Different types of quarries have different potential impacts which are listed below in general terms. Not all potential impacts will apply to this quarry and the main impacts affecting this site are also listed. Guidance on the quality of water can be found in; Western Australian Water Quality Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Waters, EPA Bulletin 711, 1993. ANZECC, 1992, Australian Water Quality Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Waters. 1 56 A number of documents provide guidance on the management and disposal of surface water that can lead to waterways, wetlands and underground water systems. These mainly apply to urban development but the methods are also applicable to the quarrying industry. Engineers Australia 2003, Australian Runoff Quality, National Committee on Water Engineering. Stormwater Management Manual for Western Australia, Department of Environment WA, 2004. Guidelines for Groundwater Protection in Australia, ARMCANZ, ANZECC, September 1995. Documents specific to the mining and quarrying operations are the DOW – DMP Water Quality Protection Guidelines for Mining and Mineral Processing.
