Environmental Protection Act 1994

This section applies if—

the holder of the environmental authority has given the administering authority a plan of operations (the original plan); and

the plan period for the plan has not ended.

The holder may amend or replace the original plan at any time before the plan period ends by giving the administering authority a written notice that—

states—

the amendment of the original plan; or

that the original plan is replaced; and

is accompanied by—

for a replacement—a replacement plan, in the approved form, that complies with section 292(1)(b) to (d); and

a compliance statement for the original plan, as amended, or for the replacement plan; and

the fee prescribed by regulation.

The compliance statement must comply with section 292(2).

The holder’s plan of operations is taken to be the original plan, as amended from time to time by any amendment under this section.

However, an amendment can not extend the plan period.

The original plan ceases to apply if it is replaced.

A replacement plan may apply for a period of no more than 5 years after the day the notice of the replacement plan is given under this section.
