203 Tooheys Road Bushells Ridge NSW 2259

Dear Sir/Madam,
This is in reference to the proposed Asphalt plant at 203 Tooheys Road,Kiar,NSW.
I would like to ask if an environmental survey study has been completed in and around the proposed area. If so,can I access it. If a survey has not been completed,is one going to be carried out and will residents be able to access it. We are all aware of the carcinogenics that are in and expelled through the making and processing of asphalt.
The site will affect all areas when the wind blows from north,south,east and west.

My property on Bushells Ridge Road will be affected. It will affect our tank water, but also,I have a eucalypt plantation. Private zoos with koalas can access this plantation to cut gum branches to feed to their koalas. We do not want chemicals drifting onto this plantation. It is a concern to us.
My next concern is that if this is to gain approval,the trucks carrying these substances will travel along Tooheys Road,which at present is a gravel road. It is not a road built for this sort of traffic. Then they will travel along Bushells Ridge Road, which again is not suited to the large vehicles and will be damaged by their usage
The roads in and around Wyong and Lake Macquarie are not good now, has this been considered for their proposal? If not,it will be a possible dangerous road to travel on,as most do not travel at the correct speed.

As a concerned rate payer,I would appreciate your response to my concerns.
Yours sincerely,
B.Drake

Development Application No. 1511/2016 Asphalt Plant 203 Tooheys Road Bushells Ridge NSW 2259

I wish to object to Development Application No 1511/2016 on the following grounds listed below.

1. Air Pollution of Poly Hydrocarbons (PAH) will be admitted to the Air from this plant this will entry to the atmosphere. When the winds blow in the direction of a southerly the residential of Bushells Ridge Road, Hue Hue Road, and Tooheys Road will be affected by the PAH emission from this processing plant which will then in turn fall on our roofs of the houses and this will then in turn affect/contaminate our domestic drinking water.

2. Residents Tank Water will have PAH in their domestic drinking water. Also Dam water for Stock, water for the native animals will be contaminated and cause deaths to native animals and birds. There has been sightings of Dingo’s in Tooheys Road and also Charmhaven to Wyong areas. These dogs are protected. In the EIS there is only mention of the Koala inhabitant, but there are many other native species in this area that have not been taken into consideration.

3. On Tooheys Rd and Bushells Ridge Rd and Hue Hue Road there is a Environmental Protection on these properties which was imposed by Council.

4. On our property there is environmental protection for Glider Squirrels.

5. There is vast amounts of native animals birds plants which will be affected by Air Quality and the list goes on.

6. We have great concerns for Creeks and Waterways close to this Proposed Asphalt Plant with run off water, as well as diesel from the tanks that will be placed on this site this will affect marine life in these streams. If there is a diesel spillage on this site where will the run off go to?

7. Roads infrastructure is inadequate for Bushells Ridge Road and Tooheys Road are a Rural road with five School Buses a day on Bushells Ridge Road some sections two Buses cannot pass one another due to the width of this Road. These roads are not constructed for Heavy Vehicle traffic that will be required for construction of this plant. Previous developments on this road have caused destruction of the Tar Sealing.

8. The section of Bushells Ridge Rd in front of our house is laid on contaminated Soil. This cannot be disturbed, and if the tar surface breaks up this tar surface has to be replaced immediately to prevent contamination to our home and domestic water. This sealing of this road in front of our home was instructed by the EPA this contaminated foundation for this section of this road was supplied and laid by Wyong Shire Council.

9. If this industry cannot meet EPA and Environmental standards now at Doyalson where this company has operated for years, how will they meet the EPA and Environmental standards at a new site in Tooheys Road?

10. How can this be economically viable to build a new processing plant at Tooheys Road when the already established plant at Doyalson that could be upgraded at a less cost than building a new plant. The upgrade will cost less at the established plant which can be upgraded to meet the EPA and Environmental standards?

11. How can this plant meet the standards when it stated in EIS that hot asphalt will be placed in trucks already and covered with a tarp? How will a spillage be controlled and how will this affect traffic on the link road or any other roads that will transport this material?

12. There has been no consideration for the residents of these areas with the EIS stating that the plant will be operating twenty four hours seven days a week. What noise constraints have been considered for the residents of these areas?

Yours faithfully
Mr B & Mrs J Cross

Development Application No. 1511/2016 Asphalt Plant 203 Tooheys Road Bushells Ridge NSW 2259
I am concerned about the Development Application No 1511/2016 as I live close to the proposed plant and worry about the health of my family, myself and the animals affected by the pollution that will be emitted.

I would be reassured by an independent and unbiased report which provides evidence to support that the pollution involved will be contained and not affect anything around the plant.
