Lorax Environmental. 2013. Window-Babcock Water Quality and Mitigation Study. Completed for Teck Coal Ltd |
| Resource Purpose |
The proposed Quintette Project is an open pit coal mine that includes the Window Pit and associated Window Spoil. These facilities are located within the Babcock Creek catchment, which drains to Flatbed Creek and then to the Murray River. Project effects on water quality have been estimated in support of permitting the Quintette Re-start Project. An update to water quality estimates has been completed in response to QMDRC comments. Water quality estimates and screenings have been completed for Babcock Tributaries and Babcock Creek, which are located downstream of Peace River Coal operations (permitted Trend Project and proposed Roman Project). |
