Sulphuric Acid from Port Kembla, to the Project Cowal Gold Project – Addendum to the Transport of Hazardous Materials Study On 7 February 2017 the Cowal Gold Project’s (the Project) Development Consent (DA 14/98) was modified to reflect approval of the Mine Life Modification. The Mine Life Modification involves an extension of the Project’s operational mine life for an additional eight years (i.e. to end 2032) and an increase to the depth of the existing open pit (among other things). During the preparation of the Mine Life Modification, Evolution identified an alternative transport route that involves direct road transport of sulphuric acid from Port Kembla, to the Project. Accordingly, this Addendum to the Transport of Hazardous Materials Study (THMS) has been prepared to reflect the alternate transport route for sulphuric acid. This Addendum includes an updated assessment of the likelihood of a hazardous incident along the revised transport route for the delivery of sulphuric acid to the Project, and an update to the risk analysis results. COWAL GOLD PROJECT ADDENDUM TO THE TRANSPORT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS STUDY JULY 2018 Project No. HAL-02-07 Document No. 922533 Sulphuric Acid Road Transport Route Evaluation – Overview ADDENDUM Transport of Hazardous Materials Study 1. Given the proposed route change, hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid are no longer following the same route and cannot be assessed together. As such, consider the attachments in this Addendum as an additional attachment (i.e. Attachment 8) to the original THMS. 2. Include the new Attachment 8A provided in this document. 3. Include the new Attachment 8B provided in this document. 4. Include the new Attachment 8C provided in this document. 5. Include the new Attachment 8D provided in this document. 6. Split Section 4.2 of the THMS into 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) and insert the text below as Section 4.2(b): Road transport of sulphuric acid within NSW begins at Port Kembla and terminates at the Project. The road transport route for sulphuric acid to the Project has been divided into four segments (Segments 1 to 4) for the purpose of route evaluation. Route evaluations for Segments 1 to 4 are attached to the THMS as Attachments 8A, 8B, 8C and 8D respectively. An overview of Segments 1 to 4 is provided below. Segment 1 Attachment 8A Transport of sulphuric acid from Port Kembla to the Hume Highway (Sydney) Segment 2 Attachment 8B Transport of sulphuric acid from the Hume Highway (Sydney) to Temora Segment 3 Attachment 8C Transport of sulphuric acid from Temora to West Wyalong Segment 4 Attachment 8D Transport of sulphuric acid from 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 4, including the identification of suitable transport routes, is provided below.

The aim of this AUSIMM 2004 Conference and Workshop is to bring together expert speakers who will seek to highlight and share some of their experiences of issues and aspects which impact on coal mine planning and development – both now and into the future. In any business project or venture, and coal mining is no different, it is important to clearly understand all issues that will impact on a project and its viability and have in place appropriate strategies to manage and ensure the successful outcome of all goals that are set.

  • 18.0 Traffic and Transportation
    AECOM Port Kembla Outer Harbour Development - Environmental Assessment 18.0 Traffic and Transportation 18.1 Introduction Surface access would play a key role in linking the Outer Harbour to the rest of its supply chain. Ensuring that surface transport links to the Outer Harbour are adequate, through both road and rail modes, would be crucial in ensuring the efficiency of the overall supply network. The focus of this section is to review the existing road network in the vicinity of the proposed development, to summarise the level of traffic generation associated with both the Concept Plan and Major Project (Stage 1) and to consider any impacts on the road network. A detailed Traffic Impact Assessment is provided in Appendix I. Detailed investigation of rail infrastructure impacts and opportunities are considered separately in Section 19. Information in relation to shipping navigation and access to recreational fishing is considered in Sections 5.13 and 6.6.15. 18.2 Existing Environment The Southern Freeway and the Illawarra Rail Line currently provide the primary road and rail links between Sydney and Wollongong. There also exists a number of east-west transport links, such as Picton Road and Appin Road that provide, or have the potential to provide, access between the Outer Harbour, Sydney Metropolitan area and wider areas. The main access and haulage route to the Outer Harbour from the Southern Freeway is via Five Islands Road. From Five Islands Road, the most direct access to the Outer Harbour would be via Flinders Street and Old Port Road with local connections via Christy Drive and Foreshore Road.
