load on the hydro power system, so that effectively some wind energy can be stored in Hydro Tasmania's long-term water storages which include Lake Burbury. 4. Improving Environmental Management of Hydropower Plants The King River Power Development was the first hydro-power scheme in Australia to have an Environmental Management Plan influencing planning and construction. Along with the Environmental Committee formed for its implementation, it ensured that unnecessary impacts were avoided and unavoidable ones were minimised and treated. The Plan dealt with minimisation of visual impacts, reduction of heavy metal inflows from historical use of the catchment, significant revegetation and rehabilitation of areas disturbed by construction activities, and a reservoir logging program for improved visual amenity and safer recreational boat use. With the filling of Lake Burbury, there were concerns about heavy metal contamination from sources in the catchment. A water quality monitoring program for the lake was implemented to address these concerns and to monitor the effectiveness of ameliorative measures implemented during the construction phase. This program included ongoing water, soil and sediment sampling; lake productivity measurements; and investigations into aspects of the fishery such as heavy metal levels in trout, fish distribution within the lake, growth rates, physiological condition and reproductive success of the fish. After five years it was established that there were no sig nificant problems with copper toxicity or the development of the Lake Burbury fishery. Lake Burbury presently supports a successful recreational trout fishery, and Hydro Tasmania now conducts copper surveys on a routine basis to ensure these conditions do not deteriorate. When water quality problems downstream of the John Butters Power Station became apparent after commissioning, Hydro Tasmania investigated appropriate mitigation measures and implemented a mitigation strategy (air injection). This is now utilised at appropriate times. Continuous water quality monitoring is now conducted to detect water quality problems so that timely ameliorative measures can be implemented. From experience gained during the King River Power Development, Hydro Tasmania has gone on to develop organisation-wide policies and strategies for environmental management of its activities. These are continually being revised, updated and improved. Hydro Tasmania's environmental policy is in the public domain; its environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001 and externally audited twice a year. Hydro Tasmania now has a well-resourced Environmental Services department, which is integrally involved in the environmental management of Hydro Tasmania’s assets and developments. Hydro Tasmania is licensed under the Water Management Act 2000, which requires regular aquatic monitoring and reporting. The Aquatic Environment Program within Environmental Services achieves this through a comprehensive monitoring program of the waterways managed by Hydro Tasmania. Importantly, this program also allows strategic and pro-active investigation of issues such as fish migration and environmental flow allocation. The Water Management Review process is also co-ordinated by the aquatic program. It allows not only immediate stakeholders but also the wider community to have input into development of sustainable water management plans, and enables the community to highlight areas of concern that may require further investigation. The Aquatic Environment Program has received a ministerial award for environmental excellence (see Supplementary Documentation). Hydro Tasmania is determined to meet or exceed its legal, environmental and social responsibilities, and has a track record of doing so.
