COAL ASSETSAUSTRALIA
Environmental Management• Oaky Creek Coal, located adjacent to the In 2013, Oaky
Creek Coal constructed and commissioned a purpose-built Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant fortreatment of mine-affected legacy pit water. The treatedwater is re-used in operations as a substitute for rawwater in industrial applications.
• The water treatment plant has reduced the mine’s rawwater usage by more than 1 billion litres each year (over60% reduction in raw water usage – equivalent to morethan 500 Olympic swimming pools of freshwater savedannually).
• As more mine services switch to Reverse Osmosis water, itis expected to achieve up to 90% reduction on raw waterusage.
• The water management initiatives being implementedat Oaky Creek Coal demonstrate leading practice thatwill help achieve the objectives of Glencore’s watermanagement strategy for its Queensland coal operations:• To be able to handle weather extremes;• To use water more efficiently; and• To recycle water wherever possible.
