About the document

The Information Guidelines developed by Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development (IESC) outline the information considered necessary to enable the IESC to provide robust scientific advice to government regulators on the water-related impacts of coal seam gas and large coal mining development proposals.

Further information

For some topics, Explanatory Notes have been written to supplement the IESC Information Guidelines, providing tailored guidance and up-to-date robust scientific methodologies and tools for specific components of Environmental Impact Assessments on coal seam gas and large coal mining developments.

  • Uncertainty analysis–Guidance for groundwater modelling within a risk management framework
  • Assessing groundwater-dependent ecosystems
  • Deriving site-specific guideline values for physico-chemical parameters and toxicants
  • Characterisation and modelling of geological fault zones
  • Scientific advice on coal seam gas and coal mining
