The Proposal
Intec Envirometals Pty Ltd proposed to transport approximately 30,000 tonnes of smelter slag from the former Tasmanian smelters site beside Henty Road, Zeehan and 8,000 tonnes of electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) from the Hellyer mine site, to a building at 115 Minna Road, Heybridge.
The materials will then be blended and transported to Burnie for shipment overseas.
The proponent lodged a Development Application with a supporting Environmental Effects Report (EER) to the Burnie 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).
The EER was prepared by the proponent on the basis of the project specific guidelines for preparation of a EER which were provided by the
Board.
Public Exhibition of Documentation and Public Representations
A copy of the permit application, and of all plans and other documentation submitted with the permit application (including the EER)
were made available for public inspection. The public comment period is now closed.
