The transition towards a focus on a renewable energy system represents a unique economic growth opportunity for the Rockhampton Region that brings with it a host of positive impacts. 3 PROJECTS Renewable energy projects within the Rockhampton Region will fuel economic growth, generate new employment opportunities, boost human welfare and work towards a climate safe future.

  • Mt Morgan Mine – a Case Study of ARD Impacted Groundwater
    Mt Morgan Mine – a case study of ARD impacted groundwater Christoph Wels1, Laura Findlater1, Shannon Shaw1, Tania Laurencont2 1Robertson GeoConsultants Inc., Suite 640, 580 Hornby Street, Vancou- ver, BC, Canada V6C 3B6 Tel: (1) 604.684.8072 Fax: (1) 604.684.8073; e-mail address: [email protected] 2Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines & Energy, Mount Morgan Mine Rehabilitation Project, Rockhampton, QLD, Australia Abstract The Mount Morgan Mine is an historic mine site located in Central Queen- sland, Australia. The mine closed in 1990 after the re-treatment of 28 Mt of tailings, which were placed into the open cut pit. Mining at Mount Mor- gan has resulted in the exposure of sulphide-bearing mine waste at surface which produces acid rock drainage (ARD) and has heavily impacted por- tions of the adjacent Dee River. Historic stream channels draining the mine site (often filled-in with tailings, slag and/or waste rock) and associ- ated structures in the underlying bedrock appear to represent a preferred pathway for mine-impacted groundwater into the Dee River. The ground- water draining the minesite has low pH (2.5-3.5) and highly elevated con- centrations of magnesium, sulphate, aluminium, iron, copper, zinc and various trace metals (Cd, Cr, Co and Ni). While a seepage interception and pump-back system (SIS) is currently in place, the amount of ARD entering the groundwater system and ultimately reaching the Dee River is poten- tially substantial and requires quantification. This paper summarizes the results of a detailed hydrogeological study of the Mt Morgan minesite which included the installation of 19 monitoring bores, hydraulic testing, water level and water quality monitoring and groundwater modeling.
