Dear Sir/Madam,
Submission on the Springvale Water Treatment proposal (SSD 16_7592)
The Springvale water treatment proposal must be greatly improved if it is to adequately protect the Coxs River catchment, the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area and Sydney's drinking water resources. Mine water must not be simply treated to a minimum standard then released into the catchment.
Wangcol Creek is already contaminated. Discharges from the proposed treatment plant would worsen this situation and send a plume of salt down the Coxs River that is part of Sydney's drinking water catchment.
The treatment proposal must maximise mine water use by storing it for future periods of high demand by the Mt Piper Power Plant. Water treatment must be decoupled from the power plant's coal consumption to prevent an outcome where a reduction in coal-fired electricity generation would cause an increase in mine water pollution.
The water treatment plant must not be built for discharge into the environment. It can be designed as a closed system with treated mine water stored in Thompsons Creek Reservoir which has sufficient capacity to accommodate mine water from both Springvale and Clarence mines for future power plant use.
To take advantage of future mine water transfer upgrades, the proposed pipeline from Springvale to Mt Piper power plant should have sufficient capacity to accommodate mine water from Clarence Colliery.
Runoff from the Springvale Coal Services and fly ash emplacement areas also must be collected and treated for use in the power plant.
Any additional pipeline construction on Newnes Plateau for the mine water transfers must follow the existing pipeline alignment to minimise further damage to endangered ecological communities and pagoda landscapes.

The Springvale water treatment proposal must be greatly improved if it is to adequately protect the Coxs River catchment, the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area and Sydney's drinking water resources. Mine water must not be simply treated to a minimum standard then released into the catchment.
Wangcol Creek is already contaminated. Discharges from the proposed treatment plant would worsen this situation and send a plume of salt down the Coxs River that is part of Sydney's drinking water catchment.
The treatment proposal must maximise mine water use by storing it for future periods of high demand by the Mt Piper Power Plant. Water treatment must be decoupled from the power plant's coal consumption to prevent an outcome where a reduction in coal-fired electricity generation would cause an increase in mine water pollution.
The water treatment plant must not be built for discharge into the environment. It can be designed as a closed system with treated mine water stored in Thompsons Creek Reservoir which has sufficient capacity to accommodate mine water from both Springvale and Clarence mines for future power plant use.
To take advantage of future mine water transfer upgrades, the proposed pipeline from Springvale to Mt Piper power plant should have sufficient capacity to accommodate mine water from Clarence Colliery.
Runoff from the Springvale Coal Services and fly ash emplacement areas also must be collected and treated for use in the power plant.
Any additional pipeline construction on Newnes Plateau for the mine water transfers must follow the existing pipeline alignment to minimise further damage to endangered ecological communities and pagoda landscapes.

The treated water could create issues downstream through algae growth and aquatic weeds.

The Springvale water treatment proposal must be greatly improved if it is to adequately protect the Coxs River catchment, the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area and Sydney's drinking water resources. Mine water must not be simply treated to a minimum standard then released into the catchment.
Wangcol Creek is already contaminated. Discharges from the proposed treatment plant would worsen this situation and send a plume of salt down the Coxs River that is part of Sydney's drinking water catchment.
The treatment proposal must maximise mine water use by storing it for future periods of high demand by the Mt Piper Power Plant. Water treatment must be decoupled from the power plant's coal consumption to prevent an outcome where a reduction in coal-fired electricity generation would cause an increase in mine water pollution.
The water treatment plant must not be built for discharge into the environment. It can be designed as a closed system with treated mine water stored in Thompsons Creek Reservoir which has sufficient capacity to accommodate mine water from both Springvale and Clarence mines for future power plant use.
To take advantage of future mine water transfer upgrades, the proposed pipeline from Springvale to Mt Piper power plant should have sufficient capacity to accommodate mine water from Clarence Colliery.
Runoff from the Springvale Coal Services and fly ash emplacement areas also must be collected and treated for use in the power plant.
Any additional pipeline construction on Newnes Plateau for the mine water transfers must follow the existing pipeline alignment to minimise further damage to endangered ecological communities and pagoda landscapes.
