4.3 Relevant Legislation

The primary legislation relevant to this EIMP is the Environmental Protection Act 1994
(EP Act). The EP Act protects environmental values through development and
implementation of environmental protection policies and regulates environmentally
relevant activities prescribed in the Environmental Protection Regulation 1998.

The Environmental Protection (Water) Policy 1997 (EPP Water) ensures protection of
environmental values from activities that may result in the release of contaminants to
waterways or stormwater drains.

4.4 Program and Contractual Obligations

The EIMP covers the operation phase of the works. This is defined as the period from
the commencement of sewage treatment and disposal works to the substantial
completion of the sewage treatment and disposal works. The Principal is generally
responsible for ensuring that the provisions of the EIMP are met, with the exception of
certain planning or design issues, which are explicitly noted throughout the EIMP as
being the responsibility of the Contractor or the Consultant.

The Principal shall ensure that all persons who are to be employed or sub-contracted
for the works shall be trained as to their individual responsibilities as set out in this
EIMP and as provided by the Act, including the following.

General Environmental Duty — whereby a person in the performance of their duties
shall not do so in a manner which will cause, or is likely to cause, environmental harm
unless the person takes all reasonable and practical measures to prevent or minimise
the harm.

Duty to Notify Environmental Harm — whereby if a person in the performance of their
duties becomes aware that serious or material environmental harm is caused or
threatened, then the person must contact the Contractor whereupon the Contractor
must immediately notify the Principal and/or the EPA.

Compliance with the EIMP — whereby a person in the performance of their duties
shall do so in a manner that ensures that the provisions of this EIMP are complied with.

4.5 Non-Compliance and Corrective Action Requirements

The Principal shall assume responsibility for implementation of this EIMP. Where the
Principal becomes aware of a site or operational condition that does not comply with
stated performance indicator(s) of this EIMP, there is a requirement for corrective
action. A Corrective Action Request (“CAR”) form is to be completed and authorised
where appropriate in general compliance with the example CAR form provided in
Appendix A of this EIMP. The Principal is also required to maintain a register of CARs,
which shall demonstrate that appropriate actions have been completed within a
suitable timeframe.

Any CAR registered in accordance with this EIMP shall be provided to the Principal,
any State or Commonwealth Government Department, any statutory authority or other
person, consensually or as lawfully required.
