The Proposal
TasWater proposed to upgrade the sewage treatment plant (STP) at Blackmans Bay. The upgrade includes increasing the capacity from 4.125 ML per day to an Average Dry Weather Flow of 8.53 ML per day.
The proponent had lodged a Permit Application with a supporting Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan (DPEMP) to Kingborough 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
A copy of the permit application and all plans and other documentation submitted with the permit application (including the DPEMP) were made available for public inspection. The public consultation period has now closed.
Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan
The purpose of the DPEMP is to provide a source of information upon which interested individuals, groups, government agencies and the Board may consider the environmental impacts of the proposal.
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.
