which found that even with a number of conservative inputs, criteria for the protection of human health is met at all locations around the surface connections. The risks to people, property and the environment from a fire at the surface facilities area of the Willows Road portal entrance site is low and managed through site and equipment design (e.g. separation of incompatible substances, combustible material and ignition sources and provision of fire fighting facilities) staff training, and emergency response plans. The proposed hazardous substances storage locations are isolated from public access. The environment is considered sensitive to the effects of a spill of diesel or spill of packaged goods. The risk to the environment will be managed through the site design (e.g. proposed spill containment measures including double skinned tanks, sealed refuelling areas, bunded storage areas and provision of water treatment for runoff arising from areas where these substances are stored or used) and operational procedures (e.g. spill response plan, unloading and safe handling procedures). Taking into account these controls, the effects on the environment from the use and storage of hazardous substances have been assessed as less than minor and consistent with the HDP objectives and policies for hazardous substances.
