The EMS requires that objectives and targets be established to ensure continual
improvement in environmental performance. The EMS also contains Environmental
Management Programs (EMPs) which document the practical means to achieve objectives
and targets and continually reduce environmental risks through identified environmental
improvements.
The EMS includes a variety of environmental audits to be undertaken at Bengalla
including:
• Regular internal, independent environmental audits which are undertaken four
times per year;
• Periodic external certification audits of the EMS to verify it complies with ISO14001
undertaken biennially;
• A combined biennial compliance audit of approval conditions and RTCA
expectations;
• DoP audits at five yearly intervals as per requirements of DA 211/93 (M1),
undertaken at the same time as the compliance audit; and
• Other audits by statutory authorities (DPI and DoP annual audit of rehabilitation and
announced or unannounced audits by the Department of Environment and Climate
Change (DECC)).
The EMS will continue to operate during and following mine closure to ensure all
environmental (including monitoring and management) and social responsibilities are
met for up to five years after mine closure or as approved by relevant regulators.
