20 Draft EA Conditions

This chapter sets out the substantive obligations which Metro Mining envisages may be contained

within the Project’s draft Environmental Authority (EA). The presentation of the following EA

conditions is intended to assist with the process of developing appropriate EA conditions for the

Project in consultation with the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP). This

chapter does not attempt to replace or replicate the Notice of Decision stage of the EA application

process under Chapter 5, Division 3, subdivision 2 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (EP Act).

EHP determines an application for a mining project EA in accordance with the requirements of the

Environmental Protection Act 1994 (EP Act) with consideration to its Regulatory Strategy and model

mining conditions (EM944) respectively.

The Regulatory Strategy provides for EHP’s operational delivery. This established the onus of

environmental management and compliance on mining EA permit holders, with EHP focussing

largely on compliance monitoring backed up by appropriate enforcement or stopping activities

where compliance is not met.

The Model Mining Conditions and Model Conditions for Structures provide a basis for proposing

environmental protection commitments in EA application documents. The Model Mining Conditions

guideline acknowledges that assessment and conditioning must be based on the specific

circumstances for each project. The guideline allows for modification of the Model Mining

Conditions to tailor for site-specific conditions and project circumstances.

The proposed conditions presented within this chapter have been derived to address the

anticipated impacts of the Project and are developed to be measurable and auditable. Where

alterations or alternative conditioning, from the Model Mining Conditions has been proposed to

account for Project specific circumstances, an explanatory box has been provided beneath the

condition. The box explains the change and provides reasoning for the alteration. For ease of

application and review the proposed EA conditions have been structured as per the EM994 and

EM634 guidelines.

20.1 Project Overview

Aldoga Minerals Pty Ltd (Aldoga), a 100% owned subsidiary of Metro Mining Limited (Metro

Mining), proposes to develop the Project located on a greenfield site on the western coastline of

Cape York, Queensland, approximately 35 kilometres (km) northeast of Mapoon. The Project will

include an open cut operation, haul roads, Barge Loading Facility (BLF), Roll on/Roll off (RoRo)

facility, transhipping and will produce and transport up to 5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of ore

over approximately 12 years. The mine will not be operational during the wet season.

The Project is characterised by several shallow open cut pits that will be connected via internal haul

roads. The internal haul roads will be connected to a main north-south haul road that will link with

the Mine Infrastructure Area (MIA), BLF and RoRo facility located to the north of the pits on the

Skardon River. Bauxite will be screened in-pit and then hauled to the product stockpile using road

train trucks.

Bauxite from the Project is suitable as a Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) product (i.e. ore is extracted and

loaded directly to ships with no washing or tailings dams required). Bauxite will be transported by

barge via the Skardon River to the transhipment site, approximately 12 km offshore, and loaded into

Bauxite Hills Project Draft EA Conditions

20-2

ocean going vessels (OGVs) and shipped to customers. No dredging or bed-levelling for transhipping

is proposed as part of this Project.

OGVs of between 50,000 to 120,000 tonne (t) each will be loaded at the transhipment anchorage

site. Vessels will be loaded and bauxite will be transported to OGVs 24 hours per day with barges

having an initial capacity of approximately 3,000 t to meet early production volumes, increasing up

to 7,000 t as the Project reaches a maximum production volume of 5 Mtpa.

The construction of the mine is due to commence in April 2017 and is expected to take seven months

to complete. The first shipment of bauxite is planned for October 2017. The Project will be 100%

fly-in fly-out (FIFO) due to its remote location. The Project will operate over two 12 hour shifts per

day for approximately eight months of the year and is expected to employ up to 254 employees

during peak operations. In addition to the workforce, it is expected that the Project will result in the

employment of additional workers through local and regional businesses servicing the

accommodation camp and the construction and operation of the mine.

b. Immediately implement odour abatement measures so that emissions of odour from the

activity do not result in further environmental nuisance.

Light

investigation is in the opinion of an authorised person causing a nuisance at a sensitive place, the

administering authority may request the holder of this environmental authority to take appropriate

action to mitigate the nuisance and the holder must take appropriate action (e.g. by screening or

directing the light away from the sensitive place) within a time set by the administering authority.

any of the trigger levels stated, the holder of this environmental authority must complete an

investigation in accordance with the ANZECC and ARMCANZ 2000.

Bore construction and maintenance and decommissioning.

(E5) The construction, maintenance and management of groundwater bores (including

groundwater monitoring bores) must be undertaken in a manner that prevents or minimizes

impacts to the environment and ensures the integrity of the bores to obtain accurate monitoring.

20.2.9 Schedule F – Water

Contaminant Release

(F1) Contaminants that will, or have the potential to cause environmental harm must not be

released directly or indirectly to any waters as a result of the authorised mining activities, except as

permitted under the conditions of this environmental authority.

Receiving waters and water quality parameters

(F2) Receiving waters affected by the release of water from storm water contaminated by the

mining activities (bauxite mining) must be monitored at the locations and frequencies defined in

Table 20-7 and Table 20-8 and shown at Figure 20-3 and comply with the interim contaminant

trigger limits defined in Table 20-9 and Table 20-10 for marine / estuarine waters, respectively.

Note that the interim trigger values will be progressively updated prior to construction and

operation as additional water quality data are collected during monitoring events.

Metro mining does not propose to release waters to freshwater or wetland receiving waters. As such

no release point monitoring locations are nominated. A release point is proposed at the MIA that

will release waters to estuarine receiving water. A release point monitoring location is nominated

in Table 20-8.

Note: Preliminary WQOs are provided in Table 20-6 and are based AWQG – 99% trigger values, AWQG – aquaculture

and model mining conditions and site data where no published trigger values are available. Additional and ongoing

sampling will be undertaken to derive site specific local WQOs for the 20th, 50th and 80th percentiles.

interpretations must be prepared annually and made available on request to the administrating

authority. This must include an assessment of background reference water quality, the condition of

downstream water quality compared against water quality objectives, and the suitability of current

discharge limits to protect downstream environmental values.

qualified person with any amendments implemented for all stages of the mining activities on the

site to minimize erosion and the release of sediment to receiving waters and contamination of

stormwater.

(F18) Stormwater, other than mine affected water, is permitted to be released to waters from:

a. Erosion and sediment control structures that are installed and operated in accordance with

the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan required by condition F11; and

cross watercourses; and

Relevant aspects of the engineering Guidelines for Queensland for Soil Erosion and Sediment

Control will be followed.
