3.0 Surface Water Sampling

Surface water samples are collected in accordance with AS/NZS 5667.4:1998 –

Guidance on sampling from lakes, natural and man-made and AS/NZS

5667.6:1998 – Guidance on sampling of rivers and streams. All samples

collected were analysed in the field for pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and

temperature. Selected sites were analysed in a NATA* accredited laboratory for total

suspended solids (TSS) and total dissolved solids (TDS).

*National Association of Testing Authorities - NATA is the authority that provides independent assurance of

technical competence.

Historical trend charts for SW15 (Eagles Nest Dam – Discharge Point) and SW01,

SW40 and SW02 (Wollombi Brook Upstream and Downstream locations) are

available in Appendix B.

December results are detailed below in Table 1.

5.0 Depositional Dust Sampling

Fifteen depositional dust gauges were collected for the reporting period. Sampling

and analysis is conducted in accordance with AS 3580.10.1 – 1991 – Determination

of particulates – Deposited matter – Gravimetric method. All gauges were

analysed for insoluble solids (IS) and ash residue (AS). Field observations include

water quantity and quality, and any visible contaminants in the sample.

Insoluble solid results are reported on the annual average of 4g/m2/month of all

uncontaminated results which are not located on Wambo Coal owned land. No

depositional dust gauge locations were outside the prescribed criteria level for the

reporting period.

December results are presented in Table 3 and Figure 2 below.

6.0 High Volume Air Sampling

Four High Volume Air Samplers (HVAS) operate at locations surrounding Wambo.

All units sampled Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) over a 24-hour period on a six

day cycle, in accordance with AS 2724.3 – 1984 – Determination of total

suspended particulates (TSP) – High volume sampler gravimetric method.

Reported yearly means for locations are within the reporting criteria of 90g/m3.

December results are presented in Table 4 and Figure 3 below.

7.0 Blast Events

Four monitoring sites measure ground vibration and air blast overpressure for blasts

conducted at Wambo. Five blasts were conducted during the reporting period.

Monitoring at all four sites is conducted under the blast monitoring requirements set

out in the Wambo EPA licence (EPL 529) and DA 305-7-2003. The blasting criteria

are summarised in Table 5 below.

8.0 Noise Monitoring

8.1. Attended Monitoring

Attended noise monitoring is undertaken on a monthly basis and occurred during the

month of December. Monitoring results can be found on the Peabody Wambo website at

www.peabodyenergy.com/content/404/Australia-Mining-New/New-South-Wales/Wambo-

Mine.

8.2. Real Time Monitoring

Real time noise monitoring results are reported in a quarterly format and can be found

on the Peabody Wambo website at www.peabodyenergy.com/content/404/Australia-

Mining-New/New-South-Wales/Wambo-Mine.

9.0 Real-Time Air Quality Monitoring

Four real time Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM) units were in

operation during the reporting period. The sites are located at Coralie (PM01), the

Caban residence (PM02), Thelander residence (PM03) and the Muller residence

(PM04). These units measure particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter

(PM10) on a continuous basis and provide a 24 hour average result. These units

operated and sampled in accordance with AS 3580.9.8 - 2002, Method for Sampling

and Analysis of Ambient Air - Determination of Suspended Particulate Matter -

PM10 Continuous Direct Mass Method using a Tapered Element Oscillating

Microbalance Analyser.

December results are presented in Table 7 and Figure 4 below.

All PM10 sites were within the yearly average criteria limits of 30ug/m3. A single

exceedance of the 24hr average criteria of 50ug/m3 for a single day was recorded at

PM01 on the 17th December.
