The Turner River Bridge Sand Project is a sand and shingle mining project. Mining will be conducted on a campaign basis, generally in drier months. Sand and shingle will be excavated from suitable deposits within the river bed with a front-end loader. This raw material will be loaded directly onto a -40 tonne (t) articulated dump truck and stockpiled on a Run-of-Mine (ROM) pad, east of the eastern river bank.
Between 1,500 to 2,000 t of sand may be mined, carted and stockpiled per day.
Stockpiled sand and shingle is then screened by a mobile screening plant (Terex Finlay 693 or 883 or equivalent). It is expected that during a mining campaign approximately 50,000 t of sand will be mined and/or screened per annum.
A vegetation clearing pennit application has been approved to clear up to 106.90 hectares of vegetation for mining areas, access roads and laydown/ stockpile areas on M45/1193, M45/1173, L45/234 and L45/256. CPS 4034/5 is valid between 15 Janua 2011 and 15 Janua 2021.

Part 4: Proposed activities
The Turner River Bridge Sand Project is a sand and shingie mining project to be conducted on a campaign basis.
Sand and shingle will be excavated from suitable deposits within the river bed with a front-end loader. Mining will take place selectively in pockets that have little or no vegetation. These pockets will be excavated approximately 0.8 - 1.2 metres (m) deep with a loader. This raw material will be loaded directly onto a ~40 t articulated dump truck and stockpiled on a Run-of-Mine (ROM) pad, east of the eastern river bank.
Between 1,500 to 2,000 t of sand may be mined, carted and stockpiled per day. It is proposed that approximately 50,000 t of sand will be extracted from the lease per annum. Conservatively estimating that the sand is one metre deep and the density of the sand is 1.5 t per cubic metre, a yield of 15,000 t per ha will be achieved. Thus to yield 50,000 t of screened sand per annum, approximately 3.5 hectares (ha) will be worked annually.
The Project will utilise a mobile Terex Finlay screening plant, which will operate between the raw feed ROM pad stockpile and the sand and shingle product stockpiles, which are also located on the ROM pad.
The Terex Finlay sizes the material into three sizes; <8 millimetre (mm) sand, 8-65 mm stones, and >65 mm large stones and sticks. The ratio of sand to stone in the TRBSP lease is about 92:8. The main product is <8 mm sand which is conveyed to one side of the plant, 8 mm - 65 mm river shingle which is conveyed to the other side, and an oversize product that consists of >65 mm stones, sticks and plant material is conveyed to the end.
The Terex Finlay screening plant is able to move about and the configuration allows the screening plant to move away from the sand stockpile as it is progressively built.
The screening plant has the capacity to process 100 t per hour. The screening plant is expected to operate between 7 and 10 hours per day, during campaigns, so approximately 700 t to 1000 t of sand and shingle is expected to be processed daily during a campaign. The maximum capacity of the screening plant is 160,000 t per annum.
The >65 mm rock, sticks and vegetative trash will be returned to the mined areas of the riverbed where it will blend with fresh sand brought by intermittent flooding. The small amount of stone (shingle) is progressively cleaned up and stockpiled separately. This stone can be used to sheet access roads and stockpile areas as re uired.

Detailed licence fee calculations
Part 1 Premises component (see regulation 5D and Part 1 of Schedule 4 of the EP Regulations)
The production or design capacity should be the maximum capacity of the premises. For most categories the production or design capacity refers to an annual rate. The figure should be based on 24 hour operation for 365 days, unless there is another regulatory approval or technical reason that restricts operation.
The premises component fee applies to the category in Part 1, Schedule 4 incurring the higher or highest amount of fee units in accordance with regulation 5D{2) of the EP Regulations.
List all categories (insert additional rows as required). Use only the higher or highest amount of fee units to determine the Part 1 fee component.
Category Production or design capacity Fee units - -Using the higher or highest amount of fee units, Part 1 component subtotal -Part 2 Waste (see regulation 5D(1a)(b) and Part 2 of Schedule 4 of the EP Regulations)
If your premises includes one or more of the following categories specify any applicable Part 2 waste amounts. Do not include Part 3 waste components of these discharges in the below sections.
Categories: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 44, 46, 53, 54A, 70, 80, or858
Part 2 waste means waste consisting of -
(a) tailings; or
(b) bitterns; or
(c) water to allow mining of ore; or
(d) flyash; or
(e) waste water from a desalination plant.
If the premises does not fall into one of the categories listed above, or there are no applicable Part 2 waste amounts, the sub total for this section will be $0.
Insert additional rows as required. Sum all Part 2 waste fees to determine the sub total.
Discharge qua~tity (tonnes/year) Fee units

Part 2 component subtotal $0
Part 3 Waste - Discharges to air, onto land, into waters (see Part 3 of Schedule 4 of the EP Regulations)
Choose the appropriate location of the discharge and enter the discharge amount( s) in the units specified in the EP Regulations. This should be the amount of waste expected to be discharged over the next 12 months, expressed in the units and averaging period applicable for that waste kind (for example, g/minute or kg/day). Amounts can be measured, calculated, or estimated and can be based on data acquired over the previous 12 months, but should be based on the maximum premises capacity and not the forecast operating hours.
Where there are discharges, all prescribed waste types must be considered in the fee calculation. If a specified waste type is not present in the discharge, this must be justified using an appropriate emission estimation technique (for example, sampling data, industry sector guidance notes, National Pollution Inventory guides and emission factors).

Proposed works approval amendment or licence amendment fee (see Schedule 4 Part 1 of the EP Regulations).
The fee prescribed for an application for an amendment to a works approval or licence is calculated in accordance with regulation 5B8(1 )(a) of the EP Regulations:
• for a single category of prescribed premises to which the works approval or licence relates, by using the fee unit number corresponding to the prescribed premises category and relevant production or design capacity threshold in Schedule 4 Part 1 of the EP Regulations.
• for multiple categories of prescribed premises to which the works approval or licence relates, by using the highest fee unit number corresponding to the prescribed premises categories and production design or capacity threshold in Schedule 4 Part 1 of the EP Regulations.
The relevant fee unit under Schedule 4 Part 1 of the EP Regulations for calculating the application form amendment fee is to be determined by reference to the actual production or design capacity reported for the preceding year's annual licence fee. If an annual licence fee has not previously been paid or is not applicable as is the case for works approvals, the fee unit for an application for amendment is to be determined by reference to the production or design capacity currently prescribed in the licence or works approval.

ATTACHMENT 3A: PROPOSED ACTIVITIES
The Turner River Bridge Sand Project (TRBSP) (the Project) is situated approximately 25 kilometres (km) south-
west of Port Hedland in Western Australia (WA). The Project is located within Mining Lease M45/1193, which is
held by Hanson Construction Materials Pty Ltd. The lease is situated within and adjacent to the Turner River, at
the east end of the Turner River bridge, and is accessed from Great Northern Highway. The Project is within the
boundary of the Town of Port Hedland and pastoral lease Boodarie Station, owned by BHP.
The location of the Project is illustrated in Figure 1.
The TRBSP is a sand and shingle mining project. Mining will generally be conducted on a campaign basis to mine
sand when it is dryer as the sand is more easily screened when the moisture content is not excessive. Sand and
shingle will be excavated from suitable deposits within the river bed with a front-end loader. Mining will take
place selectively in pockets that have little or no vegetation. These pockets will be excavated approximately 0.8
– 1.2 metres (m) deep with a loader. This raw material will be loaded directly onto a ~40 tonne (t) articulated
dump truck and stockpiled on a Run-of-Mine (ROM) pad, east of the eastern river bank. Between 1,500 to 2,000
t of sand may be mined, carted and stockpiled per day.
The sand is replenished when the river floods, thus the Project is expected to be ongoing for the duration of the
mining lease.
It is proposed that approximately 50,000 t of sand will be extracted from the lease per annum. Conservatively
estimating that the sand is one metre deep and the density of the sand is 1.5 t per cubic metre, a yield of 15,000 t
per ha will be achieved. Thus to yield 50,000 t of screened sand per annum, approximately 3.5 hectares (ha) will
be worked annually.

PROCESSING PLANT (CATEGORY 12)
The TRBSP will utilise a mobile Terex Finlay 883 (or equivalent) screening plant, which will operate between the
raw feed ROM pad stockpile and the sand and shingle product stockpiles, which are also located on the ROM
pad. The screening plant is illustrated in Plate 1 and a schematic of the screening plant taken from the operating
manual is provided in Figure 2.
The Terex Finlay 883 sizes the material into three sizes; <8 millimetre (mm) sand, 8-65 mm stones, and >65 mm
large stones and sticks. The ratio of sand to stone in the TRBSP lease is about 92:8.
The main product is <8 mm sand which is conveyed to one side of the plant, 8 mm – 65 mm river shingle which
is conveyed to the other side, and an oversize product that consists of >65 mm stones, sticks and plant material
is conveyed to the end. The Terex Finlay 883 screening plant is able to move about and the configuration allows
the screening plant to move away from the sand stockpile as it is progressively built.
Sand will be screened and stockpiled from the north-east corner of the ROM pad back towards the ramp. The
screening plant has the capacity to process 100 t per hour. HCM expects to operate the screening plant for
between 7 and 10 hours per day, so approximately 700 t to 1000 t of sand and shingle is expected to be
processed daily during a campaign. The maximum capacity of the screening plant is 160,000 t per annum.
The >65 mm rock, sticks and trash will be returned to the mined areas of the riverbed where it will blend with
fresh sand brought by intermittent flooding. The small amount of stone (shingle) is progressively cleaned up and
stockpiled separately. This stone is used to sheet access roads and stockpile areas as required.

SITE INFRASTRUCTURE
Power
Power is supplied by a 25 kilo-volt-ampere (kVA) generator set. The generator and its fuel supply are stored in
a sea container that contains a 1,500 litre (L) bund tray. The fuel tank is refilled on a daily basis.
Non-Process Infrastructure
The non-process infrastructure consists of an on-site donga to serve as an office/crib room, a weigh bridge and
recording shed, a monitoring bore, a water tank and three sea containers. One sea container will have an
attached Westarp shade area, one self-bunded container will be used for fuel and oil storage and the other to
contain the generator set and its fuel supply. HCM will use a transportable toilet on site for ablution facilities.
Both bunded sea containers are located on the raised infrastructure area, which ensures they are elevated at
least 1 m above the natural ground level. The bund tray design will comply with Australian Standard (AS)
1940:2017 The Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids and with regard to Water Quality
Protection Guidelines 1-11 Mining and Minerals Processing (Water and Rivers Commission, 1999a), particularly
guideline 10, Above Ground Fuel and Chemical Storage.
The monitoring bore will be constructed in accordance with Water Quality Protection Guideline No.4 Installation
of Minesite Groundwater Monitoring Bores (Water and Rivers Commission 2000a) and monitored quarterly with
regard to Water Quality Protection Guideline No.5 Water Quality Monitoring (Water and Rivers Commission,
2000b). The groundwater monitoring program will measure standard parameters and petroleum hydrocarbons
and will be reported as per requirements of Water Licence GWL 176061(2).
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
During the construction phase of the Project, the screening plant was transported by truck to the product
stockpile area on the ROM pad. Upon completion of construction the screening plant is to be tested prior to full
operations. Most infrastructure at the site is mobile and will not require extensive construction. HCM anticipates
the commissioning for the Project will be completed within 3 months of construction.

ATTACHMENT 6A: EMISSIONS AND DISCHARGES
The proposed activities at the TRBSP have potential to cause air emissions. Management strategies for these
emissions are provided below. The location of emission discharge points is shown on Attachment 2.
AIR EMISSIONS
Prevailing winds in the area are from an east to south-east direction in the morning, shifting to north / north-
west in the afternoons. Wind speeds are predominately 20 kilometres per hour (km/h) to 30 km/h throughout
the day (Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), 2018a). Wind roses displaying wind speed and direction recorded at
Port Hedland airport weather station for 9am and 3pm are presented in Figure 3. Given the limited hours of
operation and wind direction infrequently blowing in the direction of Turner River Estate at low to moderate
speeds, it is unlikely particulate emissions will cause significant environmental impact.

NOISE
The key noise impacts for the operation will be from excavation, dump truck activities, screening plant operation
and loading haulage trucks. The closest noise receptor for the TRBSP site is the Turner River Estate, which is
approximately 1.9 km away from the stockpile area where the screening plant will be located.
Noise will occur in daylight hours from 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday. On Sundays and public holidays
operations will be carried out after 9am. These hours of operation are stipulated in tenement condition number
53 of M45/1193 as follows:
“All operational activities being carried out between the daylight hours of 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday and
after 9.00am on Sundays and public holidays.”
This condition will be adhered to at all times.
The generator will emit noise at approximately 60 decibels (dB), which will dissipate to approximately 11.3 dB
at the closest receptor. The screening plant emits noise at 98 dB, dissipating to approximately 46 dB at the
closest receptor. In addition, the screening plant will be situated behind product stockpiles that will act as a
buffer for sound emitted.
Given the Turner River Estate is located south-west of the Project, not within the predominant wind direction
(Figure 3), and noise levels will not be excessive, noise emissions are not expected to significantly impact
residents in the estate.
Plant and equipment at the TRBSP will be regularly maintained to ensure noise generation does not exceed the
standards prescribed in the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 (WA), Regulation 8, Table 1.
Specific measures to reduce impacts from noise emissions are included in Table 4 below.
Table 4: Management Strategies for Noise Emissions at the Turner River Bridge Sand Project
Aspect Management Strategy
Noise
• Ensure vehicles, plant and machinery are serviced and maintained to system requirements to avoid unnecessary noise; implement noise mitigation measure where appropriate.
• Any complaints regarding excessive noise generation will be investigated and mitigating measures implemented where required.
PRESCRIBED PREMISES LICENCE APPLICATION SUPPORTING DOCUMENT – TURNER RIVER BRIDGE SAND PROJECT
HANSON CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS PTY LTD Page | 26
DUST
Dust is not expected to be a significant environmental contaminant due to several factors. The sand to be
excavated during the project retains a small but significant moisture content that almost eliminates the potential
for dust generation during excavation, screening, stockpiling and loading of haul vehicles. Additionally, sand of
this type (suitable for concrete) generally contains negligible amounts of the extremely fine particles that
generate dust. Sheeting access roads, the laydown/stockpile area and the river-bed access ramp with river
shingle will mitigate dust generation from vehicle movements. Visual monitoring of dust will be regularly
conducted and activities halted if adverse conditions lead to excessive dust generation. A water cart will be
employed to suppress dust if it becomes problematic. The water cart will be fitted with:
• A dribble bar for roadway watering; and
• Independently controlled large side bars for watering down the stockpiles.
Specific management measures to reduce impacts from dust are provided in Table 5.
Table 5: Management Strategies for Dust Emissions at the Turner River Bridge Sand Project
Aspect Management Strategy
Dust
• Incorporate dust management into the TRBSP site protocols, including inspection requirements, mitigation strategies (sheeting pindan/clay area with river shingle) and suppression techniques to be employed (primarily water spray).
• Ensure hardstand area and roads contain adequate moisture to minimise dust impacts.
• Ensure all staff and contractors visually monitor dust levels. In the event that weather conditions lead to extreme dust generation, halt activities until conditions alter.
• Any complaints regarding excessive dust generation will be investigated and mitigating measures implemented where required.

ATTACHMENT 7: SITING AND LOCATION (TOPOGRAPHY, GEOLOGY, SOIL TYPE,
GROUNDWATER DEPTH AND WATER QUALITY)
A map showing the siting and location of the premises, including identification of distances to sensitive land uses
and/or any specified ecosystems is included as Figure 1. Additional information on topography, geology, soils,
and hydrogeology is provided below.
SENSITIVE LAND USES
The closest sensitive land use from the Project is the Turner River Estate, situated to the south of M45/1193,
approximately 1.9 km away from the stockpile area. There are no other sensitive land uses within the immediate
vicinity of the TRBSP.
The Project area is not within or adjacent to any national park, conservation park, conservation reserve or
Environmental Sensitive Area (ESA). The closest specified ecosystem is the Leslie Saltfields, a wetland of national
significance situated approximately 32 km north-east of the TRBSP.
TOPOGRAPHY
The TRBSP is located on the alluvial floodplain of the Turner River in the Pilbara region of WA. A study of the
River Land System by Van Vreeswyk et al. (2004) included the Project area, which was described as:
‘’Flood plains and river terraces subject to fairly regular overbank flooding from major channels and
watercourses, sandy banks and poorly defined levees and cobble plains. Banks, levees and slightly higher upper
terraces receive less regular flooding than lower terraces and floodplains.”
The River Land System accounted for 4088 square kilometres (km2) or 2.3 percent (%) of the Pilbara region
survey area (Van Vreeswyk et al., 2004).
GEOLOGY
Regional Geology
The geology of the area has been classified as quaternary alluvium, consisting of mainly flood plain alluvium
which lies unconformably over Archaean basement rock of granite and greenstones of the Pilbara Craton (Haig,
2009).
Local Geology
Quarternary to recent alluvium lithology consists of clay and sand with minor gravel. The alluvium is within a
northerly trending valley, overlapping with the Turner River (Haig, 2009).
PRESCRIBED PREMISES LICENCE APPLICATION SUPPORTING DOCUMENT – TURNER RIVER BRIDGE SAND PROJECT
HANSON CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS PTY LTD Page | 28
SOILS
The characteristic soil types in the area are clay with sand overlay and loamy earth soils on the eastern side of
the river.
The Department of Agriculture description of land systems shows that there are three main land systems within
the Project area: the Mallina Land System, the River Land System, and the Uaroo Land System (Van Vreeswyk et
al, 2004).
These land systems are described as follows:
Mallina Land System: Sandy surfaced alluvial plains supporting soft spinifex (and occasionally hard
Spinifex) grasslands. Red deep sandy duplex soils. 1.4% of the Pilbara survey area.
River Land System: Active flood plains, major rivers and banks supporting grassy eucalypt woodlands,
tussock grasslands and soft spinifex grasslands. Red shallow sand on granite soils. 2.3% of the Pilbara
survey area.
Uaroo Land System: Broad sand plains supporting shrubby hard and soft Spinifex grasslands. Red
shallow sand on granite soils. 4.2% of the Pilbara survey area.
HYDROGEOLOGY
Regional Hydrogeology
The Turner River is associated with two aquifers; in the alluvial sediments and in the weathered bedrock. These
occur adjacent to and downstream of the TRBSP. The water bearing sections in the alluvium 6-7 m thick have
been found but are highly variable due to the heterogeneity of the sediment and can occur 30-40 m below the
surface. The weathered bedrock aquifer has shown to be hydraulically connected with the alluvial aquifer (Haig,
2009).
Local Hydrogeology
Recharge of the alluvial aquifer is from surface flows rather than rainfall, as average annual evaporation for the
region is around 3,200 mm (BoM, 2018b), greatly exceeding annual mean rainfall of 319.2 mm (BoM, 2018a).
Recharge of the aquifer occurs during high flows and floods as the recharge area of the alluvial plain stretches
from 2 km west to 5 km east of the Turner River (Water and Rivers Commission, 2000c).
Groundwater reports of the Turner River area (Farbridge, 1967; Department of Water, 2011) detailing
potentiometric head contours (15 m AHD) and topographic contours (30 m AHD), indicate water depth at the
TRBSP is approximately 15 m below the surface.
Groundwater Management Areas
The Project is situated within the Pilbara Groundwater Management Area, which is proclaimed under the Rights
in Water and Irrigation Act 1914 (RIWI Act).
PRESCRIBED PREMISES LICENCE APPLICATION SUPPORTING DOCUMENT – TURNER RIVER BRIDGE SAND PROJECT
HANSON CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS PTY LTD Page | 29
SURFACE WATER
Regional Surface Water
The TRBSP lies within the bed, banks and on the flood plain of the Turner River, a relatively large watercourse
that flows into the Indian Ocean approximately 20 km downstream. The Turner River originates near Pullcunah
Hill and drops 297 m over its 253 km length, flowing in a northerly direction.
The catchment area for the Turner River is 885 km2 (Haig, 2009).
Local Surface Water
The Turner River is a highly variable seasonal watercourse fed by scattered thunderstorms and rain associated
with occasional tropical cyclones and tropical cloud bands. The only gauging station on the river is at Pincunah,
almost 90 km from the Project site, where automatic recordings of river heights have been made for
approximately 20 years. The mean annual flow of the Turner River at Pincunah is 29 gigalitres, with low flow
events in 7 years and no flow events for 4 years. The longest continuous period of no flows was 30 months (Haig,
2009). The major flood level at Pincunah is 3 m. It is considered that major flooding at Pincunah has the potential
to cause some flooding at the Turner River Bridge site.
Surface Water Management Areas
The Project is situated within the Pilbara Surface Water Area, proclaimed under the RIWI Act.
The TRBSP is also located within the Turner River Water Reserve (TRWR), previously a Public Drinking Water
Source Area (PDWSA), which was de-proclaimed in October 2011. Although the TRWR has been de-proclaimed,
HCM’s mining operations will continue to observe Water Quality Protection Guidelines number 1-11 (Water and
Rivers Commission, 1999a) and be guided by Guidelines for Sand Mining in a PDWSA (Water and Rivers
Commission, 1999b).
