While Defence recommends that owners or occupiers of and workers and contractors ernployed on ,
either category of potentially UXO-affected land need to be aware of the procedure if a suspect ont
object i i$ found, it also advises that all land usage and developmient of sites within the ‘slight’ °
category should continué without further UXO ‘investigation or remediation.

Hence, the EPA has no requirement or recommendation further to Defence’s website advice in
regard to the land usage of this site. No statutory requirement exists for applications to develop
‘slight’ sités to be referred to the EPA for either concurrence or advice in regard to UXO.
