Notice to amend a management order

(Section 44 of the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997)

Notice Number 20174430; Area Number 3183

Background

The land to which this notice applies, together with other lands, was declared as “significantly contaminated land” (declaration No. 21089) and is the subject of a management order (order No. 20131407) issued by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA). The management order directs the recipient of the order to implement works that will prevent further offsite migration of arsenic in groundwater and to ensure the remediation works are implemented and commissioned by 31 December 2017. 

Amendment of declaration and completion of management order

A request has been made by the recipient of the management order to amend the milestone dates for implementation and commissioning of remediation works due to delays in gaining planning approval from the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) which is required to implement the remediation works.  The current dates and requested new dates are set out in the tables below:
