ASBG was invited to comment on the draft EPA’s Licensing Guidelines: Environmental Risk Levels, an unreleased document. This document was asked for by ASBG for the EPA to prepare. Put simply it is a a document to reward low risk level licence holders by the use of more self regulation on the Environment Protection Licences (EPL). Overall the guidelines are a reasonable attempt to assist low risk licence holders, but could have provided more flexibility especially in monitoring conditions for these licence holders. Also attached is the published EPA ERL Guidelines.
