- The table shows only the initial credit holders in the scheme and credit holders may vary over time. To find out details of current credit holders, visit the online credit register.
- Although some of the participants referred to above were not initially issued with credits, they have been able to participate in trading.
- Some credits were initially kept by the EPA as a transitional mechanism. All residual credits were allocated during 2003, so all 1000 credits are held by participants.
Administrative roles
River monitoring, modelling and the river register of discharge opportunities into the river are provided by the Services Coordinator, WaterNSW.
Licensing and regulation, and the online credit register and exchange facility are provided by the Environment Protection Authority.
Scheme management
The Hunter River Salinity Trading Scheme Operations Committee considers issues in relation to the day-to-day operation of the scheme.
The cost of administering the scheme is shared equally between credit holders and discharge licence holders. People other than licensees are also able to hold credits.
Reporting
Scheme participants must provide an annual record of saline water discharges (DOCX 39KB) under the scheme to the EPA.
