Markham Valley Biomass Ltd

Hydrobiology undertook a Hydrology and Sediment Transport Baseline and Impact Assessment for the proposed PNG Biomass Markham Valley Project (‘the Project’), which is to be located on the northern floodplain of the Markham River in Morobe Province, between the Leron River to the west and the Erap River to the east. The Project area included parts of the Leron, Erap, Rumu, and Maralumi River sub-catchments of the Markham River. The purpose of this study was to understand the existing hydrology and sediment transport conditions, and morphological characteristics, and to assess potential impacts of the Project on these conditions. The study focussed on issues of relevance to the Project, and informed the requirements of the Environmental Assessment (EA).
