5.      Information requested

        In assessing your application for an environmentally relevant activity, the Department of
        Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP)is required to comply with the regulatory requirements in
        Part 2 of the Environmental Protection Regulation 2008. In doing so, EHP must carry out an
        environmental objective assessment against the environmental objective and performance outcomes
        in Schedule 5, part 3, tables 1 and 2. EHP has reviewed the information submitted with the

        application and is unable to complete this assessment based upon the information provided.

        As a minimum, the following must be addressed or the application may be refused:

            .    Environmental values associated with the site and adjacent lands have not been fully
                 identified. All environmental values on and adjacent to the area of the site proposed to be
                 used for aquaculture must be described. For this particular activity, surface water and

                 groundwater values are essential.
            .    It is not clear how the activity will be managed to ensure environmental values of surface

                 waters and groundwater will be protected. This is particularly important in relation to pond
                 construction and management.

            .    There is no information on how the activity will be managed to protect the environmental

                 values of air or the acoustic environment. Any potential impacts on air or the acoustic
                 environment must be identified and information on how these impacts will be minimised
                 and/or managed must also be provided.

            .    There is no information in relation to any waste generated by the proposed activity and how

                 this waste will be minimised and managed. This must be provided.

            .    There is no information in relation to any chemicals associated with the proposed
                                                                                                                  of
                 aquaculture activity. If chemicals will be handled or stored on site, please provide details
                 how they will be managed to minimise impacts on environmental values.




        To assist you in providing the required information, please refer to Part 2 and Schedule 5 of the
         Environmental Protection Regulation 2008 and the Queensland Government’s Business and

        Industry Portal at http://www.business.gld.gov.au/business/running/environment/licences-permits
        which provides technical information requirements for an application.
