- Community engagement and consultation during sampling rounds and regarding monitoring results.
- Completion and management of field collection records and laboratory formwork.
- Review of automated monitoring system results including blast vibration and stream flow.
- Collation, review and analysis of environmental monitoring results against historical trends and established criteria values.
- Reporting and publication of environmental monitoring data in accordance with management plan commitments and Environment Protection Licence requirements.
R.W. Corkery & Co. have previously been engaged to prepare the original Environmental Assessment for the Dargues Gold Mine, various modifications to the site’s development consent and management plans to support ongoing mining operations.
Solution
Due to our extensive experience with the mine site, R.W. Corkery & Co. were able to effectively:
- identify the various environmental monitoring and reporting requirements for the mine site
- Undertake environmental monitoring and analyse monitoring results with minimal handover from the site’s previous environmental officer
- Train two subsequent mine personnel to fulfill environmental monitoring and reporting requirements.
