Summary
Licence number:
394
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 U2.1, the licensee must: - measure uncontrolled and controlled haul road emissions on at least 3 occasions using a Road Emissions Expert (REX) system; - measure 'additional site data' including: vehicle kilometres travelled, meteorological conditions, water and suppressant application time, duration, rate and volume, - undertake silt content and soil moisture sampling in conjunction with the REX sampling events; and - determine if a site specific relationship can be derived between the measured control efficiency, additional site data; and the soil moisture and silt content levels.
The Licensee must submit a written report to the EPA providing the results of the Monitoring Program. The report must include an assessment of: - the dust control effectiveness; - dust levels; - any relationship established between control effectiveness and the additional site data; and - the Licensee’s compliance with Condition U2.1. The report must be submitted by the Licensee to the Environment Protection Authority Regional Manager Bathurst, at PO Box 1388 BATHURST NSW 2795 by 15 August 2014.
The EPA acknowledges that 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 48 hours prior to the sampling taking place.
The report required by condition U2.3 must be made publicly available by the licensee on the licensee's website by (two weeks from the submission date nominated in condition U2.3).
