3 1 EPA OBSERVATIONS 1.1 EPA received a report titled Targeted Environmental Site Assessment, CFA Training College, Bangholme Campus dated April 2015 and prepared by Cardno Lane Piper, which was prepared following an investigation of potential contamination at the premises. An EPA Officer reviewed the report and: Read on page 33 that soil samples from six bore locations (SB06, SB17, SB18, SB19, SB26, SB35) recorded photo-ionization detector (PID) readings greater than 50ppm, indicating the potential presence of hydrocarbon contamination in those areas Read on page 34 that soil sample location SB12, in close proximity to the eastern boundary of the site, reported a perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) concentration exceeding the adopted criteria for the protection of ecosystems Read on page 34 that two soil sample locations reported perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) concentrations above the laboratory limit of reporting (LOR) but below adopted assessment criteria Read on page 34 that metals (including arsenic, chromium, copper, nickel, vanadium and zinc) exceeded the adopted criteria for protection of ecosystem at 32 soil bore locations Read on page 48 that surface soils impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons and metals which exceed the adopted criterion for the protection of ecosystems are primarily located in the vicinity of the above ground storage tanks (ASTs) Read on page 34 that soil sample location SB08, located in the old sludge drying beds of the former sewage treatment plant (STP) reported the highest concentration for copper and zinc, and the only exceedance for arsenic Read on page 37 that one sediment sample was collected from the on-site dam in the south west corner of the site, reporting a PFOS concentration below adopted assessment criteria and zinc and nickel above adopted assessment criteria Read on page 44 that two dam water samples, one near surface and one deeper were collected from the dam in the south west corner of the site, with both samples collected reporting: (a) PFOS concentrations of 2.37 and 2.7 µg/l respectively, above the adopted assessment criteria; (b) PFOA concentrations of 0.15 and 0.16 µg/l respectively, below the adopted assessment criteria; and (c) Coliforms concentrations of 2,900 and 16,000 orgs/100ml respectively Read on page 44 that the deeper dam water sample reported total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) fraction C16-C34 concentration of 0.62 m/l, above the adopted assessment criteria Read on page 25 that groundwater is conservatively classified as Segment B in the State Environment Protection Policy (Groundwaters of Victoria) Read on page 24 that the inferred groundwater flow is in a north-westerly direction towards Patterson River, and in a westerly direction towards Port Phillip Bay Read on page 24 that groundwater was intersected at depths of 5 to 6m below ground level, and that the standing water levels had risen to depths ranging from 0.39 m to 1.38 m below ground level, representing the potentiometric surface and indicating that groundwater is confined at the site Read on page v that metals, mainly arsenic, cadmium, copper, manganese, molybdenum vanadium and zinc were detected at various concentrations in groundwater. Copper and zinc were detected in all Notice ID: EPA Victoria T: 1300 EPA VIC ( ) E: contact@epa.vic.gov.au Page 3 of 9
4 groundwater bores above the protected beneficial use criteria for the protection of ecosystems Read on page v that total dissolved solids (TDS) was reported at very high concentrations in groundwater bore GW03, indicative of the ingress of contaminants Read on page vi that groundwater at the site precludes the protected beneficial use for the maintenance of aquatic ecosystems and primary contact and recreation Read on page 39 that PFOS was detected in three out of three groundwater bores (GW01, GW05 and GW06) at concentrations exceeding the adopted assessment criteria Read on page 40 that PFOA was detected in three out of three groundwater bores (GW01, GW05 and GW06), with one sample exceeding the adopted assessment criteria Read on page 40 that 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonate (6:2 FtS) was detected in groundwater bore GW05 at a concentration exceeding the adopted assessment criteria Read on page 46 that a sample collected from the outlet of the above ground storage Green Tank reported perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) below adopted assessment criteria. 1.2 EPA obtained and reviewed a report titled Bangholme Water Outlet Sampling dated 10th July 2015, prepared by Senversa. An EPA officer: Read on page 8 that all samples collected from the potable water outlets reported PFC concentrations less than the laboratory LOR Read on page 8 that eleven out of fourteen samples collected from training water outlets detected PFOS and PFOA concentrations greater than the laboratory LOR, but below the adopted primary contact recreation criteria. 1.3 On Monday 24th August 2015 at 0955hours, EPA officers attended the Bangholme campus of the Country Fire Association (CFA) at the corner of Thompsons Road and Worsley Road to conduct a comprehensive site inspection, using knowledge gained from the review of the relevant environmental assessment reports for the site and to investigate possible contamination of soils, sediments, groundwater or surface water. The EPA officers: Were informed by the Practical Area Drill (PAD) Supervisor that they collect, treat and recirculate water at the site including stormwater runoff from roof buildings and roadways at the site Were informed by the PAD Supervisor that recirculated water is directed to the north mega litre tank to undergo chlorine dosage treatment and then into the south mega litre tank to undergo a second chlorine dosage treatment Were informed by the Project Manager that recirculated water is tested every two weeks Were informed by the PAD Supervisor that fuel sources used on the site include clean wood; typically offcuts from first use timber, hay, petrol, and jet fuel. No diesel is used in training activities Were informed by the PAD Supervisor that no burning activities are undertaken in the north-west portion of the site and runoff within this area flows to storm water Observed a small dam in the south-west corner of the site with vegetation and algal growth covering the surface. Noted that the drying pans in the adjacent Eastern Treatment Plant premises south of the small dam are up gradient of the dam embankment.

6 2 REASONS FOR VIEW FORMED The premises has been used for firefighter training since During this time a range of petroleum hydrocarbon fuels, various flammable materials and firefighting foams containing perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been used at the premises. Contamination by perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and petroleum derived compounds has been found in land, surface water and groundwater at the premises. The premises continues to be used for firefighter training and the adjoining premises are used for recreational, commercial and industrial uses. The concentrations of contamination make or are reasonably expected to make the land, surface water and groundwater detrimental to any beneficial use made of the land, surface water and groundwater. I have therefore formed the view that, contrary to Section 45(1) of the EP Act, pollution of land has been permitted to occur on your premises and Section 39(1) of the EP Act, pollution of water, which includes groundwater, has been permitted to occur on your premises. On this basis, and considering the observations previously stated, I have formed a view and I am satisfied that you have caused or permitted pollution pursuant to section 62A(1)(b) of the EP Act, and I direct you to undertake the clean up and ongoing management measures as specified in this notice. On this basis, and considering the observations previously stated, I have formed a view and I am satisfied that you have caused or permitted pollution to occur. I have formed the view that this non-compliance, or likely non-compliance, must be remedied. Your remedy must meet the requirements listed in this notice.
