Start date:

Licence Condition
The objective of the wet weather overflow abatement pollution reduction program (PRP) is to require investigations, works and activities to be undertaken to achieve and maintain compliance with the wet weather overflow limit required by condition L7.2 of the North Richmond sewage treatment system (STS) licence.
By 1 July 2026 the licensee must undertake all works and actions necessary to return the STS to compliance with the wet weather overflow limit of 10 overflows per 10 years as required by condition L7.2 of this licence.
For the purposes of condition U1.2, the frequency of overflows for the reporting period is to be determined using the sewer system hydraulic model required by conditions at L7.1 with 10 year rainfall time series data.
Within three months after the completion date specified in U1.2, the licensee must provide a statement of compliance to the EPA addressing whether the wet weather overflow limit specified by condition L7.2 was achieved.
