Will the Cataract Gorge and Lake Trevallyn be affected?
Minimum environmental flows through the Cataract Gorge in summer will be maintained at current levels. The water taken from Lake Trevallyn would have produced about 0.8 megawatts of electricity; its diversion to the pulp mill will enable the average production of at least 60 Mw of surplus electricity for sale into the Tasmanian Electricity Grid.
