Production: After a challenging year, November saw the site’s production get back
˃ 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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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
˃ This will allow more efficient delivery of SWDF material to the site and use in the kiln.

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.
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.
