Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment North Wambo Underground Mine Modification Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Recommendation 1 It is recommended that the artefacts remain in situ unless impact to the sites is unavoidable. It is further recommended that Wambo Coal undertakes subsidence monitoring to ensure impacts are as predicted. Recommendation 2 It is recommended that Wambo Coal seek an AHIP for the MA (excluding the portion covered by the existing Consent #2222) under Section 90 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NPW Act) to allow for subsidence and the salvage (if required) of registered and unregistered sites (should they be uncovered) in the MA; such works should be undertaken in consultation with the registered Aboriginal parties. If salvage is required, it is recommended that artefacts be transferred to the temporary keeping place under the existing Care and Control Permit (#3130) in consultation with the registered Aboriginal parties. Recommendation 3 The location of any Aboriginal cultural heritage sites in the project area should be included in the Wambo Coal environmental management framework for the project area, so that all relevant staff members are aware that these areas will require management. In General during the course of Wambo Coal Pty Ltd works Recommendation 4 If any previously unrecorded Aboriginal sites are identified during the course of surface works in the project area, the area should be cordoned off and surface works cease until the site has been adequately recorded. Any newly identified sites should be managed in accordance with management measures for similar site/artefact types previously identified within the project area or across the wider Wambo Mine area, in consultation with the registered Aboriginal parties. Recommendation 5 In the event that skeletal remains are uncovered, work must cease immediately in that area and Wambo Coal will need to contact the NSW Police Coroner to determine if the material is of Aboriginal origin. If determined to be Aboriginal, they must then contact the OEH Enviroline 131 555 and the registered Aboriginal parties in order to determine an action plan for the management of the skeletal remains prior to works re-commencing. Indigenous and non-Indigenous Cultural Heritage Recommendation 6 All relevant Wambo Coal staff should be made aware of their statutory obligations for heritage under NPW Act and the Heritage Act 1977, which may be implemented as a heritage induction. If during the course of surface site works significant European cultural heritage material is uncovered, surface work should cease in that area immediately. OEH should be notified and works only recommenced when an appropriate and approved management strategy has been instigated. 108453-2; October 2012 ES- 4
