ASBG submission is in response to the Review of the National Pollutant Inventory – Discussion Paper.  A number of key recommendations were made including:

• Better explanations of contextual nature of each pollutant with diffuse and natural sources,
• Publishing of the error ranges of reported substance emissions to permit scientifically valid conclusions to be made
• Updating of the estimation technique manuals on an ongoing basis
• Move to a two year reporting period with 50% of facilities reporting each year to free up resources
• Diffuse sources be standardised and aligned across all jurisdictions
• Collected advisory information published if a 25% difference occurs from the last emission amount

ASBG also answered the 50 questions in the review paper with further clarification of our position.
