I have received a number of appeals regarding the EPA's Bulletin 1033 and am currently considering these in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. Once I have determined the appeals, I will then decide whether the project may proceed, and any conditions which should apply, in accordance with the Act.
