Revised Proposal for the Roy Hill Iron Ore Mine – Environmental Review Document
11 January 2021 – 25 January 2021
Roy Hill Iron Ore Pty Ltd (RHIO) proposes to amend the existing Roy Hill Iron Ore Mine Proposal to increase the ground disturbance footprint by 5,995 hectares, incorporate a life of mine water management strategy (including water abstraction, dewatering and Managed Aquifer Recharge), revise the waste material management strategy including changes to backfilling of pits and waste rock dump locations, develop permanent surface water structures and have an increase to greenhouse gas emissions via the Revised Proposal.
An Environmental Review Document (ERD) has been prepared by RHIO in accordance with Environmental Protection Authority procedures and is released for public review.
The ERD describes the Revised Proposal, examines the likely environmental effects and the proposed environmental management procedures associated with the Revised Proposal.
