Identifies the person within

G-MWs and other external

parties that manage/

control the activity.

Further breakdown of the main project

activitity to provide a better

understanding.

Elements of the project's sub-activities, products or

services that can interact with the environment.

Aspect(s) of an activity previously identified in the

spreadsheet have been referred to using the sub-

activity name. Add or delete aspects to the current

generic list as required, ensuring all aspects related

to the activity are covered.

Identifies if there are any legal or other

requirements to which G-MW subscribes to

or approvals attained that are related to the

aspect. Refer to the Environmental Legal

Checklist

Identifies the relevant

environmental impacts.

These impacts will aid in

evaluating the level of

The control measures, monitoring or training

can be addressed cumulativly ie for each

activity if they the same for all aspects of that

sub-activitiy. G-MW environmental guidelines

may be referenced in this column.

GENERIC ASPECTS USED WITHIN THE PROJECT RISK ASSESSMENT TEMPLATE

changes to flow patterns of waterways (as a result of discharge off farm, extraction from rivers, run-off from

farms, controlled releases from structures etc)

changes to groundwater hydrology (e.g. groundwater level rises, water logging, reduced recharge to

changes to natural surface drainage pattern (resulting from construction of artificial drains, land forming,

blocking of drainage path causing water logging etc)

conjunctive use of disposal basins (for salt disposal, urban stormwater, public use etc)

depth of storage (stratification related issues such as differences in temperature, light, density and oxygen)damage / clearing of flora, fauna (aquatic and/or terrestrial)

damage / disturbance to cultural heritage sites

discharge / run-off / release / transfer of contaminated water (nutrients, pathogens, heavy metals or

dumping of waste(s) in waterways, reservoirs, channels, drains or surrounding land

emission of radiation

exposure / transfer / mobilisation of soils or contaminated soils (inc. dust & runoff etc)

generation / disposal of non-prescribed wastes (e.g. fill material, solid inert and putrescible waste)

generation / disposal of prescribed wastes (e.g. contaminated soils, grease interceptor trap effluent,chemicals , radioactive soils etc)

access to areas of biological and cultural significance

generation of noise

high water levels within storage / channels / waterwayintroduction / escape / invasion of exotic fauna, flora or diseases

littering / transfer of litter via water

low or no water within storages / channels / waterways / drainsovertopping of structure / banks

overturning of storage waterpresence of a fire ignition source(s)

reduced / restricted water flow downstream (inc. aquatic and geomorphological barriers)
