Based on public information and publicly accessible land, it is obvious that there are numerous omissions within the EIS with regards to the detection of threatened species most likely to be directly adversely affected by this proposal.

The DP&E is urged to request more details on the impacts to biodiversity in determining this proposal.

OBJECTING TO EXCESSIVE NOISE POLLUTION - see attachment
The level crossing bells
· The bells are triggered 500m before each crossing.
· The bells are active from 7am to 10pm every day.
· As each train makes its way through the village it triggers all three sets of level crossing lights and warning bells, one after the other.
· Each train takes between 9 to 15 minutes to pass through the village.
· Eight additional trains would add between 72 minutes and 120 minutes of loud warning bells each day up to 10pm.

The train horn
· While the bells do cease from 10pm to 7am, the train horns continue to be operated all night.

This map of Robertson is intended to be an attachment to my earlier submission, sent 30/06/2017,12.20 am, an objection on excessive noise pollution that will be inflicted on the residents of Robertson as a result of Hume Coal's Berrima Rail Projects contributing an additional eight trains through the village everyday.

I have attached my formal submission updated 30/06/17
