  • A Review of Geoconservation Values
    Geoconservation Values of the TWWHA and Adjacent Areas 3.0 GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOHERITAGE VALUES OF THE TWWHA AND ADJACENT AREAS 3.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the geoconservation (geoheritage) values of the TWWHA, with particular emphasis on the identification of geoconservation values of World Heritage significance. This assessment is based on: • a review (Section 2.3.2) of the geoconservation values cited in the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989); • a review of relevant new scientific data that has become available since 1989 (Section 2.4); and: • the use of contemporary procedures for rigorous justification of geoconservation significance (see Section 2.2) in terms of the updated World Heritage Criteria (UNESCO 1999; see this report Section 2.3.3). In general, this review indicates that the major geoconservation World Heritage values of the TWWHA identified in 1989 are robust and remain valid. However, only a handful of individual sites or features in the TWWHA are considered to have World Heritage value in their own right, as physical features considered in isolation (eg, Exit Cave). In general it is the diversity, extent and inter-relationships between numerous features, sites, areas or processes that gives World Heritage significance to certain geoheritage “themes” in the TWWHA (eg, the "Ongoing Natural Geomorphic and Soil Process Systems" and “Late Cainozoic "Ice Ages" and Climate Change Record” themes). This "wholistic" principle under-pinned the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989, p. 27; see this report Section 2.3.2), and is strongly supported by the present review (see discussion and justification of this principle in Section 2.2).

They do not take account of cultural values, which are the subject of a separate assessment, and other factors. Decisions concerning management of the vehicle tracks are the responsibility of the Parks and Wildlife Service. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Resource Management and Conservation Division of the Department of Primary Industries and Water prepared this report with input from Michael Comfort, Rolan Eberhard, Richard Schahinger, Chris Sharples and Shaun Thurstans. Comments were received from the following RMC staff: Michael Askey- Doran, Jason Bradbury, Sally Bryant, Stephen Harris, Ian Houshold, Michael Pemberton and Greg Pinkard. Staff from the Parks and Wildlife Service at Arthur River provided assistance in the field and generously shared their collective knowledge.

  • Tasmanian Geological Survey: Acid Mine Drainage
    TasmanianTasmanian Acid Acid DrainageDrainage Reconnaissance Reconnaissance ReportReport 1 1 AcidAcid drainage drainage fromfrom abandoned abandoned minesmines in in Tasmania Tasmania MINERAL RESOURCES TASMANIA Tasmanian Geological Survey Natural Heritage Tasmania Record 2001/05 DEPARTMENT of Trust INFRASTRUCTURE, Helping Communities ENERGYand RESOURCES Helping Australia Tasmanian Geological Survey Natural Heritage Record 2001/05 Trust Tasmania Helping Communities Helping Australia Tasmanian Acid Drainage Reconnaissance 1. Acid drainage from abandoned mines in Tasmania Dr Shivaraj Gurung FOREWORD Acid drainage, resulting from the oxidation of sulphide-bearing rocks, is recognised as one of the major sources of heavy metal pollution in many of waterways proximal to metal mining sites in Tasmania. Prior to this investigation, only limited information was available on the extent of acid drainage impact from historic abandoned mine sites. Section 37.5 of the Tasmanian State Policy on Water Quality Management (1997) requires that “an inventory of sources of acid drainage from historic mine workings should be carried out”. This reconnaissance investigation provides a basis for this inventory. The program is a component of the proposed State Water Quality and Quantity programs and was largely funded by the National Heritage Trust. Water analyses were carried out by the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment at the Analytical Service Tasmania laboratory. Geochemical analyses, map production and project management were carried out by Mineral Resources Tasmania. This report primarily focuses on acid drainage from abandoned mine sites in Tasmania. It presents new data and the compilation of existing data on water chemistry and geochemistry associated with abandoned mine sites in Tasmania. The report accompanies a series of acid drainage impact maps and an inventory of acid-producing abandoned mine sites.
