Physical Components. The Project involves one year of planning and preparatory work and the execution of a two-year room- and-pillar mining operation that is designed to determine the mineability and marketing potential of the coal resource. The average annual production for the proposed two-year period mining operation is expected to be approximately 0.5 Mtpa, or up to 2,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”). The Project involves: ⮚ the establishment of a single continuous – miner operation driving into the resource block from the two existing entry tunnels, including the installation of the required supports, equipment and ventilation; ⮚ the development of the necessary surface facilities to handle the extracted coal and to support the underground activities associated with the continuous – miner operation, including coal loading facilities and coal stockpiles; ⮚ the construction and/or rehabilitation of offices, a small workshop and associated utilities, such as electricity, road and parking on site, security and water supply; and ⮚ the trucking of coal from the site on existing public roadways to several destinations for onward transportation to laboratories and potential customers. The proposed works associated with the Project are designed to be consistent with the ultimate objective of a longwall mining operation, such that all works will be within the boundaries of the final mining operation site layout. The physical components associated with the Project are described below. All emissions which may be generated by the Project, including dust, site runoff, water pumped from the tunnels, underground discharges, sanitary sewage, solid wastes, hazardous materials, noise and light, are discussed in Section 2.6.
