Executive Summary
Executive Summary This page has been left blank intentionally EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction Tellus Holdings Ltd (Tellus) propose to construct and operate an underground rock salt mine and complementary storage, recovery and permanent isolation facility (herein referred to as the ‘Chandler Facility’). A rail siding and temporary storage and transfer facility (herein referred to as the ‘Apirnta Facility’) is also proposed. A private haul road linking the two facilities (herein referred to as the ‘Chandler Haul Road’) would be constructed. A private access road (herein referred to as ‘Henbury Access Road’), would be constructed to link the Apirnta Facility with the Stuart Highway. Collectively, the two proposed facilities, the haul and access roads, are referred to as ‘the Proposal’. If approved, the Chandler Facility and the majority of the Chandler Haul Road would be located within a pastoral lease (Maryvale Station). The proposed site approximately 120 kilometres south of Alice Springs and about 25 kilometres by road from the community of Titjikala in the Northern Territory (NT) (refer to Figure ES-1). The Apirnta Facility, Henbury Access Road and a portion of the Chandler Haul Road would be located to the west of the proposed Chandler Facility, also on a pastoral lease (the Henbury Station). Figure ES-1 Location of the Proposal This Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared by Tellus to support key approvals under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), the NT Mining Management Act (MM Act), the NT Environmental Assessment Act (EA Act) and the NT Waste Management Pollution Control Act (WMPC Act) for the construction, operation, and closure and rehabilitation of the Proposal. -
