Details: Summary
CSBP Limited (CSBP) proposes to remediate contamination on the former Cresco site in Bayswater such that it is suitable for further commercial/industrial use. This report provides the Environmental Protection Authority's (EPA's) advice and recommendations to the Minister for the Environment on the environmental factors relevant to the proposal.
Section 44 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 requires the EPA to report to the Minister for the Environment on the environmental factors relevant to the proposal and on the conditions and procedures to which the proposal should be subject, if implemented. In addition, the EPA may make recommendations as it sees fit.
The EPA is also required to have regard for the principles set out in section 4A of the Environmental Protection Act 1986.
Relevant environmental factors and principles
The EPA decided that the following environmental factors relevant to the proposal required detailed evaluation in the report:
- Soil contamination - removal of source contamination and prevention of groundwater contamination; and
- Water quality - groundwater flowing to the Swan River.
There were a number of other factors which were relevant to the proposal, but the EPA is of the view that the information set out in Appendix 3 provides sufficient evaluation.
