The Proposal
Huon Valley Council proposed to increase production from an existing quarry at Pelverata Road, Upper Woodstock, to a maximum annual production of 32,000 tonnes (20,000 cubic metres) per year.

Environment Protection Authority (the Board) for assessment under the
Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA).

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 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.
