Derwent Estuary Western Shore STPs – Reuse Feasibility StudiesTasWater commissioned pitt&sherry to undertake 9 effluent reuse feasibility studies for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in southeast Tasmania, 7 of which were along the Derwent estuary (Macquarie Point, Selfs Point, Prince of Wales Bay, Cameron Bay, Green Point, Rosny & East Risdon) and two of which were rural (Dunalley & Geeveston). These feasibility studies were required by the EPA.Although each WWTP could have its own feasibility report, pitt&sherry’s analysis concluded that the 7 Derwent WWTPs should be considered collectively. We developed a consolidated reuse strategy for these 7 plants, which would involve progressively connecting the plants to existing effluent reuse schemes and then additional irrigation areas in the Brighton to Sorell region. This would require a new reticulation and pumping network.The reuse system would be expensive - in the order of $145 M including winter storages - and could not be affordable now. However, the strategy could be a long term vision and provides TasWater with a new option to consider in its treatment plant rationalisation deliberations.The redirection of treated effluent out of the Derwent estuary to beneficial reuse could facilitate a very significant expansion of the horticultural industry in southeastern Tasmania. The reuse study report was commended by the EPA for its quality and as a model for other reuse studies.

tunnel sofit• Post remedial works monitoring system design and supervision including shotcrete testing, pull testing, further NDT

and extensometers.
