    1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE

    The purpose of this Gordonbrook Dam EAP is:

    • to minimise the risk of harm to persons or property if a dam hazard event or emergency event for the dam happens; • to identify dam hazards that could occur at Gordonbrook Dam and the area likely to be affected for each hazard; • to prescribe emergency actions taken by SBRC and operating personnel in identifying and responding to dam

    hazards and notifying relevant entities.

    The EAP specifically describes the coordination of these necessary actions by SBRC and its officers to provide timely notification to Police, Emergency services, Disaster Management groups and Population at Risk in the event of a potential emergency event at Gordonbrook Dam. 1.2 SCOPE

    The Gordonbrook Dam EAP covers:

    • dam hazards evaluated within Dam Program Safety Management; • details about the dam that are relevant to a dam hazard; • identification of circumstances that indicates a material increase in the likelihood of a dam hazard event or

    emergency event; • triggers for activation of a tiered response to dam hazard event or emergency event; • roles and responsibilities in responding to a dam hazard event or emergency event; • notification, warning and communication protocols; • inspection, monitoring and reporting protocols during emergencies; • other relevant information that may assist with identifying the area affected by a dam hazard event; and/or • an emergency event and the management of such.

    1.3 DAM OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES

    The following outlines the responsibilities of a dam owner:

    • Develop an EAP in consultation and collaboration with local government and disaster management group/s who may be affected by a dam hazard identified in the plan.

    • Provide a copy of the EAP to each local government and disaster management group who may be affected by a dam hazard identified in the plan. These stakeholders have 30 business days to review the plan. The local government must provide a notice back to the dam owner within the 30 business days, the disaster management group may provide a notice, however it is not compulsory.

    • The local government assessment notice of the EAP against the Disaster Management Plan and all notices received by the dam owner from the chair/s of the district (disaster management) group/s must be provided to the Chief Executive, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Water Supply Division at the time of EAP submission.

    • Assess the EAP against the outcomes of the Queensland Emergency Management Assurance Framework (https://www.igem.qld.gov.au/assurance-framework). The Emergency Management Prioritisation Tool (https://www.igem.qld.gov.au/assurance-framework/emergency-management-prioritisation-tool) may be utilised for this purpose.

    • Submit the EAP to the Chief Executive, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Water Supply Division for assessment. The EAP must be accompanied by each notice given by a local government (must have), disaster management group for the plan (if received) and any notice responses by the dam owner.

  • GORDONBROOK DAM Emergency Action Plan

    June 2020 Page | 2   

    • Maintain and update documents annually (before 1 October each year) • Distribute current approved EAP to all parties listed in the distribution list. • Respond in accordance with the approved EAP in all dam relevant incidents. • Activate the EAP and maintain an incident log (including visual inspection of the dam and any notifications that

    have been made). • Provide timely and accurate notifications to all relevant parties mentioned in the notification list in a relevant dam

    hazard event or emergency event. • Report all incidents and failures in writing to the Dam Safety Regulator within forty-eight (48) hours of becoming

    aware of the incident or failure. • Prepare an EER and submit to the Dam Safety Regulator within 30 business days after the end of the emergency

    event. • Ensure the PAR have an appropriate evacuation plan in the event of a dam failure. • Ensure the PAR have an understanding of the purpose of the warning and notifications in the event of a dam

    emergency or dam hazard. • Ensure appropriate training for all personnel with responsibilities under the EAP. • Undertake periodic testing of EAP to ensure telephone numbers are correct and the notification priority list is logical.

    Make appropriate dam safety related decisions based on advice from a consulting engineer where appropriate. The dam owner is also responsible for authorising any immediate expenditure so that urgent repair work will not be delayed.

    • Undertake regular on-site monitoring and visual inspection of the conditions at the dam. The dam owner is responsible for conducting a safety evaluation of the dam and to identify any deficiency in the dam’s safety. Where deficiencies exist, the dam owner is required to take appropriate steps to minimise the potential risk of dam failure from these deficiencies.

    1.4 EAP REVIEW AND APPROVAL FLOW PLAN

    The EAP is reviewed annually in accordance with SOP23, prior to each wet season, to ensure contact information is up to date and all necessary parties involved in the EAP process are aware of the emergency actions required and any changes to the document.

    The review of the EAP is to be undertaken in accordance with the flow path diagram shown in Figure 1.1 below to demonstrate collaboration with the appropriate disaster management groups. The process will address any revised legislative changes and the latest “Emergency Action Plan for Referable Dam Guideline”.

    In order for the EAP to be effective it must demonstrate the following disaster management attributes:

    • Comprehensive – An all hazards approach • Interoperable – Alignment with the disaster management system • Value for money – Link with existing systems and warning services • Scalable – Ability to ramp up as hazard events escalate to emergency events • Adaptable- Flexibility to address the circumstances of the event

    This plan effectiveness will be assessed through the testing of its ability to show the above attributes are being met and if there are improvements required it can be addressed in future annual reviews

    1.5 EAP ACTIVATION LEVELS

    The four levels of EAP activation are:

    • Alert A heightened level of vigilance due to the possibility of a dam hazard event or an emergency event occurring. No further action may be required; however, the situation should be monitored by someone capable of assessing the potential of the threat. • Lean Forward An operational state characterised by a heightened level of situational awareness of an impending event and a state of operational readiness • Stand Up The operational state where resources are mobilised, personnel are activated, and operational activities commenced. • Stand Down Transition from responding to an event back to normal core business and/or continuance of recovery operations. There is no longer a requirement to respond to the event and the threat is no longer present. The movement through these levels of activation is not necessarily sequential. It should be applied with flexibility and adaptability and be tailored to the location and event.

    Triggering one (1) of these levels of activation may not necessarily mean a similar activation of LDMP as this will depend on the hazard event type and the likelihood of an emergency event being realised.

    1.6 NOTIFICATIONS

    1.6.1 Notification Responsibilities The responsibilities for notifying others of a potential emergency situation for both flood and non-flood related incidences are shown in the Table 1.1 - Order of Contact. Contact Details including phone numbers, email and addresses are provided in Appendix F. Verification of emergency contact numbers shall be updated in accordance with SOP02 and the communication protocol during emergency events shall be in accordance with SOP04.

    1.6.2 Communication of Storage Status Dam storage information will be made available on the SBRC website www.southburnett.qld.gov.au. The information to be provides is detailed in Appendix H.4, with the main emphasis on Dam level and alert notifications.

    SBRC provides a subscription service through SMS/email to advise of the spillway discharge status and include a hyperlink to the SBRC website for the specific details. As part of this service there will be education program for the downstream participants as to the status and the likely impacts to make property management decisions regarding infrastructure and access arrangements.

    1.6.3 Dam Hazard Event Notification Upon activating the EAP for a dam hazard event, the notifications for contacts is to be undertaken in accordance with the EAP. Notifications of uncontrolled spillway discharge will be undertaken in accordance with SOP04.  

    1.6.4 Dam Emergency Event Notification  Once the Dam Emergency Event has been declared and the LDMP has been activated, the notifications will be managed through the LDMG. Therefore, the Standard Emergency Warning System (SEWS) can be used for the emergency notification. Details of the notification are attached in Appendix H.2. Information retain to current alerts and notifications for the emergency events will be directed to the SBC Disaster Dashboard as per Appendix H.4

    In the case of need for evacuation, the LDMG Operational Sub Plan A.5 Evacuation will refer to the QLD Police who have the legislative powers to enforce evacuation.

    2.5 DAM INSPECTIONS AND MONITORING

    In order to maintain the embankment in a safe condition and detect any emergency conditions as it becomes apparent, the following is applicable to Gordonbrook Dam.  

    2.5.1 Inspections The following Inspections are carried out as per Gordonbrook Dam Operations and Maintenance Manual: Routine Visual Inspections: Conducted routinely (typically on a bi-monthly basis), and after every flood event. (SOP25) Comprehensive Inspection: Conducted 5 -Yearly. (SOP26) Safety Review: Conducted every 20 years  

    2.5.2 Instrumentation and Monitoring Gordonbrook Dam has a level sensor located on the raw water intake tower that measures the current storage level relative to the spillway FSL (391.5m AHD). This data is relayed back to the Water and Wastewater Department via the radio telemetry SCADA system. The raw water intake tower also has a manual site gauge with 100mm increments.

    The radio telemetry system relays the dam water level data back to the main SCADA CMF and RMF servers in Kingaroy, and forwards SMS alarms to the Principal Engineer Water and Wastewater and Program Coordinator as levels rise. Alarm set points are specific to the EAP 5.2-5.6 trigger levels. All radio telemetry systems have battery backup for 6 hours, with the main CMF and RMF SCADA servers having UPS and generator back up system in place.

    Gordonbrook Dam also has a remote CCTV camera located on the spillway, with a weather station to provide live coverage and weather data during flood events. This system can be accessed remotely via the Telstra 3G network, although 3G signal strength can vary and temporarily drop out of range.

    In addition to the above monitoring system for flood events, Gordonbrook Dam also has five (5) piezometers installed on the dam wall and toe of the dam to allow assessment of water pressure and seepage through the dam wall. These are read every two (2) weeks and assessed by the Principal Engineer Water and Wastewater monthly. SBRC has setup survey points to assess settlement and movement of the dam wall and appurtenances. These are surveyed annually in accordance with the Gordonbrook Dam’s Operation and Maintenance Manual.

    2.5.3 Backup Monitoring. Although Gordonbrook Dam has specific remote monitoring instrumentation, SBRC does not consider these devices to be 100% reliable. As such, Gordonbrook Dam EAP has been developed to ensure onsite monitoring by staff is undertaken during flood and non-flood emergency events as they become apparent.

    During “Alert” and “Learn Forward” notifications, operational staff will be onsite as part of treatment operations during the day, and will confirm level data and provide visual observations whilst onsite during daily operations. During “Stand Up” notifications, operational staff are posted to the dam during the flood or non-flood event to ensure onsite monitoring is available should the remote systems fail as required necessary under SOP24

    storage levels rising rapidly and a possible higher volumes of spillway discharge expected. The LDMP is likely to have been activated for a Flood Hazard Event Dam Hazard Event extremely likely and a possibly resulting in a Dam Emergency Event

    • Undertake visual inspection of dam and recording of water level of the storage. If possible, also monitor rainfall activity on the BOM radar and the inflows to the dam (Weens Bridge).

    • Dam inspection and recording of water level at regular intervals. • Advice Notification (refer to Appendix F contact list and priority) . The

    intent of the message is to advise PAR that there is no immediate danger however, they should keep themselves up-to-date with developments.

    • Assessment on whether Dam Hazard Event will transition to a Dam Emergency Event and activation of LDMP required.

    LEAN FORWARD

    Spillway flows occurring and beginning to cause bank erosion but as yet are unlikely to impact on downstream PAR and infrastructure. Rain event predictions. Dam Hazard Event occurring and high probability of a Dam Emergency Event occurring

    • Continue dam inspections, monitoring and recording of water level of the storage at regular intervals.

    • Preliminary Warning: Watch and Act: Update notification (refer to Appendix F contact list and priority) to

    those who received previous notifications plus notifications to Dam Safety Regulator.

    The message should convey that it is likely that they will be impacted by the emergency event. That they may be in danger and should start taking action to protect their life and that of their family

    Updates should be scheduled for example, to be provided every four (4) hours, but may need to be more frequent when deemed appropriate.

    Advise the Dam Safety Regulator of EAP status STAND-UP 1. Spillway discharge increasing with flows that

    are likely to impact on downstream PAR and infrastructure.

    2. Spillway discharge is at a level that the downstream banks may be overtopped and cause impact to PAR and infrastructure

    3. If flood activity continues a dam failure may occur due to overtopping.

    4. Dam failure is initiated. Dam Emergency Event is occurring

    • Continue dam inspections, monitoring and recording of water level of the dam if safe to do so.

    • Dam inspections and more frequent recording of storage level. • Evacuate to high ground to avoid any impending flood / dam failure flows. • More frequent notifications to all relevant entities including LDMG and

    council. Updates to be provided at least every few hours but also when ‘benchmark’ storage levels or discharge are being reached such as: discharges likely to close critical roads and other infrastructure record flood levels are occurring in the dam dam crest is being reached or is being overtopped.

    • Immediately notify LDMG when the dam failure initiates • Take immediate notification action (refer to Appendix F contact list and

    priority) to other relevant entities. • Emergency Warning: LDMG and watch desk to issue emergency warning under the EA

    polygon • Advise the Dam Safety Regulator of dam failure as soon as reasonably

    possible after those who are likely to be affected are notified. STAND-DOWN

    Flood levels receding with storage levels dropping back towards FSL and dam releases are unlikely to further impact on PAR .

    • Issue Advice Notification to previously notified entities and PAR advising the end of the emergency event

    • Prepare EER and submit to the Dam Safety Regulator within 30 business days after the end of the emergency event.

    4.1.1 DAM HAZARD TRIGGER AND ACTIVATION LEVELS

    The Dam Hazard Event for a flood event occurs as a result of the extent of the impact of the flood to downstream population. Storage levels in a flood event has been adopted as the trigger level for the dam hazard. The spillway discharge as a result of the storage level combined with the severity of the flood inflow could result in a dam hazard event or dam emergency event. A specific ‘Activation Reference Number’ has been allocated in this EAP to link each of the event triggers and activations to the actions of each of the responsible persons as detailed in the EAP.

    It should be noted that under normal operating circumstances these specific storage levels may or may not result in Dam Hazard Event or a Dam Emergency Event. The critical assessment of the transition to either a Dam Hazard Event or a Dam Emergency Event will heavily rely on the rainfall and flood flow predictions.

    Table 4.2 – Storage Trigger Levels and Activation Levels have been identified from review of the following reports:

    • Spillway Adequacy Assessment Report • Comprehensive Dam Safety Inspection Report • Dam Failure Impact Assessment

    Table 4.2 Storage Trigger Levels and Activation Levels

    6 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN GENERAL INFORMATION 6.1 EAP EXERCISES & TESTING

    The EAP should be tested annually by conducting an exercise of each of the potential emergency situations identified within this EAP. The exercise could be either desktop or field based with the objective to test the plan and to refresh and train new personnel with actions in the EAP. Testing of the plan should also be undertaken with the wider regional exercises of the LDMG in relation to flooding hazards.

    The exercise should be debriefed in order to identify opportunities for improvement of the EAP. The information should be available for the next EAP review following the exercise.  

    6.2 EAP TRAINING

    Training of the use and implementation of this EAP document is carried out at various times throughout the year. Specific pre-wet season training is undertaken leading up to the wet season. During this period SBRC staff complete work instructions for site preparations and from July to September carry out checks on stores; supplies of fuel; and the current EAP, such as contact details for individuals and dam information.   

    Dam operation training will be in accordance with SOP15. EAP training that is carried out on-site includes walkthroughs of new changes and Q&A to check the knowledge and competency of all those who attended. This on-site training is presented to relevant SBRC staff and disaster management stakeholders where necessary. Information sessions are carried out once a year with the same walkthrough of new changes and Q&A. New SBRC employees in these various roles also have a training session of the EAP as part of their induction.

    Potential opportunities to train with SunWater, as it owns dams within the region and will need to undertake exercise with SBRC LDCC to test their EAPs, should be assess and considered as part of the training opportunities.

    6.3 EAP EDUCATION

    SBRC will use fact sheets to undertake education of the downstream property owners in order to understand the status report by SBRC, informing themselves of the likely impacts of the spillway discharge. Information will also be displayed on SBRC’s website and the Disaster Dashboard. Opportunity will be taken to jointly supply fact sheets and education material with the disaster management entities in order to uniformly deliver a consistent message.    SBRC is required to ensure have PARs have an appropriate evacuation plan in the event of a dam failure. In conjunction with the above education plan the PAR will be advised of the need for their evacuation plans and SBRC will assist in the advice on closed roads associated with each of the likely scenarios for the spillway discharge and the dam failure events.
