Karin Fogarty - Winner of Best Speaker at 2017 Mine Rehab Conference

Wilpinjong Coal

Picture
Karin Fogarty is Wilpinjong Coal’s Environmental Advisor, with over eight years’ experience employment in the coal mining industry in both central Queensland and NSW.  Karin has practical knowledge and experience implementing rehabilitation and mine closure planning at a site level. Karin’s vision is to see an integrated mine planning approach throughout the life of the mine, enabling rehabilitation objectives to be defined with mine closure in mind. Karin holds a Bachelor of Science (Environmental Science and Environmental Earth Science) from James Cook University and a Master Mineral Resources (Environment) from University of Queensland.

​Abstract
​

Update on current rehabilitation practices at Wilpinjong Coal Mine.

Wilpinjong Coal Mine is located near Mudgee in NSW and is owned and operated by Peabody Energy Australia. Wilpinjong is an open cut coal mining operation with a low strip ratio and current approvals to produce 16 Mtpa of ROM coal. Disturbance areas since Peabody acquisition in 2006 have been progressively rehabilitated with species characteristic of native woodland and mixed woodland/pasture. The approved post mine land use has biodiversity corridors linking the Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve and Goulburn River National Park with interlinking grazing areas. To date, Wilpinjong has completed approximately 375ha of rehabilitation of previously mined land. 

Karin will present on the current rehabilitation practices at Wilpinong, current and proposed trials and projects including:
  • Wilpinjong’s approach to integrated planning and implementation
  • Operational trials including:
    • Soil testing and the use of different ameliorates 
    • Green manure crops
    • Microbe investigations
    • Proposed rehabilitation prescribed burn
  • Current investigation into Final Landform Drainage System Design.
