                                                                                                                               Notice
                                                                                     Duty to notify of environmental harm

                  and report the matter. Reporting the matter through the pollution hotline allows the administering authority
                  to take necessary measures to prevent further harm and to mitigate the effects of an incident or event.

                  In addition to notifying the administering authority, and where that is not the relevant local government, it is
                  good practice to notify the local government for the area where the event has occurred.
