MOD 13 - Various, including approval extension

Rasp Lead/Zinc /silver project modification 13
My objection to the project is that the disturbance surface historical chemical and mineral dumps during these operations
My concerns are prior to 2007 Broken hill lead levels children had a twelve-year decline in lead levels then in 2007/2008 the children lead levels increased since the granting of the license for the rasp mine CML7 Lease Broken Hill operations lead levels have increased in the community living there especially family's living around the line load now 2026 and the lead levels are still climbing.
My concern is that the Broken Hill mines environmental monitoring 12559 license is under reporting the true levels as oxidized lead (and minerals) are not required to be monitored by their currant license conditions. As it states in broken hill operations 26th May 2010 report there was NO Site-specific PM2.5 monitoring data were available for the Broken hill region and there were no analytical samples were collected during this audit to verify any former or current monitoring programs in place or data collected
the audit report does not, and dose not purport to give any legal advice on the actual or potential liabilities of the operation.
The impact assessment for this fraction will be restricted to the consideration of the incremental concentration due to the project
MY Concerns to the Application
1. the transport and processing stock piling 100.000 tons of ore from the pinnacles mine to rasp mine cml7 Broken Hill Operations in the center of the Broken Hill community
2.The Block 16 express ladder way
My concerns are what environmental impact from shifting the historical chemical and mineral dumps to erect ladder way is going to have on the community and schools in that area line load. What human risk assessment for this project and sampling material has been done to maximize the environmental health impacts from this projects and the currant license monitoring air and water from the site does not meet the criteria for materials being mined and disturbed and transported for the Rasp Mine site CML7 Minning Lease to protect the health of the community living in Broken Hill.
The license for the rasp mine 12559 state surface works only have to stop if winds get to 60klm hour and yet past government reports state winds of 30klm the dust from the line load dumps blows all over the town, unstable skimp dumps along line load consisting of slag heaps waste dumps tailings dumps open cuts and other generally disturbed ground are a likely source of ongoing contamination of the environment.
Limited environmental monitoring data suggest that the lead is apparently continually re-enter into the air and hence is moving around Broken Hill and contributing to ongoing environmental contamination. Major concerns at the exclusion Biologically soluble Lead from monitoring this report was commissioned by EPA who gave the environmental license to Rasp mine CML7 Lease and yet EPA excluded this from the 12559 license so basically under reporting true levels.
What environmental license conditions for MP07-0018-Mod-13 applicant Broken Hill Operations will be imposed to this application as previous environmental license does not meet the criteria for this particular site as previous audits site rasp mine July 2010 state who takes responsibility for the contamination and poisoning of the community and schools preschools during the surface mobilize of dust generated from this site due to the surface movement and stock pile ore from pinnacles mine on site for processing. once the ore from pinnacles mine is exposed to air weather it becomes oxidized ore (soluble minerals lead cadmium arsenic thallium beryllium ores etc.
What precautions monitoring and how do they intend on containing dust from site as the retardant (green) spayed on site does not work as it breaks down and becomes air born and water down dose work to some degree in colder months Broken Hill has low rain fall are its arid and reaches temperatures 50 degrees on those dumps mine area so water just evaporates as quickly as it is disperse
If the levels of lead manganese cadmium arsenic hexavalent chromium cyanide keep increasing will the mining company Broken Hill operations Rasp mine and Planning department relocate all the family's living around the line load who will be affected poisoned from this site and its operations. And compensate them for their homes and contents
What contribution to the community and schools is going to be made by Broken Hill Operations CML7 and planning department and EPA department for the ongoing decontamination of the community of Broken Hill and Broken hill City Council if the application is granted.
What human risk assessment has been completed for this application for mod13 Broken Hill Operations
What was the criteria for the human risk assessment
Thank you for your time
Look forward to your reply to my concerns regarding this application project modification 13 Broken hill operations PTY LTD MP07-0018-mod-13 minister for planning and public spaces
