1 Introduction
1.1 Background
This Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) is one of a series of Environmental Management
Plans that together form the Environmental Management System for the Glencore Integra
Underground Mine, herein referred to as Integra Underground.
The Integra Underground is approximately 12 km north-west of Singleton, in the Singleton Local
Government Area (see Figure 1). Underground mining operations are approved at a maximum
extraction rate of 4.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of run-of-mine (ROM) coal until 31 December
2035 under Project Approval PA 08_0101 (as modified).This approval allows longwall mining of the
Hebden, Barrett and Middle Liddell seams to produce high quality, semi-hard coking coal for export.
The Integra Underground was formerly a part of the larger Integra Mine Complex. This complex
comprised both underground and open cut operations and operated under a single project approval
instrument which combined the project approvals for the Integra Underground (PA 08_0101) and
Integra Open Cut (PA 08_0102). In late 2015, HV Coking Coal Pty Ltd (HVCC) (a 100% Glencore-
owned company) acquired all assets associated with the Integra Underground, which had been placed
in care and maintenance in May 2014. Bloomfield Collieries Pty Limited (Bloomfield) purchased the
open cut and surface facilities (subsequently re-named the Rix’s Creek North Mine).
Following the separate sale of the underground and open cut, the combined project approval was
modified to separate the approvals. Following the separation of the approvals Integra Underground
operated under PA 08_0101 as modified.
HVCC recommenced underground operations in 2017, with development resuming in February 2017
and longwall extraction resuming in May 2017 in accordance with the Extraction Plan as required
under Condition 20 of Schedule 3 of PA 08_0101. An application for a further modification to PA
08_0101 (MOD 7) and accompanying Environmental Assessment (EA) was lodged with the
Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) in June 2017. Subsequently, approval was granted
by DPE on 15 September 2017. The modification application was made to facilitate the construction
of a water pipeline from Integra Underground to the adjacent Mt Owen Complex and the subsequent
use of the pipeline to transfer mine water. The modification enables surplus mine water collected at
Integra Underground to be managed at the Mt Owen Complex and within Glencore’s Greater
Ravensworth Area Water Sharing Scheme (GRAWSS).
An application for Modification 8 (MOD 8) to PA 08_0101 and accompanying EA was lodged with the
DPE in November 2017. Approval was granted by DPE on 16 April 2018. MOD 8 allows continuation
of longwall mining of the Middle Liddell Seam further to the north of the currently approved longwall
panels, along with the construction and operation of ancillary surface infrastructure required to support
the mining activities. The approval of MOD 8 included a requirement to prepare a Construction Traffic
Management Plan (CTMP) to the satisfaction of the Secretary.
1.2 Objectives
This Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) has been developed to satisfy Schedule 3
Conditions 42 of PA 08_0101 for the construction activities included in MOD 8 to PA 08_0101.
Accordingly, this plan:
- provides measures to minimise traffic impacts that may occur during construction of surface
infrastructure and new access road;
- provides measures to ensure construction vehicles utilise the safest route in regards to sight
distances and existing road environment (ie speed, alignment and crash history) when entering
and existing the New England Highway from local roads; and
- describes a program to monitor and report on the effectiveness of these measures.

2.1 Timeframe
The estimated timeframe for construction activities related to MOD 8 under PA 08_0101 is
approximately 12 months. Efforts will be made to complete the works within this timeframe. However,
due to climatic or other unforeseen reasons, construction works may need to be extend beyond this
period.
It should be noted that gas drainage wells will be progressively constructed during mining and will
therefore be constructed beyond this estimated 12 month construction phase.
Should auxiliary fans be constructed, these will generally be undertaken outside of the estimated 12
month construction phase.

The proposed Modification is predicted to have negligible traffic impacts on the road network during the
construction period. Construction traffic generated by the Modification will be temporary in nature and will
not impact upon the performance of the adjacent road network and key intersections. No additional traffic is
anticipated during operation, as the operational workforce will remain unchanged.
The current operational workforce is already included in the background traffic on the road network.
Mitigation measures suggested are to be implemented to remove or ameliorate any construction traffic
related impacts.
Mitigation measures related to the plan are outlined within Section 3.
