Common use of GROUND DISTURBANCE FOR DRILLING Clause in Contracts

GROUND DISTURBANCE FOR DRILLING. 8.1 If drilling is an agreed Exploration Method, the Explorer must ensure that drilling is carried out in accordance with the following provisions: (a) all drill holes must be constructed in a manner that will endeavour to prevent erosion and prevent collapse of the surrounding surface; (b) drilling fluids and groundwater returned to the surface as part of the drilling process must be contained in a tank or lined sump pending re-use or lawful disposal; (c) drilling sumps or pits left open and unattended for more than 24 hours must be managed to limit direct access by livestock and native fauna and so that there is a means for egress; (d) to minimise the risks associated with gases or liquids contained within the earth: (i) appropriate controls must be applied to effectively manage these risks until the drill holes are permanently plugged or sealed in accordance with the Exploration Licence conditions; (ii) all drill holes must be constructed so as to minimise contamination, cross-contamination and discharge of aquifers during the drilling of the hole; and (iii) venting or flaring of gases must be conducted in a way that minimises the risk of fire, explosion and pollution. (e) groundwater monitoring bores must be licensed in accordance with Government requirements; (f) all drill holes which are maintained in an accessible condition must be cased to prevent collapse and fitted with a removable cap to ensure the safety of persons and fauna; and (g) prior to abandonment, each drill hole must be sealed in accordance with applicable standards and must be completed so as to prevent contamination, cross-contamination and discharge of aquifers.

GROUND DISTURBANCE FOR DRILLING. 8.1 9.1 If drilling is an agreed Exploration Method, the Explorer must ensure that drilling is carried out in accordance with the following provisions: (a) all drill holes must be constructed in a manner that will endeavour to prevent erosion and prevent collapse of the surrounding surface; (b) drilling fluids and groundwater returned to the surface as part of the drilling process must be contained in a tank or lined sump pending re-use or lawful disposal; (c) drilling sumps or pits left open and unattended for more than 24 hours must be managed to limit direct access by livestock and native fauna and so that there is a means for egress; (d) to minimise the risks associated with gases or liquids contained within the earth: (i) appropriate controls must be applied to effectively manage these risks until the drill holes are permanently plugged or sealed in accordance with the Exploration Licence conditions; (ii) all drill holes must be constructed so as to minimise contamination, cross-contamination and discharge of aquifers during the drilling of the hole; and (iii) venting or flaring of gases must be conducted in a way that minimises the risk of fire, explosion and pollution.
