Environmental Protection (Kwinana) (Atmospheric Wastes) Regulations 1992.

The Environmental Protection (Kwinana) (Atmospheric Wastes) Regulations 1992, as outlined under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 in Western Australia, establish measures for managing air quality and limiting atmospheric waste in the Kwinana region. Key points include: Definition of Atmospheric Waste: This refers to prescribed substances, notably sulphur dioxide and total suspended particulates, which are regulated due to their environmental impact. Ambient Air Quality Standards: The regulations specify standards and limits for these substances across designated areas (Area A, Area B, Area C), with parameters measured over different time frames (e.g., 1 hour, 24 hours, or 1 year). Industrial Licensing Conditions: Industries in the policy area are required to control emissions, achieve compliance within specific periods, and provide regular progress reports on their adherence to standards. Schedules: Detailed tables in the regulations provide numeric standards and limits for sulphur dioxide and particulate levels in specified areas. The framework aims to protect ambient air quality and enforce compliance through monitoring and reporting.
