Airly Mine – Cultural Heritage Historically: Four (4) sites have been undermined 45-1-2746 (Artefact Scatter) - Dec 2010 45-1-2763 (Artefact Scatter) – Mar 2011 45-1-2761 (Shelter) – Jul 2011 45-1-2762 (Artefact Scatter) – Sep 2015 Previous 3 Months: No Sites undermined Upcoming 3 Months: One site (45-1-2748) to be undermined; a pre and post monitoring inspection will be carried out as per the ACHMP. Low level subsidence and tilt as a result of mining, does not pose a risk of harm to these sites Fencing activities completed to help mitigate against potential harm 23
