5.4.2 Movement of stock Movement or partial harvest of the stock may be considered as a temporary measure to reduce pressures on water or sediment quality, and to allow time for sediment and water quality indicators to comply with the specified levels of ecological protection. 5.4.3 Reduction of stocking densities Reduction of stocking density through splitting cages and selective harvest may be implemented as a temporary measure to reduce pressures on water or sediment quality, and to allow time for sediment and water quality indicators to comply with the specified levels of ecological protection. 5.4.4 Reduction of feed input rates Reduction of feed input rates may be implemented as a temporary measure to reduce pressures on water or sediment quality, and to allow time for sediment and water quality indicators to comply with the specified levels of ecological protection. 5.5 Timelines for remedying the source of an exceedance In the event that an EQG trigger level is exceeded, the proponent will report the matter to the DoF and the OEPA within one working day of determining that this has occurred, and initiate investigation against the EQS as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that an EQS is exceeded, the proponent will report the matter to the DoF and the OEPA within one working day of determining that this has occurred and will commence management to (i) reduce the effect and/or mitigate the source of the contaminants, and (ii) to restore environmental quality within the specified level of ecological protection. During the management phase, MPA will continue to monitor the impacted sites to measure the status of the recovery process. The level of recovery following an exceedance will be reported in the Proponents Annual Compliance Reports. Studies conducted in Tasmania found that physical chemical parameters in sediments beneath sea-cages recovered within two years of fallowing (Crawford 2003). 44 Oceanica: Marine Produce Australia: Cone Bay Barramundi Aquaculture, Environmental Monitoring & Management Plan
6. Auditing & EMMP review 6.1 Internal auditing MPA will conduct regular internal audits to ensure each of the components of the EMMP have been implemented and the results reported annually. 6.2 EMMP review The EMMP will be reviewed two years following implementation, or earlier as required. The purpose of the review will be to assess the extent to which the EMMP and the existing EQC are appropriate. New EQC, and/or monitoring criteria and schedules may be developed in consultation with the OEPA.
