Biological data from the Environmental Impact Assessment of the Davis Sewage Outfall
Entry ID: DAVIS_STP_Biota

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: Untreated, macerated wastewater effluent has been discharged to the sea at Davis Station since 2005, when the old wastewater treatment infrastructure was removed. This environmental assessment was instigated to guide the choice of the most suitable wastewater treatment facility at Davis. The assessment will support decisions that enable Australia to meet the standards set for the discharge of ... View entire text

Quality The Spot (10 metre resolution) data were mapped from the following scenes:

- SPOT Scene 246 - 491 (March 13 1988)
- SPOT Scene 246 - 491 (March 15 1988)

All mapping work was captured using a Zeiss P2 analytical stereo plotter and Microstation version 5 on a Universal Transverse Mercator grid.
