An animal blood processing plant in Maryborough has applied to Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) for a development licence.
The application is for a new wastewater treatment plant and box dryer at the existing SONAC Australia (Pty Ltd) rendering plant on Maryborough-Dunolly Rd.
EPA will assess the SONAC application for any impacts to the environment including noise, odour, dust or water contamination issues.
If accepted the wastewater treatment plant would treat an average 13 kilolitres an hour. Upgrades to the plant would enable an increase in production capacity, with recycled water to be produced for reuse onsite and discharged to trade waste.
The proposal is stage one of a projected two stage upgrade.
