B-6 – Area 6 – Assessment of Environmental Effects 60 For the sensitive receptors located within 100 m of the proposed surface-based mining activities, continuous instrumental monitoring of TSP concentrations, wind speed and wind direction be undertaken at the boundary of the site when activities with potential to discharge dust occurs. The outputs from the instruments should be able to be monitored remotely and should be able to produce an alarm when TSP concentrations or wind speeds approach trigger values; and For OGNZL to continue to undertake an extensive suite of air quality monitoring in the vicinity of Waihi and that in accordance with current practice, the details of air quality monitoring be undertaken will be set out in the AQMP. 5.10.4 Conclusion Beca (2022) concludes that, provided OGNZL continues to use the methods currently implemented to minimise discharges to air and adopts the additional recommended mitigation measures, the adverse effects of discharges to air from the WNP will be adequately avoided and mitigated and consequently, the likelihood that these discharges will result in noxious, dangerous, offensive or objectionable effects is considered to be low. 5.11 ROADING AND TRAFFIC EFFECTS An assessment of effects on the transportation network arising from the WNP is provided in Stantec (2022), a copy of which is attached as Part H of these application documents. 5.11.1 Traffic Movements and Associated Effects The NRS related traffic movements are primarily related to the transportation of the workforce, plus the less frequent delivery of materials and plant via Baxter Road. Other WNP components and existing and already consented mining activities associated with Project Martha and OGNZL’s other underground mines will also contribute to the site traffic generated in this location and the cumulative effects of all these activities has been assessed. Ore, overburden and tailings associated with the mining activity will be transported within the mine by truck, conveyor, or pipeline to and within the existing processing areas. All vehicle movements associated with these materials will occur on internal roads within the mine area and will not use the public road network. The expected workforce requirements for Moresby Avenue and Baxter Road Facilities (plus Project Martha) are summarised over the life of the project in Figure 18.
