PROJECT SEA DRAGON
SEAFARMS GROUP LTD
Legune Station, Bynoe Harbour, Gunn Point, Northern Territory
Part of the EIS team for three of the sites for this very large proposed prawn farming operation, involving a number of sites across northern Australia. The works involved preparation and lodgement of the EIS for two of the sites, focusing on soil/land, water, decommissioning plan, groundwater, acid sulfate soils, marine/estuarine waters, waste, and including presentations to government and subsequent SEIS works. EMCA developed a project wide Environmental Management System (EMS) with a site specific Environmental Management Plan for each site, including specialised Water Quality Monitoring and Management Plans involving estuarine and marine monitoring programs for each of the sites. The above required independent peer review and approval from State and Commonwealth agencies, which were all obtained. The Project is currently in the early stages of construction, having achieved all pre-start approvals.
