| Summary: In May, 1987 the Environmental Protection Authority published details of its requirements for the evaluation of risks and hazards (EPA Bulletin 278 "Risks and hazards of industrial developments on residential areas in Western Australia", May, 1987). In 1990, the Authority decided to review and extend those guidelines. That review resulted in the publication of Bulletin 611 "Criteria for the assessment of risk from industry". The resultant risk criteria (reproduced at Appendix 2 in this Bulletin) provide guidelines which are used for assessing the acceptability of risks imposed upon surrounding land uses by hazardous industry. The 1990 review examined the issues of individual risk, societal risk, injury risk, ecosystem risk and whether the risk criteria for existing industries should be different to those for new industries.

| Summary: In March 1988 the Health Department of Western Australia, the proponent, requested that the waste receival time on Saturday at the Westfield Treatment Plant be changed from 9.00 am to 12.00 noon to 7am to 4.00pm.

In October 1988 the Minister for the Environment issued his statement that the proposed change was acceptable. However, as a result of a typing error in that statement, the new time for receiving waste on Saturday read 9.00am to 4.00pm and not 7.00am to 4.00pm as assessed.
