Airly Mine – Subsidence Monitoring
• Subsidence monitoring results for the 200 Panel showed
maximum subsidence to be 7mm due to extraction at
80m depth of cover.
• Pillar stress cells in the 200 Panel showed very small
increases in stress.
• A second resurvey of the subsidence line is currently
being undertaken and a report will be provided to DPE
and DRE in the Jul-Sep quarter.
• A trial of InSAR remote sensing technique is ongoing.
• An REF is being prepared for the installation of another
subsidence monitoring line over the 121 Panel.

Airly Mine – Cultural Heritage
15
Historically: Four (4) sites have been undermined
45-1-2746 (Artefact Scatter) - Dec 2010
45-1-2763 (Artefact Scatter) – Mar 2011
45-1-2761 (Shelter) – Jul 2011
45-1-2762 (Artefact Scatter) – Sep 2015
Previous 3 Months: No Sites undermined
45-1-2762 (Artefact Scatter) *RPS Assessment of Site – No Harm.
Upcoming 3 Months: No sites to be undermined
Low level subsidence and tilt as a result of
mining, does not pose a risk of harm to these
sites
Fencing activities completed to help mitigate
against any potential harm

Airly Mine – Rehabilitation & Land Management
• Airly Mine does not currently have any land available or
subject to rehabilitation works. This is not likely to
change until mine closure.
• Weed spraying program implemented and completed
during summer 2016-17. This program will resume in
Spring 2016.
• Surrounding Mine owned land continues to be leased out
for agricultural purposes – Cattle grazing systems.
• Riparian restoration of Airly Creek on-going.
17
Airly Mine – Flora, Fauna & Aquatic Ecology Monitoring
18
• No flora or fauna monitoring activities were conducted since last CCC
meeting.
• Flora and fauna monitoring activities to be conducted by RPS in spring and
summer 2016.
• REF being prepared for the installation of new subsidence monitoring line in
Mugii Murrum-ban SCA above 121 Panel.
• Aquatic ecology monitoring to take place in spring 2016.

Testing of
PIRMP.
Non-compliant. Formal Warning Letter from the EPA, dated 3 March 2016, received 11
March 2016, for failure to test PIRMP within a 12 month period. Airly Mines
Annual Return detailed that the PIRMP was last tested on 12 November
2014. Airly Mine was non-compliant on 13 November 2015.
PIRMP tested on 14 March 2016 and will now be tested annually in line with
Annual Return.
Non-compliance Summary:
Incident Summary:
Nature of Incident Detail of Incident Detail of Mitigation / Remediation
Diesel spill as a result
of a derailed Pacific
National locomotive
on Airly Mine’s rail
loop within ML1331.
The lead locomotive of an unloaded
Pacific National train derailed shortly after
the point intersection on Airly Mines rail
loop. The locomotive came to rest on an
angle that was suffice to cause diesel to
spill from the overflow/breather ports of
the fuel tanks. Less than 200L of diesel
was spilt.
Diesel was siphoned from the tanks into a self bunded trans tank to
prevent further spillage. Once the locomotive was re-railed and the train
removed, contaminated material was excavated and removed from the site
to a designated waste facility. The spill site was also treated with a
hydrocarbon bio-remediation product to mitigate against any residual
contamination. The area where the spill occurred was on hard compacted
ballast and gravel foundations. No diesel migrated from the site. Incident
was reported to the Enviro-line, EPA, Fire & Rescue, HAZMAT and DRE.
Rail repair works have been completed to prevent recurrence.
6. Community Engagement

Monthly Meetings;
• Volunteered at CVPA Australia Day BBQ;
• Donated steel posts to Capertee Hall for signs.
• Attended Rylstone/Kandos Show and Sponsors Night;
