Level will vary during operation depending on the tailings surface profile and specific calculations are required to confirm sufficient freeboard is maintained at regular intervals by operational staff. This table is indicative of the likely scenarios. ^Normal operation freeboard is targeted to allow sufficient volume to hold the IDF with 1.0m freeboard remaining, without including wave runup. # Closure scenario assumes an outlet channel at normal water levels which spills clean water to receiving catchment. Outlet channel will need to be sized to pass sufficient volume to limit maximum water level under IDF (72 hour PMP) to approximately RL153.7. To be confirmed at closure. & Outlet channel invert level will need to consider tailings coverage with pond water where there is no dry capping. Level estimated. To be confirmed in closure.
