We asked

Public comment was invited on the referral to help the EPA determine the appropriate level of assessment.

You said

There were no comments on the referral.

We did

The EPA determined that the proposal would not be assessed as potential impacts could be effectively managed under Part V Division 2 of the EP Act (Clearing).

Overview

Water Corporation intends to construct and operate a connection to the existing Millstream to Greenbushes pipeline near Camp Brook in the locality of Southampton. The proposal would include 16km of buried pipeline from Camp Brook across the Blackwood River and then via Huitson Road and Maranup Ford Road to Greenbushes.

What happens next

Following the seven day public comment period and consideration of any comments received, the EPA will decide whether or not this proposal requires environmental impact assessment and, if so, what level of assessment will be applied.

The Chairman's decisions on level of assessment are released each Monday on the EPA's website.
