Start date: 01 Jul 2024
 
Licence Condition
Pollution Study 307.1: Development of a wet weather overflow prioritisation methodology for the purpose of producing a baseline prioritisation profile - Improvement period 2024 - 2028 a) The objective of this Pollution Study is the development and implementation of a plan (the “Improvement Plan”) to develop a refined wet weather overflow prioritisation methodology (the “Refined Methodology”), for use in the wet weather overflow improvement period 2024 – 2028. The intent of the Improvement Plan is to resolve technical issues and uncertainties (i.e. limitations and assumptions) with the current prioritisation methodology through the identification, development and use of new and improved tools and information to achieve a Refined Methodology. b) The licensee must develop a draft Improvement Plan to meet: i. the objective stated in a) and ii. the timeframe required to meet f). c) The licensee must submit the draft Improvement Plan to the EPA within 16 weeks of this Pollution Study being issued. d) No longer applicable e) The licensee must host progress workshops with the EPA throughout the implementation of the Improvement Plan at a frequency of no less than twice per year. f) The licensee must implement the Improvement Plan and submit a draft Refined Methodology to the EPA by 30 November 2021. g) The licensee must finalise the Refined Methodology by addressing any written comments provided by the EPA and resubmit it to the EPA for approval within eight weeks of receiving such comments.
Pollution Study 307.2: Development of a refined wet weather overflow prioritisation methodology for the purpose of producing a prioritisation list - Improvement period 2030 – 2035 a) The objective of this Pollution Study is to require the Licensee to develop a refined wet weather overflow prioritisation methodology (the “Refined Methodology”) for use across the Licensee’s reticulation systems the subject of environment protection licences 372, 378, 1688, and 1728 in the wet weather overflow improvement period 2030 – 2035. The intent is for the Licensee to resolve technical issues and uncertainties (i.e. limitations and assumptions) with the current prioritisation methodology through the identification, development and use of new and improved tools and information to achieve the Refined Methodology. b) The licensee must develop and submit in writing to the EPA by 30 June 2027 a draft Refined Methodology. c) The licensee must finalise the Refined Methodology by addressing any written comments provided by the EPA and resubmit it to the EPA in writing within eight weeks of receiving such comments. d) The licensee must host progress workshops with the EPA throughout the development of the Refined Methodology at a frequency of no less than twice per year.
