The Proposal
The proponent is proposing to intensify operations at
the Montumana Gravel Quarry, located off the Bass Highway, approximately 24
kilometres west of the Wynyard township. The proponent seeks a production
increase from 5,000 cubic metres to 20,000 cubic metres per annum.
The proponent has lodged a Permit Application with a supporting Environmental Effects Report (EER) to 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 EER) were made available for public inspection. The public consultation period has now closed.
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.
