  • 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). Lakes The water level fluctuates over the entire operating range Murchison, Henty and Newton and White Spur Pond do not from Normal Minimum Operating Level (NMOL) to Full release water directly to a power station; rather they are Supply Level (FSL) (Figures 1, 2). used to transfer water to other storages within the scheme.

  • Hydro 4 Water Storage
    TERM OF REFERENCE 3: STATE-WIDE WATER STORAGE MANAGEMENT The causes of the floods which were active in Tasmania over the period 4-7 June 2016 including cloud-seeding, State-wide water storage management and debris management. 1 CONTEXT 1.1 Cause of the Floods (a) It is clear that the flooding that affected northern Tasmania (including the Mersey, Forth, Ouse and South Esk rivers) during the relevant period was directly caused by “a persistent and very moist north-easterly airstream” which resulted in “daily [rainfall] totals [that were] unprecedented for any month across several locations in the northern half of Tasmania”, in some cases in excess of 200mm.1 (b) This paper addresses Hydro Tasmania’s water storage management prior to and during the floods. 1.2 Overview (a) In 2014, Tasmania celebrated 100 years of hydro industrialisation and the role it played in the development of Tasmania. Hydro Tasmania believes that understanding the design and purpose of the hydropower infrastructure that was developed to bring electricity and investment to the state is an important starting point to provide context for our submission. The Tasmanian hydropower system design and operation is highly complex and is generally not well understood in the community. We understand that key stakeholder groups are seeking to better understand the role that hydropower operations may have in controlling or contributing to flood events in Tasmania. (b) The hydropower infrastructure in Tasmania was designed and installed for the primary purpose of generating hydro-electricity. Flood mitigation was not a primary objective in the design of Hydro Tasmania’s dams when the schemes were developed, and any flood mitigation benefit is a by-product of their hydro- generation operation.

  • EPBC Act Referral
    EPBC Act referral Note: PDF may contain fields not relevant to your application. These fields will appear blank or unticked. Please disregard these fields. Title of proposal 2021/8909 - South Marionoak Tailings Storage Facility, Rosebery, Tasmania Section 1 Summary of your proposed action 1.1 Project industry type Mining 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities The proposed action is the construction and operation of a new Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) at South Marionoak (SMO) in proximity to Rosebery, Tasmania within the West Coast municipality (South Marionoak TSF). The South Marionoak TSF will form part of the MMG Rosebery mine operations and will allow for piping and disposal of tailings resulting from the processing plant. The proposed South Marionoak TSF will provide long term essential tailings storage for the Rosebery Mine. Rosebery Mine has operated continuously since 1936 as an underground polymetallic base metal mine with a capacity to produce up to 1,100,000 tonnes of ore per year. Rosebery produces zinc, copper and lead concentrates, as well as gold ore. The mine has used the Bobadil TSF, situated approximately 2.5 km north of the mine, and 2/5 Dam TSF situated approximately 1 km south of the mine. The TSFs are expected to reach capacity within the next few years, and a new TSF will be required to support the mine’s ongoing operation. The South Marionoak TSF has been designed as an off-stream facility with storage volume of approximately 25 Mm3 and an anticipated lifespan of around 42 years (based on current tailings production rates).

  • Anglers Alliance Meeting – February 2014
    Inland Fisheries Service Report - Anglers Alliance Meeting – February 2014 Hot Topics Lake Leake Trolling using Petrol Motors There has been feedback from anglers suggesting that the regulation change at Lake Leake permitting trolling should be rescinded. The original proposal for change came through Anglers Alliance and was supported by IFS given it improved access to the fishery and that petrol motors were already in use on the lake and could only be regulated for fishing. It is the view of Inland Fisheries that the regulation change has been well received by many anglers and should not be rescinded unless there is a compelling environmental reason or AAT changes its position. Expansion and Review of the Tasmanian World Heritage Area – Access Western shore Lake King William In response to representations from anglers concerning the actions of PWS staff at Lake King William, IFS contacted Nic Deka, Parks and Reserve manager Cradle Mountain and Lake St Clair, who has advised that there are currently no changes to current use of additional reserve areas including Lake King William. PWS will undertake an assessment and public consultation process before any new public use or access arrangements are introduced. The IFS is making a submission to the TWWHA plan review outlining a suggested management regime for new reserve areas that were previously managed by Hydro Tasmania or Forestry Tasmania and have traditionally been used by anglers including Lake King William, Clarence Lagoon, Laughing Jack Lagoon, Sandbanks Creek (Great Lake) and the area accessed via Gunns Marsh Road including Arthurs Lake, Little Lake and Gunns Lake.
