The Proposal
Tassal Group Ltd proposed an intensification of production at their Dover fish processing factory. It involved an upgrade of their
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and an increase in solid waste. It was also proposed that the new WWTP would receive treated effluent from a nearby netwash facility.
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 proponent lodged a Development Application with a supporting Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan (DPEMP to the
Huon Valley Council.
The DPEMP was prepared by the proponent on the basis of the project specific guidelines for preparation of a DPEMP which were provided by
the Board.

Following the public comment period the proponent was required by the Board, to prepare a DPEMP Supplement to address issues raised in public and Government Agency consultation.
