Summary
Licence number:
528
Title:
Particulate Matter Control Best Practice Implementation – Wheel Generated Dust
Start date:
22 Mar 2013
Licence Condition
The Licensee must achieve and maintain a dust control efficiency of 80% or more on all active haul roads by 30 August 2013. Control efficiency is calculated as: CE = E (uncontrolled) - E (controlled) x 100 E (uncontrolled) Where E = the emission rate of the activity
To assess compliance with condition U1.1, the licensee must: - measure uncontrolled and controlled emissions on at least 2 occassions using EBam units; -continuously measure and record 'additional site' data including, but not necessarily limited to: haul truck paramters, meteorological conditions, water and suppressant application, time, duration, rate and volume - undertake silt content and soil moisture sampling prior to and after each sampling occassion; and - determine of a site specific relationship can be derived between the control efficiency, additional site data and the soil moisture and cilt content levels. The measurement of uncontrolled and controlled PM10 emissions must be undertaken at times when analysis of meteorological data indicates that elevated levels of dust are mosy likely at the premises. Note: The EPA acknowledges rhat in order to determine uncontrolled PM10 emissions, the section of haul road to be sampled will need to be left untreated for a period of up to 12 hours prior to the sampling taking place.
The Licensee must submit a written report to the EPA which documents the results of the assessment undertaken in accordance with condition U1.1. The report must include an assessment of: - the dust control effectiveness, - the dust levels recorded; - any relationship established between control effectiveness and the additional site data; and - the licensee’s compliance with Condition U1.1. The report must be submitted by the Licensee to the Environment Protection Authority Regional Manager Central West, at PO Box 1388 BATHURST NSW 2795 by 15 August 2014.
The report required by condition U1.3 must be made publicly available by the licensee on the licensee's website (by two weeks from the submission date nominated in condition U1.3).
