7. Recommendations
7.1 Surface water
Sheetflow is likely to occur within the vicinity of the Explosives Warehouse and Drainage Water
Pond in the north-western portions of the site, and along the access road and pipeline corridor
within the south eastern portion of the site. No specific drainage lines have been defined in
these areas and it is recommended that regularly spaced and appropriately sized culverts be
installed across the access road that minimise sheetflow shadow zones.
A preliminary flood risk assessment indicates that the WRF and the Mine Pit may experience
flood depths of up to 0.5 m under the 1% and 2% AEP events. Flood depths within the areas of
the proposed Drainage Water Pond and Explosives Warehouse were also simulated to be up to
0.3 m. These flood depths are a result of the proximity of the above locations to the WPW.
The linear infrastructure corridor within the south-eastern portion of the mine is simulated to
reach flood depths of up to 0.2 m under the same events. Flood depths within the remaining
areas of the mine site (Power Station, Guard House, Crusher, Parking, Ore Stockpile,
Processing Plant, Fresh Water Pond, Administration, Workshop, DPWF) are simulated to be
within 0.2 m for both the 1% and 2% AEP events.
The limitations in the range of detailed elevation data and the preliminary nature of this
assessment should be noted and further surveys and assessment will be required to validate
these findings.
Given the preliminary nature of the project, it is recommended that, where practical,
consideration should be given in the first instance to moving proposed infrastructure to areas
that are less prone to flooding. This may be most applicable to the WRF, Drainage Water Pond,
and Explosives Warehouse given their locations are traversed by the WPW. Should relocation
be unavoidable, the following additional measures are also recommended:
Suitably designed bunding, rock armour, or other armouring product to protect the WRF,
Drainage Water Pond, Mine Pit, and Explosives Warehouse, and DPWF; and
Construction on raised earth platform for the Ore Stockpile, Drainage Water Pond,
Explosives Warehouse, Processing Plant, Workshop, and Administration infrastructure.
Should further investigation indicate bunding is insufficient to mitigate impacts on the WRF or
Mine Pit, diversion of the WPW between the Mine Pit and WRF may also be required.
Sediment sampling was undertaken to characterise sediment quality as a proxy for water quality
given the infrequent nature of flow events within the region. During pre-development, it is
recommended that the sediment sampling be repeated following the next significant runoff
event to assess change in quality due to sediment migration. Ideally, opportunistic water
samples should also be retrieved at accessible sites (if possible). An ongoing monitoring plan
should be developed upon consolidation of key infrastructure, and implemented during
construction and post-development.
7.2 Contamination management
In order to better define the potential contamination risks, it is recommended that:
Material characterisation of the waste rock and ore body be undertaken to determine the
presence/absence of PAF material. If PAF material exists within the waste rock, it should
be appropriately disposed in a dedicated facility which is constructed in a way which will
prevent and minimise acid generation. Periodic testing of the waste rock and stockpiled
ore should also be conducted to confirm the presence/absence of PAF material during

mining operations, and further characterisation of the ore body should be conducted to
determine the salinity profiles thereof;
Targeted sampling of the ambient surface and subsurface properties of proposed sample
sites is recommended to confirm the presence / absence of dispersive soils.
To mitigate risks of contamination, it is recommended that where practical, consideration should
be given in the first instance to moving proposed infrastructure identified to be impacted by
flooding to areas that are less prone to flooding. This may be most applicable to the WRF,
Drainage Water Pond, and Explosives Warehouse given their locations are intercepted by the
WPW. Where relocation is not possible, alternative mitigation measures are also outlined below.
Runoff from the WRF, DPWF and ore stockpiles should be contained and directed to
appropriately sized sedimentation ponds for managed release to the environment or for
reuse around the site;
Runoff from concentrate stockpiles should be contained and drainage water recovered
and recycled for dust suppression or processing purposes;
The operation of the various water storages should ensure mixing and that any outflow to
the environment considers the salinity of discharges;
The design and construction of linear infrastructure corridors (access corridor, water
pipeline) should minimise changes to the hydrology and geomorphology of watercourses,
and minimise the risk of exposure of dispersive soils. This should include rock armour
protection from scour and erosion along the edges of causeways.
The key control measures for water management should include:
Preparation of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan to provide a framework for
managing the risk of erosion and release of sediments to receiving environment or the
contamination of stormwater (including delineation of runoff separation catchments); and
Preparation of a Water Management Plan for mine operation with a particular focus on
mine affected water to be retained within the mine water system and discharged through
controlled release points.

4. Actual LORs are matrix dependant. Quoted LORs may be raised where sample extracts are diluted due to interferences.
5. Results are uncorrected for matrix spikes or surrogate recoveries except for PFAS compounds.
6. SVOC analysis on waters are performed on homogenised, unfiltered samples, unless noted otherwise.
7. Samples were analysed on an 'as received' basis.
8. 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 SRA.
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.
For VOCs containing vinyl chloride, styrene and 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether the holding time is 7 days however for all other VOCs such as BTEX or C6-10 TRH then the holding time is 14 days.

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.

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).

2. All soil results are reported on a dry basis, unless otherwise stated.
3. All biota/food results are reported on a wet weight basis on the edible portion, unless otherwise stated.
4. Actual LORs are matrix dependant. Quoted LORs may be raised where sample extracts are diluted due to interferences.
5. Results are uncorrected for matrix spikes or surrogate recoveries except for PFAS compounds.
6. SVOC analysis on waters are performed on homogenised, unfiltered samples, unless noted otherwise.
7. Samples were analysed on an 'as received' basis.
8. 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 SRA.
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.
For VOCs containing vinyl chloride, styrene and 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether the holding time is 7 days however for all other VOCs such as BTEX or C6-10 TRH then the holding time is 14 days.
