Incitec Pivot Limited (IPL) is a global industrial chemicals company and their Phosphate Hill Operations (PHO) is a Sulphuric Acid Plant at Mount Isa. The life of the mine is estimated to extend until approximately 2030. Alluvium produced a Closure Plan which covers the mines, processing plant, accommodation camp and associated infrastructure areas at Phosphate Hill.

The plan includes, post mining land use, development of completion criteria, closure implementation, including progressive and final rehabilitation, decommissioning, remediation, monitoring and maintenance, financial costing and provisioning process plan reviews.

Our work also identified and documented the legal requirements, liabilities and commitment of IPL and provides the basis for the ongoing review of closure assumptions and closure provisioning.
