Dataset: SSB Historical Mining Footprints DTIRIS 20150818


Description

Abstract

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied.

The metadata was not provided by the data supplier and has been compiled by the programme based on known details at the time of acquisition.

The following data was requested for the SSB region from the NSW Department of Trade and Investment to provide/give access to the following information.

Spatial information (maps, GIS layers, images) showing:

* The xyz dimensions of the footprints of underground (i.e. both longwall and bord-and-pillar) mines excavated from 1980 to 2012, updated once every 4-years, in the SSB bioregion.

* The xyz dimensions of the footprints of open cut mines excavated from 1980 to 2012, updated once every 4-years, in the SSB bioregion, including details of rehabilitated areas, if available

* The z dimension (elevation) relative to sea level, i.e. the AHD reference.

Other information as follows

* The company that undertook each excavation

* For underground workings, whether longwall or board and pillar mining was used, and if the latter, whether the pillars have been subsequently extracted.

* Mine water discharge volumes between 1980 and 2012, or until mine water pumping ceased, as available.

Purpose

NSW Department of Trade and Investment collects this information for monitoring purposes.
