It was raining with a light breeze at the time of the inspection. The cap was in good condition and was
showing no signs of slumping. There was some ponding present, but the inspection was during a rain event,
thus this would be expected. There was evidence of good stock rotation and

One solution would be to place an oliophillic mat below the pump to capture any hydrocarbon while
allowing rainwater to drain, this was discussed with staff at the time of the inspection. Also discussed was
the purposed and use of plastic matting under the rig. For some areas plastic matting is suitable, however
for others the matting needs to be used to capture solid/liquid that falls from the

material had been recently deposited at the cleanfill, but a visual inspection confirmed that there was no
prohibited material. The material had originated from the site itself. A

other issues were noted around the site.
