Permit Environmental authority EPPROO745013 Additional information for applicants Environmentally relevant activities The description of any environmentally relevant activity (ERA) for which an environmental authority is issued is a restatement of the ERA as defined by legislation at the time the approval is issued. Where there is any inconsistency between that description of an ERA and the conditions stated by an environmental authority as to the scale, intensity or manner of carrying out an ERA, then the conditions prevail to the extent of the inconsistency. An environmental authority authorises the carrying out of an ERA and does not authorise any environmental harm unless a condition stated by the authority specifically authorises environmental harm. A person carrying out an ERA must also be a registered suitable operator under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 (EP Act). Contaminated land {t is a requirement of the EP Act that if an owner or occupier of land becomes aware a notifiable activity (as defined in Schedule 3 and Schedule 4) is being carried out on the land, or that the land has been, or is being, contaminated by a hazardous contaminant, the owner or occupier must, within 22 business days after becoming so aware, give written notice to the chief executive. fy ig Pa = He 23 January 2015 | Jslgnature “ij Date a ta Justin Cagney Enquiries: Environmental Protection Act 1994 Protection PO Box 3028 EMERALD QLD 4720 Phone: (07) 4987 9320 Email: CRMining@ehp.qld.gov.au ns www.ehp.qid.gov.au ABN 46 640 294 485
