  • Water Management in the Anthony–Pieman Hydropower Scheme
    Water management in the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme Pieman Sustainability Review June 2015 FACT SHEET Background The Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme provides a highly valued and reliable source of electricity. The total water storage of the hydropower scheme is 512 gigalitres and the average annual generation is 2367 gigawatt hours. Construction of the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme has resulted in creation of water storages (lakes) and alterations to the natural flow of existing rivers and streams. The Pieman Sustainability Review is a review of operational, social and environmental aspects of the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme that are influenced by Hydro Tasmania. This fact sheet elaborates on water management issues presented in the summary report, available at http://www.hydro.com.au/pieman-sustainability-review Water storage levels in the Anthony–Pieman Water levels have been monitored at these storages since hydropower scheme their creation in stages between 1981 and 1991. The Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme includes eight Headwater storages: Lake Mackintosh and Lake water storages, classified as headwater storages (Lakes Murchison Mackintosh and Murchison), diversion storages (Lakes Lakes Mackintosh and Murchison are the main headwater Henty and Newton and White Spur Pond) and run-of-river storages for the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme. storages (Lakes Rosebery, Plimsoll and Pieman).

  • 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).

  • Interim Management Plan for the Mt Read RAP
    Tasmanian Geological Survey Tasmania Record 1997/04 Interim Management Plan for the Mt Read RAP A Co-operatively Formulated Plan by Government Agencies, Statutory Bodies and Relevant Land Users for the Mt Read RAP SUMMARY The formulation of this plan by a co-operative committee, comprising representatives from Government Agencies, statutory bodies and relevant land users, is a ‘first’ for Tasmania. The effort by these various parties with an interest in the Mt Read area demonstrates the commitment to protect the area in the absence of any formal reserve. The Mt Read RAP is almost entirely covered by two current mining leases, ML7M/91 over the Henty gold deposit and ML28M/93 associated with the Rosebery silver-lead-zinc mine, and exploration licence EL5/96 held by Renison Limited. The RAP is within the Mt Read Strategic Prospectivity Zone, which means that if the status of the land is changed and this effectively prevents activities on the current mining tenements, then compensation may be payable. The vegetation around Lake Johnston is acknowledged as having exceptionally high conservation and scientific values, which is why a management plan for the area was written in 1992 and adopted by the lessee. There is a need to expand the scope of the previous plan so that all users of the Mt Read area are aware of the need to abide by measures to protect the vegetation. In addition, media reports have generated much interest in the ancient stands of Huon pine growing in one part of the Mt Read RAP. Studies indicate that the existing Huon pine on the site comprises one or a few individuals which may have vegetatively reproduced on the site since the last glaciation.

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.

  • Australian Centre for Environmental Law
    Australian Centre for Environmental Law Best practice heritage identification and protection, Australia’s national heritage regime and the Tarkine Deb Wilkinson and Andrew Macintosh Australian Centre for Environmental Law ANU College of Law ACEL Working Paper March 2011 1. Introduction The Australian National Heritage List (NHL) was established in January 2004 to record, protect and conserve the natural, cultural and Indigenous heritage values associated with places of national significance. As originally envisaged, its role was to fill the gap in the heritage hierarchy between the world and state heritage regimes. The universal values of world heritage properties are listed and protected under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conversation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). State and local government heritage laws provide for the recording, protection and conservation of places of state, regional and local importance. They also protect places of national significance but do so through the lens of state and local interests. The NHL was supposed to provide a single, comprehensive list of places of national significance, which fall between those of world and state importance, and ensure the values of those places are adequately protected and conserved. While there was a coherent logic behind the role of the NHL, its creation was controversial. Previously, the principal federal heritage legislation was the Australian Heritage Commission Act , which was created by the Whitlam Labor Government in 1975. This Act established the Australian Heritage Commission, an independent statutory authority that was responsible for the maintenance of the Register of the National Estate (RNE). The object of the RNE was to provide a comprehensive record of natural and cultural sites ‘that have aesthetic, historic, scientific or social significance or other special value for future generations as well as for the present community’.
