Pathway- release of greenhouse gasses via burning fossil fuels (through air)

Receptor- the atmosphere and air around the site more specifically

Potential impacts on wildlife (noise pollution, habitat destruction)

Environmental impacts from a high energy demand process

  • Gain permission from specific councils to mine

  • Consider the wildlife around and near the mine

  • Consider different types of pollution that will be caused as a result of this

  • What time is more suitable to do this?

  • Identify type and quantity of mineral deposits, grade and potential for economic extraction

  • Consider sustainable mining practices, such as resource efficiency

  • Ensure the site is accessible for personal, transportation and equipment

  • Follow regulatory compliances

Pros: Jobs provided, an economic ‘boom’ in the area and new skills/education given to people

Cons: These skills might become outdated as we move towards renewables, Might be health concerns because of the pollution and possible ground water contamination
