Purpose This document has been prepared to assist with ensuring the rehabilitation and restoration for ancillary facilities is conducted and completed in accordance with consent condition objectives and requirements and provide assurance to the Planning Secretary. 2. Scope This document applies to all rehabilitation of ancillary facilities required under Condition D54. 3. Definitions Key term relating to this plan. Term Definition Ancillary A temporary facility for construction of the development including an office, facilities accommodation, and amenities compound, construction compound, material crushing and screening plant, materials storage compound, maintenance workshop, testing laboratory and material stockpile area 4. Work instruction 4.1. Objectives The rehabilitation objectives for the project are detailed within condition D54 of the Infrastructure Approval. These objectives for the ancillary facilities, accommodation camps, and the earthworks material site are: • safe, stable and non-polluting; • progressively rehabilitate the site as soon as possible following disturbance; • to be decommissioned and removed, unless the Planning Secretary agrees otherwise; • restore land capability to pre-existing use; and • ensure public safety at all times. In addition to these objectives Condition D54 requires that rehabilitation of these areas must be completed ‘to the satisfaction of the Planning Secretary’. The objectives per the Infrastructure Approval are listed below in Table 1. Feature Objective Ancillary facilities, accommodation camps, earthwork Safe, stable and non-polluting material sites, the existing 220 kV transmission line Progressively rehabilitate the site as soon as between Buronga substation and the NSW / Victoria possible following disturbance border (Line 0X1), and the temporary bypass To be decommissioned and removed, unless the transmission line between Tower 1 and Tower 19 of Planning Secretary agrees otherwise existing transmission line 0X1. Land use Restore land capability to pre-existing use TBC Rehabilitation Plan – PEC-West, Work Instruction Revision 0 3 | _________________________________ BUSINESS PRACTICE DOCUMENT ________________________________________ Feature Objective Community Ensure public safety at all times 4.2. Implementing the objectives Objectives Transgrid response Safe, stable and non-polluting An Erosion and Sediment Control Strategy (ESCS) was implemented during construction and is included in the Stage 2 Soil and Water Management Plan (Appendix A). The ESCS was developed in line with the principles and requirements in: • Managing Urban Stormwater – Soils and Construction, Volume 1 (Landcom 2004), commonly referred to as the ‘Blue Book’; • Managing Urban Stormwater – Soils and Construction, Volumes 2A and 2C (NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water 2008); • Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control (IESCA – 2008); • Transgrid’s HSE Guideline; and • Guidelines for Controlled Activities on Waterfront Land (NRA 2018). The ESCS was utilised in the development of the Progressive Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (PESCPs) that the Proponents contractor (Elecnor) continues to use in the reinstatement and rehabilitation across the entire project footprint (i.e. not limited to ancillary facilities). The Progressive Erosion and Sediment Control Plans (PESCPs) are prepared and implemented for locations where soil disturbance will occur. The PESCPs outline controls to be implemented to manage and minimise soil erosion, and movement of sediment and other pollutants to land and/or waters. The PESCPs are progressively updated throughout the project to reflect the current construction activities occurring on site and to allow the removal of any measures that are ineffective or no longer needed. As construction finalises, areas will become progressively available for stabilisation. Unless otherwise requested by the landowner, areas will be stabilised through the application of retained topsoil and natural regeneration. Application of cover crop (seed) may also occur, however consideration will need to be made of the available water supply and effectiveness of such an approach. The PESCPs will provide detail in relation to the measures which will be applied specific to each site. As required, advice will also be sought from the soil conservationist in relation to these measures. Progressive rehabilitation Areas such as the existing 220kV transmission line (OX1), Buronga accommodation camp and construction compound and the Wentworth accommodation camp and construction compound were used during construction of the project, with rehabilitation of these TBC Rehabilitation Plan – PEC-West, Work Instruction Revision 0 4 | _________________________________ BUSINESS PRACTICE DOCUMENT ________________________________________ Objectives Transgrid response sites occurring following decommissioning and removal of the temporary infrastructure. Areas such as the earthworks material site will be rehabilitated once use of the site is complete. As recommended by the NSW DPI guideline, harnessing natural processes or natural regeneration was considered as a first option for re-establishing native vegetation. Natural regeneration involves the germination of seedlings from seedfall or existing nearby vegetation and is an effective method of establishing a large number of plants, particularly where establishment is required at a large scale. Natural regeneration is also a form of rehabilitation. Be decommissioned and Once construction has been completed and within 6 months of removed, entering operations, temporary infrastructure will be decommissioned and removed, unless agreed by the Planning Secretary. In general, decommissioning activities will involve the following: • disconnecting redundant services including power; • removal of accommodation facilities; • removal of other temporary buildings; and • removal of temporary construction fencing. Restore land capability to pre- The pre-existing use of the ancillary facilities, accommodation existing use camps, and the earthworks material site is agricultural land. Consultation with the landholders continues to occur to ensure that the land is returned to its pre-exiting use and to the satisfaction of the landowner. Ensure public safety Project works, including any decommissioning activities required as part of the rehabilitation works was undertaken in accordance Elecnor’s Health and Safety Plan. During operations, Transgrid procedure: Public Safety Formal Safety Assessment details the safety management system and processes which will be implemented during operation of the assets. Transgrid also provides public safety information on the Transgrid website, including: • Easement guidelines • Electrical Network Safety Management System information • Public electrical safety awareness • Bushfire management • Power System Safety Rules TBC Rehabilitation Plan – PEC-West, Work Instruction Revision 0 5 | _________________________________ BUSINESS PRACTICE DOCUMENT ________________________________________ 5.

Rehabilitation/Reinstatement works # Item Resp Acceptance Criteria 2.1 Elecnor EA OHTL Reinstatement/Rehabilitation Field Inspection Rehabilitation/Reinstatement Checklist (FIC) 45860-CON-CHK-C-0002 crew activities Areas such as the existing 220kV transmission line (OX1), Buronga accommodation camp and construction compound and the Wentworth accommodation camp and construction compound were used during construction of the project, with rehabilitation of these sites occurring following decommissioning and removal of the temporary infrastructure. Areas such as the earthworks material site will be rehabilitated once use of the site is complete. TBC Rehabilitation Plan – PEC-West, Work Instruction Revision 0 8 | _________________________________ BUSINESS PRACTICE DOCUMENT ________________________________________ As recommended by the NSW DPI guideline, harnessing natural processes or natural regeneration was considered as a first option for re-establishing native vegetation. Natural regeneration involves the germination of seedlings from seedfall or existing nearby vegetation and is an effective method of establishing a large number of plants, particularly where establishment is required at a large scale. Natural regeneration is also a form of rehabilitation. Natural regeneration provides the following advantages: • genetics are appropriate and relevant to the location of the site; • it ensures that indigenous species are established rather than non-indigenous species; • it ensures that regeneration is reflective of the vegetation present within the adjacent plant community types; • heavy machinery or vehicles won’t necessarily be required to traverse the existing site following placement of topsoil. This is of particular benefit given the number of Aboriginal heritage sites on the project; • it establishes vegetation with random spacing, reflective of natural processes which would occur with the surrounding plant community types; and • it provides a greater chance of long-term success. In consultation with the project ecologist, collection of seed occurred throughout construction. Seed collection was be undertaken in consideration of the NSW DPI guideline. Where remnant vegetation remains, it will be the starting point to encourage natural regeneration. Remnant vegetation will remain in various locations adjoining areas of temporary clearing including, for example, vegetation adjoining the access tracks and vegetation adjacent to the laydown areas (temporary disturbance areas). In undertaking rehabilitation, the following will occur: • material resources from the area will be salvaged and stockpiled for beneficial reuse in future where possible. This could include soil and vegetative resources such as hollows and mulch; • topsoil will be removed and stockpiled for future reuse; • decommissioning or rehabilitation of the accommodation camp and construction compound will be carried out in accordance with information detailed within the progressive erosion and sediment control plan and/or in consultation with the landowners, where relevant; • stabilisation of any areas available within the earthworks material site will occur in accordance with the progressive erosion and sediment control plans. Stabilisation would occur progressively, as any of the sections of the earthworks material site are no longer required and/or in consultation with the landowners, where relevant; • on completion of the work in the temporary construction areas, topsoil shall be re-spread over the disturbed surface in order to promote natural revegetation from the seed and nutrient contained within the topsoil; and • mulch and woody debris will be a by-product of vegetation clearing activities. Where practicable, this material will be reused in the progressive rehabilitation works following placement of topsoil.
