The method for disposal of packaging is set out in OGNZL’s Disposing of Explosives and Packaging Procedure and involves controlled destruction by a Certified Handler at a designated controlled-access burn-off site. This procedure will be followed at all times. If required, ANFO may be disposed of by dissolving with water; this is to be done under direct supervision of an authorised person. Where the quantity of explosives to be disposed of is significant (>10 kilograms packaged product), it will be stored and returned to the supplier for disposal. Hazardous waste associated with the use of ANE and gasser within the WUG includes the empty IBCs which are removed to the surface, collected in their designated area of the storage compound in the SFA, before removal off site to an authorised hazardous waste facility. Any hazardous waste generated through a spill event is to be notified to the Manager-Sustainability . The Manager ensures that disposal is in accordance with the relevant OGNZL Compliance Standards, and Regional and Local authority requirements.
