to
750m from the top hole location, however this may vary dependant on the target area. The target coal
seam is the same as traditional CSG, although to be effective the coal depths are required to be deeper
(400m 800m in depth). The optimal depth is a requirement for achieving the required
separation/spacing (e.g. 750m surface spacing) and the preferred approach will be an S type drill
deviation.
Pilot well testing occurs as part of the exploration and appraisal program for Shell Australias QGC gas
project and pilot well testing (approximately 5% of total wells) typically is for 6 to 12 months duration. Pilot
wells are expected to flare approximately 40 million standard cubic feet (mmscf) of CSG (methane) during
the test period.
The stack for well site flares is between 2 m and 6 m high, is between 150 mm and 250 mm in diameter
and is designed to comply with all relevant standards. The flares are elevated and have a sterile radius
which is validated through radiation modelling (with a nominal radius of 20 m). This sterile radius is
cleared of all vegetation so there are no ignition hazards in a flaring event. Pilot well flares are continuous
during testing.
Wells are equipped with instrumentation and telemetry that transmits information, including production
and gas flow data, to a central control room. The primary function of the control room is to manage and
balance production against market demand for CSG, as well as provide a central point for managing and
responding to field-based emergencies. Triggers for a shutdown include potential well leaks and
production constraints.
Surface production facilities consist of a well pad fitted out with the wellhead, HPU driven progressive
cavity pump (PCP), pipe work, valves and fittings, gas/water separator, vent stack, control, monitoring
and safeguarding instrumentation. A wellhead seals casing strings and isolates the underground fluids
(gas and water), from the surface. A wellhead is usually installed when the well is completed. Wellheads

are typically rated to withstand 2,000 pounds per square inch (PSI), with typical maximum pressures
experienced up to 700 PSI. A free-flowing wellhead is likely to experience higher pressures.
A two-phase (water/gas) separator fitted to each well separates and channels water and gas into
separate gathering systems. This vessel has a design pressure of 125 PSI and is rated for 4 mmscfd
(113,300 Sm/day) of gas and 2,000 barrels (318 m) of water per day. The HDP cavity pump uses a gas
or diesel engine to pump water from the wells until such time as the wells may be converted to free
flowing. The upstream flow and pressure control system is designed to manage the entire upstream
system (wells via FCS and CPP to market). Control and safeguarding instrumentation is provided to
manage the facilities (including wells and compressors) during upset of conditions and other operational
requirements. Relief devices are provided to cover these situations and to maintain system control. To
ensure safe disposal and relief or blowdown flows, elevated flares with sterile areas are provided. These
will be primarily located at the FCS and are also be employed throughout the gathering system as
required and will be elevated sufficiently to ensure safe radiation intensities in the immediate vicinity.
Figure 8 shows an operating well configuration with wellhead, engine for hydraulic lift pump and
separator.
The upstream flow and pressure control system is designed to manage the entire upstream system (wells
via FCS and CPP to market). Control and safeguarding instrumentation is provided to manage the
facilities (including wells and compressors) during upset of conditions and other operational requirements.
Relief devices are provided to cover these situations and to maintain system control. To ensure safe
disposal and relief or blowdown flows, elevated flares with sterile areas are provided. These will be
primarily located at the FCS and are also be employed throughout the gathering system as required and
will be elevated sufficiently to ensure safe radiation intensities in the immediate vicinity.
If a well is producing below expectations it may be scheduled for remedial hydraulic stimulation, following
the general process described below.
Hydraulic fracture stimulation is a process using high-pressure pumps to inject stimulation fluid into wells
to open and connect tiny cracks already present in CSG reservoirs, known as natural fractures or cleats.
Sand is used to keep the created fractures open, and is referred to as a proppant.

Revision 8 December 2016
Hydraulic fracture stimulation fluid comprises water, sand and a minor amount of chemicals that aid the
stimulation process (e.g. viscosifiers, surfactants, pH control agents) and biocides that inhibit biological
fouling and subsequent downhole corrosion. Water and sand comprise more than 99% of the stimulation
fluid and chemical additives comprise less than 1%. QGC has implemented a Hydraulic Stimulation Risk
Assessment and Management Plan (QCLNG-BX00-ENV-PLN-000022) for well stimulation activities,
including the use of well stimulation chemicals and radioactive tracers. This describes the stimulation
process, potential risks from well stimulation and methods to manage and mitigate potential stimulation
risks.
Each well in which stimulation is conducted will require a pond or above ground storage tank. The
stimulation pond will have a construction footprint of approximately 1 ha, and an operational footprint of
2
approximately 2,000 to 5,000 m . Stimulation ponds are designed to contain the volume of stimulation
fluid required without exceeding the freeboard limit of approximately/typically 300 mm. Stimulation ponds
are lined with HDPE. All stimulation ponds used during the well stimulation process will be
decommissioned and rehabilitated. Used liner will be recycled or transferred to an approved waste
disposal facility.
Wells are worked over to reinstate production as required or to optimise the production from a well. In
addition to the initial workover, maintenance workovers are carried out as required. Workovers generally
require a workover rig (similar to, but smaller than, a drilling rig) to enable well flushes, pump changes
and other necessary work. Well workovers generally take about three days and the procedure is as
follows:
Bleed the well down and kill the well with water;
Pull the rodstring out of the hole;
Pull the tubulars and pump out of the hole;
Run in hole with a drill bit to clean out solids from the well using water and air; and
Run a new pump and production tubulars back into the hole.
It is very rare that gas is released in any measurable quantity during a workover. Gas is released in very
small volumes during the well pressure blow down and potentially while cleaning out the well with air. The
blowdown volume is expected to be within a range of nil to 25,000 scf per well depending on numerous
production, reservoir, and wellbore variables.
Wells are monitored continuously and maintained on a regular basis. Gas and water levels and pressures
of the wells are recorded as are the gas and water volumes produced from the well bore. Engines, gas
gathering lines, flares/vents, separators and PCP drive units in the field are regularly inspected and
maintained. A telemetry system provides real-time monitoring of performance to allow trending for
maintenance planning. Maintenance of the separator and the associated equipment between the
wellhead and gathering system includes:
Flushing the separator to clean out the silt and coal fines;
Cleaning coal fines and silt from the strainer;
Valve replacement for faulty or worn valves;
Cleaning of gas/water vents and replacement of worn o-ring seals in these vents;
Replacement of faulty or worn separator gauges;
Replacement of o-ring fittings;
Maintenance or repair of safety valves;

Gas gathering lines connect wells to FCSs. The disturbance areas generated by laying co-located lines
are given in Table 3 and Table 4.
Gas flowlines from wells to gas laterals receiving flow from a local group of wells;
Gas laterals collecting gas from a number of wells and feeding to a gas header; and
Gas headers collect from a number of laterals and feed to a FCS.
Where multiple gas flowlines merge, they enter a single larger gas header. Multiple gas headers may run
in parallel in the same right of way (RoW) as they approach the FCS from different areas of a gas field.
The following activities are involved in the installation of gathering lines from wells to a FCS:

Revision 8 December 2016
Pipe is installed directly into the trench. The larger diameter pipe lengths of up to 20 m will be joined
by butt fusion welding or by electrofusion. In areas of rock, pipe is padded for protection.
The pipe is left for 24 hours to ensure the weld is at maximum strength. The pipe is then installed into
the trench.
Pressure and leak testing (hydro testing using water with pneumatic air pressure) is conducted.
The trench is backfilled, which involves replacing all excavated material back in the trench over the
pipe and wheel-rolling the trench line to ensure sufficient compaction. Topsoil is then re-spread.
RoW patrols monitor for any subsidence to identify the need for repair and communications are had
with stakeholders as required.
During the process of laying the gathering line, a trace wire is also laid into the ground. The trace wire
allows detection of the pipe from the surface with a specialised instrument. Care is taken to lay the trace
wire directly under the pipe so that it provides an accurate representation of the pipes location.
Progressive construction of the gathering system is undertaken by multiple crews of workers. It is
expected that up to 2 km of pipeline per team or workfront will be laid per day in good conditions.
The majority of gas gathering lines (greater than 80%) will be located in the same RoW as water
gathering lines. The gathering system route is selected in consultation with affected landholders and will
use previously cleared or disturbed areas where possible. The UDP is used to inform the gathering
system route selection of areas of environmental, cultural or social significance, which are avoided where
possible. It is not always possible with linear infrastructure to avoid all areas that have very high or high
constraints, especially constraints that are linear in nature such as watercourses.
To minimise the need for maintenance of the HDPE gathering system lines, all lines are inspected above
ground prior to burial. This includes checking the integrity of welds and pipeline for any structural failures.
Once this check is completed, the pipeline is lowered into a trench and buried. Isolation valves are
installed at strategic locations to enable the lines to be isolated in the event of an emergency.
Surface structures including manifolds, end-of-line risers and isolation valves are inspected under an
integrity management plan. Water will collect at low points as the gas flows along the pipes. Low-point
drain (LPD) water is a result of water vapour from entrained water in the gas collecting and pooling in low
points. LPDs are required to allow for periodic servicing and removal of excess water within the gas
pipeline networks. Captured water quality is of good quality as it is condensate from water that is
entrained with the gas and drops out when the gas cools. The LPD water will be released to land in
accordance with the EA conditions.
QGC only releases water from low-point drains to land if it meets the quality parameters set out in the EA.
Field testing is carried out prior to planning any release to land. Where the indicator parameters exceed
the release limit, no release is permitted. The Field Environment Officer or Operator will make
arrangements to capture and transfer the low-point waters to a suitable untreated water storage pond.
The purpose of a FCS is to compress gas received from wells for transfer along the gas trunklines to a
CPP. FCSs in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas vary in their design, either being
electrically operated or gas operated. The existing FCSs in Kenya, Codie, Argyle, Windibri and
Berwyndale South blocks are gas driven. The Matilda-John, Lauren and Kate FCSs are electric. The two
designs are described below.

Diesel-fuelled emergency back-up generator and diesel storage for communications equipment;
Pipe work, including gas metering systems, buried gathering lines, trunk lines and pig receivers);
Vent or flare, (including sterile radius);
Car park and office;
Construction area comprising construction site offices, lay-down areas, workshops, civil works, etc;
Oily water management systems;
Communications systems, security controls and lighting;
Emergency Shut Down (ESD) and Fire and Gas (F&G) systems;
Potable water system (including safety showers) and service water system;
Small oil and chemical (corrosion inhibitor) storage; and
Inlet separation to remove free water.
Typically the combination of the above infrastructure requires an operational footprint of approximately 5
ha, with an additional minimum area of 2 ha required for construction working areas depending on site
conditions. Concrete foundations will be provided for all major equipment (e.g. compressor skids). The
remainder of the site will be gravel hardstand. Vegetation, topsoil and subsoil will be removed with soils
stockpiled separately for use in the rehabilitation of the site. Each FCS is fenced.
Gas will flow freely from the wells to the FCS, arriving at a pressure of approximately 172 kPag. Screw
compressors then compress the gas to approximately 1,450 kPag. Each compressor unit has a single
gas motor driven screw compressor. Each compressor unit will have associated coolers and separators,
to provide compression of the gas and have a capacity of 10 mmscfd. Using a multiple gas compression
unit arrangement allows for isolation of equipment/units during maintenance, inspections and shutdown
activities whilst maintaining partial production. Each compressor is situated at the required separation
distance to allow for safe construction and operation. The FCS compressors and motors may be housed
in an acoustic enclosure where required and where feasible and practicable. The enclosure will
incorporate air purge fans to maintain temperature and also incorporate fire and gas detection systems.
Existing and proposed gas screw compression units are driven by low emission variants of internal
combustion engines fuelled by natural gas. Six units consume approximately 800 kg of fuel per hour. A
small diesel generator with a dedicated diesel day tank is used to provide back-up of 400V / 230V
essential services. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is provided for maintaining control and
emergency shutdown (ESD) systems
Venting or flaring is proposed to safely deal with plant upset conditions or during the commissioning of
plant. The operators normally have full control over the plants performance, so the vent or flare is
normally not operating. This will be brought into service infrequently for scheduled plant maintenance
(planned compressor shutdowns), and unplanned plant shutdowns (e.g. plant shutdowns for fault
conditions such as gas or fire detection).
Approximately 20 L of corrosion inhibitor will be required per day and approximately 2,000 L is generally
stored on site. Approximately 1,000 L of screw compressor oil is stored on site. Storage for approximately
5,000 L of engine oil and 5,000 L of waste oil will be required for the gas engines. Corrosion inhibitor and
oils will be stored in a bunded storage area. Bunding will be included around units with the potential to
cause contamination, including compressors, motors, transformers, nitrogen generator and oil/fuel
storage.

Typically the combination of the above infrastructure requires an operational footprint of approximately 5
ha, with an additional minimum area of approximately 2 ha required for construction working areas
dependant on site conditions (e.g. topography). Concrete foundations will be provided for all major
equipment (e.g. compressor skids). The remainder of the site will be gravel hardstand. Vegetation and
topsoil will be removed with soils stockpiled separately for use in the rehabilitation of the site. Each FCS
is fenced.
Each compressor unit has associated coolers and separators, to provide compression of gas from 172
kPag to a maximum of 2,100 kPag. Using a multiple gas compression unit arrangement allows for
isolation of equipment/units during maintenance, inspections and shutdown activities whilst maintaining
partial production. Each compressor is situated at the required separation distance to allow for safe
construction and operation.
The FCS compressors and motors are housed in an acoustic enclosure where required and where
feasible and practicable. The enclosure incorporates air purge fans to maintain temperature and meet
requirements for hazardous areas. Fire and gas detection systems automatically shut down the affected
unit and de-pressurise the high pressure gas inventory upon detection of fire or a confirmed gas leak.
Approximately 20 L of corrosion inhibitor is required per day and approximately 2,000 L is generally
stored on site. Approximately 1,000 L of screw compressor oil is stored on site. Bunding is installed
around the units that have potential to cause contamination, including compressors, motors, transformers,
nitrogen generator and oil/fuel storage. Any condensed water that has been removed from the gas at the
FCS and any stormwater from bunded areas is passed through an oily water separation system and
clean water is pumped to a WTP or disposed of off-site. Separated oil is transported by a licensed waste
disposal contractor to an appropriate off-site facility. Stormwater from non-bunded hardstand areas drains
to the environment. A perimeter drain diverts stormwater to natural drainage points.
7.2.2.3. General
Communication systems include towers, approximately 30 m high at all FCSs, where these are not co-
located with a CPP. Low level lighting is installed as required. The FCS sites are not generally be manned
as monitoring, control and communications facilities provide process control of the FCSs by operators
located in a central control facility. Operators and technicians visit the sites regularly for inspection and
maintenance purposes. Fabrication and installation of pipe work and equipment consists of:
The lifting (on and off truck where applicable), transport, un-crating, assembly, and installation of all
equipment;
Installation of pipe supports on concrete footings with supports to include pipe clamps and saddles;
Installation of all pipe work, flanges, blind flanges, spectacle blinds, gaskets, plugs, fittings and other
materials and consumables;
Trenching for coating of underground pipe work, backfilling and removal of surplus soil;
Installation of magnesium anodes for cathodic protection of underground pipe work;
Supply and installation of vents;
Installation of all mechanical items;

The UIC runs in a north-westerly direction from the Ruby CPP to the Bellevue CPP and will contain one
or more linear infrastructure items including gas and water gathering lines, trunklines, power lines, access
tracks and/or fibre optic cables along its route. The UIC traversing the Kenya and Berwyndale South
Project Areas will contain the following infrastructure:
The Kenya and Berwyndale South component of the UIC corridor varies in width along its length from 25
m to 48 m with an average width of approximately 41 m. The length of the UIC within the Kenya and
Berwyndale South Project Areas approximates 47 km.
Gas trunklines transfer compressed gas from an FCS to a CPP, where the gas is further compressed.
Gas trunklines constructed under PL179 transfers gas from the Kate and Matilda-John FCS to the UIC
and north to the Bellevue CPP. Gas from the Codie FCS is transferred via trunkline to the Kenya CPP as
is gas from the Kenya and Argyle FCSs. Gas from the Windibri FCS and Berwyndale South FCS is
transferred to the Windibri CPP.
The total length of gas trunklines outside the UIC and not under their own PPL (176 and 2014) is shown
in Table 6. Trunklines are co-located with other trunklines where possible and with, underground 33 kV
powerlines and fibre optic cables.

Machinery required to conduct the above activities includes excavators, graders, trenching machines,
side booms, welding truck, boring machines and dump trucks.
Pipe is laid to a minimum depth of cover of 750 mm in accordance with AS 2885. Trunklines are hydro
tested prior to commissioning. Hydro testing involves the pumping of water under pressure into the
pipeline to determine whether there are any pressure losses and therefore any leaks in the pipeline. This
testing is undertaken over smaller lengths of the pipeline where possible to minimise the overall quantity
of water needed. Water may be sourced either from CSG water with low Total Dissolved Solids (TDS),
from bores, or from other approved sources depending on location and availability.
Chemical additives are not always required for hydro testing pipelines; however additives such as
corrosion inhibitors and biocides are used for the testing of steel pipes. Approximately 0.3 ML of water is
required per kilometre of 600 mm trunkline. For small pipe diameters, proportionally less water is
required.
The trunklines are operated on a continuous basis. The project life from construction through operation to
decommissioning and rehabilitation is expected to be at least 20 years. Routine monitoring and auditing
of trunklines will be conducted. Trunkline RoWs are progressively rehabilitated; however, areas above

pipelines will need to remain free of deep rooted vegetation to maintain pipeline integrity. An access track
may be maintained within the RoW besides the trunklines. Gas trunklines are designed, constructed and
operated in accordance with AS 2885 Pipelines Gas and Liquid Petroleum. Specifications for the gas
trunklines are likely to comprise the following:
Other key design features of the trunkline systems include the following:
The purpose of the CPP is to compress and dehydrate the gas for delivery to the high pressure Collection
Header and Export Pipelines. The CPP receives gas from FCSs via gas trunklines. Gas is pressurised to
its export pressure (~10 MPag), dehydrated and metered. Within the Kenya Project Area, gas reports to
the Kenya CPP. Some gas generated on the Kenya Project Area will also report to the Bellevue CPP to
the north, authorised under a separate EA. Within the Berwyndale South Project Area, gas reports to the
Windibri CPP. The design life of the Kenya and Windibri CPPs is 25 years.
The CPP construction footprint varies dependant on design and location. This represents the minimum
area required to safely and efficiently site all the components required for CPP operation. Kenya and
Windibri CPPs are gas driven.
The Kenya and Windibri CPPs are powered by gas motors with the option to change to electric should a
grid connection be established in the future. At the CPPs the gas is pressurised and dried to its export
pressure (~10 megapascals). The CPP uses two-stage reciprocating compressors to pressurise the gas.
Each CPP includes:

Revision 8 December 2016
Control rooms;
Car parks;
On-site oily water retention ponds of 0.5 ha each; and
Bunded areas for oil or chemical storage.
The CPP has two gas compression trains. Each train comprises a single 2-stage electric motor driven
centrifugal compressor set with associated coolers and separators, to provide compression of gas from
1,200 kPag to 10,200 kPag and a capacity of 220 mmscfd per compressor, or 440 mmscfd for the two
units combined. Utilising a gas compression train arrangement allows for isolation of equipment/units
during maintenance, inspections and shutdown activities whilst maintaining partial production.
Dehydration of the compressed gas is done using TEG units. The gas is dehydrated by the absorption of
water vapour into the liquid desiccant TEG. The gas is passed upwards through a column containing TEG
flowing downwards and this extracts the water allowing dry gas to pass to metering and onto the pipeline.
The TEG is then regenerated by evaporating the water using electrical heaters. The TEG is circulated
using dual electrically-powered pumps.
The CPP site is not normally be manned; however an Operations Centre accommodates local operations
personnel and will include workshops and warehousing. Monitoring, control and communications facilities
provide for process control of the CPP by operators located in the Operations Centre. Operators and
technicians visit the CPP site from time to time for operation and maintenance purposes.
The Kenya and Windibri CPPs are gas powered as are the Codie, Argyle, Berwyndale South, Windibri
and Kenya FCSs. Once construction is complete on the Berwyndale, Kate, Lauren and Matilda-John
FCSs power will be supplied from connection with the National Electricity Grid. The 132 kV power supply
will be stepped down to 33 kV for distribution to the field via underground or above ground powerlines.
Diesel generators with a dedicated diesel day tank will be supplied at each site that is electrically
powered in order to provide back-up power, including temporary power required until mains power is
connected. An uninterruptible power supply will be provided for maintaining control and ESD systems in
the event of loss of mains and back-up diesel power.
The volume of CSG water extracted from production wells is markedly variable and is based on
permeability, hydrostatic pressure, saturation, proximity to other wells and local geological and
hydrological conditions. Water production volumes peak at the commencement of well operation, while
gas production peaks after the first one to two years of operation.
Figure 9 illustrates the water transfer, storage and treatment network. Water is collected at wells,
transferred in a water gathering line to infield storages where provided or more commonly to RSPs. Water
is then transferred in a water trunkline from the RSP to a raw water pond located adjacent to a WTP,
where the CSG water is treated using Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology. Further treatment includes a
brine concentrator which will receive concentrated RO reject from the WTP and separate this into a more
concentrated brine stream and a treated water stream for beneficial reuse.
QGC is implementing an extensive groundwater monitoring network to establish baseline quality and
quantity measures in various aquifers.
During drilling water is used for primary well control, transportation of cuttings and washing and
conditioning of the well hole. The water is delivered in tanker trucks or via the pipe-gathering network,

with the required volume being in the order of 50,000 L (50 m ) per well. The water is stored on site either
in water trucks, tanks or in constructed drill pits/sumps. Where drill pits are used they are constructed with
upslope drainage to divert stormwater run-off around the pit. The drill cuttings are collected and stored on
site in drill pits.
Drill pits are dewatered and backfilled as soon as possible on completion of the drilling. Only firm drill
cuttings, with near neutral pH, and hardened cement slurry residue remain in the drill pits, if used. The
drill pits are backfilled and any remaining cuttings covered with at least 1 m of soil. Back-filled pits are
compacted into mounds to allow for future subsidence. A layer of topsoil is respread across areas
disturbed by pit excavation. Each drill rig has a mud tank to control water flows, act as a safety control
device and improve process efficiency.
Pilot production testing may involve the drilling of a number of wells in close proximity, with a pond for
coal seam water for each production test site. To reduce the number of E & A ponds a larger pond may
be constructed to hold the water from a number of test locations within one production site area.
Gathering lines to transport the water from the wellhead to the pond are also required. Production testing
periods vary, but typically for CSG in a highly prospective area, a minimum of 3 months and up to 12
months and beyond may be required depending on the results in the area. Small E & A ponds are
required as part of production testing.

The CSG water produced from well development is connected to a water gathering system. The total
length of additional water gathering lines in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas required by 1
November 2019 is approximately 1,072 km. The installation of water gathering lines follows the same
process as the gas gathering lines. The proposed water gathering lines will be co-located with the gas
gathering lines in most instances with the co-located disturbance area identified in Table 3 and Table 4.
The water gathering lines have the following design details:
Multiple water headers may run in parallel as they approach the infield storage ponds or RSPs from
different areas of a gas field.
Water trunklines transfer water from the RSPs to raw water ponds and WTPs. The installation of water
trunklines follows the same process as the gas trunklines.
7.3.5. Infield Storages, Regional Storage Ponds and CSG Water Storage Ponds
Infield storages can comprise either tanks or ponds and are used to store water temporarily before
transfer to the RSP. RSPs balance water flows between wells (via infield storage ponds where applicable)
and CSG water storage ponds located en route to the WTP. RSPs will provide storage at peak water, in
the case of a localised disruption to water delivery. Pump stations are installed at the RSPs to transfer
water into the water trunklines to the WTP. Table 7 describes the ponds within the Kenya and Berwyndale
South Project Areas expected to be constructed by 1 November 2019.

Revision 8 December 2016
The hazard consequence of each pond is determined by a suitably qualified and experienced person.
Ponds classified as Non-regulated Dams are designed and constructed, operated and maintained in
accordance with accepted engineering standards appropriate for the purpose for which they are intended.
All Non-regulated Dams have floor and sides made of material to contain the wetting front and any
entrained contaminants within the bounds of the containment system during its operational life, including
any period of decommissioning and rehabilitation.
Ponds classified as high or significant consequence (previously hazardous) are Regulated Dams.
Regulated Dams are constructed in accordance with EA requirements and the DEHP guidelines as
amended from time to time. They are typically constructed as balanced cut-to-fill with suitable excavated
material from the pond floor being used to construct a four-sided compacted earth fill embankment.
Ponds are constructed as enclosed structures with no external catchment.
QGC maintains a Regulated Dam Register as required by the EA. Dams are entered in the register when
design plans or Consequence Assessments have been lodged with DEHP. Table 7 above identifies the
Regulated and Non-regulated Dams in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas to be developed
by 1 November 2019.

Monitoring and inspection of regulated ponds takes place in accordance with QGCs Ponds Operational
Plan Guide and monitoring procedures. Annual pond inspections are conducted by a suitably qualified
person and reported to the DEHP in accordance with the EP Act. Monitoring is undertaken in accordance
with relevant EA conditions. QGC also has a detailed Groundwater Monitoring that has been
implemented at the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas.
QGCs water management activities include the operation of the Central WTP in PL228 (able to treat
approximately 112ML/d of CSG water) and a smaller Windibri WTP in PL201 (licenced to treat 6ML/d). In
accordance with the CSG Water Management Plan (CWMP) (QCLNG-BX00-ENV-PLN-000007), the
Central WTP will treat CSG water from the central and southern fields.
The Windibri WTP and Central WTP (CWTP) are designed as individual trains so that sections can be
brought online as required. The Central WTP is designed such that it can process up to 112ML/d of raw
water. While the overall Central WTP is not a mobile plant as such, it consists of a Relocatable WTP
(12ML/d) and Central WTP (100ML/d), collectively referred to as the CWTP. The Relocatable WTP
(RWTP) was constructed first to manage initial peaks in the water profile and is modular and generally
skid mounted to minimise on site construction. Construction of the CWTP followed the RWTP with the
construction and operation of the CWTP having the ability to treat up to 100ML/d.
Discharge of the waste streams from the Windibri WTP and CWTP (including RO reject) is to designated
ponds that receive RO reject, brine and other waste streams generated from the WTP process. The
WTPs treat coal seam water of variable quality and quantity such that product water from the WTP
reliably meets the desired end use. To enable a range of suitable uses of the product water, the raw
water is treated to a high standard providing treated water suitable for a wide range of beneficial reuses
including irrigation and industrial uses.
7.3.9. Process
The WTPs use RO technology to treat CSG water into a resource suitable for beneficial use. The CWTP
will enable at least 97% recovery of water, leaving less than 3% of the water as concentrated brine. The
water treatment process will involve the following:
Pre-treatment (i.e. solids removal): the systems will be designed to remove all contaminants which
could cause permanent and irreversible fouling of downstream processes, excessive frequency of
cleaning, or premature degradation.
Ultrafiltration (UF)/Microfiltration (MF): the systems will provide sufficient net usable filtration to
maintain design flow to the downstream RO membranes. It will consist of isolatable trains, allowing
independent operation of any or all of the trains.
Ion exchange: the systems will remove multivalent cations to maximise recovery in the RO system.

Revision 8 December 2016
Reverse osmosis: the three stage systems will consist of independent trains and a membrane
configuration will be selected that best maximises recovery and achieves the desired water quality
under all operating conditions. Each membrane train is proposed to be equipped with conductivity
measurement in the permeate line and permeate and brine sample points will be provided in the
equipment.
Brine concentration and storage: the systems will receive RO reject and separate this into a
concentrated brine stream and a purified water (distillate) stream. The system will be designed to
maximise the brine concentration whilst minimising total energy costs (refer Figure 10 and Figure 11).
The solids removal systems have been designed to remove all contaminants which could cause
permanent and irreversible fouling of downstream processes, excessive frequency of cleaning, or
premature degradation. Solids removal may include:

Revision 8 December 2016
Solids are proposed to be discharged into a sludge pond for drying and subsequent removal by a suitably
qualified waste removal contractor.
The Ultrafiltration or Microfiltration (UF/MF) membrane pre-treatment system provides sufficient net
usable filtrate to maintain design flow to the downstream RO membranes. The system shall allow
isolation of groups of treatment modules and individual trains without disrupting operation of the rest of
the system (the smallest membrane element or unit that can be replaced on a train). The system will have
a membrane pore sized not greater than 80 KDalton MWCO. The system will be modular, and skid
mounted and incorporates:
Feed pumps;
Automatic backwash system;
Clean-in-place (CIP) system;
Membrane modules;
Membrane integrity test facility; and
Instrumentation and Controls.
The pre-treatment system will have an automatic backwash system and manual actuation from the
control system and local control interface. The system will be designed to clean the membranes in place
without requiring their removal from skids.
Ion exchange systems to remove multivalent cations to maximise recovery of the RO system have been
incorporated into the design as follows:
The WTPs include features and pre-treatment necessary to protect the IX resins from fouling,
contamination or degradation by contaminants likely to exist in the raw such as iron, manganese etc.
Complete equipment for the preparation of regenerate solutions are provided including suitable gear
for introducing in a safe manner the acid, alkali or brine solutions to the respective units.
Vacuumatic handling of concentrated hazardous chemicals is preferred for safety reasons, however,
a pumped regenerant scheme can be used if demonstrated to be safe in all aspects of its operation
and it is fail safe.
The RO systems will consist of separate trains. Each train will be capable of operating either
independently or in combination with the other ones. The RO trains shall be skid-mounted and be
furnished with all headers and related piping, mounted on the skid. Each membrane train is equipped
with conductivity measurement in the permeate line, and permeate and brine sample points will be
provided in the equipment. Their number and location should be sufficient to locate and diagnose system
defects down to a single pressure vessel. The RO treatment system will be capable of automatic
shutdown upon a fault condition, and would have only manually initiated restart capabilities. Each RO
train will be capable of being isolated from other RO units for maintenance cleaning without affecting
operation of the other RO units.
7.3.9.5. Design
Site works at the WTPs will include construction of hardstand areas, roads, stormwater drainage, security
fencing, security systems, signage, site lighting, car parking and landscaping. The WTPs are not mobile,
however all equipment will be modular and generally skid mounted to minimise on site.

The bulk of the WTP process equipment will be housed within a single building consisting of concrete
slab with steel portal frame and cladding. The building and any external rotating equipment will have
noise attenuation to meet EA noise limits. All areas surrounding the WTPs will be paved or comprise
similar hard standing to allow easy access for vehicles and personnel. High traffic areas and turning
areas are concrete. In addition to the main process building, the following buildings form part of the WTP:
Switch rooms;
Washrooms;
Kitchen and dining room;
Sick room;
Conference room;
Administration;
Control room;
Store room; and
Laboratory.
All rooms will be air-conditioned and incorporate a fire detection and suppression system which reports
back to the control system. There will be CSG water feed pumping stations located on the WTP sites.
Each feed water pipeline will be fitted with an electromagnetic flow meter which can automatically control
(in any combination up to the capacity of the WTP) how much flow is drawn from each pond and sent to
the WTPs.
The water treatment process requires the use of chemicals to produce the optimal water quality and to
maintain the operation of the plant. Table 8 shows an indicative list of the chemicals and volumes to be
stored for use at the Central WTP.

There may be some minor storage of chemicals used during the construction of the Central WTP, such as
diesel and hydraulic oil for machinery and equipment and potentially WTP chemicals for the
commissioning of the plant. The chemicals to be used at the WTPs are low to moderate risk. The total
approximate quantity of all chemicals to be stored for the operation of the Windibri WTP is 44,000 L (N.B.
the Windibri WTP is no longer operational with chemicals removed from the site with future
decommissioning of the WTP to occur). The total approximate quantity of all chemicals to be stored for
the operation of the Central WTP is 706,000 L.
Class 8 Dangerous Goods are corrosive substances that can release toxic and flammable gases when
heated and when combined with incompatible substances. The storage and handling of chemicals at the
WTPs will be in accordance with AS3780 The Storage and Handling of Corrosive Substances.
Chemicals will be stored within a purpose-built roofed structure. The storage will be mostly within tanks
and moveable containers such as Intermediate Bulk Containers depending on the set-up of the WTP,
quantity required, transport and supplier arrangements. Hardstand will be placed on the floor of the
structure with bunding made from material that will withstand the substance stored within. A first flush
system will capture rainfall from the roof structure and any exposed hardstand areas. Bunding will not
drain to the first flush system, any spilt substances in the bund will be removed as waste material by an
appropriately licensed waste removal contractor. Small spills will be cleaned using an appropriate spill kit.
The WTPs will produce a number of waste streams. The largest of these is the RO reject stream which is
essentially saline water. This RO reject stream is further concentrated via mechanical vapour
recompression (or similar concentration process) to produce brine. This concentration process minimises
the total area required for brine management. Brine management at the CWTP consists of two (2) brine
storage ponds located adjacent to the WTP (referred to as Orana Ponds 2 and 3). The brine stream will
typically contain 185,000 to 280,000 S/cm. The TDS are primarily made up of sodium
bicarbonate/sodium carbonate (~40%) and sodium chloride (~60%).
It is proposed that Orana Pond 4 will store approximately 700 ML of RO reject (45,000-85,000 S/cm)
and cover an area of approximately 12 ha (disturbance area of approximately 19 ha). This storage is
required throughout the life of the CWTP as buffer storage between the RO plant(s) and the Brine
Concentrator (BC) Plant in the event of a BC Plant shutdown.
QGC will carry out a small brine trial in the Kenya WTP complex over approximately six (6) to eight (8)
months (dependant on weather) in 2017. The trial will entail taking a small volume, <0.8ML of brine of
approximately 160,000 S/cm from the Orana 2 and 3 ponds and further concentrating the brine up to
approximately 280,000 S/cm. The objective of the trial is to further concentrate the brine to understand

Revision 8 December 2016
the brines behaviour at and beyond the point of saturation. This will allow QGC to concentrate the brine
in the Orana 2 and 3 ponds ultimately reducing the volume held in the ponds and negating/deferring the
requirement for additional brine storage. Furthermore, this will reduce the disturbance footprint required
for future brine storage.
The CWTP and associated facilities, including the BC Plant, are to be powered by eight gas powered
generator units with an output capacity of approximately 3 MW each power generator. The CWTP will
have a total power generation of approximately 24 MW including redundancy. In addition to the power
generation component of the WTP, the brine concentration system will also utilise fuel burning equipment
including three 3.5 MW gas engines (direct drives for compressors) and three gas fired boilers to provide
steam for heating.
The water supply at the WTPs will be supplied by permeate and will be used for ablutions, laboratory, or
hose down services, safety showers, calcite filter and for disinfection. Inlet conductivity monitoring with
auto shutdown on abnormal conductivity measurement will be provided to protect against contamination.
Drinking water will be imported on site or supplied from local bores. All tanks, pipes and fittings used for
the storage of drinking water will use materials that conform to AS/NZS 4020. The design will also comply
with the requirements of the relevant statutory water authority.
QGCs sewage treatment infrastructure mainly comprises modular sewage treatment plants (STPs) with
the capacity to treat effluent to limits specified in the relevant EA.
The Windibri Camp operations hub is not in a sewered area and is not currently operational but had the
capacity of 30 KL/day or 150 equivalent persons (EP). The plant included an associated irrigation field of
approximately 2.5 ha. The offices and associated gas infrastructure of operations hubs have holding
tanks which are collected for offsite disposal to licensed treatment facilities.
The Kenya Camps are no longer operational. Sewage from the operations office at Kenya area is
collected from holding tanks for offsite disposal to licenced treatment facilities.
Waste is managed at Shell Australias QGC gas project in accordance with the requirements of the Waste
Reduction and Recycling Act 2011 and the Waste Reduction and Recycling Regulation 2011 and QGCs
Waste Tracking Procedure (QCOPS-BX00-ENV-PCE-000001) which applies to both construction and
operational activities.
The Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas contain a number of waste aggregation facilities where
bins for various waste materials are stored. Site personnel empty waste into these bins and the waste is
collected by waste management contractors. Waste management practise at the Kenya and Berwyndale
South Project Areas involves routine collection and aggregation of solid waste, recyclables and liquid
waste. The collection for disposal of the waste material is contracted to a waste management service
provider who manage each waste stream under their own procedures based on established waste
industry standard practices.

The three (3) camps located in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas: Windibri (located in the
Berwyndale South block); and Kenya 1 and Kenya 2 (located in the Kenya block). All of the
accommodation units and facilities have been decommissioned and the areas where the accommodation
units and facilities were located has been rehabilitated (Not certified).
Kenya Camp 1 RO plant (135,000 L of clean water, 90,000 L of bore water and 45,000 L of brine
water storage);
Windibri Camp RO plant (90,000 L of clean water, 45,000 L of bore water and a brine water pipeline);
and
Sewage treatment plant (Kenya Camp 1 and Windibri Camp only).
Approximately 20 to 25 personnel are involved in drilling a well, with approximately 10 people on site at
any one time during a 12 hour shift. A drilling camp, with temporary accommodation for up to 30
personnel, is required for each well, although one camp may be used over different periods as wells
within the vicinity of the camp are drilled. Each camp is powered by diesel generators, using
approximately 300 L of fuel per day. All camp waste is collected on site and transported to an
appropriately licensed waste disposal facility. Treated sewage effluent from the mobile construction,
drilling and completions camps will be released to land where it meets the limits specified in the EA or
directed to on-site storage or lawfully disposed off-site when weather conditions prevent release to land.
Drilling camps are not typically located on the well pad for health and safety reasons. They will be located
in proximity to a group of wells scheduled for drilling.
Small construction camps (similar to drilling camps) may be located at regional ponds sites in situations
where the workforce is located too far from the main accommodation camps. These construction camps
are located within the relevant pond construction site for a period of between six and eight months and
are removed once construction is complete. This process may also be adopted for other infrastructure
where the facilitation of the proposed workforce cannot be accommodated practicably in the main camps
and where remote location results in increased HSSE risks.
All chemical truck unloading bays are located next to their chemical storage facilities, sized to
accommodate the full length of the delivery vehicle. A spillage basin and lined concrete sump are
provided to collect spillage and drainage during the unloading operation. All stormwater is diverted from
the bunded area. A fixed or portable pump will be available on site to manage disposal of spilt chemical
wastes in an environmentally appropriate manner.
Access tracks are required for access to well sites, gathering line RoWs, trunkline RoWs and major
infrastructure. The Constraints Protocol in the UDP is used when planning new access tracks in order to

Revision 8 December 2016
minimise significant disturbance. In general, access tracks follow the routes of gathering and trunkline
RoWs.
Access tracks are usually 10 m wide to allow for a workover rig to access well sites over the life of the
project, unless project conditions require a reduction in width. There are occasions where access tracks
require greater room for stormwater, sediment and erosion management and control; this will be on a
case by case basis. Where required, improvements will be made to existing access roads. Major access
tracks will be sealed with bitumen or converted to all-weather access.
Communications infrastructure located in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas include
communication towers (generally positioned near the FCSs) and fibre optic cables most often co-located
with trunklines to minimise disturbance.
For the Kenya Area a communications tower is proposed on Matilda John near the Condamine State
Forest and on QGC owned land on Lauren associated with the FCS.
A number of existing and proposed laydown areas are located across the Kenya and Berwyndale South
Project Areas. These areas are used for storage of equipment and materials associated with the
construction of petroleum activities and incidental activities.
Borrow pits will be developed as necessary to provide aggregates for the construction of project
infrastructure. The location of borrow pits depends on a variety of factors including:
Whether a source of suitable quarry material can be identified from within QGCs tenements, or failing
this, within the local area or region;
The significance of impacts to the local environment; and
The significance of impacts on roads and traffic from transporting quarry material should the quarry
material be sourced from local or regional sources.
In the absence of sufficient geotechnical information to determine where borrow pits could successfully be
established, QGC originally proposed in its EA application a base case of one borrow pit per block.
However, with the advancement of Shell Australias QGC gas project and level of geotechnical
information available in respect of the project area, QGC and its contractors have determined that the
base case identified in the application is not implementable. This is predominantly because a suitable
amount of material is not always available in each block and because the operational implications
resulting from required truck movements to transport material from centralised borrow pits to construction
fronts (including potential social and safety impacts) are prohibitive. This has resulted in QGC utilising a
greater number of smaller-sized borrow pits.
These smaller borrow pits will be established at locations containing the target material with the least
environmental and social constraints. As part of this process, existing landholder borrow pits are identified
and used where possible to minimise the need for further disturbance. When determining the location of
borrow pits, potential sites will be assessed on a case by case basis through the UDP and utilising the
findings of the geotechnical investigation, to determine the appropriate size and depth of the borrow pit.
The aim of this undertaking is to minimise the environmental disturbance and impacts resulting from
borrow pit development by identifying the maximum amount of available material at that location.
The number of borrow pits required for the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas will depend on
the area and depth of each borrow pit and the quarry material it may supply.

More than 200t of concrete products will be required within the project area each year. At least one
concrete batch facility will be established within the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas for
construction of key infrastructure. It is likely that mobile concrete batching facilities will be used to
facilitate efficiencies in construction activities across the project area. Appropriately licensed contractors
will be engaged to operate any mobile concrete batching facilities to be used on site.
All concrete batching facilities will be bunded to enable the collection of contaminants, including concrete
process and wash water, and contaminated stormwater. Where possible, this water will be reused in
concrete production. Any release of stormwater to land will be managed to meet the requirements of the
EA.
Abrasive blasting and surface coating activities are anticipated to be undertaken during construction and
ongoing maintenance of the authorised activities within the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas.
Abrasive blasting is required for the cleaning of equipment and structures using a stream of abrasives in
either a wet or dry pressure stream. Once cleaning has occurred, appropriate surface coating using
materials such as paint or powder coating will be applied.
The production, fabrication, assembling, or building of metal products may occur within the Kenya and
Berwyndale South Project Areas, associated with the construction of authorised infrastructure such as
pump stations, pipelines and WTPs. All activities will be undertaken in accordance with the relevant
manufacturing controls and/or standards.

was prepared under state environmental conditions and applies to the life of the project. As discussed in
Section 6, the Constraints Protocol is used to ensure wherever possible that infrastructure is located
within areas that require the least amount of significant disturbance to the environmental. Mapping and
pre-clearance surveys are undertaken to identify the presence of environmental constraints and
determine if there are suitable alternative locations that will avoid or minimise potential impacts (refer
Section 8.1.2.1 below). Constraints mapping is consolidated in QGCs GIS system and applied over the
life of QGC activities. The constraints mapping in GIS is updated as additional information becomes
available.
The first stage of the UDP delivers integrated approvals of work scope. This is a strict internal process to
select and approve location of wells, infrastructure and field activities. All project infrastructure must be
approved through the UDP and, in particular, receive a series of functional endorsements culminating in
final approval. Among other things, this approval confirms that infrastructure locations are consistent with
the Constraints Protocol. Below are the key process stages that lead from an initial access and clearance
request through to final approval.
Proposed locations for infrastructure are documented and subject to multi-disciplinary review within QGC.
The locations are reviewed against the relevant constraints mapping held in the QGC GIS and a site
approvals team may further investigate identified or potential constraints. The investigation is usually
undertaken by a surveyor, a relevant construction representative, appropriately trained ecologists, cultural
heritage representative and a land access representative and appropriately qualified specialists where
required. Surveys may also be attended by landholders.
Take into account and reference previous ecological surveys undertaken in the area and relevant
new information on likely presence or absence of constraints;

Document the survey methodology, results and significant findings in relation to constraints; and
Apply industry accepted site assessment and ecological survey methods appropriate for each listed
threatened species, migratory species, their habitat and listed ecological communities.
Based on the result of survey, constraints and the proposed locations of infrastructure are confirmed. Site
data and reporting is collated and loaded into a second phase approvals package. Second phase
approval seeks to gain acceptance of the proposed alignment/siting from each of the internal QGC
disciplines prior to approaching the landholder for negotiations and agreements. It also confirms relevant
constraints, given approved location including any mitigation measures required as a consequence. The
second phase approval identifies any actions that must be implemented prior to final approval.
The final approval stage provides confirmation that land access has been secured and key outstanding
environmental permitting requirements are identified such that infrastructure can pass into execution
phase for final planning and construction. The final approval documentation includes non-standard or
infrastructure-specific conditions applying to construction and operation, including mitigation measures
required given local constraints identified through application of the Constraints Protocol.
The execution Project Managers utilise the conditions provided in the final approval to issue directions to
contractors involved in constructing the infrastructure and to ensure compliance with all environmental,
land and community conditions.
Conditions relating to the constraints identified above are specified in contractual documentation along
with approval conditions, QGC and BG Group standards, relevant management plans, operating
procedures, policies and processes to ensure the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP)
to be implemented by the contractor, reflects QGCs environmental commitments and obligations. To
ensure consistency in CEMP preparation reference is made to QGCs environmental performance
framework which sets out the minimum standard expected when a contractor submits their proposed
CEMP. The contractors CEMP is reviewed by the QGC field environment team prior to
mobilisation/implementation to ensure the CEMP meets all of QGCs obligations and requirements. The
contractors CEMP is a contractual key hold point that must be approved prior to any works being
undertaken. The field environment team then assesses the contractor against their CEMP commitments
throughout construction.
Environmental Management
QGCs management plans have been developed to ensure compliance with the approval conditions for
the construction of Shell Australias QGC gas project. Table 9 and Table 10 below identifies the EA
Schedules and the associated management plans and procedures that address the conditions stated
within the Kenya and Berwyndale South EAs and are intended to ensure compliance with those
conditions. The QGC management plans referenced have been previously submitted to government in
accordance with relevant approval conditions. For general conditions or performance based conditions
and those for which management plans are not applicable, QGC will comply with the requirements of its
approvals by implementing established industry environmental management practices.

Revision 8 December 2016
Compliance
Management of ongoing compliance with the conditions of QGCs approvals is achieved through a
comprehensive compliance program. The key elements of this program include:
During the operations phase of activities in the gas fields, QGC will also implement an Environmental
Management System (EMS) in accordance with the international standard AS/NZS ISO 14001 (refer
Section 8.1.3.2 below). These compliance programs are undertaken during execution and construction of
QGC infrastructure and will continue to be implemented during operations. Results from these programs
are fed back into the environmental management framework to ensure management processes
implemented during the execution/ construction phase are continually improved.
In readiness for facility start up and formal handover to operations for ongoing operation, the completion
of all pre-commissioning activities, utility systems and process systems shall be fully commissioned. As
part of this process the system will go through:
Typically the activity associated with the above process is associated with the transition from ongoing
preservation to operational maintenance. On start up the system will undergo a series of processes as
follows before the system is considered constructed:
Commence operations;
Undergo performance testing (against established acceptance criteria);
Correct operational deficiencies;
Close-out outstanding items; and
Agreement on carryover work (issue resolution plan and establish budget).
On completion of construction of a piece of gas field infrastructure, and to allow handover from projects to
operations, an environmental handover package is to be completed and will form one part of the
multidiscipline handover package.
8.1.3.2. Operations
Once construction of infrastructure and commissioning is complete, responsibility for compliance with
relevant EA conditions and general environmental performance is handed over to Operations. Operation
of QGC infrastructure will then fall under the remit of the QGC EMS (Operations).

Revision 8 December 2016
The QGC EMS is based on the methodology of Plan-Do-Check-Act and aims to ensure compliance with
BG Group requirements and legislative commitments and promote continual improvement. Effective
planning is required to identify those activities (environmental aspects) which could cause a significant
environmental impact. This process identifies where mitigation through the establishment of
environmental objectives and targets and implementation control procedures is required (refer Figure 13).
The UDP and the Constraints Protocol will continue to be used where relevant during operation of QGC
infrastructure. Management plans and other environmental procedures and processes relevant to
Operations will be developed under the overarching QGC EMS (Operations). The compliance processes
described above will also continue to be implemented during operation of QGC infrastructure to ensure
ongoing compliance with approval conditions. Results of compliance checks will be fed back into the
environmental management process to ensure continual improvement.

rehabilitation will commence on disturbance associated with buried pipelines within three months of the
completion of construction. For well pads, rehabilitation of areas not required for project operations will
commence within nine months of completion of construction. Rehabilitation is generally not required to
undertaken for seismic lines or irrigation areas as no significant disturbance to land is caused by the
activity. For all other types of infrastructure, rehabilitation commences within nine months of
decommissioning.
The total area of disturbance proposed to 1 November 2019 in the Kenya Project Area is shown in Table
13). The total area of disturbance proposed to 1 November 2019 in the Berwyndale South Project Area is

The Rehabilitation Plan contains information specific to each EA area and comprises:
Information specific to the Kenya and Berwyndale South Areas has been extracted from the Rehabilitation
Plan and provided below.
9.4.1. Objectives
Rehabilitation activities in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas must comply with Schedule H
of EA EPPG00878413 and Schedule G of EPPG00652513, which governs progressive rehabilitation for
significantly disturbed land and also details final acceptance criteria. Rehabilitating disturbed land within
the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas aims to ensure those sites are:
Rehabilitation activities aim to reinstate the pre-disturbance land use, in consultation with relevant land
holders and government departments. Vegetation re-establishment methods are selected on a site-
specific basis to reflect the agreed land use and analogue/reference condition to be achieved.

Revision 8 December 2016
9.5.1. Reinstatement
The following methods will be undertaken to stabilise and reinstate disturbed areas:
All temporary works provided for construction will be removed and fences and private roads disturbed
by construction will be reinstated in accordance with landholder agreements.
Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures (i.e. the construction of contour banks or
diversion banks) will be installed.
The area is to be inspected for hydrocarbon contamination and contaminated soil, if any, is to be
appropriately disposed of in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Disturbed areas will be re-profiled to the pre-disturbance profile (original surface contours) or as close
as possible to original survey of disturbance area.
Surface contouring is to be completed prior to re-spreading of topsoil. Contouring will focus on
drainage lines for surface water flows to ensure erosion potential is minimised.
Stockpiled topsoil shall be respread evenly over the original area after the disturbed area has been
re-contoured and after erosion control banks have been constructed. Topsoil will be sourced from the
designated stockpile and spread to all disturbed areas. Topsoil will be left rough to reduce erosive
potential. It will cover the entire disturbance area so there is no exposed subsoil. If there is limited
availability of topsoil and mulch is available they may be mixed where appropriate and in consultation
with the landholder. Where appropriate, QGC will reuse drilling mud materials in site rehabilitation
activities in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Compacted surfaces will be loosened where deemed necessary along contours and to a limited depth
to ensure no subsoil is ripped to the surface. Areas with hard set mud or clay will be ripped. Care will
be taken to avoid soil inversion if scarifying or ripping is carried out where topsoil has not been
removed. Any ripping or scarifying operation of topsoil will be restricted to a depth of 50 mm and will
follow natural contours to avoid soil erosion.
Where excavation has occurred for side-hill cut or other purposes, the areas will be backfilled with the
original material, and compacted to replicate the natural contours with sufficient surplus fill to
compensate for subsidence.
9.5.2. Decommissioning
Where rehabilitation cannot commence until infrastructure is decommissioned, the following activities will
be carried out prior to reinstatement:
Diversion and erosion and sediment control devices will be kept in place and maintained fully
functional until the area has been decommissioned.
Cut and fill batters will be profiled to re-instate the land surface.
Surface water will be diverted around contaminated areas to minimise water contamination. Surface
water from contaminated areas will be contained and treated.
Areas impacted by acid sulphate soils will be kept submerged or treated to prevent or minimise
environmental harm; and when gas transmission pipelines are no longer required they and
associated infrastructure (pressure valves, metering equipment etc.) will be decommissioned in
accordance with legislative requirements, Australian Standards and relevant industry codes of
practice.

Revision 8 December 2016
Depending on the land use to be re-established on areas of disturbance the following procedures for the
establishment of grass cover may be undertaken:
After topsoil has been respread to the appropriate depth it will be seeded with grass species
appropriate to the pre-developed land use. This may be a mix of native and exotic grass species,
native species only, or exotic species only depending on the final rehabilitation outcomes which are
required.
Depending on the infrastructure type, soil conditions and other site specific parameters, the soil may
be treated with an appropriate fertiliser mix prior to seeding. The resultant mixture will be spread
evenly over the area to be grass seeded at the appropriate rate. If ants are a problem, the seeds shall
be sprayed with a suitable ant repellent insecticide.
Immediately after the area has been seeded, it may be lightly harrowed. Any areas compacted due to
plant traffic will also be loosened by harrowing where required.
Seeding is to occur during the wet season, where practicable. If seeding occurs during the dry
season, supplementary water may be required for seeded areas until grass cover is established.
Gypsum application may be considered on areas of unstable or dispersive soils that are subject to
erosion, sealing or hard settling to assist with rainfall infiltration and rehabilitation of soil surface.
Weed infestations identified in the areas reinstated with grass will be controlled.
On sites where remnant vegetation has been cleared and the re-establishment of this pre-impact
vegetation community is required as the final outcome of the rehabilitation process, the following will be
undertaken:
Depending on the infrastructure type, local site conditions such as soil type and topography, and
landholder preferences, cleared vegetation will either be mulched, or retained as vegetation and
timber fragments for site rehabilitation purposes. If mulching is undertaken, a proportion of the larger
vegetation fragments may be retained for the creation of habitat during rehabilitation, where this is
safe and practical from a site access perspective and in accordance with the QCLNG Gas Field and
Pipeline rehabilitation Program Woody Vegetation Management Procedure (QCLNG-BX00-ENV-
PCE-000018).
Cleared vegetation, either mulched or otherwise, will be stockpiled within the site footprint during site
construction and operation for use in rehabilitation of the site.
Where it is practical to undertake respreading of vegetation this may aid in dispersion of the seed
bank across the site and establishment of native vegetation. Where appropriate, mulched vegetation
will be respread in a uniform manner and depth (to a maximum of 50 mm) and any vegetation
fragments retained for their habitat value will be respread evenly across the site at a density which is
aligned with the areas of adjacent uncleared vegetation. Mulch will either be placed over topsoil to a
maximum specified depth or incorporated in the upper topsoil layer prior to topsoil spreading to
enhance establishment of the seed bank and provide greater erosion control where this may be
required.
For sites where cleared vegetation has not been mulched, vegetation will be placed in regularly
spaced windrows along the contours of the site and away from drainage channels. Any vegetation
placed on the site will be located in a manner that it is safe and does not impede vehicle access to
the site.
Routine monitoring of the rehabilitation outcome in accordance with the rehabilitation monitoring plan
will be undertaken to assess the establishment of the native vegetation community.
Where natural regeneration of vegetation from the soil seed bank does not achieve rehabilitation
objectives within the first 12 months, supplementary seeding of native species in accordance with the
species present in the pre-clearance vegetation community may be undertaken.
Contaminated areas shall be identified, mapped, and treated to prevent or minimise environmental
harm. Contaminated soil will be removed from site and topsoil respread. Any removed soil will need

Revision 8 December 2016
The method adopted by QGC enables the matching of each site which is to be cleared for project
infrastructure, with a site from an established set of analogue or reference sites located across the project
area. Analogue sites have been selected to represent both the range of vegetation types and typical
vegetation conditions which occur across the project area and may be impacted during the course of
construction and operation activities. One analogue site can therefore be used to represent multiple
impact sites across the project area. This method has been developed to provide a tool to enable an
accurate assessment to be made, at the time of pre-clearance site surveys, as to what the rehabilitation
outcome should be for a specific impact site, based on returning the site to its previous land use and
condition.
Differing analogue site selection and assessment methodologies have been developed for remnant
vegetation and non-remnant vegetation, as well as to document cropping land condition.
QGC has selected a number of analogue sites across the project area to be used as rehabilitation
benchmarks and guidance for areas which will require rehabilitation to a remnant state. The method QGC
has developed for selection of this type of analogue sites uses Regional level BVGs at a scale of 1:
1,000,000 as the vegetation mapping unit. BVGs are based on higher-level grouping of REs which are the
standard mapping units for Queensland vegetation, land zones and variations in geology/landform/soils
within a land zone.
QGC has selected analogue sites to provide benchmarks for rehabilitation based on BVGs rather than RE
units as:
The project footprint is extensive in scale and dispersed in nature, encompassing a large degree of
RE variability and complexity. A higher level vegetation unit is required to identify analogue sites and
condition classes for this scale;
BVG units have a direct relationship with REs and also provide conceptually a more general
benchmark of condition; and
BVG units realistically reflect the variability of regenerating vegetation, as rehabilitation primarily aims
to restore structure and function to disturbed vegetation communities.
Across each of the defined BVG areas, the condition of the vegetation will differ due to the variability of
local site conditions. To ensure that there is an appropriate analogue site available to match each of the
impact sites which will be cleared for project infrastructure, analogue sites have been selected to reflect
three levels of vegetation condition: poor; moderate; and good quality across each BVG. The analogue
site which represents a condition class most aligned to the pre-clearance state of an impact site can then
be used to guide the rehabilitation of this site.

Revision 8 December 2016
To select the analogue site locations across the project area QGC developed a GIS model incorporating
BVG and RE mapping, existing QGC pre-clearance ecological survey data and site access constraints.
Model development initially involved the establishment of decision criteria based on landscape condition
and function to support the identification of the site characteristics of each BVG. A model was constructed
applying the decision criteria to the mapped BVG locations in order to delineate between condition
classes of each BVG. Model results were then used to select analogue sites across the project area
which represent BVGs of varying condition.
Following the selection of multiple analogue site locations based on the mapped BVG data, ground
truthing was conducted to validate the mapped data and ensure that the selected analogue site locations
were representative of the anticipated BVG and condition class. Sites determined to be a genuine
analogue site were then surveyed in accordance with the Queensland Governments BioCondition
assessment method (BioCondition: A Condition Assessment Framework for Terrestrial Biodiversity in
Queensland. Assessment Manual, Eyre et al. 2011). As the BioCondition assessment method is based
on assessment at an RE level, the field assessment was carried out within the RE which occurs most
commonly within each BVG across the Project area and is considered to be representative of that BVG.
Model development and ground truthing identified 12 BVGs across the QCLNG Project area which may
be impacted by infrastructure development. Multiple analogue sites representing the condition classes for
these 12 BVGs are located across the project area. Ten analogue sites representing condition classes of
five of these BVGs are situated within the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas. The ten analogue
sites with the Kenya and Berwyndale South Areas represent the following five BVGs: 12a; 16a; 16c; 17a
and 25a.
The locations of analogue sites and associated BVGs across the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project
Areas are presented on Figure 6 with location coordinates provided in Appendix C. Ecological data for the
analogue sites located in the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas are provided in Appendix D.
For project areas which have already been subject to clearing and where historical vegetation records do
not capture the parameters required to assess the pre clearance state as aligning with either a poor,
moderate or good analogue site, the required rehabilitation outcome shall be a moderate condition.
Analogue condition classes for non-remnant (i.e. vegetation that has been cleared) have been derived
from the Grazing Land Management Framework (GLM) and associated Stocktake field assessment
methodology and Land Type Standards, established by Queenslands former Department of Primary
Industries (QDPI 2004). GLM is based on coverage of perennial/preferred grass types, soil condition,
woodland condition and weed infestation and uses the Stocktake methodology as a tool for land
managers to assess land condition and determine paddock carrying capacity. Land Type Standards
provide management details, where a land type is an area of grazing land that has characteristic patterns
of soil, vegetation and landform that are easily recognised by landholders in a region.
Project disturbance areas in non-remnant vegetation will be aligned with the following analogue site
descriptions adapted from the GLM to reflect site stability and vegetation community function rather than
land productivity:
A condition or good condition - Good coverage of grasses, with greater than 80% grass coverage
and less than 30% bare ground; no significant weed infestations; no erosion and good soil surface
condition; greater than 5 ground cover species present; no sign, or early signs, of woodland
thickening.
B condition or fair - Some decline in grasses with 60-80% grass coverage and increase in bare
ground (between 30 and 60%) some decline in soil condition, some signs of previous and/or current
susceptibility to erosion; 3- 5 ground cover species present; some thickening in density of woody
plants.
C condition or poor - General decline of grasses with 10-60% grass coverage and greater than 60%
bare ground; obvious signs of past erosion and/or susceptibility currently high; 2-3 ground cover
species present; general thickening in density of woody plants.

Revision 8 December 2016
D Condition or Very Poor - General lack of any perennial grasses or forbs (less than 10% coverage);
severe erosion or scalding, resulting in hostile environment for plant growth; 1 or less ground cover
species present; thickets of woody plant cover over most of the area.
Monitoring of rehabilitation progress for non-remnant sites will be undertaken by monitoring each site
against the parameters for the respective analogue condition class. The Land Type standards provided
under the GLM will be used to provide guidance regarding appropriate re-vegetation options and land
management practices, particularly in the advent corrective action is required to modify rehabilitation
performance.
The method which QGC has developed to identify analogue site condition for non-remnant vegetation is
based on the GLM for the following reasons:
For project areas which have already been subject to clearing and historical vegetation records do not
capture the parameters required to assess the pre clearance state as aligning with either an A, B, C or D
analogue site, the required rehabilitation outcome shall be a B or fair condition.
Land that is cultivated and for which the GLM system and BVG approach described above is inapplicable,
will be reinstated to the equivalent features prior to disturbance. Records are to be maintained of crop
type and composition prior to clearance and features/characteristics of this land use are incorporated into
the rehabilitation program as required.
Surveys of areas to be disturbed by QGCs activities are undertaken prior to vegetation clearing. The
purpose of the surveys is to confirm desk-top assessment results and to document:
Land use;
Vegetation type/RE including collection of data on defined vegetation parameters to enable matching
with a pre-determined analogue sites in order to provide benchmark information for rehabilitation and
monitoring purposes;
Soil type (based on ground-truthing of REs);
Habitat value; and
Presence/likelihood of threatened species.
QGC has developed a Pre-clearance Data Collection Guide as part of the suite of documents associated
with the Rehabilitation Plan to provide a standardised method for the assessment of remnant and non-
remnant vegetation and ecological condition across the Project prior to the commencement of vegetation
clearance. Guidance focuses on assessing vegetation condition using:

The field assessment method adapted from the GLM and Stocktake methodology for assessing non-
remnant condition.
While the extent of BVG mapping and model development makes it unlikely that any Project disturbance
area will occur in a BVG for which an analogue site has not been developed, if this does occur, pre-
clearance survey data for the parameters identified in Table 15 below will be used to define the
performance criteria and benchmark values to be achieved by rehabilitation at that site. For cropping land
sites, records will be collected at pre-clearance surveys which identify crop type and composition.
Pre-clearance surveys of disturbance areas will utilise the assessment methodologies developed by QGC
for either remnant or non-remnant vegetation to assess each location against defined parameters and
identify the appropriate analogue site against which site rehabilitation will be compared. The parameters
for remnant vegetation in Table 15 were assessed at the ten analogue sites located across five BVGs
within the Kenya and Berwyndale South Project Areas and will also be assessed during pre-clearance
surveys of each disturbance area within mapped remnant vegetation. These parameters are used to
define analogue sites and are incorporated in the development of detailed performance criteria for
assessment of rehabilitation success. Monitoring of rehabilitation will also focus on these parameters in
assessing the development of rehabilitation in nearing final acceptance criteria.
Defined and measurable performance criteria have been developed that directly relate to the EA
conditions and will enable QGC to measure both progress and success throughout the rehabilitation
process. The performance criteria are based on the four objectives of rehabilitation and incorporate the
parameters in Table 15 as measured at the analogue sites.
Satisfaction of the criteria will help ensure rehabilitation meets final acceptance criteria (EA Conditions)
and indicates that the post-disturbance area is developing toward the appropriate analogue site.
Parameters of the analogue site/reference land condition relevant to individual disturbance areas have
been incorporated into the performance criteria to be achieved by rehabilitation as it progresses toward
meeting the final acceptance criteria in the EAs.

Revision 8 December 2016
A Rehabilitation Monitoring Program (herein referred to as the Monitoring Program) has been developed
to provide QGC with mechanisms to review the progress and effectiveness of rehabilitation works
undertaken across the infrastructure types associated with the gas fields and pipelines.
The monitoring program has been based on the aspects of rehabilitation relevant to the rehabilitation
objectives, as detailed in the performance criteria, and based on the following timeframes:
Within three months after completion of rehabilitation works to determine whether initial reinstatement
and decommissioning activities have been successful in achieving their objectives;
Annually for the first five years to determine whether the site has stabilised and vegetation is
establishing.
Site inspection checklists will be used during monitoring, to be undertaken by QGC personnel with
appropriate environmental qualifications and experience to undertake the review of rehabilitation works.
The checklists focus on parameters of rehabilitation that reflect the four objectives (i.e., safety, stable
landform, non-polluting landform and sustainable agreed post-disturbance land use) and are specific to
the timeframe within which the monitoring is being carried out. The inspection checklists enable QGC to:
To ascertain the progress of rehabilitation over the timeframes listed above, the checklists are to be
completed as follows:
Each checklist item is assessed as either sustainable, continued maintenance or corrective action
required;
The results will be summed for each column and input into a rehabilitation tracking spreadsheet
(discussed further below);
The total results will be compared against the previous inspection results;
As an indicator of performance:
o The majority of checklist items should be marked as continued maintenance during the initial
rehabilitation stages;
o Over time, checklist items should be marked as sustainable, indicating that rehabilitation is
successful;
o Where there is an increase in the need for corrective actions, immediate remedial action will
require assessment; and
o Where maintenance outcomes are static, remedial actions may be required to achieve a
sustainable landscape.
Where rehabilitation aims to be analogous to BVGs previously occurring on the disturbance area,
benchmark values have been defined for each parameter over time intervals relevant to the development
of that ecosystem. Monitoring data obtained using the inspection checklists will be compared to those
benchmarks when assessing rehabilitation as either sustainable, continued maintenance or corrective
action required. At the point in time that rehabilitation is deemed successful, the benchmark values will
correspond to the relevant EA final acceptance criteria.
The monitoring program uses a rehabilitation performance tracking tool to analyse monitoring data in
order to determine whether rehabilitation of the site is progressing at a rate that will meet benchmark
values and final acceptance criteria within the anticipated timeframe. The tool collates and graphically

represents the data for interpretation and reporting purposes, and contains trigger points for specific
remedial action where there is an increase in, or high volume of, corrective actions.
A trend graph will be collated from the monitoring data for each site to demonstrate over time that:
There is a decrease in the need for continued maintenance and corrective actions at that site; and
Benchmark values of analogue sites are being achieved by the rehabilitation and the site is
progressing toward meeting final acceptance criteria.
The requirement for corrective action will be assessed where analysis of monitoring data indicates that
rehabilitation benchmarks are not being achieved and/or where there is a failure to meet one or more of
the aspects/parameters reflecting the four objectives of rehabilitation (i.e. corrective action required is
selected for that aspect in the inspection checklist).
Corrective actions will vary in scope and scale depending on the issue needing to be addressed and may
include direct seeding or planting of tubestock where natural regeneration of native vegetation is not
occurring. Corrective actions will be documented and a non-scheduled inspection undertaken to review
the success of those actions in addressing the issue.
The period of the PoO is not changing and as such there is no update to the amount of FA required.
