What will be done to ensure dust levels during construction are minimised?
The Hinze Dam Alliance monitors dust to ensure the project operates within strict guidelines and maintain the health of near neighbours, the surrounding environment and the on-site workers. Dust levels were measured prior to construction, using an air sampler, and these normal levels will be compared to any emissions generated by typical activities and construction traffic. Recycled water is used preferentially for dust suppression during construction. The Hinze Dam Alliance is also assessing other water saving management measures such as the use of dust suppressants to reduce water wastage. Any feedback regarding potable water tank conditions will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
