- A1-1
In carrying out the environmentally relevant activities you must take all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent and/or minimise the likelihood of environmental harm being caused. Any environmentally relevant activity, that, if carried out incompetently, or negligently, may cause environmental harm, in a manner that could have been prevented, shall be carried out in a proper manner in accordance with the conditions of this environmental authority1. Financial Assurance
- A2-1
Provide a financial assurance2 in the amount and form required by the administering authority prior to the commencement of activities proposed under this environmental authority.
- A2-2
The financial assurance is to remain in force until the administering authority is satisfied that no claim on the assurance is likely3. Maintenance of Measures, Plant and Equipment
- A3-1
The holder must: Records a) take all control measures and install plant and equipment necessary to ensure compliance with the conditions of this environmental authority; and b) maintain such control measures, plant and equipment in a proper condition; and c) operate such control measures, plant and equipment in a proper manner. 1 NOTE: This approval authorises the environmentally relevant activity. It does not authorise environmental harm unless a condition contained within this approval explicitly authorises that harm. Where there is no condition or the approval is silent on a matter, the lack of a condition or silence shall not be construed as authorising harm. 2 NOTE: The calculation of financial assurance for condition (A2-1) must be in accordance with the document "Guideline - Financial assurance under the Environmental Protection Act 1994" and may include a performance discount. The amount is defined as the maximum total rehabilitation cost for complete rehabilitation of all disturbed areas, which may vary on an annual basis due to progressive rehabilitation. The amount required for the financial assurance must be the highest Total Rehabilitation Cost calculated for any year of the Plan of Operations and calculated using the formula: (Financial Assurance = Highest Total Annual Rehabilitation Cost x Percentage Required). 3 NOTE: Where progressive rehabilitation is completed and acceptable to the administering authority, progressive reductions to the amount of financial assurance will be applicable where rehabilitation has been completed in accordance with the acceptance criteria defined within this environmental authority _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Permit Environmental authority EPML00912113
