Licence Condition
During the licensee’s next discharge under the Hunter River Salinity Trading Scheme (HRSTS) the licensee must monitor salinity levels at least at the following location, provided it is safe to do so: at the nearest downstream irrigation off-take point. As far as practicable it should be timed to coincide with the peak flow of discharge water. The results of this monitoring must be reported to the EPA's Manager Hunter Region within 30 days of being collected. The report should detail the exact location, time and method of monitoring. Note: A handheld salinity probe is considered an adequate method of undertaking the monitoring. This monitoring can be carried out in conjunction with other discharging participants in the HRSTS.
The licensee must install and maintain a weighbridge to record the amount of all waste and materials that are transported into and out of the facility within 6 months of the issue date of this licence.
The weighbridge must be designed and operated to comply with the requirements of clause 36 of the Protection of the Environment Operations (Waste) Regulation 2014 (“Waste Regulation”).
Within 30 days of installing the weighbridge, provide the following information to the EPA: a) A plan of the waste facility indicating the proposed vehicle flow controls, including the entry and exit points where waste is transported into and out of the waste facility. b) Documentation demonstrating that the weighbridge has related software that records quantities of waste and materials in any form and manner specified in the Waste Levy Guidelines. c) Documentation that the weighbridge has been verified in accordance with the Commonwealth National Measurement Act 1960.
