f?d$v Dea~ws
Thank you for submitting a revised interim program under section 13(6A) of the Moreton Resource Operations Plan (the ROP) outlining a proposal tei make releases from Wivenhoe Dam (the dam) to maintain a 75% full sUpply level for the remainder of the 2011 summer season (between 20 February 2D11 and 31 Miirch 2011).
I advise that I have approved the subrilittedprogram under Section 13 (7) (a) of the ROP. I acknowledge that Seqwater will put suitable communications arrangements in place prior to and during the 'period when releases are being made under the interim program. I also note that the releases will be monitored and managed by Seq water through suitably qualified personnel.
I also remind you that releases made under the interim program must be in accordance with other provisions of the Moreton ROP, including section 74, which states that the rate of release of water from the dam must occur to minimise the Ciccurrence of adverse environmental impacts, such as bank slumpiMg,
Should you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me on telephone ' • Yours sincerely
John Bradley Director-General

Seq water submitted an Interim Program for the Moreton ROP to DERM in May 2010, as required under s13 of the ROP. After consultation with and at the request of DERM, an amended Interim Program was submitted to DERM on 27 August 2010. A delegate ofthe Chief Executive approved Seqwater's 27 August 2010 Interim Program on 3 December 2010.
On 14 February 2011, the ROP was amended to permit a Resource Operations licence Holder to submit a revised program.
Under Section 6A of the ROP, this Revised Interim Program is now submitted to DERM for approval to facilitate the temporary reduction of the water storage level at Wivenhoe Dam to temporarily increase the flood mitigation capacity of the dam . •
