		Hazelwood Power operates a large power station in the Latrobe Valley, Victoria, and is principally owned by International Power of the UK.
		The project's assets will include: ash in Hazelwood's tailing ponds; ash to be produced at Hazelwood Power Station in the future; leased land adjacent to the power station; the existing tailings system facilities; and the supply of electricity at a cost, which reflects the benefit of being located adjacent to the Hazelwood power station.
		Initial indications are that the Hazelwood ash in the tailings ponds will have magnesium content of between 8% and 12%.

	29/10/2003 -- AUSTRALIA: Pollution fear on plan to extend life of power station
		Energy Minister Theo Theophanous is considering a proposal to give Hazelwood power station near Morwell an extra 90 million tonnes of coal - extending its life by five years to 2029.
		Plans to extend the life of Victoria's dirtiest power station will mean a massive boost to the state's greenhouse gas emissions - the equivalent of putting 20 million extra cars on the road, an environment group has warned.
		Hazelwood's owner, International Power Hazelwood, is planning to expand on two fronts.

	GHD – Clients People Performance – Industry leader brings innovation to the LaTrobe Valley
		A system of thickened ash pumping and disposal, which was first applied at a Queensland power station, is now being introduced in Victoria& Latrobe Valley.
		Traditional coal-fired power stations produce large amounts of ash, the bulk of which is collected in hoppers at the bottom of precipitators, sluiced into a pit and then pumped as a mixture of 95 per cent water into an ash dam.
		The Hazelwood project is due to be commissioned in 2005, and the team is now assessing the system's direct application for other mines in the Latrobe Valley.
