Contaminated Land Management Act 1997

An application for renewal of accreditation as a site auditor must—

be made in the manner and form approved by the EPA, and

be supported by any information required by the EPA, and

be made within the time (if any) prescribed by the regulations.

The EPA may require an applicant to furnish to the EPA, within a specified time, any further particulars that the EPA considers necessary to determine the suitability of the applicant for renewal of accreditation.

The EPA is to determine an application for renewal of accreditation as a site auditor by granting or refusing the application.

The EPA may refuse to grant renewal of accreditation as a site auditor on any of the grounds referred to in section 56 (1) or if the applicant fails to comply with this section or a requirement made under this section.

The EPA must give notice in writing of the determination of the application to the applicant, including—

if the application is granted, notice of the period for which the renewal of accreditation is granted and any conditions to which the accreditation is subject, and

if the application is refused, the reasons for the refusal.

If an application for renewal of an accreditation that is in force is made to the EPA within the time (if any) prescribed by the regulations, the accreditation remains in force until notice in writing of the determination of the application is given to the applicant.

If the application is granted, the applicant’s accreditation remains in force for the period specified by the EPA (not exceeding 3 years), subject to any revocation or suspension of the accreditation under this Act.

If the application is refused, the applicant’s accreditation expires when notice in writing of the determination of the application is given to the applicant.

The regulations may require an accreditation fee to be paid to the EPA, in respect of a grant of a renewal of accreditation, within the time determined by the EPA.

The accreditation fee is to be calculated on the basis of the period for which accreditation is granted.
