About this Manual

The purpose of all Emission Estimation Technique (EET) Manuals in this series is to assist Australian manufacturing, industrial and service facilities to report emissions of listed substances to the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI). This Manual describes the procedures and recommended approaches for estimating emissions from facilities engaged in the mining of coal and metalliferous minerals.

The mining industries covered in this Manual apply to the following mine operations:

Coal, Iron Ore, Bauxite, Copper Ore, Gold, Nickel Ore, Silver-Lead-Zinc Ore, Metallic Mineral Ore, Uranium.

Revision of the Manual

The manual has been revised since its publication. The changes from the previous versions are detailed in an erratum table which is included in the manual. It is recommended that the earlier versions of the manual not be used for estimation of emissions from Mining.

Emission Estimation Techniques Used in the Manuals

Estimates of emissions of NPI-listed substances to air, water and land should be reported for each substance that triggers a threshold. The reporting list and detailed information on thresholds are contained in the NPI Guide at the front of this Industry Handbook. In general, there are four types of emission estimation technique (EET) that may be used to estimate emissions from a facility.

The four types described in the NPI Guide are:
