1. INTRODUCTION

As per conditions M1 to M7 of Environment Protection Licence (EPL) 3607, this report summarises environmental monitoring

results for Springvale Coal Services for the period August2015. Monitoring sites are shown on the Lambert’s Gully Mine Site

section of the Centennial website and in Appendix 1. Although EPL 3607 also covers Springvale Colliery, monitoring data from

this site will be reported separately from this Springvale Coal Services Monitoring Report.

A summary of the licence information is provided in the following tables. Table 1 shows the licence information and Table 2

summarises the parameters, units and dates of sampling for monitoring data for the reporting period. It should be noted that

there was a variation to EPL 3607 issued on 12 August 2014.

shown in Table 3 below.

3. AIR QUALITY MONITORING

The air quality monitoring results for the reporting period are summarised below.

3.1 Depositional Dust

Depositional dust (g/m2/month) results (insoluble solids) for the year to date are shown in Table 4.

CS-D5 (Point 8-5) BD 0.5 0.7 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.6 0.6

CS-D# – Coal Services Dust Gauge

EPL 3607 does not include a licence limit for depositional dust, however a rolling average air quality criteria of 4 g/m2/mth is

commonly used for comparison purposes. Dust monitoring data indicates that dust deposition results for August2015 range

from below 0.6 at CS_D5 to 6.4 g/m2/month at CS_D3.

4. SURFACE WATER QUALITY

Surface water pH, total suspended solids (TSS mg/L), electrical conductivity (EC µS/cm), oil and grease (mg/L), filterable iron,

filterable manganese are monitored at LDP006 as indicated on the Environmental Monitoring location figure, located in

Appendix 1 and on the Centennial website. LDP007 is also part of the EPL however this monitoring location is the discharge

from a sump and generally has no discharge.

5. INCIDENTS

A sump at conveyor transfer tower No.3 over flowed. The area was cleaned up and the frequency of sump maintenance has

been increased.

6. NOISE MONITORING

Noise monitoring for the operation is conducted at monitoring locations detailed in Appendix 2.

Activities from WCS complied with the relevant development consent noise limits during monitoring on 18 and 19 August 2015

at all monitoring locations.

7. COMPLAINTS

There were no community complaints during the reporting period.

Notes:

1. Criterion may or may not apply due to rounding of meteorological data values;

2. Noise emission limits do not apply during the following meteorological conditions: wind speeds greater than 3 metres

per second (at a height of 10 metres); or temperature inversion conditions greater than 3oC/100m;

3. Estimated or measured LAeq,15min attributed to WCS;

4. Bolded results in red indicate exceedance of criteria; and

5. NA in exceedance column means atmospheric conditions outside conditions specified in development consent and so

criterion is not applicable.
