Minor Project Approvals
Review of Environmental Factors
A Review of Environmental Factors (REF)is an assessment of the potential impacts associated with projects that are undertaken outside of the Project Approval area. This includes exploration drilling, where an REF will be submitted for approval to the NSW Department of Primary Industries.
REF's prepared by Moolarben Coal are available for download below.
