M25. States “The site will need to be worked without dewatering, unless a Hydrogeological Impact Assessment identifies either no unacceptable hydrogeological impacts or appropriate mitigation is identified to ensure no acceptable impact to hydrogeology”; The site is the highest point in the village and in close proximity to dwellings. 6.44 states that “mineral development must also ensure that there will be no significant change in the ground water or surface water levels, including monitoring of dewatering operations to ensure no adverse impacts on surrounding water availability and/or the water environment”. The excavation will have an unspecified impact on the water tables of the dwellings in the village, which have already been materially impact by a combination of heavy rainfall and prolonged drought conditions. This is unsound and ineffective.
