2010-2011 AEMR 1.3.7 Subsidence Management Plan WCPL’s Underground operates under an approved Subsidence Management Plan (SMP). The SMP for First Workings was approved by the DTIRIS in October 2005 with mining commencing in November 2005. The SMP for Second Workings was lodged in March 2006 and was approved by the DTIRIS on the 11 December 2006. This SMP covers underground mining activities until 1/11/2013 which includes longwall panels 1 through to 6 (LW 1-6). The SMP also includes the management of environmental impacts associated with subsidence. Mine subsidence is discussed further in Section 3.16. 1.3.8 Emplacement Area Approvals Table 1.4 outlines previous emplacement approvals issued under Section 126 Approvals for Emplacement Areas (Dams). These emplacement areas can be seen in Figure 1.4. The Hunter Pit emplacement is the only current operational area. Rehabilitation of past emplacement areas continued this reporting period with these activities outlined in Section 2.5.1.3. DTIRIS a Section 101 amendment, replacing the original Section 127. A Section 100 Application for raising the tailings level in the Hunter Pit Dam was submitted to the NSW Department of Trade and Investment at the end of the 2011-2012 reporting period. The raising of this wall is part of the WCPL life of mine tailings strategy which will extend the tailings facility life through to 2014. 1.3.9 EPBC Approval WCPL was granted approval (EPBC 2003/1138) in accordance with Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, 1999 (EPBC Act) for the expansion of the mine on the 23 November 2004. In accordance with the approval, WCPL have prepared a Flora and Fauna Management Plan to address the conditions set out in EPBC 2003/1138. 1.4 Mine Contacts Table 1.5 outlines the contact details for site personnel responsible for mining, coal preparation, rehabilitation and environmental management at WCPL. A Section 127 Approval to Discontinue Emplacement Areas was granted on the 8 September 2004 for the North East Tailings Dam (NETD). In July 2009 WCPL submitted to the Table 1.4 – Emplacement Area Approvals Date Granted Area Details Current Status Area No. 1 Whynot (South) Area Rehabilitated. 28/08/1991 Area No. 2 Ridge Open Cut and Cut 11N areas Capping complete.
