Noise

Routine attended, unattended and traffic noise surveys are conducted at Newcrest's Cadia Valley Operations (CVO) and Blayney Dewatering Facility in accordance with the CVO Noise Monitoring Program (CVO NMP), approved by NSW Department of Planning and Environment July 2014.

Monitoring undertaken includes:

• Directional Noise Monitoring
• Attended Noise Monitoring
• Traffic Monitoring
• Meteorological Monitoring

Monitoring is conducted using a combination of devices including a directional noise monitor (e.g. QuattroSound^®); an attended noise monitor (e.g. the Bruel and Kjaer Sound Level Analyser) and an unattended noise monitor (eg. EL-215 type logger).

Monitoring Locations

* Monitoring at the CVO Dewatering Facility will only be undertaken at one site per quarter, during the daytime six months prior to and during the construction of the facility. The full programme would commence upon the commissioning of the CVO Dewatering Facility.
** Location 4 at the Blayney Dewatering Facility will be monitored only when monitoring results show that operational noise is not within project approval criteria at location 2.
