QuestionView source ↗
I refer to a letter which I understand is dated April 6 2001 addressed to Mr John Shipp, Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines Pty Ltd (KCGM) signed by Merv Stokes for Fred Tromp, Director Pollution Prevention Division titled ‘Inspection of Licensed Premises License Number 5946/5 Gidgi Roaster, Kalgoorlie-Meekatharra Highway G24/24, G24/25-33, Kalgoorlie’ -
(1) Is it correct that part of the letter dated April 6 2001 states -
‘Similarly there has been some concerns raised regarding the format that the data, required by condition G7 of your current license, is being submitted to the DEP on an unmarked disk with no letter attached. Again these concerns will be addressed in separate correspondence from this Department’?
(2) If no to (1), what did the letter in part state?
(3) If yes to (1), what were the specific concerns raised in separate correspondence?
(4) Is it correct that part of the letter states -
‘From discussions during and after the inspection several licensing matters were raised that need to be addressed. These relate to the liquid chemical storage conditions, washdown bays and license exceedance reporting. Please be aware that these issues will be addressed when the license is reissued’?
(5) If yes to (4), have all of these licensing matters raised now been addressed?
(6) If no to (4), what did the letter in part state?
