The EIS for the Project was exhibited from 1 November 2012 to 10 December 2012. This report outlines Holcim Australia’s response to the submissions made on the Project. 1.1 Cooma Road Quarry Continued Operations Project The Project will involve extending the life of the Cooma Road Quarry to enable the extraction of the remaining hard rock resources within the currently approved extraction area over a period of 20 years. In addition, the extraction boundary will be extended to the north to provide access to approximately 4.5 million tonnes (Mt) of additional fresh and weathered granite resources (refer to Figure 1.1). Holcim Australia also propose to increase the production capacity of the quarry from 1 Mtpa to 1.5 Mtpa to allow the quarry to meet predicted future peak market demands to support the planned future growth and development of the Canberra and Queanbeyan regions. Approval is also sought for the following: relocation of the existing workshop, truck parking and temporary stockpiles; addition of a mobile pug mill; allowance to receive quarry materials from other sites for crushing and screening (as required) and then sale. Total product (including from both material quarried from the site and from materials imported to the site) will be maintained within the total production limit of 1.5 Mtpa; construction of surface water management system components (including the proposed Eastern Dam); and recycling of concrete on site for re-use as product. The Project represents a continuation of the existing quarry operations, with quarry operations remaining substantially the same as those currently undertaken at Cooma Road Quarry. A summary of the key components of the Project compared to the existing operations is provided in Table 1.1. A detailed description of the proposed changes is provided in the EIS.

  • Assessment of Spatial and Temporal Variation in Surface Water Quality in Jerrabomberra Wetlands, Australian Capital Territory
    Assessment of spatial and temporal variation in surface water quality in Jerrabomberra Wetlands, Australian Capital Territory Rahnum Tasnuva Nazmul A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy School of Physical Environmental and Mathematical Sciences UNSW Canberra October 2016 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Nazmul First name: Rahnum Other name/s:Tasnuva Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: MPhil School: School of Physical Environmental and Mathematical Faculty: UNSW Canberra Sciences Title: Assessment of spatial and temporal variation in surface water quality in Jerrabomberra Wetlands, Australian Capital Territory This Masters thesis aims to add to the knowledge of the spatio-temporal variation in surface water quality in Jerrabomberra Wetlands in order to provide information for managers as they seek to protect the values of the wetland, improve water quality and manage pollutants from the Fyshwick catchment. Located in the heart of Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Jerrabomberra Wetlands is a habitat for a variety of animals and plants. The Basin Priority Project (BPP), undertaken by the ACT and Commonwealth Governments to improve the quality of water flowing through the ACT includes this Fyshwick-Jerrabomberra catchment as a key site of mixed urban and agricultural land usage. Current study outcomes will add to the knowledge of the ACT wide water quality monitoring program. This project studied eight water quality parameters: water temperature, pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, total phosphorus and nitrate, and zinc using surface water samples collected from six locations at the south eastern corner of Jerrabomberra Wetlands on a weekly basis for four months in 2015.

    PART 2 MELROSE VALLEY PRELIMINARY HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORT TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 AIM AND RATIONALE 2 METHODOLOGY 3 RESULTS 3.1 HISTORICAL SUMMARY 3.2 SITE DESCRIPTION AND TOPOGRAPHY 3.3 SURROUNDING LAND USE 3.4 DESCRIPTION OF HERITAGE FEATURES 4 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Melrose Valley Preliminary Cultural Survey Report 2003-2004 - Karen Williams 27 1 AIM AND RATIONALE The aim of this survey is to produce an indication of the nature and spatial distribution of historical cultural sites (other than Aboriginal) on the property known as Melrose Valley and compile a field report describing the land use patterning of sites and features. On the Monaro, Aboriginal occupation appears to have been of a temporary nature with more permanent occupation occurring around the better food, shelter and water resources of the Murrumbidgee and Snowy River valleys. The use of fire was probably less important in this region as the openness of the Monaro can be explained by soil and climate conditions. With the arrival of the Europeans, following the reports of the explorers, who were usually led by Aboriginal guides, grazing became the main form of land use. The region proved to be uncompetitive for cropping, however, the arrival of the pastoralists, and the speed of their movement across the open forested, grassy landscape closely reflected the rise and fall of the world wool markets and colonial climatic conditions of the 1820s-1850s. Wire fencing (1870- 1890) and pasture improvements came later in the Monaro than in other regions due to isolation and the availability, here, of more drought resistant native grassland (Dovers 1994: 119-140).
