Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment North Wambo Underground Mine Modification Summary RPS Australia East Pty Ltd (RPS) has been commissioned by Wambo Coal Pty Ltd (Wambo Coal) to undertake an Aboriginal and non-Indigenous Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment (CHIA) for an Environmental Assessment (EA) as part of a Section 75W modification (the Modification) to Development Consent (DA 305-7-2003) for the Wambo Coal Mine which was granted by the Minister for Planning on 4 February 2004. This report has been prepared in order to meet the requirements for an application by Wambo Coal to the Minister for Planning under Section 75W of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (New South Wales [NSW]) and clause 8J(8)(b) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 (NSW) for a proposed modification to Development Consent (DA 305-7-2003). The Modification would include the development of two additional longwall panels in the Wambo Seam adjacent to the existing North Wambo Underground Mine (NWUM) (Longwalls 9 and 10) (Figure 1-2). Access to the modified longwall panels would be via the existing 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 North Wambo Underground Mine Modification (NWUMM). The NWUMM and its surrounds are hereafter referred to as the project area (refer Figure 1-1). The project area is situated to the west of Wollombi Brook, south of North Wambo Creek, with Stony Creek traversing the southern boundary. The project area is located within the Wambo Mining and Coal Lease Boundary (WMCLB). The extent of subsidence impact referred to as the Modification Area (MA) is shown on Figure 1-2. The project area incorporated the MA and a buffer of more than 70 metres (m) around the outside of the MA boundary to ensure that adequate survey coverage had been undertaken. 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. The project area generally has a southerly aspect and covers an area of approximately 2 kilometres (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. The project area has been disturbed by previous farming practices including, but not limited to, land clearing, installation of fencing, dams and pipelines, livestock grazing, formed tracks, dirt access roads and fire trails. Much of the surrounding area has also been previously undermined by approved longwall mining. The preliminary archaeological field survey was conducted by RPS Senior Archaeologist Gillian Goode, Ali Byrne and Cultural Heritage Manager Darrell Rigby in May 2011. Following implementation of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation Requirements (ACHCRs), and ensuing consultation with the relevant Aboriginal groups, an archaeological and cultural heritage field survey was conducted in July, August 2011 and April 2012 by Senior Archaeologist Gillian Goode and Archaeologist Ali Byrne both of RPS, in partnership with representatives from a number of registered Aboriginal parties. Rostered groups who participated in the survey included Wanaruah Local Aboriginal Land Council (WLALC), Giwiirr Consultants, Hunter Valley Aboriginal Corporation, Ungooroo Aboriginal Corporation, Upper Hunter Wonnarua Council 108453-2; October 2012 ES- 1
