The Proposal
Tasmanian Advanced Minerals Pty Ltd has proposed to construct and operate a waste depot for the disposal of a maximum of 49,500 tonnes of waste silica flour per year at Hanson's gravel pit, mining lease 69M/1980, off Calder Road, Calder.
The proponent has lodged a Development Application with a supporting Environmental Effects Report (EER) to Waratah-Wynyard 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).
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.
Following the public comment period the proponent was required by the Board to prepare a EER Supplement to address issues raised in public and government agency consultation.
Environmental Effects Report
The purpose of the EER is to provide a source of information upon which interested individuals, groups, government agencies and the Board may consider the environmental and planning impacts of the proposal.
The EER was prepared by the proponent on the basis of the project specific guidelines for preparation of an EER which were provided by the Board.
