We also monitor and audit compliance with works approvals and licence conditions, take enforcement action as appropriate and develop and implement licensing and industry regulation policy. Licence requirements This licence is issued under Part V of the Act. Conditions contained with the licence relate to the prevention, reduction or control of emissions and discharges 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. These can be accessed through the State Law Publisher website using the following link: 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. O Environmental Protection (Controlled Waste) Regulations 2004 - these Regulations place obligations on you if you produce, accept, transport or dispose of controlled waste. O 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.

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.

You are required to comply with any conditions imposed by the Minister. Premises description and Licence summary The Kwinana Cogeneration Plant is located 40 kilometres south of Perth.
