4.3. Proposed TSF

The Upper Mundic Gully TSF has been designed by a Register Professional Engineer Queensland

(RPEQ) from WSP. The Upper Mundic Gully TSF is proposed to be constructed in two stages as

referenced below:

• Stage 1 – Reshape of existing mine spoil dump and construct starter embankment to RL 360m;

and

• Stage 2 – Raise embankment across top of spoil dump to top of gully ridgeline to RL 390m.

The staged approach to construction provides benefits in terms of reducing initial borrowing of material

to construct the embankment and construct a TSF that can accommodate potential water balance

sensitivities acknowledging climate uncertainties.

The concept design drawings for the TSF are presented in this report as follows (higher resolution

images are included in Appendix C):

• Figure 21: Plan and Longitudinal Section Stage 1;

• Figure 22: Plan and Longitudinal Section Stage 2; and

• Figure 23: Typical Embankment Section.
