This Introduction is not part of the Licence conditions.
DER's industry licensing role The Department of Environment Regulation (DER) is a government department for the state of Western Australia in the portfolio of the Minister for Environment. DER's purpose is to advise on and implement strategies for a healthy environment for the benefit of all current and future Western Australians.
DER has responsibilities under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (the Act) for the licensing of prescribed premises. Through this process DER works with the business owners, community, consultants, industry and other representatives to prevent, control and abate pollution and environmental harm to conserve and protect the environment. DER also monitors and audits compliance with works approvals and licence conditions, takes enforcement action as appropriate and develops and implements licensing and industry regulation policy.
Licence requirements This Licence is issued under Part V of the Act. Conditions contained within the Licence relate to the prevention, reduction or control of emissions and discharges to the environment and to the monitoring and reporting of them.
Where other statutory instruments impose obligations on the Premises/Licensee the intention is not to replicate them in the licence conditions. You should therefore ensure that you are aware of all your statutory obligations under the Act and any other statutory instrument. Legislation can be accessed through the State Law Publisher website using the following link: http://wvvw.s1 wa. qov. au/leo is lation/statutes. nsf/defau It. htm I
For your Premises relevant statutory instruments include but are not limited to obligations under the:
• Environmental Protection (Unauthorised Discharges) Regulations 2004 — these Regulations make it an offence to discharge certain materials such as contaminated stormwater into the environment other than in the circumstances set out in the Regulations.
• Environmental Protection (Controlled Waste) Regulations 2004 - these Regulations place obligations on you if you produce, accept, transport or dispose of controlled waste.
• Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997— these Regulations require noise emissions from the Premises to comply with the assigned noise levels set out in the Regulations.

You must comply with your licence. Non-compliance with your licence is an offence and strict penalties exist for those who do not comply.
Licence holders are also reminded of the requirements of section 53 of the Act which places restrictions on making certain changes to prescribed premises unless the changes are in accordance with a works approval, licence, closure notice or environmental protection notice.
Licence fees If you have a licence that is issued for more than one year, you are required to pay an annual licence fee prior to the anniversary date of issue of your licence. Non payment of annual licence fees will result in your licence ceasing to have effect meaning that it will no longer be valid and you will need to apply for a new licence for your Premises.
Ministerial conditions If your Premises has been assessed under Part IV of the Act you may have had conditions imposed by the Minister for Environment. You are required to comply with any conditions imposed by the Minister.
Premises description and Licence summary Kwinana power station (KPS) is located in an area zoned as "general industry" under the Town of Kwinana's Town Planning Scheme No. 2. Cockburn Sound, which is subject to the State Environmental (Cockburn Sound) Policy 2005, is located to the west of the Premises and Alcoa's Kwinana Alumina Refinery is located to the north. Other surrounding land uses include heavy industry and the Kwinana industrial area. The nearest residential area is located approximately 1km east and the Naval Base Holiday Village is located approximately 2km north of KPS.
KPS is a mid merit power station and as such rarely runs at full capacity outside the summer peak period between November and March. KPS emits emissions to air via five discharge stacks; Stage A, Stage C, Gas Turbine KWGT1, and HEGTs KWGT2 and KWGT3. Boiler Units 1 and 2 feed the Stage A stack, Boiler Units 5 and 6 feed the Stage C stack and the Gas Turbines each have a single source emission point. Stage A, the oldest part of KPS, was put on Care and Maintenance in October 2011 and was decommissioned in 2013. Stage C- Unit 5 was shut down on 30 June 2014 and Unit 6 is scheduled to be decommissioned in April 2015. There are 7 electricity generating units at KPS. Each unit's electricity generating and fuel burning capabilities are detailed below. Each stage is serviced by one exhaust stack.
Production design capacities of different units at Kwinana Power Station UNIT CAPACITY (MWe) FUEL Stage A —Unit 1 120 Coal, or Gas Stage A — Unit 2 120 Coal, or Gas Stage C — Unit 5 200 Coal, Gas or Low sulfur distillate Stage C — Unit 6 200 Coal, Gas or Low sulfur distillate KWGT1 - Gas Turbine 20 Gas or Low sulfur distillate KWGT2 — HEGT1 100 Gas or Ultra Low sulfur distillate KWGT3 — HEGT2 100 Gas or Ultra Low sulfur distillate
Main air emissions from operation of the power station include nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and particulates. Each coal-fired boiler at KPS has two electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) followed by an optical density (opacity) meter. The fly ash accumulated on ESP plates is removed, slurried and pumped off site through a pipeline to Perron Quarry, which holds licence L4193/1989/11. KPS has an ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management System.
KPS is located within the area regulated under the Environmental Protection (Kwinana) (Atmospheric Wastes) Regulations 1992 and the Environmental Protection (Kwinana) (Atmospheric Waste) Policy 1999 (EPP). The EPP prescribes stack SO2 emission limit for the KPS. Synergy is also required to undertake ambient air monitoring as per the requirements of the EPP.

1 Purpose of this Document
This decision document explains how DER has assessed and determined the application and provides a record of DER's decision-making process and how relevant factors have been taken into account. Stakeholders should note that this document is limited to DER's assessment and decision making under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. Other approvals may be required for the proposal, and it is the proponent's responsibility to ensure they have all relevant approvals for their Premises.
Works approval and licence conditions DER has three types of conditions that may be imposed on works approvals and licences. They are as follows;
Standard conditions (SC)
DER has standard conditions that are imposed on all works approvals and licences regardless of the activities undertaken on the Premises and the information provided in the application. These are included as the following conditions on works approvals and licences:
Works approval conditions: 1.1.1-1.1.4, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 5.1.1 and 5.1.2.
Licence conditions: 1.1.1-1.1.4, 1.2.1-1.2.4, 5.1.1-5.1.4 and 5.2.1.
For such conditions, justification within the Decision Document is not provided.
Optional standard conditions (OSC)
In the interests of regulatory consistency DER has a set of optional standard conditions that can be imposed on works approvals and licences. DER will include optional standard conditions as necessary, and are likely to constitute the majority of conditions in any licence. The inclusion of any optional standard conditions is justified in Section 4 of this document.
Non standard conditions (NSC)
Where the proposed activities require conditions outside the standard conditions suite DER will impose one or more non-standard conditions. These include both premises and sector specific conditions, and are likely to occur within few licences. Where used, justification for the application of these conditions will be included in Section 4.

3 Executive summary of proposal and assessment
The Electricity Generation and Retail Corporation (T/A Synergy) is a State Government trading enterprise established under the Electricity Corporation Act 2005. The Kwinana Power Station (KPS) is a mid-merit plant with the ability to burn coal, natural gas and low sulfur distillate to generate up to 860MWe of electricity for customers in the South West Interconnected System. The power station is rarely run at full capacity outside the summer peak period between • November and March. The power station emits to air through five significant discharge stacks which include Stage A, Stage C, Gas Turbine KWGT1, and the two High Efficiency gas Turbines (HEGTs) KWGT2 and KWGT3. Boiler Units 1 and 2 feed the Stage A stack, Boiler Units 5 and 6 feed the Stage C stack and the Gas Turbines each have a single source emission point. Stage A, the oldest part of KPS, was put on Care and Maintenance in October 2011 and was decommissioned in 2013. Stage C- Unit 5 was shut down on 30 June 2014 and Unit 6 is scheduled to be decommissioned in April 2015. KPS is situated in the Kwinana Industrial Strip, located approximately 40km south of Perth. Surrounding land uses include heavy industry including other electricity generating facilities such as Cockburn power station (also owned by Synergy) and the NewGen power sttaion. Alcoa Alumina Refinery is located to the north of the premises, the Desalination Plant to the south and BGC Cement is located on the south east boundary. Cockburn Sound, which is subject to the State Environmental (Cockburn Sound) Policy 2005, is directly west of the premises. All industry located in the Kwinana Industrial Area is subject to the Environmental Protection (Kwinana) (Atmospheric Wastes) Policy 1992 (EPP). The nearest residential area is located approximately 3.5km south east and the Naval Base Holiday Village is located approximately 2km north of KPS. The surface geology of the Kwinana area is comprised of highly permeable Safety Bay Sand to a depth of 15-19m. Depth to groundwater at KPS is 3-5m within the Safety Bay Sand formation and flow is west-northwest before discharging to Cockburn Sound. Current groundwater quality is moderate and lies within the salinity range of 500-1000mg/L.
Key air emissions from operation of the power station include nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and particulates. Each coal-fired boiler at KPS has two electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) to reduce particulate emissions, which are measured in the stack by an optical density (opacity) meter. The fly ash accumulated on ESP plates is removed, slurried and pumped off site through a pipeline to Perron Quarry, which holds licence L4193/1989/11. The EPP prescribes stack SO2 emission limit for the KPS to be implemented by licence conditions. Synergy is also required to undertake ambient air monitoring by licenence conditions to implement the requirements of the EPP. Bottom ash is stored in ash storage dams on the Premises prior to final disposal at Perron Quarry.
This partial Decision Document summarises the change of monitoring of NOx emissions the high efficiency gas turbines (HEGT) from Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) to Predictive Emissions Monitoring Systems (PEMS). As part of this ammendment, DER has not re-assessed the acceptability or impacts of emissions and discharges from the Premises or re-visited any existing emission control levels. No changes to the conditions on the previous licence have been made with the exception of conditions of the licence pertaining to CEMS and PEMS.

DECISION TABLE
Works Condition OSC Justification (including risk description & decision methodology where Reference Approval / number or relevant) documents Licence W = Works Approval NSC section L= Licence General provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 Emissions N/A Descriptive and numeric limits have been set through section 2.2 and 2.3 of the N/A general licence. OSC regarding recording and investigation of exceedances of limits or targets has been included. Point source L2.2.4 OSC Before this amendment the licence has prescribed CEMS monitoring of the NOx emissions to L3.2.2 emissions, however this approach has not been successful for this site. Synergy air including L3.2.4 proposed replacing the CEMS with PEMS as a solution to this problem and in monitoring the interim have been doing weekly stack testing to back up the CEMS.
Synergy has procurred a Predictive Emissions Monitoring System (PEMS) to monitor air emissions from the two High Efficiency Gas Turbines (HEGTs) on the Premises which will be in full operation by 30 September 2015.
DER has required Synergy to ensure that the PEMS technology chosen is compliant with the requirements of USEPA 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 60, Performance Specification 16 and 40 CFR Part 75 which outline the quality control activities that are required to be undertaken to assess acceptability of PEMS when they are initially installed.
These changes will not change the nature of emissions from the stacks during normal operations. Monitoring conditions included in Section 3.2 of this Licence require Synergy to monitor HEGT emissions using PEMS technology in accordance with the Quality Assuarance Manual which inturn must comply with Performance Specification 16.
Synergy have commenced collecting operating parameter data and the

DECISION TABLE
Works Condition OSC Justification (including risk description & decision methodology where Reference Approval / number or relevant) documents Licence W = Works Approval NSC section L= Licence commissioning program will provide significant monitoring data over the commissioning period. Synergy have committed to perform monthly stack testing during this period where commissioning work hasn't occurred. Synergy will provide DER with monthly updates of the NOx emission data collected.
Completing the PEMS model will require a limited number of short duration tests without the NOx water pumps operating. This in turn means there is a risk that there will be short duration breaches of the NOx limits. These breaches are necessary to calibrate the PEMS and will not be required to be performed again for the lifetime of this particular PEMS monitoring system.
Emission Description Emission: Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from the gas turbines via the stacks A4 and A5. Impact: Short term reduction in local air quality which is unlikely to be above NEPM standard. Nearest sensitive receptor is 2 kilometres away. Controls: No abatement controls are proposed because emission is short term for the purpose of PEMS calibration.
Risk Assessment Consequence: Minor Likelihood: Unlikely Risk Rating: Moderate
OSC2.2.4 has been amended to require that the licensee provide notice of running without the NOx water injection pumps to validate the PEMS model. OSC3.2.1 and 3.2.4 have been amended to allow the use of PEMS instead of CEMS to measure NOx and to operate PEMS in accordance with the Quality Assurance Manual.
