The proposal is to develop a residue disposal facility at Lot 4580, Panizza Road and upgrade part of Panizza Road, Dardanup.
The proposal comprises a total disturbance area of up to 58 hectares (ha) including 55 ha within Lot 4580 and approximately 3 ha along a 1 kilometre (km) section of Panizza Road. The proposal will comprise the following: up to nine residue disposal areas (RDAs); a lined leachate containment pond; stormwater collection dam; upgraded access road; and other ancillary infrastructure, including internal roads and offices.
The proposal will use water to produce a slurry of the TSR at a production rate of approximately 120,000 cubic metres (m3) per year, this equates to a total of 4,200,000 m of slurry to be deposited within the RDAs over the 45 year life (2019 to 2064) of the proposal.
