  • EIS 110 Eraring Open Cut Coal Project
    EIS 110 Eraring open cut coal project: environmental impact statement. NSW DEPT PRIMARY I AAO57C THE ELECTRICITY COMMISSION OF NEW SOUTH WALES ERARING OPEN CUT COAL PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT THE ELECTRICITY COMMISSION OF NEW SOUTH WALES ERARING OPEN CUT COAL PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT MAY 1980 i I SUMMARY Eraring Open Cut Coal Mine is proposed as a source of coal for Eraring I Power Station. The Commission has planned the open cut to utilise a major resource and provide a stable and reliable coal supply to the power I station. I Location I The mine site is located 9 km south-west of Toronto, 3 km north of the village of Dora Creek, and 1 km north-east of the township of Cooranbong. There are approximately 50 million tonnes of coal within the site I boundaries and it is planned that the resource be worked at a rate of up to 2.5 million tonnes per year over a period of approximately 20 years. I Initial production is planned for 1983. Operations Control I The mine is to be operated by a contractor to the Electricity Commission. A Commission representative will be stationed at the mine site to oversee the mining operation, environmental conservation and reclamation. I Mining Plan Mining will commence with a box cut in the south eastern corner of the site I and progress from south to north. Mining practice will include removing high relief overburden with trucks and shovels, then stripping down to the I coal seams with draglines. The mine will employ approximately 270 persons.
