Ulan Mine aims to minimise the impacts on flora, fauna and fauna habitats that could result from mining and associated activities within land owned by and managed by Ulan Mine. This includes the prevention and management of impacts as well as monitoring to provide early identification of an impact which will trigger the need to implement mitigation measures

More specifically the objectives of the Flora and Fauna Management Plan are to:

  • Meet the requirements of development consents relevant to the operation of Ulan Coal Mines Limited (UCML);
  • Address all Flora & Fauna related issues in the mine operations area;
  • Set down control measures to mitigate the impacts on Flora and Fauna associated with mining activities at UCML;
  • Outline how UCML have established and are implementing a Compensatory Habitat Plan as required by DA No. 103-5-2005.
  • Outline the monitoring and measurement protocols for Flora & Fauna within the UCML lease in both the areas that are not disturbed by mining as well as to assess the return of Flora & Fauna to areas that have been rehabilitated;
  • Detail the Review and Reporting protocols; and
  • Establish Responsibilities for the management of Flora & Fauna issues at UCML.
