Seepage GHD (Ref. 6) assess that there will be very little change to groundwater flow and levels due to placement of the NRS, as most construction works are anticipated to be undertaken above the groundwater table. Existing rainfall recharge will be intercepted by the waste rock and the perimeter drains, however, this will be partially offset by seepage of leachate through the NRS soil liner (Zone A) and discharge to ground. For the purposes of seepage and water quality assessment GHD assumed that the Zone A liner will be under-drained, and that groundwater levels beneath the NRS will be at an elevation lower than that of the subsoil drains. 10.3. Northern Uphill Diversion Drain and stream diversion Previous consents have required the uphill diversion drains to be sized for a 1 in 10 year ARI storm event. The uphill diversion drain presented for this preliminary design has been sized for a 1 in 50 year event. At closure the upper reaches of the existing Northern Uphill Diversion Drain will be redirected to Storage 2, which will provide detention and control of flows in the drain. For the sections of the drain which are only required during operation we recommend that the conditions continue to require a 1 in 10 year flow. For sections of the uphill diversion drain that are to be permanent the drain should be designed to pass a 1 in 100 year flow. This will be able to rely on the detention provided by Storage 2 closure.
