The brief

The study spanned two administrative districts, which meant two sets of local authority consultations, two receptor catchments and a single coherent impact narrative that had to hold across both. Mining and beneficiation were assessed as one system rather than as separate submissions, so that tailings, water demand and haulage were accounted for end to end.

Scope of work

  1. 01Baseline air quality, noise and vibration monitoring across both districts
  2. 02Surface and groundwater quality characterisation
  3. 03Terrestrial ecology and habitat survey of the disturbance footprint
  4. 04Socio-economic survey and stakeholder consultation programme
  5. 05Impact prediction for mining, haulage and beneficiation as one system
  6. 06Environmental and Social Management Plan with monitoring schedule
