126        Requirements for site-specific applications—CSG
           activities
          (1)   A site-specific application for a CSG activity must also state
                the following—
                (a)   the quantity of CSG water the applicant reasonably
                      expects will be generated in connection with carrying
                      out each relevant CSG activity;
                (b)   the flow rate at which the applicant reasonably expects
                      the water will be generated;
                (c)   the quality of the water, including changes in the water
                      quality the applicant reasonably expects will happen

                (d)   the proposed management of the water including, for
                      example, the use, treatment, storage or disposal of the

                (e)   the measurable criteria (the management criteria)
                      against which the applicant will monitor and assess the
                      effectiveness of the management of the water, including,
                      for example, criteria for each of the following—
                      (i)    the quantity and quality of the water used, treated,

                            generated from the management of the water;
                (f)   the action proposed to be taken if any of the
                      management criteria are not complied with, to ensure
                      the criteria will be able to be complied with in the
                      future.
          (2)   The proposed management of the water can not provide for
                using a CSG evaporation dam in connection with carrying out
                a relevant CSG activity unless—
                (a)   the application includes an evaluation of—
