The Proposal
Fonterra Pty Ltd has proposed to replace two 10 megawatt coal fired boilers with two 10 megawatt gas fired boilers capable of burning a maximum of 1.68 tonnes per hour of natural gas at their milk processing facility in Spreyton.
The proponent has lodged a Development Application with a supporting Environmental Effects Report (EER) to Devonport City Council.
The application was referred to the Board of the Environment Protection Authority (the Board) for assessment under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA).
