Sodium Cyanide Cowal Gold Project – Addendum to the Transport of Hazardous Materials Study The approved road transport of sodium cyanide (within NSW) for the Cowal Gold Project begins at the Chullora Railfast Centre (Sydney), where it is then transferred by road to the Camellia Freight Terminal (Sydney) and transported by rail to Dubbo. From Dubbo, it then resumes transport by road to the Project. Barrick (Cowal) Limited (Barrick) has identified an alternative transport route that involves road transport of sodium cyanide to the Maritime Container Services (Sydney), where it will then be transferred by rail to Dubbo. An Addendum to the Transport of Hazardous Materials Study has been prepared to reflect the proposed route for the transport of sodium cyanide from the Chullora Railfast Centre to Maritime Container Services (Sydney).

HAL-02-07\00685142.doc Cowal Gold Project – Transport of Hazardous Materials Study SECTION 4.1 HAL-02-07\00685142.doc Cowal Gold Project – Transport of Hazardous Materials Study 4.1 SODIUM CYANIDE Road transport of sodium cyanide within NSW begins at the Chullora Railfast Centre, Sydney. Following a short transfer by road from the Chullora Railfast Centre to either the Camellia Freight Terminal or Maritime Container Services, sodium cyanide will be transported by rail to Dubbo where it will resume transport by road to the Project. The road transport route for sodium cyanide to the Project has been divided into five segments (Segments 1 to 5) for the purpose of route evaluation. Route evaluations for Segments 1 to 5 are attached to this THMS as Attachments 1A to 1E, respectively. Segments 1 to 5 are described below: • Segment 1 (Attachment 1A): from the Chullora Railfast Centre to the Camellia Freight Terminal (Sydney) or Maritime Container Services (Sydney). • Segment 2 (Attachment 1B): from the Dubbo Railway Station to the Patrick Logistics Storage Facility (Dubbo). • Segment 3 (Attachment 1C): from the Patrick Logistics Storage Facility to the Newell Highway (Dubbo). • Segment 4 (Attachment 1D): from the Newell Highway (Dubbo) to Newell Highway/Mid Western Highway (West Wyalong). • Segment 5 (Attachment 1E): from the Newell Highway/Mid Western Highway (West Wyalong) to the Cowal Gold Project. A summary of the outcomes of the route evaluations for Segments 1 to 5, including the identification of suitable transport routes, is provided below. The overall sodium cyanide transport route to the Project and suitable transport routes for Segments 1 to 5 are shown on Figures 3 to 7. Barrick (Cowal) Limited (Barrick) has recently been informed of changes in rail supply arrangements which have made the Camellia Freight Terminal (Sydney) temporarily unavailable and triggered the requirement for the road transport of sodium cyanide from the Chullora Railfast Centre (Sydney) to the Maritime Container Services (Sydney). As such, this THMS has been revised to incorporate an alternative route for the road transport of sodium cyanide from the Chullora Railfast Centre to the Maritime Container Services for Segment 1. Routes 1A, 1B and 1C have been previously approved as routes suitable for the transport of sodium cyanide from the Chullora Railfast Centre to the Camellia Freight Terminal for Segment 1. Route 1D has been identified as an alternative route for the road transport of sodium cyanide from the Chullora Railfast Centre to the Maritime Container Services for Segment 1. The option to use Routes 1A, 1B and 1C has been retained, given that these routes may be required to be used in the future should the rail supply arrangements revert back to the Camellia Freight Terminal.

All routes are assessed as posing a minimal to acceptable level of risk to surrounding people, property and the natural environment. Therefore, Routes 1A, 1B and 1C are all suitable for the transport of sodium cyanide from the Chullora Railfast Centre to the Camellia Freight Terminal for Segment 1. Routes 1A, 1B and 1C are shown on Figure 4. Following consideration of the preliminary and secondary screening factors and consultation with Councils, the RTA and the transport provider, Route 1B has been identified as the preferred route for the transport of sodium cyanide from the Chullora Railfast Centre to the Camellia Freight Terminal. Route 1D (Table 3) has been identified as a potential available route for heavy vehicles for the transport of sodium cyanide from the Chullora Railfast Centre to the Maritime Container Services for Segment 1 and is suitable for the transport of hazardous materials when tested against mandatory considerations, subjective factors, road and traffic factors, emergency response capability, operational factors and risk (including environmental and landuse factors). Route 1D is assessed as posing a minimal level of risk to surrounding people, property and the natural environment. This route has also been recommended by the transport provider for the transport of hazardous materials. Consultation with Councils regarding Route 1D was also undertaken and Council comments have been taken into consideration by the THMS. Previous consultation with the RTA was also taken into consideration by the THMS. Therefore, Route 1D is suitable for the transport of hazardous materials and is the preferred route for the transport of sodium cyanide from the Chullora Railfast Centre to the Maritime Container Services. Route 1D is shown on Figure 4. Table 3 Sodium Cyanide – Segment 1 – Suitable Transport Routes Route Directions 1A On exiting the Chullora Railfast Centre, take the private road into Dasea Street, then turn right into Muir Road and right into Rookwood Road which becomes Joseph Street, Olympic Drive, Boorea Street and St. Hilliers Road.

  • Installation of New and Extended Clearways on Windsor Road And
    Installation of new and extended clearways on Windsor Road and Church Street from Baulkham Hills to Parramatta Roads and Maritime Services | January 2018 The NSW Government is funding this project as part of its $121 million Clearways Program, which aims to reduce congestion and delays on Sydney’s roads. Roads and Maritime Services is installing new Clearways on Windsor Road and Church Street, Baulkham weekend and extended weekday clearways on Hills to Parramatta Windsor Road and Church Street from Old Northern Road, Baulkham Hills to Victoria Road, Parramatta in February 2018. We have included a map to show the location of the new clearways. Changes to the clearways will be operational from Monday 26 February 2018. Any vehicles parked in the clearways on or after these dates will risk being fined and towed. The new weekend and extended weekday clearway hours on Windsor Road are shown on the map. The new clearways will replace the existing ‘No Stopping’ and ‘No Parking’ restrictions on Church Street, between James Ruse Drive and Victoria Road, and the existing bus lanes on Church Street will continue to operate with no changes. What is a clearway? A clearway is a section of road where stopping and parking is not allowed during the times shown on the clearway sign. Clearways are put on key arterial roads where traffic is often heavy and congested. They help keep vehicles moving by making all lanes available to motorists. The only exception is the stopping of buses and taxis dropping off or picking up passengers as well as emergency vehicles.

  • James Ruse Drive Improvements
    To the householder & business operator JUNE 2013 Dear resident/business operator, RE: James Ruse Drive, Rosehill to Clyde – Night work starting Tuesday 2 July 2013 Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is starting work to improve the flow of traffic on James Ruse Drive from Rosehill to Clyde. This project is part of the NSW Government’s $125 million Pinch Point Program which aims to reduce delays, manage congestion and maintain travel times on Sydney’s main roads during week day peak periods. More information on the James Ruse Drive project can be found at www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roadprojects search ‘James Ruse Drive’. The first stage of work will start on Tuesday 2 July, 2013 and will take about three months to complete, weather permitting. Work involves: • extending the right turn lane from James Ruse Drive southbound to Parramatta Road • extending the right turn lane from James Ruse Drive southbound to Prospect Street. Future stages of work will include an upgrade to the James Ruse Drive/Hassall Street/Grand Avenue intersection and restricting right turns into and out of Hope Street. To minimise traffic disruptions, most of this work will be done at night, Sunday to Friday, from 8pm to 5am. The site compound for this project is located at the Arthur Street Granville M4 viaduct underpass. There will be noise associated with this work, however every effort will be made to minimise the impact of noise on nearby businesses and residents. Please allow extra journey time as delays may occur while work is carried out. The section of road adjacent to the work area will be partially closed during night working hours to ensure road worker and road user safety.
