2. AIR QUALITY MONITORING The air quality monitoring results for the reporting period are summarised below.
2.1 Depositional Dust The depositional dust (g/m2/month) results (insoluble solids) for the reporting period are shown in Table 4 and Figure 1.

EPL 5129 does not include a licence limit for depositional dust. A 12-month rolling average air quality
criteria of 4 g/m2/month is commonly used for comparison purposes (Figure 2). The 4 g/m2/month criteria
is a condition of the Lidsdale Siding project approval, however applies at residences on privately owned
property. The Lidsdale Siding dust gauges are located near operational areas, and not at private
residences.

2.2 PM10 Monitoring The short-term criterion for particulate matter of 50 μg/m3 was not exceeded for the month. The gap in data for the period 9 June to 13 June is attributed to a battery failure in the particulate matter mass monitor.
