In December 1988 Australian Gold Reagents Pty Ltd produced a Public Environmental Review document describing its proposal to expand its existing sodium cyanide solution plant at Kwinana and increase its annual production from 15,000 tonnes per annum to 40,000 tonnes per annum. In its assessment, the Environmental Protection Authority concluded that the only issue not fully addressed was that of risks and hazards. The proposal only quantitatively addressed risks and hazards for a 30,000 tonnes... Read more...Last updated: March 13, 1991
The proposal is to develop Lot 112 Warton Road, Forrestdale for a golf course and driving range facility with the emphasis being on family and casual use. There will be 9 short holes and 9 longer holes that will still be only approximately two thirds the length of an normal golf course. The driving range will be located in the southern end of the site and will be approximately 300m long. The fairways, tees and greens (approximately 6.5ha) will be irrigated, but the driving range will be... Read more...Last updated: February 27, 1991

The objectives of the proposal are to assess the effectiveness of Sumilarv against midges and its impact on non-target organisms in Lake Monger and North Lake. Both wet lands are highly eutrophic (nutrient enriched), there are severe midge nutrient problems during spring and the summer months and Abate is no longer a reliable control agent. The field trials involve applications of Sumilarv at a rate of 10kg/ha on three separate occasions. The compound will be applied by outboard dinghy and a... Read more...Last updated: February 8, 1991
The proposal is to construct dams for the purpose of growing marron. The proponent intends to ensure that the dams will be sealed with clay to ensure no leakage of groundwater into or out of the dams. A design criteria for the dams is that they shall not overflovv during vvinter, so that wastewater will only be generated when the dams are cleaned. A freeboard of 600 mm would be necessary to accommodate winter rainfall without overflow during most winters. The proponent intends to ensure... Read more...Last updated: February 5, 1991
Liquid Air is seeking to pipe hydrogen from CSBP and Farmers' nearby chlor-alkali plant. The proposal necessitates an extension of the existing 50 mm diameter pipeline through private land owned by Tiwest and CSBP and Farmers over a further distance of some 1.6 km. The proponent has identified a preliminary route for the pipeline extension. Approval from Tiwest for the pipeline extension within its boundaries has been granted and, because Liquid Air has a corporate relationship with CSBP... Read more...Last updated: November 8, 1990
The proposal is to place sand (surcharge) to a height of 4.5 metres along a 1.9 kilometre length of the Mitchell Freeway adjacent to Lake Monger. The sand is to be piled to consolidate peat and an old sanitary landfill site for works associated with the widening of the Mitchell Freeway and the provision of a median strip for the proposed Northern Suburbs Rail Link. Because of the presence of peat and sanitary landfill, the ground is relatively spongy and would create an unsuitable base for the... Read more...Last updated: October 25, 1990
On 9 June, 1989, the Environmental Protection Authority received a referral from the Department of Mines of a mining lease application (MLA 70/473) by Magic Soil Ply Ltd. The mining lease application is to supersede a prospecting licence application (PLA 70/807) over the same area and is for a proposal to mine diatomaceous earth from the north·western corner of the lake bed. The referral was held pending clarification of the Government's Policy on Exploration and Mining in Conservation... Read more...Last updated: October 3, 1990
The Water Authority has stated that following the completion of the Pinjar groundwater development, a new major water supply source will be required by 1992. This reasoning is based on current and predicted water consumption demand even in view of the Water Authority's public water conservation programme. Because of the extent, magnitude and likely environmental implications of developing a new water supply source, the EPA required the Water Authority to prepare an ERMP for this project....
