  • Chapter 8 – Traffic and Transport
    Chapter 8 – Traffic and Transport 8 Traffic and Transport 8.1 Introduction The potential impacts of increased road, air and sea traffic to existing infrastructure at the McArthur River Mine (MRM) and Bing Bong concentrate storage and ship loading facility (Bing Bong) are detailed in this chapter, together with mitigation measures for the McArthur River Phase 3 Development Project (the Project). Access to the MRM site is by a sealed road from Carpentaria Highway, approximately 1.5 km to the west of the mine site. MRM’s airport, located on the existing Mineral Lease, allows all personnel movements between the Project’s mining facilities and the airfield to be conducted on its internal road network. Bing Bong is located approximately 120km north of MRM (refer to Figure 8-1). 8.1.1 Study Methodology A Road Impact Assessment (RIA) was carried out on 16th May 2011. The agreed methodology for this study has been prepared on the basis of the following Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) planning documents and standards: • Guidelines for Assessment of Road Impacts of Development (GARID) (DTMR, 2006) • Road Planning and Design Manual—Chapter 13 Intersections at Grade (RPDM) (DTMR, 2006). The Queensland guidelines and manual have been used as no specific Northern Territory guidelines exist. In addition to the Guidelines and Manual, the methodology was further informed by discussions with the Northern Territory Government Corridor Land Management – Road Network Division. A complete outline of the study elements and methodology used in the study is as follows: 8.1.1.1 Site investigation The site inspection of the MRM site and Carpentaria Highway (between the Mine and Bing Bong) was undertaken on Monday 16th May 2011.
