1 INTRODUCTION The Wambo Coal Mine is an open cut and underground coal mining operation located approximately 15 kilometres (km) west of Singleton, near the village of Warkworth, New South Wales (NSW). The Wambo Coal Mine is owned and operated by Wambo Coal Pty Limited (WCPL), a subsidiary of Peabody Energy Australia Pty Limited. The South Bates Extension Underground Mine is a component of the approved Wambo Coal Mine. The South Bates Extension Underground Mine is scheduled to commence in Longwall 17 in September 2018 and involves extraction of coal by longwall mining methods from the Whybrow Seam within Coal Lease (CL) 397, Mining Lease (ML) 1594 and ML 1572. The potential environmental impacts of the existing Wambo Coal Mine (including the South Bates [Whybrow Seam] Underground Mine) were assessed in the Wambo Development Project Environmental Impact Statement (the Wambo Development Project EIS) (WCPL, 2003). Development Consent DA 305-7-2003 for the Wambo Coal Mine was granted on 4 February 2004 by the then NSW Minister for Urban Affairs and Planning under Part 4 of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979. An application to modify the Development Consent (DA 305-7-2003 MOD 17) to allow the development of the South Bates Extension Underground Mine (Longwalls 17 to 25) in the Whybrow Seam was approved in December 2017. The application was accompanied by the South Bates Extension Modification Environmental Assessment (WCPL, 2017). This Subsidence Monitoring Program forms a part of the Extraction Plan being developed for the approved Longwalls 17 to 20.
2 SCOPE Purpose: This Subsidence Monitoring Program for Longwalls 17 to 20 outlines the monitoring
program for subsidence effects for mining of Longwalls 17 to 20 at the South Bates Extension Underground Mine.
Scope: This Subsidence Monitoring Program covers the Longwalls 17 to 20 Application Area. This Subsidence Monitoring Program has been prepared in accordance with Condition 22C(g) of Schedule 4 of the Development Consent (DA 305-7-2003), as a component of the South Bates Extension Underground Mine Longwalls 17 to 20 Extraction Plan. Condition 22C(g) of Schedule 4 of the Development Consent (DA 305-7-2003) states:
22C. The Applicant must prepare and implement an Extraction Plan for the second workings within each seam to be mined to the satisfaction of the Secretary. Each Extraction Plan must:
...
(g) include the following to the satisfaction of DRG:
...
• a subsidence monitoring program to:
– provide data to assist with the management of the risks associated with subsidence;
– validate the subsidence predictions; and
– analyse the relationship between the subsidence effects and impacts under the plan and any ensuing environmental consequences;
…

SMP LW17-20 Rev A April 2018 Page 4
This program has been prepared in consideration of the Draft Guidelines for the Preparation of Extraction Plans Required under Conditions of Development Consents, Project Approvals and Mining Lease Conditions for Underground Coal Mining (Version 5) (Department of Planning and Environment and NSW Trade & Investment – Division of Resources and Energy, 2015), which requires: • proposed subsidence monitoring activities (individually specified);
• information or subsidence parameters to be obtained from each monitoring activity;
• proposed locations and/or extents where each monitoring activity will be undertaken, in particular, the proposed layout and/or locations of instrumentation, monitoring points or inspections (including graphical plans);
• proposed timing, frequency and duration of each monitoring activity;
• proposed monitoring methods, technologies, industry standards or Codes of Practice to be applied in undertaking each monitoring activity;
• proposed measures and procedures for quality assurance and competence of personnel undertaking monitoring activities;
• proposed procedures to record monitoring results;
• proposed reporting of monitoring results;
• capacity of the program to detect early warning of deviations from the defined performance measures and associated performance indicators;
• summarise and consolidate the various monitoring programs presented in each of the key component plans; and
• figures showing the monitoring sites for each of the various monitoring programs. Proposed monitoring and reporting of subsidence effects for Longwalls 17 to 20 is described in Section 3. A summary of monitoring of subsidence impacts and environmental consequences is described in Section 4. This Subsidence Monitoring Program has been prepared by WCPL. The appointment of the team of suitably qualified and experienced experts (which includes representatives from WCPL) has been endorsed by the Secretary of the Department of Planning and Environment (DP&E).

3 SUBSIDENCE EFFECTS MONITORING AND REPORTING
3.1 SUBSIDENCE MONITORING DETAILS Subsidence monitoring lines are monitored until negligible subsidence is detected. Discontinuance of survey of these lines will be totally at the discretion of the Principal Subsidence Engineer (NSW Division of Resources and Geosciences [DRG]). The monitoring lines for Longwalls 17 to 20 (Lines 8XL, CL17B and CL19B) will be installed as star pickets driven to refusal with a mark then punched into the top and labelled. The marks will be capped with a protective cover that will be removed during survey. Survey pegs shall generally be a minimum of 10 m and a maximum of 20 m apart. Surveys shall be carried out using either differential levelling to class LC accuracy or Trig heightening methods to an accuracy of class B as specified in the Inter-Governmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping Special Publication 1. LiDAR monitoring lines (Lines CL17A, CL18A, CL19A and CL20A) will be analysed by creating a surface profile along the line from 3 dimensional LiDAR data. The potential for survey error due to displacement of the data will be minimised through the use of fixed reference points outside the angle of draw. This data will be used to provide an estimate of the actual angle of draw to the limit of vertical subsidence data at the commencement ends. LiDAR analysis is considered the most suitable monitoring method given the terrain constrains the ability to use other survey methods. Details of any subsidence impacts observed will be recorded in the Subsidence Impact Register with visual observations documented in the Subsidence Impact Register Assessment Form (Attachment 2). Visual inspections will be undertaken in accordance with the inspection checklist provided in Attachment 2. The Subsidence Impact Register will be maintained as an electronic spread sheet on-site, with hard copies of assessment forms filed in a folder. The data collected under this monitoring program for Longwalls 17 to 20 will be provided to the Division of Resources and Geosciences in a timely fashion and a suitable format.
3.2 SURVEY ACCURACY AND FREQUENCY The prescribed accuracy, as defined by the Inter-Governmental Committee on the Survey and Mapping Special Publication 1 (ICSM SP1) and the required frequency of the surveys can be seen in Table 1.
3.3 SUBSIDENCE EFFECTS RECORDING AND REPORTING Subsidence survey data for the South Bates Extension Underground Mine will be stored by WCPL in a centralised database, with results from each survey clearly demarcated. Subsidence survey data will be provided to the Principal Subsidence Engineer (DRG) promptly following each survey. Subsidence effects will also be reported under the reporting framework of the Extraction Plan.

SUBSIDENCE INSPECTION CHECKLIST WHERE TO INSPECT • 500 metres behind and 100 metres in front of the current longwall face position. EXTENT OF INSPECTION • Include the area of active subsidence based on the 26.5 degree angle of draw. WHAT TO LOOK FOR • Surface Cracking: inspect edges of extraction void and travelling abutments.
• Surface Humps: inspect near centre of extracted panels and travelling abutment.
• Surface Ponding: inspect low lying areas for evidence of increased/new ponding.
• Access Tracks: inspect for step change in land surface and changes in access for serviceability.
• Warning Signage: inspect condition and legibility of relevant warning signage.
• Powerlines: inspect for changes of conductor clearance and power pole condition.
• Check the serviceability of built features (e.g. fences, buildings, dams and access tracks).
• Note any flooding hazards for access tracks.
• Carry out any inspections required in accordance with the Built Features Management Plan for Longwalls 17 to 20.
ACTIONS IF AN IMPACT IS IDENTIFIED 1. Employ additional subsidence warning signs if necessary.
2. Notify Key Personnel (including asset owner if relevant [e.g. if asset is not a WCPL-owned asset]).
3. Assess impact against requirements of the relevant TARP and implement actions as required.
4. Record implemented actions in the Subsidence Impact Register Assessment Form.
5. Notify the Principal Subsidence Engineer (DRG).
6. Notify other stakeholders as required (e.g. DP&E, DRG etc.).
