101 Mine rehabilitation

(1) Total gigajoules of energy input that: (a) are used for the purpose of mine rehabilitation; and (b) have not been counted for another production variable at the facility. (2) The metric in subsection (1) is applicable to a facility: (a) that undertakes mine rehabilitation within the facility by conducting any of the following activities (the rehabilitation activities): (i) haulage of material; (ii) shaping and contouring of landforms; (iii) revegetation; (iv) management of tailings and wastewater; (v) associated activities such as dust suppression; (b) where the rehabilitation activities: (i) are in excess of those required for the mine’s normal operation; and (ii) are not associated with on‑site electricity generation; and (iii) do not fall within the scope of any other production variable in this Schedule.

Note: Examples: Mine rehabilitation of an entire pit.

Note: Mine rehabilitation ramping up as production drops towards mine closure.

Note: Mine rehabilitation at the end of a mine’s life following cessation of production.

(3) The activity in subsection (2) is the mine rehabilitation activity. (4) The default emissions intensity is 0.0702 t CO2‑e per gigajoule of energy input to the mine rehabilitation activity. (5) The best practice emissions intensity for the production variable is 0.0702 t CO2‑e per gigajoule of energy input to mine rehabilitation activity. (6) Without limitation, the quantity of the metric in subsection (1) may be evidenced by: (a) third party contracts; or (b) fuel purchase receipts; or (c) fuel use records from a fuel management system; or (d) evidence of an activity scheduled in an approved mining and rehabilitation plan relating to the mine rehabilitation activity.
