The workforce and associated non-urgent deliveries would then beshuttled to site to minimise vehicle movements through Helensburgh and minimise on-site light vehicleparking requirements.9 MONITORINGCoal and coal reject deliveries are weighed on receipt at their destination (e.g. Port Kembla, GlenleeWashery) and the delivered tonnages are reported at regular intervals back to HCPL.HCPL will monitor the amount of coal and coal reject that is transported from the site by road and byrail each year in accordance with Condition 21, Schedule 4 of the Project Approval (Section 3.1). Theresults of the monitoring will be provided on the Metropolitan Mine’s website every six months,commencing in December 2010.Metropolitan Mine – Traffic Management PlanRevision No. TMP-R01-D Page 19Document ID: Traffic Management Plan
