6 SUMMARY<br />

Global Acoustics was engaged to conduct an attended noise survey around <strong>Mangoola</strong> <strong>Coal</strong>,<br />

an open cut coalmine near Wybong in the Upper Hunter Valley of NSW.<br />

The purpose of this noise survey is to quantify and describe the acoustic environment around<br />

the site and compare results with limits specified in the consent.<br />

Environmental noise monitoring described in this report was undertaken during the day<br />

period of 26 October, the evening of 16 October and night periods of 15/16 October 2012.<br />

As shown in Section 4 of this report, <strong>Mangoola</strong> <strong>Coal</strong> complied with the relevant day, evening<br />

and night consent L Aeq(15 minute) noise limits and night L A1(1 minute) noise limits, where<br />

applicable, at all sites during Quarter 4 2012 monitoring.<br />

None the 15 measurements occurred during which <strong>Mangoola</strong> <strong>Coal</strong> was measurable and<br />

where meteorological conditions resulted in criteria applying (in accordance with the project<br />

approval). A low frequency assessment was therefore not required.<br />
