Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment North Wambo Underground Mine Modification The Modification would include the development of two additional longwall panels in the Wambo Seam adjacent to the existing NWUM (Longwalls 9 and 10) (Figure 1-2). Access to the modified longwall panels would be via the existing North Wambo Underground Mine (NWUM). The Modification would use the existing surface infrastructure of the NWUM. Further detail regarding the Modification description is provided in Section 3 in the Main Report of the Environmental Assessment. For the purpose of this report, the Modification is referred to as the NWUMM. The extent of subsidence impact referred to as the Modification Area (MA) is shown on Figure 1-2. The project area does not include any part of the Wollemi National Park or associated escarpment and does not impact on Wollombi Brook or North Wambo Creek. 1.2 Background RPS has been commissioned by Wambo Coal to undertake an Aboriginal (CHIA) as part of an application to modify Development Consent (DA 305-7-2003) for the Wambo Coal Mine, under Section 75W of the New South Wales (NSW) Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 (EP&A Act). The modification will include an additional two longwall panels in the NWUM, as well as associated surface facilities. The original Development Consent was granted by the Minister for Planning on 4 February 2004. Wambo Coal is lodging an application with the Minister for Planning under Section 75W of the EP&A Act and clause 8J(8)(b) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 (NSW) for the proposed modification. The project area is highly disturbed from previous farming practices including, though not limited to, the installation of fencing and dams, livestock grazing, land clearing, formed tracks, dirt access roads and fire trails. Much of the area has also been previously undermined by historic bord and pillar and longwall mining. The archaeological and Aboriginal cultural heritage survey was undertaken on 23 to 25 May 2011, 31 July 2011, 2 August 2011 and 4 April 2012. The project area generally has a southerly aspect and covers an area of approximately 2 km long by 1 km wide. The project area is one of rolling hills and is gently sloping, encompassing flood plain, creek banks, lower and mid slope areas. Wambo mine owned land (MOL) and private land is bordered by Wambo and Jerrys Plains Ridges and adjoins Wollemi National Park. This Aboriginal and non-Indigenous CHIA report has been prepared to meet the requirements for the application by Wambo Coal for a 75W modification to an existing Part 4 approval. The report considers the environmental and archaeological context of the project area, results from a search of the Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System (AHIMS) database, the provision of a predictive model; comments from the Aboriginal community regarding cultural heritage significance and the results of the archaeological and cultural surveys of the project area which were undertaken in May, July and August 2011 and April 2012. 1.3 Legislative Context The following overview of the legal framework is provided solely for information purposes for the client, it should not be interpreted as legal advice. RPS will not be liable for any actions taken by any person, body or group as a result of this general overview, and recommends that specific legal advice be obtained from a qualified legal practitioner prior to any action being taken as a result of the summary below. Aboriginal heritage (places, sites and objects) in NSW are protected by the National Parks and Wildlife Act (1974, as amended), which is overseen by the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH).
