As regular visitors to the wetlands surrounding Sandgate with our young family we have serious concerns around the safety and the environment with the proposed storage of such a significant amount of explosives.

Why can this product not be stored closer to the end user and in areas that afford more appropriate storage.

This is a short term gain to a company now and a possible long term loss to future generations of wetland users. Storage facilities for ammonia nitrate can be built in many places - wetlands can not!

I am writing to object to the proposal to store 13500 tonnes of ammonium nitrate at the Crawford's facility Sandgate. I travel along Maitland road each day to go to work passing the facility mentioned in the DA to and from my workplace. The consequences of an ammonium nitrate accident are significant and pose a significant threat to people and the environment.

The proposed store is:

· In flood prone location
· Very close proximity to major arterial roads (Maitland Rd, Shortland bypass)
· Close proximity to residential areas in Sandgate.
· Close proximity to aged care facility.
· Will impact on the Shortland Wetland

Ammonium nitrate storage needs to be separated from normally daily activities because if an explosion occurs, many people will be killed and severely hurt. Also residential properties will be significantly damaged.

I object to the proposal.

The site is situated within a few hundred metres of the nearest residence, and very close to an aged care facility and retirement village. In the event of an explosion the consequences would be potentially catastrophic and for a lesser incident evacuation would be difficult. .
