buyer for the site it was decided to undertake remediation of the site to enhance the site value and estimated return to EBAC creditors. Rehabilitation of the site requires demolition of the power station and possibly also the briquette factory. The demolition is expected to generate approximately 10,000 m3 of friable (Class A) and (Class B) asbestos containing material (ACM). This could include lagging, sheeting, refractories and asbestos gasket contaminated steel. The bulk of the ACM is expected to be asbestos cement sheeting. To safely dispose of the ACM generated from the demolition, EBAC are proposing to construct an asbestos landfill at a suitable location on the site. The proposed landfill will accept ACM generated from the site only and will not accept material from off site. EBAC are seeking approval for a landfill with a total airspace of 15,000 m3. This will be achieved by constructing two below ground cells. The primary cell of 10,000 m3 will be constructed first and the secondary cell of 5,000 m3 will only be constructed if the quantity of ACM generated is greater than the expected 10,000 m3. The maximum operating life of the landfill is expected to be two years. Detailed design for landfill construction is described in 2.3. Figure 1: Regional location plan of the Morwell Power Station at 412 Commercial Road, Morwell, Victoria. The site for the proposed landfill is in Figures 2 to 5 below. Figure 2: General overview of the EBAC site Figure 3: Location plan showing the boundary of the site and the proposed locations of the primary and secondary landfill cells Figure 4: Location plan for the Morwell Power Station showing planning zones
