Subject: Groundwater Monitoring Event February 2017
Dear Barry,
This letter outlines the results of the groundwater monitoring event (GME) conducted by JacobsGroup (Australia) Pty Limited (Jacobs) between 27 February and 2 March 2017 for Energy BrixAustralia Corporation (in Liquidation) Pty Ltd (EBAC) at Morwell Power Station (the site).
The work was conducted as part of the environmental site assessment (ESA) process for the siteinitiated by EBAC. It is the second GME to be conducted at the site, the first of which was completedby GHD in December 2016 as part of their Phase 2 ESA (GHD, 2016). We draw your attention toAttachment 3 “Important note about your report” for context.
1. Sampling and analysis
1.1 Field sampling
Of 20 wells comprising the groundwater monitoring network of the site, 19 in total were sampled byJacobs. One well (GW15) was unable to be sampled due to a damaged stand pipe. For well locations,refer to Figure 4 in GHD (2016).
All sampling was undertaken in accordance with Jacobs standard field procedures and relevantAustralian Standards (Standards Australia, 2005) and National Environment Protection (Assessmentof Site Contamination) Measure (NEPM) (NEPC, 2013) guidelines.
A total of 18 of the 19 wells were sampled by means of low-flow micro-purge technique, while one well(GW16) was sampled by use of a disposable bailer due to extremely low recharge conditions. Thewater level and water quality parameters of each well were monitored during sampling to confirm thatgroundwater was being recharged into the well and when a representative sample of groundwatercould be taken. Groundwater well GW16 however, was first purged with use of a disposable bailerand left for ~4 hours to allow for recharge before being sampled with the disposable bailer.
One set of blind replicates were collected from a randomly selected well for analysis by the primary(ALS) and secondary (Eurofins) laboratories for quality assurance/ quality control (QA/QC) purposes.

Between sampling at each well, all re-useable equipment in contact with groundwater wasdecontaminated with Decon90TM and tap water. Internal pump bladders and twin tubing were replacedbetween each well. At the end of each sampling day, a rinsate blank was collected from the samplingpump after decontamination and laboratory prepared trip blank samples were also stored in eachbatch submitted to ALS.
All samples were collected in laboratory provided bottles with relevant preservatives and immediatelyplaced on ice within an insulated cooler. Field filtered and unfiltered samples were collected for metalsanalysis. Coolers were replenished with ice prior to being couriered to the laboratories under chain ofcustody protocols.
1.2 Analytical testing
Analytes were scheduled for laboratory testing in accordance with the SAQP and in line with thoseselected by GHD for the first GME (GHD, 2016; Jacobs, 2016). An exception was radium-226/228,which was not analysed in this GME due to the protracted turnaround time required for this analysis.
2. Adopted guidelines
The following guidelines have been adopted for the purposes of screening against results:
· National Environment Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure Schedule B11999 (Vol. 2) (NEPC, 2013);
· Australian and New Zealand guidelines for fresh and marine water quality: Volume 1 andVolume 3 (ANZECC and ARMCANZ, 2000a, 2000b);
· Technical Report No. 38 - Assessment, management and remediation for PFOS and PFOAPart 3: ecological screening levels (CRC CARE, 2017); and
· Australian water quality guidelines for fresh and marine waters (ANZECC, 1992).
3. Results
Exceedances were reported for several analytes, primarily of adopted ecological freshwater criteria.Several analytes also reported technical exceedances of the adopted criteria (Table 3.1).

3.1 PFAS results
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a significant and emerging group of environmentalcontaminants. These are typically derived from aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) compounds used infirefighting/training activities.
PFAS were detected in several groundwater samples during Jacobs’ GME but were not previouslydetected in GHD’s groundwater monitoring program (due in part to a lowering of the laboratory’sdetection limit between the analysis events). PFAS compounds were also detected in soil samplescollected by GHD at a number of areas. The attached Figures 1 and 2, respectively, indicate theseareas.
The distribution of PFAS detections around possible source locations (such as the fire training area –GHD’s APEC Area 7) and drainage lines suggests a possible site-based origin.
Given the emerging nature of PFAS as environmental contaminants of concern, regulations includingacceptable guideline levels in soil and groundwater are not comprehensive and are changing. Recentguidance published by CRC CARE (2017) has been referenced for this assessment.
One compound, perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), exceeds the groundwater screening level for 99%species ecosystem protection at three locations. This is a high-conservation level (highly protective).The concentrations do not exceed the 95% species ecosystem protection level applicable for “slightlyto moderately disturbed” surface water systems – the GHD report identifies that SEPP Waters ofVictoria designates this level of protection to relevant potential surface water receptors; screeninglevels apply at the point of discharge of groundwater to a receiving surface water body.

3.2 Quality assurance/quality control
QA/QC procedures were implemented as per Jacobs standard work procedures.
An evaluation of the QA/QC procedures implemented in this assessment and the results of laboratoryanalysis of field and laboratory QA/QC samples suggests that the results from the assessment are ofadequate quality and provide a reliable basis for the conclusions presented in this report.
Further details of the QA/QC procedures and results are provided in Attachment 2 and results arepresented in Table 2 and Table 3.
3.3 Conclusions
In respect to the PFAS groundwater data, we note that:
· groundwater flow directions are unclear from GHD’s assessment, and therefore the location ofany such surface water interaction (near or far from the site) has not been established; and
· The regulatory (EPA Victoria) position on PFAS compounds, as emerging contaminants ofconcern, is not crystal clear; it is possible the regulator may see fit to find that the 99% protectionlevel applies and in which case concentrations would be exceeding assessment levels.
Broadly two issues arise from these results:
· Soil contamination around the source area (likely to be chiefly the fire training area) may nothave been fully delineated.
· It is unclear from the available data whether the observed groundwater PFOS concentrationswould adversely affect a nearby surface water body. The regulator (EPA) would likely want tosee this risk assessed.
We recommend that to more accurately assess the risk and ongoing liability to EBAC from legacyPFAS issues in soil and groundwater, a review of the conceptual site model be undertaken andfurther investigation of data gaps conducted where required to define linkages between source(s),pathways and receptors. This should include additional soil investigation in the possible source areas(e.g. fire training area).

General Comments
The analytical procedures used by the Environmental Division have been developed from established internationally recognized procedures such as those published by the USEPA, APHA, AS and NEPM. In house
developed procedures are employed in the absence of documented standards or by client request.
Where moisture determination has been performed, results are reported on a dry weight basis.
Where a reported less than (<) result is higher than the LOR, this may be due to primary sample extract/digestate dilution and/or insufficient sample for analysis.
Where the LOR of a reported result differs from standard LOR, this may be due to high moisture content, insufficient sample (reduced weight employed) or matrix interference.
When no sampling time is provided, the sampling time will default 00:00 on the date of sampling. If no sampling date is provided, the sampling date will be assumed by the laboratory and displayed in brackets without a
time component.
Where a result is required to meet compliance limits the associated uncertainty must be considered. Refer to the ALS Contact for details.

Method Blank (MB) and Laboratory Control Spike (LCS) Report
The quality control term Method / Laboratory Blank refers to an analyte free matrix to which all reagents are added in the same volumes or proportions as used in standard sample preparation. The purpose of this QC
parameter is to monitor potential laboratory contamination. The quality control term Laboratory Control Spike (LCS) refers to a certified reference material, or a known interference free matrix spiked with target
analytes. The purpose of this QC parameter is to monitor method precision and accuracy independent of sample matrix. Dynamic Recovery Limits are based on statistical evaluation of processed LCS.

Quality Control SpecificationQuality Control Sample Type
Holding times for VOC in soils vary according to analytes of interest. Vinyl Chloride and Styrene holding time is 7 days; others 14 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all VOC analytes and
should be verified in case the reported breach is a false positive or Vinyl Chloride and Styrene are not key analytes of interest/concern.
Holding time for leachate methods (e.g. TCLP) vary according to the analytes reported. Assessment compares the leach date with the shortest analyte holding time for the equivalent soil method. These are: organics
14 days, mercury 28 days & other metals 180 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all non-volatile parameters.
If samples are identified below as having been analysed or extracted outside of recommended holding times, this should be taken into consideration when interpreting results.
This report summarizes extraction / preparation and analysis times and compares each with ALS recommended holding times (referencing USEPA SW 846, APHA, AS and NEPM) based on the sample container
provided. Dates reported represent first date of extraction or analysis and preclude subsequent dilutions and reruns. A listing of breaches (if any) is provided herein.

General Comments
The analytical procedures used by the Environmental Division have been developed from established internationally recognized procedures such as those published by the USEPA, APHA, AS and NEPM. In house
developed procedures are employed in the absence of documented standards or by client request.
Where moisture determination has been performed, results are reported on a dry weight basis.
Where a reported less than (<) result is higher than the LOR, this may be due to primary sample extract/digestate dilution and/or insufficient sample for analysis.
Where the LOR of a reported result differs from standard LOR, this may be due to high moisture content, insufficient sample (reduced weight employed) or matrix interference.
When no sampling time is provided, the sampling time will default 00:00 on the date of sampling. If no sampling date is provided, the sampling date will be assumed by the laboratory and displayed in brackets without a
time component.
Where a result is required to meet compliance limits the associated uncertainty must be considered. Refer to the ALS Contact for details.
CAS Number = CAS registry number from database maintained by Chemical Abstracts Services. The Chemical Abstracts Service is a division of the American Chemical Society.
LOR = Limit of reporting
^ = This result is computed from individual analyte detections at or above the level of reporting
ø = ALS is not NATA accredited for these tests.
~ = Indicates an estimated value.
Key :
EG035T: Mercury result for EM1702312 #1, #3 and #5 has been confirmed by re-preparation and re-analysis.l
It is recognised that total metals is less than dissolved metals for samples #1, #2 and #5. However, the difference is within experimental variation of the methods.l
EG020T: Sample EM1702312-005 has been diluted prior to analysis due to sample matrix and LORs have been raised accordingly.l
Sample GW16 was filtered through a 0.45um filter prior to the dissolved metals analysis.l
EP231X: Particular samples required dilution prior to extraction due to matrix interferences. LOR values have been adjusted accordingly.l
Ionic balances were calculated using: major anions - chloride, alkalinity and sulfate; and major cations - calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium.l
ED045G: The presence of thiocyanate can positively contribute to the chloride result, thereby may bias results higher than expected. Results should be scrutinised accordingly.l
Benzo(a)pyrene Toxicity Equivalent Quotient (TEQ) is the sum total of the concentration of the eight carcinogenic PAHs multiplied by their Toxicity Equivalence Factor (TEF) relative to Benzo(a)pyrene. TEF values
are provided in brackets as follows: Benz(a)anthracene (0.1), Chrysene (0.01), Benzo(b+j) & Benzo(k)fluoranthene (0.1), Benzo(a)pyrene (1.0), Indeno(1.2.3.cd)pyrene (0.1), Dibenz(a.h)anthracene (1.0),
Benzo(g.h.i)perylene (0.01). Less than LOR results for 'TEQ Zero' are treated as zero.

Laboratory Duplicate (DUP) Report
The quality control term Laboratory Duplicate refers to a randomly selected intralaboratory split. Laboratory duplicates provide information regarding method precision and sample heterogeneity. The permitted ranges
for the Relative Percent Deviation (RPD) of Laboratory Duplicates are specified in ALS Method QWI -EN/38 and are dependent on the magnitude of results in comparison to the level of reporting: Result < 10 times LOR:
No Limit; Result between 10 and 20 times LOR: 0% - 50%; Result > 20 times LOR: 0% - 20%.

Quality Control SpecificationQuality Control Sample Type
Holding times for VOC in soils vary according to analytes of interest. Vinyl Chloride and Styrene holding time is 7 days; others 14 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all VOC analytes and
should be verified in case the reported breach is a false positive or Vinyl Chloride and Styrene are not key analytes of interest/concern.
Holding time for leachate methods (e.g. TCLP) vary according to the analytes reported. Assessment compares the leach date with the shortest analyte holding time for the equivalent soil method. These are: organics
14 days, mercury 28 days & other metals 180 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all non-volatile parameters.
If samples are identified below as having been analysed or extracted outside of recommended holding times, this should be taken into consideration when interpreting results.
This report summarizes extraction / preparation and analysis times and compares each with ALS recommended holding times (referencing USEPA SW 846, APHA, AS and NEPM) based on the sample container
provided. Dates reported represent first date of extraction or analysis and preclude subsequent dilutions and reruns. A listing of breaches (if any) is provided herein.

General Comments
The analytical procedures used by the Environmental Division have been developed from established internationally recognized procedures such as those published by the USEPA, APHA, AS and NEPM. In house
developed procedures are employed in the absence of documented standards or by client request.
Where moisture determination has been performed, results are reported on a dry weight basis.
Where a reported less than (<) result is higher than the LOR, this may be due to primary sample extract/digestate dilution and/or insufficient sample for analysis.
Where the LOR of a reported result differs from standard LOR, this may be due to high moisture content, insufficient sample (reduced weight employed) or matrix interference.
When no sampling time is provided, the sampling time will default 00:00 on the date of sampling. If no sampling date is provided, the sampling date will be assumed by the laboratory and displayed in brackets without a
time component.
Where a result is required to meet compliance limits the associated uncertainty must be considered. Refer to the ALS Contact for details.
CAS Number = CAS registry number from database maintained by Chemical Abstracts Services. The Chemical Abstracts Service is a division of the American Chemical Society.
LOR = Limit of reporting
^ = This result is computed from individual analyte detections at or above the level of reporting
ø = ALS is not NATA accredited for these tests.
~ = Indicates an estimated value.
Key :
EP074: Particular sample EM1702389_05 shows a positive hit for Chloroform. Confirmed by re-analysis.l
It is recognised that total metals is less than dissolved metals for samples #3, #4 and #5. However, the difference is within experimental variation of the methods.l
TDS by method EA-015 may bias high for EM1702389 #4 due to the presence of fine particulate matter, which may pass through the prescribed GF/C paper.l
Sample 004 was filtered through a 0.45um filter prior to the dissolved Hexachrome analysis.l
Ionic balances were calculated using: major anions - chloride, alkalinity and sulfate; and major cations - calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium.l
ED045G: The presence of thiocyanate can positively contribute to the chloride result, thereby may bias results higher than expected. Results should be scrutinised accordingly.l
Benzo(a)pyrene Toxicity Equivalent Quotient (TEQ) is the sum total of the concentration of the eight carcinogenic PAHs multiplied by their Toxicity Equivalence Factor (TEF) relative to Benzo(a)pyrene. TEF values
are provided in brackets as follows: Benz(a)anthracene (0.1), Chrysene (0.01), Benzo(b+j) & Benzo(k)fluoranthene (0.1), Benzo(a)pyrene (1.0), Indeno(1.2.3.cd)pyrene (0.1), Dibenz(a.h)anthracene (1.0),
Benzo(g.h.i)perylene (0.01). Less than LOR results for 'TEQ Zero' are treated as zero.

Laboratory Duplicate (DUP) Report
The quality control term Laboratory Duplicate refers to a randomly selected intralaboratory split. Laboratory duplicates provide information regarding method precision and sample heterogeneity. The permitted ranges
for the Relative Percent Deviation (RPD) of Laboratory Duplicates are specified in ALS Method QWI -EN/38 and are dependent on the magnitude of results in comparison to the level of reporting: Result < 10 times LOR:
No Limit; Result between 10 and 20 times LOR: 0% - 50%; Result > 20 times LOR: 0% - 20%.

Method Blank (MB) and Laboratory Control Spike (LCS) Report
The quality control term Method / Laboratory Blank refers to an analyte free matrix to which all reagents are added in the same volumes or proportions as used in standard sample preparation. The purpose of this QC
parameter is to monitor potential laboratory contamination. The quality control term Laboratory Control Spike (LCS) refers to a certified reference material, or a known interference free matrix spiked with target
analytes. The purpose of this QC parameter is to monitor method precision and accuracy independent of sample matrix. Dynamic Recovery Limits are based on statistical evaluation of processed LCS.

Quality Control SpecificationQuality Control Sample Type
Holding times for VOC in soils vary according to analytes of interest. Vinyl Chloride and Styrene holding time is 7 days; others 14 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all VOC analytes and
should be verified in case the reported breach is a false positive or Vinyl Chloride and Styrene are not key analytes of interest/concern.
Holding time for leachate methods (e.g. TCLP) vary according to the analytes reported. Assessment compares the leach date with the shortest analyte holding time for the equivalent soil method. These are: organics
14 days, mercury 28 days & other metals 180 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all non-volatile parameters.
If samples are identified below as having been analysed or extracted outside of recommended holding times, this should be taken into consideration when interpreting results.
This report summarizes extraction / preparation and analysis times and compares each with ALS recommended holding times (referencing USEPA SW 846, APHA, AS and NEPM) based on the sample container
provided. Dates reported represent first date of extraction or analysis and preclude subsequent dilutions and reruns. A listing of breaches (if any) is provided herein.

Sample HistoryWhere samples are submitted/analysed over several days, the last date of extraction and analysis is reported.A recent review of our LIMS has resulted in the correction or clarification of some method identifications. Due to this, some of the method reference information on reports has changed. However,no substantive change has been made to our laboratory methods, and as such there is no change in the validity of current or previous results (regarding both quality and NATA accreditation).
If the date and time of sampling are not provided, the Laboratory will not be responsible for compromised results should testing be performed outside the recommended holding time.

1. Laboratory QC results for Method Blanks, Duplicates, Matrix Spikes, and Laboratory Control Samples are included in this QC report where applicable. Additional QC data may be available on
request.
2. All soil results are reported on a dry basis, unless otherwise stated.
3. Actual LORs are matrix dependant. Quoted LORs may be raised where sample extracts are diluted due to interferences.
4. Results are uncorrected for matrix spikes or surrogate recoveries.
5. SVOC analysis on waters are performed on homogenised, unfiltered samples, unless noted otherwise.
6. Samples were analysed on an 'as received' basis. 7. This report replaces any interim results previously issued.
Please refer to 'Sample Preservation and Container Guide' for holding times (QS3001).
For samples received on the last day of holding time, notification of testing requirements should have been received at least 6 hours prior to sample receipt deadlines as stated on the Sample
Receipt Advice.
If the Laboratory did not receive the information in the required timeframe, and regardless of any other integrity issues, suitably qualified results may still be reported.
Holding times apply from the date of sampling, therefore compliance to these may be outside the laboratory's control.

RPD Duplicates: Global RPD Duplicates Acceptance Criteria is 30% however the following acceptance guidelines are equally applicable:
Results <10 times the LOR : No Limit
Results between 10-20 times the LOR : RPD must lie between 0-50%
Results >20 times the LOR : RPD must lie between 0-30%
Surrogate Recoveries: Recoveries must lie between 50-150%-Phenols & PFASs 20-130%
1. Where a result is reported as a less than (<), higher than the nominated LOR, this is due to either matrix interference, extract dilution required due to interferences or contaminant levels within
the sample, high moisture content or insufficient sample provided.
2. Duplicate data shown within this report that states the word "BATCH" is a Batch Duplicate from outside of your sample batch, but within the laboratory sample batch at a 1:10 ratio. The Parent
and Duplicate data shown is not data from your samples.
3. Organochlorine Pesticide analysis - where reporting LCS data, Toxaphene & Chlordane are not added to the LCS.
4. Organochlorine Pesticide analysis - where reporting Spike data, Toxaphene is not added to the Spike.
5. Total Recoverable Hydrocarbons - where reporting Spike & LCS data, a single spike of commercial Hydrocarbon products in the range of C12-C30 is added and it's Total Recovery is reported
in the C10-C14 cell of the Report.
6. pH and Free Chlorine analysed in the laboratory - Analysis on this test must begin within 30 minutes of sampling.Therefore laboratory analysis is unlikely to be completed within holding time.
Analysis will begin as soon as possible after sample receipt.
7. Recovery Data (Spikes & Surrogates) - where chromatographic interference does not allow the determination of Recovery the term "INT" appears against that analyte.
8. Polychlorinated Biphenyls are spiked only using Aroclor 1260 in Matrix Spikes and LCS.
9. For Matrix Spikes and LCS results a dash " -" in the report means that the specific analyte was not added to the QC sample.
10. Duplicate RPDs are calculated from raw analytical data thus it is possible to have two sets of data.

Qualifier Codes/Comments
Code Description
N01F2 is determined by arithmetically subtracting the "naphthalene" value from the ">C10-C16" value. The naphthalene value used in this calculation is obtained from volatiles(Purge & Trap analysis).
N02
Where we have reported both volatile (P&T GCMS) and semivolatile (GCMS) naphthalene data, results may not be identical. Provided correct sample handling protocols havebeen followed, any observed differences in results are likely to be due to procedural differences within each methodology. Results determined by both techniques have passedall QAQC acceptance criteria, and are entirely technically valid.
N04F1 is determined by arithmetically subtracting the "Total BTEX" value from the "C6-C10" value. The "Total BTEX" value is obtained by summing the concentrations of BTEXanalytes. The "C6-C10" value is obtained by quantitating against a standard of mixed aromatic/aliphatic analytes.
N07Please note:- These two PAH isomers closely co-elute using the most contemporary analytical methods and both the reported concentration (and the TEQ) apply specifically tothe total of the two co-eluting PAHs
N11
Isotope dilution is used for calibration of each native compound for which an exact labelled analogue is available (Isotope Dilution Quantitation). The isotopically labelledanalogues allow identification and recovery correction of the concentration of the associated native PFAS compounds. Where the native PFAS compound does not have labelledanalogue then the quantification is made using the Extracted Internal Standard Analyte with the closest retention time to the analyte and no recovery correction has been made(Internal Standard Quantitation).

Attachment 2 - Quality assurance/quality control
QA/QC procedures were implemented as per Jacobs standard work procedures and comprised:
· Calibration of water quality meters and groundwater level meters prior to use and retention ofrecords of calibration;
· Engagement of laboratories accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA)for requested analyses;
· Preservation of samples in laboratory prepared sample containers and storage on ice in aninsulated container immediately after collection under chain of custody (CoC) protocols;
· Collection and analysis of blind replicate samples at a rate of one set of replicates per 20samples collected, with all duplicate samples scheduled for the same laboratory analysis as theparent sample;
· Collection and analysis of rinsate blank samples at the end of each sampling day and use oflaboratory prepared trip blank samples to accompany each batch of samples; and
· Replacement of disposable equipment between wells and use appropriate sterile laboratoryprovided bottles with relevant preservatives.
Evaluation of the relative percentage difference (RPD) results from a comparison of replicate samplesto parent samples identified the following exceedances of the 50% acceptance criterion:
· Primary blind replicate - Total organic carbon (100%);
· Split blind replicate – Arsenic, chromium and lead (67%); and
· Split blind replicate – Vanadium (76%).
Review of the results from analysis of rinsate and trip blank samples demonstrates no detection of theanalytes tested for.
Refer to Table 2 for a summary of RPDs and Table 3 for a summary of rinsate and trip blank results.
Review of laboratory QA/QC results suggested compliance with laboratory set QA/QC objectives withthe exception of the following:
· Matrix spike recoveries for PFAS compounds were not determined due to the backgroundlevel being equal to or greater than the spike level; and
· A single matrix spike recovery for sulfate was not determined due to the background levelbeing equal to or greater than the spike level.
All analytes were analysed within the respective acceptable holding times with exception of pH asmeasured in the laboratory in almost all samples.
