(1) No. If the Honourable Member is aware of such arrangements being made, I would appreciate if these are brought to my attention.
(2) The Brookdale Liquid Waste Treatment Facility is presently taking these wastes and may continue to do so until the plant closes by 31 December 2003. When these wastes are diverted from the Brookdale Facility, waste generators will seek alternative waste treatment facilities which are appropriately licensed to accept such wastes. An example of such a facility is the Total Waste Management Facility in Kalgoorlie which has a wash out facility that is sumped, graded and concrete lined.
