ASBG has responded to the EPA's Pollution Incident Response Management Plans (PIRMP): Proposed Amendments Under the POEO (General) Regulation 2009.Key issues addressed include:
- Poor consultation and the by-passing of the RIS process for this regulation
- Requirement to publicise PIRMPs on company websites is opposed for security, privacy and commercial in confidence reasons.
- Testing requirements for PIRMPs needs to be clarified and permit simulations and desktop studies where appropriate.
PIRMPs are only one of a number of new changes attached to the POE Amendment Legislation Act 2011. Website lodgement of monitoring data is the next issue for public consultation.
