Activity<br />

Description<br />

Flaring occurs during<br />

emergencies <strong>and</strong><br />

blowdowns.<br />

No new power<br />

generation equipment<br />

will be installed <strong>and</strong> it is<br />

not anticipated that<br />

there will be no increase<br />

in fuel gas usage.<br />

Potential effects <strong>and</strong> significance of potential<br />

impacts<br />

Flaring may contribute to climate change (CH4,<br />

CO2), acidification effects (SOx, NOx) <strong>and</strong> potential<br />

localised smog formation (VOC, NOx <strong>and</strong><br />

particulates).<br />

Mitigation of impacts <strong>and</strong><br />

actions to address<br />

Compliance with Flaring<br />

Consent. Minimum start<br />
