I refer to the Oil Energy Corporation (OEC) waste incinerator at 20 Schillaman Street, Wedgefield, Western Australia, and ask:
(a) can the Minister confirm that the OEC was served with an Environmental Protection Notice by the Department of Environment (DEC) and Conservation on 8 November 2010, and if yes, can the Minister please provide details as to why this notice was served;
(b) did the OEC incinerator release any emissions which were considered to be pollution, and if yes, what specific contaminants were released through the incinerator stack that were considered to be pollutants and at what concentration were they released;
(c) did DEC identify that the OEC incinerator was being used to burn materials that were not permitted on the conditions of their licence 6789/1994/13, and if yes, what materials were being incinerated outside of their licence;
(d) does the OEC incinerator have monitoring equipment to ensure that emissions released from the incinerator comply with the emissions limits of their prescribed premises licence, and:
(i) if yes, has the monitoring data reported that the OEC incinerator has always been compliant with its emissions limits; and
(ii) if no, why not; and
(e) have any further enforcement notices been issued to the OEC incinerator operators since November 8 2010, and if yes, can the Minister please provide details?
