Abstract
The dataset was compiled by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple components found in references but without the use of source datasets. The processes undertaken to compile this dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.
Table contains start and end dates for baseline and CRDP mines in the Hunter subregion.
Purpose
The dataset was compiled for purposes of generating time-line figure for HUN 2.3.4 to show the intensity and duration of mining activity in the Hunter subregion under the baseline and CRDP.
Dataset History
It is based on information compiled in Hodgkinson et al (2015) from a comprehensive review of mining reports for Hunter subregion mines. Some dates were subsequently modified during consultation with mining company representatives and during the product review process. The start dates were important for determining whether a mining operation was baseline or CRDP.
