Policy, which is the Environment
The Policy establishes goal noise levels based on the Development plan Zone infacility and surrounding dwellings are located. For a proposed development anddwellings in a Primary Production Zone, the Policy recommends goal noise52 dB(A) during the day (7am to 1Opm) and 4s dB(A) at night (1Opm to 7am).
The Policy applies penalties for an impulsive, tonal, modulating or low freqcharacteristic that effectively reduces the goal noise levels. For a penalty to bePolicy requires the charaoteristic to be fundamental to the nature and impact ofand be dominating the overall noise impact rather than simply being a part of it.
The noise from the facility is predominantly from the operation of the ventilationnormally Broduce a constant and non-tonal noise. Previous noise testing of the wallfans associated with Stages 1 and 2 exhibit a constant and non-tonal chdwellings when operating.
Notwithstanding the above, as a conservative approach, a S dB(A) penalty has beto the goal noise levels. The application of the penafty reduces the goal noise$tage 4 development to 4T dB(A) during the day and 40 dB(A) at night.
It is noted that the criteria applied in this assessment are more stringent than thenoise levels for a domestic air conditioning unit in a residential area and thenoise levefs of the world Hearth organisation (wHo) Guidelinesz.

The assessment is also based on a total of 656 vents on the glass house roof (including thetrial glasshouse), each with an open area of 3.Sm2.
Noise Propagation Model
The noise from the proposed facility has been predicted using the CONCAWE3 noisepropagation model in the SoundPlan noise modelling software. CONCAWE considers windspeed, wind direction, temperature, time of the day and level of cloud cover.
The worst case (highest noise level) weather conditions for noise propagation,corresponding to CONCAWE Weather Category 6, have been considered in the noisemodel. These conditions correlate to nighttime operation with no cloud cover (providingconditions for a temperature inversion) and a breeze from the facility to the dwelling underconsideration.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents a water management plan for a proposed expansion (Stage 4) of thetruss tomato glasshouse facility at lot 483 Cermantown Road, Two Wells. Stage 4 consistsof an additional 8 ha of greenhouses for the cultivation of truss tornatoes, bringing the totalarea to 35ha. The facility has now been in operation since zoo7.
Currently water is supplied to the site from the Virginia Pipeline Scheme (up to 2.7 ML/d).This water is then treated on-site through a reverse osmosis (RO) plant to reduce salinitylevels to below 25 ppm, suitable for hydroponic truss tomato cultivation. ln addition, roofrunoff is captured and contributes to water for cuttivation.
Water delivered and treated on-site is stored in freshwater ponds (iBoML total). Brinedischarges from the RO plant are directed to a 3.Bha evaporation pond (fefML storage), Aspart of stage 3 upgrades and operation, brine stored in the evaporation pond is now directlydelivered to the cooling pads. Once this supply is exhausted, water for cooling is sourcedfrom the freshwater ponds. This operational change provides an efficient means ofmanaging waste discharges frorn the Ro plant as well as reducing the overall demand forBolivarwater by recycling allwaste discharges on-site.
This report uses the most recent operational configuration and data to determine estimatesfor crop and cooling water requirements, which are then used to size water storages andwaste disposalfacilities to support the Stage 4 expansion.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STAGE + EXPANS|ON
The following are recommended for Stage 4 expansion:
. Provide an additional ToML holding storage minimum for storage of treated Rowater. The total stora8e to meet expected demands to Stage 4 is thus zsoML
Increase the existing evaporation pond storage to 75ML. This will require theexisting pond bund to be raised by approximately rm.
Increase the allocated supply from the Virginia Pipeline Scheme (Bolivar) fromTooML/a to gooML/a to meet expected demands for Stage 4 operations. peal<
supply rate can be maintained at z.ZM L/d.
The above recommendations will provide a reliable supply of water, even during extremeheat events and will manage all waste and stormwater runoff safely, even during extrernewet years.

BACKGROUND
An integrated water management plan is required by The victor Smorgon Group for aproposed Stage 4 expansion of the truss tomato glasshouse facility, located at lot 4g3Cermantown Road, Two Wells. Stage 4 consists of an additional I ha of greenhouses forcultivating hydroponic truss tornatoes. The total glasshouse area for stages i to 4 combinedis 35 ha.
The facility has now been in operation since late zoo7. As part of the stagedimplementation of the greenhouses, on-site facilities such as the freshwater storage pondsand reverse osmosis (RO) plant have been increased in capacity to meet the increaseddemands for water. As part of the Stage 3 upgrade a new r.zML/d Ro plang has beeninstalled, and a new'noM L freshwater pond was built.
Operational changes have also occurred during this time to better use waste dischargesfrom the Ro plant. During Stage 3 operations, brine discharges stored in the evaporationponds were delivered to the greenhouses for cooling purposes. This change has meant allbrine discharges are re-used within the facility, significantly decreasing the need for largeevaporation ponds and also reducing the total water demand required from Bolivar.
current facilities installed for stage 3 operations include:
Maximum supply from Bolivar at z.7M L/d
RO plant capable of treating z.z7M Lld
zx35ML plus rxrroML freshwater pondsharvested roof water
for storage of treated RO water and
r 3.8ha evaporation pond x tm deep (feM L storage)
Operational data such as crop and cooling water use with the new configuration is nowavailable for use in Stage 4 sizing.
r.r Scope of worksInvestigations to develop a water management plan for stage 4 include:
r review Stage I to 3 operational data to refine seasonal water use
' develop an updated water balance model for Stage 4 with the new operatingconfiguration and data
' scenario modelling to determine required holding storages for Stage 4r f€view of evaporation pond perflormance.
Reference is made to the original Stage t (ACT, zooT) and subsequent Stage z and 3 reports(DesignFlow' zolo and zott) for detailed information on the overall operation of the facilityover these stages of development. This report is intended as an attachment the previousreports to avoid duplication.

In general, crop water use has remained consistent over the life of the facili[y and hasgenerally ranged from t7-zoML/ha/a. Cooling water dernands vary from year to year and arehighly dependent on ambient conditions. The operational data from 2ot3-14 represents ahigh demanding year, and was double the demand experienced in zoro-zorr (7.9M1/ha/acompared with 3.9M1/ha/a), for exampte. The current data exceeds the previous highexperienced during the zooS/og period, which captured the extreme heat wave during thatsumrner period (cooling water use averaged 7.r Ml/ha/a).
2.1 Stage 4 total water demand estimatesOperational data from 20]3-14 has been used to determine Stage 4 dernands for sizingpurposes. As mentioned previously, this data captures the new operating copfigurationdrawing water directly from the evaporation pond for cooling, as well as capturing extremesummer conditions. This data provides a good data set for reviewing performance underextreme summer conditions and could be considered a conservative approach for sizingpurposes.
Stage 4 consists of 8 ha of new glasshouses, increasing the overall glasshouse area from z7ha (Stage r-3) to 35 ha. The expected seasonal water demands for both crop and cooling forStages 1 to 4 combined, considering Stage t-3 operational data from July zoi3 to June 2014,are summarised in Table z and Figure z. For information purposes the current maximumsupply rate (z.7ML/d) available is plotted to show when water demand exceeds supply.These periods represent when water will be drawn from on-site buffer storage to keep upwith demands. This shows that demands from october to March are likely to exceedsupply, with peal< demand periods duringJanuary to February.

On-site holding storages are required to provide sufficient water for operations during theentire year. The main holding storage facilities considered include:

Based on Stage 3 operational data for zor3/r4 (refer to Table z), total annual crop andcooling water requirements are expected to increase to approximately gz5 ML/a. Currentcontracted supply rates limit the maximum delivery rate to 2.7 ML/d. The currentcontracted allocation is 7oo ML/a. Based on the projected annual demand, and increase inallocation will be required for Stage 4 operations. The current maximum supply rate of2.7M1/a however is retained. These crlteria are used to size required storages to maintain asecurity of supply.
3.'t On-site pond storageFreshwater pond storage is supplied from the RO plant. During Stage 3 a new Ro plantcapable of delivering t.oML/d of treated water was installed (considering a supply rate ofr,zM L/d). This now increases the overall treated Ro su pply to z.z7M L/d.
operation to supply sufficient water for crop and cooling considers supply at the maximumdelivery rate of 2.7M1/d, of this z,z7M L/d is directed to the freshwater pond. Cooling wateris considered from direct supply from the evaporation pond as we1 as surplus deliveredwater not treated by the Ro plant. When storage within the evaporation pond is depleted,water for cooling is drawn from the freshwater pond.
A water balance model has been developed for the above operation. Seasonal demandshave been based on projected Stage t-4 data, as per Table z previously. The water balanceaccounts for roof runoff from the greenhouse roof, plus rain that directly falls over storages.Evaporation from the ponds is also considered.

Figure 3 Summary of modelled Stage 4 requirements - based on 2o't3/r4 data
The existing fresh water storage of t8o ML (zx35ML and rxtroML) is insufficient to meet theexpected increase in demands for Stage 4. An additionat 70 ML storage minimum isrequired to be constructed to provide an adequate security of supply for Stage I to 4demands. Roof water from Stage 4 operations can be directed to this new pond.
3.2 lrrigation and cooling water storage tanksStorage tanks are provided adjacent to the greenhouse area to facilitate dqsing withfertilizers for crop irrigation and to provide a delivery tank for cooling water. Treated waterfrom the RO plant is initially directed to crop tanl<s, before ovedlowing to the freshwaterpond. Additional tanl<s are also provided to store and treat drainage water from the cropready for re-use.
For stage 4 expansion the following tanks are to be installed:
o I x r.433M L tanl<s for crop irrigation
r rx r.433ML kL tank for cooling
. 4 x 523 lcl tanl<s for crop drainage
These tanks also provide an additional back-up supply should delivery of Botivar water beinterrupted, and no addltional storage is available in the freshwater pond.

RO BRINE MANAGEMENT
On-site management of waste discharges (RO brine) for Stage I to 3 operations is currentlymanaged using a 3.8 ha evaporation pond (storage:8ML). Discharges to the pond includefilter backwash and concentrated brine from the RO plant. The pond was previouslyoperated to receive brine and then evaporate, no re-use of this water was considered.Evaporation pond sizes were chosen accordingly.
During Stage 3 operations, water held in storage in the evaporation pond was directed tothe greenhouses for cooling use. This has proven successful and alJ water held in storage inthe evaporation ponds is re-used in the operations. This re-configuration allows fulldrawdown of storage in the evaporation pond, and reduces the need for external Bolivarsupply of water for cooling. This also provides a more reliable means of managing largestorm events on site, without the need for excessively large evaporation pond areas.
For the purposes of the Stage 4 expansion, the pedormance of the evaporation pond tomanage waste discharges is presented. This is based on the water balance modelleddeveloped previously with an evaporation pond area of 3,Bha.
Figure 4 indicates the modelled variation in evaporation pond volume considering anextreme hot year scenario (based on zoBh4 data where high cooling volurnes wererequired) and an extreme wet year (based on t922-23 rainfall data). This figure clearly showsin both scenarios the evaporation pond volume is drawn down during summer.

Roofwater from the new glasshouse roofs is to be collected in a pipe system and dralned direclyto the new 180ML Roofwater Storage Basin. The estimated annuat runoff from the robfs to thebasin is approximately 32 ML/a. Glasshouse usage is significantly more than this. Hehce this basinwill also be supplied by excess water from the Stages 1, 2 and 3 storage basins whicfr, in turn, arepartially supplied by treated recycled water. This stored water will be re-used in the gl^owingprocess.

2.1 Meteorologicol Dofo
For the Stoge 3 oir quolity impoct ossessment o site-specific AUSPLUME meteorologicol doto set wosextrocted for the site locotion from on existing meteorologicol doto set which covered the oreo. Thedqto wos for ihe yeor 2009 ond wos processed in CALMET with surfoce observotion doto formetropoliton ond surrounding Bureou of Meteorology weother stotions. The dctoset used TAPM derjvedupper oir doto.
The yeor 2009 con be considered os o representotive yeor for dispersion modelling purpose$ in thegreoter Adeloide oreo. The 2009 meteorologicoldoto is the some os wos used in the Stoge 3ossessmenl.
2.2 Dispersion Modelling
The dispersion modelling wos corried out using AUSPLUME which is consislent with the previousossessments. Considering the flot terrcrin on the ploins oround Two Wells, AUSPLUME is on opproporiiemodel for the ossessment.
AUSPLUME is on oir pollution dispersion model bqsed on Goussion plume dispersion theory whichpredicts ground level concentrotions of pollutonts downwind from point, volume ond oreo sources. Theground level concentrotion predictions ore determined from dispersion colculotions bosed on hourlyoverqges of meteorologicol porometers provided in q meteorologicol doto file. For predictions ofconcentrotions for overoging periods shorter thon one hour, o peok lo meon rotio is opplied.
The AUSPLUME modelling domoin wos o recepfor grid of 6 km x 6 km wiih o receptor resolulion of 100 mond modelled with building wokes.
An AUSPLUME output text fileo from the modelling is sttoched in Appendix A.
2.3 Emissions Estimofion ond Assessment Scenorios
For the boilers ond generotors, the pollutont of relevqnce for the ossessment is nitrogen dioxide {NOz).The Stoge I ossessmenl demonstroted ihot maximum predicied corbon monoxide {CO} ground levelconcentrotion wos i % of the ossessment criterion. On this bosis, when the potentiqlfor site exponsionwos considered, co wos not included in the follow on ossessmenls.
The Stoge I to 3 ossessments were bosed on the conservotive ossumption of continuous emissions of fulloperotionol copociiy for ihe boilers ond generotors. In reolity, the glosshouses ore not operdted in thiswoy since lighting, irrigotion, heoting ond cooling requirements vory continuously with weotherconditions, hour of doy ond the seoson. Generolly ihe highest power demond, of por with fullgenerotion copocity, occurs on hot summer doys with moximum cooling ond ventilotion demonds.
For this ossessment the generqtor emissions were bosed on power usoge/generotion profiles over eochmonth ond hour of doy os presented in Section 3. The ossessment included two scenorios bosed on onormol operotions scenorio with both gos ond diesel generotors ond o bock up scenorio with the gosgenerotors substituted with bcckup diesel generotors (which gives o higher lotol NOz emission rote).
The boiler emissions were ossumed to be the some os those used in the Stcge 3 ossessment. To occountfor the operotionol differences of the boilers between doytime ond nighttime, the doytime qndnightlime emissions were represented differently. During ihe doy (7om io 6pm) the boiler exhoust flowsore diverted (100%) to the glosshouses for corbon dioxide (COz) dosing. During the night, no dosingoccurs ond the boiler exhoust dischorges ore emilted vio o stock, ofier heot recovery. The dgyfimeboiler emissions qre emitted ihrough ihe glosshouse ridge iop vents ofter circuloiion. To bestchorocterise these emissions, pseudo stocks (with lorge diometer ond low exit velocity) were used torepresent the ridgetop vents.

NO" emissions from combustion comprise o mixture of NO ond NOz, iypicolly 5-.10% NOz of the sourcec.Once emitted into the otmosphere, NO in ihe plume is oxidised by ozone ond VOCs to form NOz. Therote ol which oxidotion occurs is highly vorioble, depending lorgely on ombient ozone concentrotionsond the rote of turbulent mixing of the plume with surrounding oir. A sufficienly oged NOx plume will,however, comprise mostly NOz.
For this study' the l0% NOz/NOx conversion rotio opplied in ihe dispersion modelling to the generotorswos determined bosed on principles described by (Jonnsen, vqn Wokeren, von Duuren, & Elshout,.|988)
considering the neor field peok impocts. This method occounts for vorying conversion rotesoccording to time of yeor, ombient ozone concenlroiions ond distonce of the plume from the source.Although the NOz/NOxrotio increoses with increosing downwind distonce from the source, ii isimportont to nole ihot ihe totol concenlrotion of NO*decreoses with distonce more rqpidly due todispersion thon the Noz/Noxfroction lncreoses due to conversion.
Alternqtive opprooches for determining Noz/No* froctions include:
conversion of emiited NO* to NOz for predicted ground level concentrotions. This melhod wouldbe unreolistic given the short distonces involved between the point of emission ond ihe predictedmoximum ground level concentrotion.
