The end result being that Anglesea maintained its certification with only seven observation findings raised during the audit. There were no non-conformances identified. The audit also reviews the audit findings from the previous surveillance audit conducted 12 months prior and assesses whether they have been addressed. We initially received ISO14001 certification in 2002 and this audit was the required three yearly ‘major audit’ of the location’s entire environmental management system (EMS), including the off-site monitoring of Sulphur Dioxide and the co-management of the Anglesea Heath. A number of personnel were interviewed during the audit, including Talis Steele, Chris Rolland, Nick Brockman, PLANT OF THE ANGLESEA HEATH LEMON SCENTED TEA-TREE* (Leptospermum petersonii) Size: up to 4m H and 3m W Distribution: Queensland and NSW Habitat: wet sclerophyll forest or rainforest, on sandy soils or on rocky escarpments Form: shrub or small tree Foliage: narrow-elliptic to lanceolate leaves, 20-40mm long, strongly lemon-scented Flowers: usually solitary, 10-15mm, white to cream flowers December to January Did you know: This species was found in our 2006 mine rehabilitation area in the 5 year reassessment. Not known in this region, even as a weed, it’s appearance is somewhat of a surprise. It has cream coloured flowers which is its only distinction from the pure-white flowers of the indigenous Leptospermum continentale (which is flowering at the same time). Nicci Marris, Elise Jeffery, Maryann Thorp, Bryce Hutton, Graham Nixon and Robyn Lucas and our control room operators. Barry La Fontaine found all employees cooperative, enthusiastic and willing to provide information. . Barry made seven observation findings including, but not limited to, the Anglesea Emergency Plan and Emergency Procedures, what constitutes an ‘emergency’, improvements to the description of Environmental Hazards within the Work Planning Form for clarification for non-experts and several items related to a detailed discussion about the Aspects and Impacts Register. In addition to these findings, the auditor's assessment is that APS rates as excellent in this Australian industry practice for community relations. ...LEPTOSPERMUM PETERSONII ANGLESEA ENVIRONMENT REPORT NOVMEBER 2011 LAND RAINFALL (mm) Long Term Average 2011 Rainfall JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC 42.0 42.2 40.8 52.0 59.2 59.4 62.6 67.2 66.6 70.7 55.9 46.0 151.6 38.2 54.8 36.0 52.0 39.0 86.7 41.8 47.6 87.6 87.9 WATER TOWN WATER USE (ML) 2000 2009 2010 JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV Amenity Water Use 1.0 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 Process Water use 2.0 1.1 0.6 0.6 1.1 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.7 0.7 0.6 1.7 1.1 0.7 DEC AIR GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) TOTAL (Mt) & GHG EMISSION EFFICIENCY (t/mwH) GHG t GHG t/MWh 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 f orecast 1227846 1265103 1504860 1448793 1468098 1309674 1491486 1396713 1452351 1361632 1442450 1405588 1.24 1.19 1.21 1.21 1.20 1.21 1.20 1.18 1.23 1.22 1.20 1.22383 ANGLESEA ENVIRONMENT REPORT NOVEMBER 2011 environmental improvement Environmental Management Targets November 2011 Total 2011 Forecast 2011 Target Reportable Environmental Incidents (#) 0 0 0 0 Env Near Miss vs Env Incident Run Rate (ratio) 4 3.2 3.2 3 100 100 100 90 November 2011 Total 2011 Forecast 2011 Target Ambient SO2 (no. readings > 200ppb) 0 1 1 0 Stack SO2 (no. hrs > 100kg/min) 0 0 0 0 1.169 1.22 1.22 1.20 0 0 0 0 November 2011 Total 2011 Forecast 2011 Target Town Water (ML) 0.8 10.7 12.8 14.0 Groundwater (ML) 327 3513 4215 4000 November 2011 Total 2011 Forecast 2011 Target 5.48 13.14 15.77 8.0 0 0 0 0 Monthly EHS ASAT Audit Completion (%) Air Emission Targets GHG Efficiency (t CO2 e/MWh) Opacity (10 min av > 0.25g/m3 norm ops) Water Targets Waste Targets Waste to Landfill (t) Solid Prescribed Waste to Landfill (t) Mine Rehabilitation Targets 2011 Total 2011 Target 2011 Area to Clear (ha) 6.24 5.0 2011 Area to Rehabilitate (ha) 4.93* >5.0 *2.082 ha of cleared area was old haul road from the Roche mine (prior to Alcoa) so no topsoil was available for rehab.
