Operations, People, Safety
˃ Production: After a challenging year, November saw the site’s production get back
on track.˃ Exceeded budgeted volumes during the course of the month.
˃ We will be working through the Christmas-New Year period in order to ‘catch up’ on
lost time during 2019.˃ The kiln will shut down from 13 January for around 20 days for its annual maintenance program.
˃ Cement milling will continue as normal throughout the period.
˃ Safety: Recent incident involving a contracted coal truck tipping onto its side while
trying to unload on an uneven surface.˃ Occurred in early hours of morning when surface was not readily visible.
˃ Driver was uninjured in incident.
˃ Personnel: We welcome Rajat Mittal who will work in process control.
Dust mitigation and management progress˃ The ‘real time’ monitor has been ordered, with the aim to install it by the end of
the year. This will include direct telemetry to the control room.
˃ The Air Quality TARP has been prepared.
˃ The EPA issued Boral with a ‘Show Cause’ regarding the dust incident of late
June. Boral has provided a response and is awaiting the outcome from the EPA.
Operations: New water cart˃ Our new 30000L water cart is almost ready for deployment.
˃ Replaces former 7000L cart at a cost of around $250 000.
˃ Has cannon fitted for targeted spraying.
˃ New filling station built – former cart took 30-40 minutes to fill, new cart will take 5.
˃ Training for staff will begin next week and the cart is expected to be put to work from
Thursday/Friday.
˃ Until then, we’ll continue to use two contracted carts to manage site dusts.
Solid Waste Derived Fuels (SWDF) ˃ The SWDF shed extension is now complete but not yet operating.
˃ Crane programming issues are delaying finalisation of the project.

˃ Ambient Air Monitoring Program – HVAS.
Environmental overview˃ Water quality monitoring.
˃ Due to the ongoing impact of the drought, no discharges have been recorded for the most recent
period.
˃ Three recent submissions to the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and
Environment (DPIE).˃ Solid Waste Derived Fuels (SWDF) first year assessment report.
˃ SWDF 12 monthly audit: nil non-compliances, two recommendations (update Operational
Environment Management Plan and model ground emissions).
˃ SWDF Quarterly Pollutant Tracking report.
Then and now – 2014 v 2019˃ The picture on the left was taken just after the trees were planted during April
2014. The one of the right was taken during October from the same point.˃ Trees originally planted as part of site Landscape Management Plan.

> Planning
Planning˃ MOD 11 – Use of HiCal 50.
˃ MOD 11 was approved on 25 October 2019.
˃ Approval now permits blending of HiCal 50 (carbon
anode) at 4% with coal and use during start-up
conditions.
˃ Licence variation submitted to the EPA.
˃ Anticipating commencing use in early 2020 once the
EPA variation is approved.
˃ MOD 12 - Isotainers˃ MOD 12 seeks to introduce handling of isotainers at the
site via rail rather then just on road.
˃ This could, over time, reduce our reliance on road
based deliveries from site.
˃ Application was submitted to DPIE for assessment in
July which continues.
˃ The EPA and Council have provided favourable
responses to the project.
˃ Noise impacts are considered to be minimal and can
be managed on the site.
Planning˃ MOD 13 - SWDF hours of delivery.
˃ Ultimately, we want to reduce the effects of traffic movements in the site area.
˃ We are aiming to achieve this by dispersing the amount of vehicle movements we add to local
roads.
˃ This will result in more consistent delivery of SWDF materials to the site, and won’t increase the
overall amount of vehicle movements.
˃ This will allow more efficient delivery of SWDF material to the site and use in the kiln.

> Community
Community˃ Habitat corridor proposal.
˃ Internal discussion held following meeting in North Sydney.
˃ Supportive of concept however more information required.
˃ Will require Cement line management endorsement, multi-year project if supported, resource
dependant.
Community˃ Previously reported support for the Southern Highlands Kennel and Obedience
Club (20 Oct) and annual Harper’s Mansion Garden and Plant Fair (27 Oct).˃ Both events conducted successfully on respective dates.
˃ A note that community contribution may be more limited during 2020 due to
resource availability.˃ Restructuring of Berrima’s community support program is planned to be undertaken to suit
available resources and site-determined local priorities.
