2. Within the zone of High Ecological protection (shown in Figure 1 of schedule 1), the proponent shall achieve median results no greater than the 80 th percentile and no less than the 20 th percentile (no less than 60% saturation of dissolved oxygen) guideline ‘trigger’ levels of normal distribution for the parameters from the reference sites (Table 2 of schedule 1). 3. Within the Zone of Maximum Ecological Protection (shown in Figure 1 of schedule 1), the proponent shall detect no changes from the normal distribution of the reference sites (Table 2 of schedule 1) for the parameters. 5-4 In the event that a guideline “trigger” level referred to in condition 5-3 is exceeded, the proponent shall report the matter to the Department of Environment and Conservation within one working day of determining that this has occurred, and the proponent shall: i. initiate an investigation against the EQS into the cause of the exceedance in accordance with the framework developed in the State Water Quality Management Strategy No. 6: Implementation Framework for Western Australia for the Australian and New Zealand Guidelines for Fresh and Marine Water Quality and Water Quality Monitoring and Reporting (Government of Western Australia, Report no. SWQ6), to the requirements of the Department of Environment and Conservation and the Department of Fisheries; and ii. Specify required timeframes for determining and subsequently remedying the source of exceedance. 5-5 In the event that an environmental quality standard referred to in condition 5-2 is exceeded, the proponent shall report the matter to the Department of Environment and Conservation within one working day of determining that this has occurred, the proponent shall: i. initiate a management response to determine the source and remedy the exceedance in accordance with the implementation framework for the National Water Quality Management Strategy, to the requirements of the Department of Environment and Conservation and the Department of Fisheries; and ii. Specify required timeframes for determining and subsequently remedying the source of exceedance. Notes 1. Where a condition states “on advice of the Environmental Protection Authority”, the Environmental Protection Authority will provide that advice to the Department of Environment and Conservation for the preparation of written notice to the proponent. 4
2. The Environmental Protection Authority may seek advice from other agencies or organisations, as required, in order to provide its advice to the Department of Environment and Conservation. 3. The Minister for Environment will determine any dispute between the proponent and the Environmental Protection Authority or the Department of Environment and Conservation over the fulfilment of the requirements of the conditions, with input from the Department of Fisheries. 4. The proponent is required to apply for a Works Approval and Licence for this project under the provisions of Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. Subsequently, should aquaculture be deregulated from Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986, this requirement would be superseded. 5. Compliance reporting will be undertaken in accordance with the Environmental Code of Practice for the Management of Western Australia’s Marine Finfish Aquaculture Industry (2009) (a collaborative project between the Department of Fisheries, the Department of Environment and Conservation and industry).
