    Groundwater, Mineral Resources and Land Stability in the Tasman Peninsula. 1. Groundwater from Fractured Rocks

    1979/3. Groundwater, mineral resources and land stability in the Tasman Peninsula. W.C. Cromer, R.C. Donaldson P. C. Stevenson V.N. Threader Abstract Groundwater prospects, mineral deposits and land stability are discussed to provide information for a planning study of the Tasman Peninsula. INTRODUCTION This report was written at the request of the Commissioner for Town and Country Planning, and is the result of a map compilation, a search of records and field work during the period 20 - 24 November 1978. 1. Groundwater from fractured rocks P.C. Stevenson The amoun~ of water that may be obtained from the hard rocks of the Peninsula by boreholes is controlled by the composition and conditions of weathering and fracture. The amount of direct information is limited because only eight bore­ holes have been recorded, all at Koonya, Premaydena or Nubeena, but exper­ ience in other parts of the State enable some general comments to be made. The geology of the Peninsula is shown in Figure 1. The Jurassic dolerite, which forms many of the most rugged and remote parts of the Peninsula, has not been drilled for water but is regarded throughout Tasmania as an extremely poor prospect; very hard to drill, almost always dry and where water exists it is hard and saline. It cannot be recommended. The Permian mudstone and fine-grained sandstone have not been drilled in the Peninsula, but elsewhere are reliable producers of good quality groundwater. yields of 20 to 150 l/min and qualities of 200 - 600 mg/l of total dissolved solids are usual.

    Lemon Rock - Cape Forestier - Cape Tourville

    Lemon Rock - Cape Forestier - Cape Tourville Erika Shankley Lemon Rock, Cape Forestier Photo: AMSA Cape Tourville light, established 17 November 1971 Photo: AMS One of the very first lights built by the fledgling Commonwealth Lighthouse Service after it came into being in 1915 was erected in Tasmania on precipitous Lemon Rock, off Cape Forestier. In a letter to the Consolidated Light Board of Tasmania in April 1907, Captain J.L.B. Hunter, Master of the S.S. Durham, said that there were not sufficient lights on the East Cost of Tasmania. In his opinion, he said, “there should be a light in the vicinity of Cape Forestier, as it would be a great boon to vessels coming from Tasmania.”1 In fact, a light at this location had been one of the recommendations by Commander C.R.W. Brewis, R.N., in his Preliminary Report on the Lighting of the Coast of Tasmania and the Islands in Bass Strait to the Commonwealth Government in April 1912. At that time, he said that the ratio of lights per coastal mileage was one light to each 62.5 miles, whereas he recommended this be increased to one light for each 47.6 miles. Extracts from Preliminary Report on Lighting of the Coast of Tasmania and the Islands in Bass Strait with recommendations as to existing lights and additional lights by Commander C.R.W. Brewis R.N., April 1912 It was not until May 1914 that “As a result of representations by the Premier in March, the Prime Minister has informed that provision has been made for lighthouse works for the financial year 1914-15 for the erection of a lighthouse at Cape Forrestier [sic].

    Norfolk Bay and Frederick Henry Bay Monitoring Program

    EPA Water Quality Monitoring Plan for Norfolk Bay, 2018-19 Introduction The EPA has undertaken to conduct water quality monitoring within Norfolk Bay (and Frederick Henry Bay) to assist in understanding of the marine environment and provide an independent validation of water quality data provided by the aquaculture industry. Aims To provide water quality information to increase the understanding of water quality within Norfolk Bay and Frederick Henry Bay To provide water quality information to assist nutrient dispersion modelling and biogeochemical model development and validation To provide independent validation of water quality information collected by (or on behalf of) Huon Aquaculture. Description Norfolk Bay forms the northern extent of the Tasman Peninsula and Norfolk Bay Marine Farm Development Plan Area (MFDPA). The monitoring program is to commence during August 2018, prior to the Huon Aquaculture Permit Area being stocked with fish. Under the terms of Environmental Licence 9957 held by Huon Aquaculture, water quality monitoring is to be conducted at six (6) locations within Norfolk Bay and Fredrick Henry Bay. Of these five (5) were selected for monitoring under this program for validation purposes (See Table 1). Water quality data is to be collected on a monthly basis. Program commencement: August 2018 Scheduled completion: January 2019 Extension of the monitoring program is subject to review. An overview of the monitoring locations is shown in Table 1 and a map of the locations is shown in Figure 1. A list and overview of the environmental parameters to be collected is shown in Table 2.
