A third party has referred B&J Catalano's proposal for a hard rock quarry (Basalt) on Lot 501 Coalfields Rd, Wellington. The EPA has sought information from the proponent about its proposal to inform its decision whether to assess the proposal, and if so, the level of assessment. The proposal is for the extraction of 50,000 to 100.000 tonnes per year of basalt. Rock will be extracted by drill and blast and with an excavator and will then be crushed on site for road transport.
Following the seven day public comment period and consideration of any comments received, the EPA will decide whether or not this proposal requires environmental impact assessment and, if so, what level of assessment will be applied.
The Chairman's decisions on level of assessment are released each Monday on the EPA's website.
