I refer to a newspaper article which appeared in the
Kalgoorlie Miner
dated Friday February 24 2006, titled ‘Rees enters Loongana debate’ in which the chairperson of the Kalgoorlie Boulder Community and Industry Reference group was calling for the reinstatement of licence wind restrictions on Loongana Lime operations -
(1) Does the Minister support the reinstatement of wind restrictions for burning waste oil and diesel at Loongana operations, so as residents do not continue to receive unreasonable odours which affect the health, welfare, amenity, convenience and comfort of residents living in the surrounding area?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) If yes to (1), will the Minister ensure that this urgently takes place?
(4) How many Environmental Field Notices have been issued to Loongana Lime since the licence condition relating to the burning of waste oil, when the winds are blowing towards a residential area, were removed?
(5) If no to (4), why not?
(6) Will the Minister table copies of all the Environmental Field Notices issued as per question (4) above?
(7) If no to (6), why not?
(8) Will the Minister quote the full text from the Environmental Field Notices as to why they were issued on each occasion?
(9) If no to (8), why not?
(10) Can the Minister explain why the DoE repeatedly allows emissions to reoccur, despite Environmental Field Notices being issued, without strong enforcement action being taken against Loongana Lime operations, to clearly prevent any further odour incidents which seriously affect the welfare, convenience, health, amenity, comfort of surrounding residents?
(11) If no to (10), why not?
(12) Can the Minister state how many ongoing repeated incidences of odour emissions do persons have to endure which affect the welfare, health, amenity, comfort, convenience of surrounding residents before a Environmental Protection Notice is placed on Loongana Lime operations, to ensure that the residents are clearly protected, and that the issue of unreasonable odours is stopped?

(2) Not applicable. (3) Not applicable. (4) Four Environmental Field Notices have been issued on Loongana Lime since the licence condition was removed. These were issued on the 16/11/2005, 24/12/2005, 27/2/2006 and 9/3/2006 and are attached. [ see table paper number ] (5) Not applicable. (6) Yes, I table copies of the Environmental Field Notices. (7) Not applicable. (8) Yes as per question 6. (9) Not applicable. (10) Loongana Lime have been issued with a Licence under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 and correspondingly will have emissions to the atmosphere. As per (1) the most recent licence has been appealed and is currently subject to consideration by the Office of Appeals Convenor. However, this licence has been issued based on the best scientific evidence available at the time with conditions to minimise the likelihood of emissions causing pollution or environmental harm (serious or material). Conditions have also been placed on the licence to minimise emissions where reasonable and practicable. Inspectors of the Department of Environment(DoE) issued the Environmental Field Notices tabled in Question (6) as they considered that the odour may have been unreasonable. These notices are issued to bring the matter to the attention of the company or individual. From this the matter is then investigated to determine if a prima facie case exists for a breach of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 . The DoE is currently investigating these incidents. (11) Not applicable. (12)Each complaint is examined on a case by case basis by the DoE. Ongoing substantiated odour events however, will result in the DoE considering the issuing of an Environmental Protection Notice to restrict the use of recycled oil when winds are blowing towards residential areas. This was communicated to Loongana Lime in a recent letter from the DoE.
