South Australia Report to the NEPC on the implementation of the National Environment Protection (Movement of Controlled Waste between States and Territories) Measure for South Australia by the Hon. Ian Hunter MLC, Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, for the reporting year ended 30 June 2015. PART 1—IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEPM AND ANY SIGNIFICANT ISSUES In South Australia, the Movement of Controlled Waste NEPM operates through the Environment Protection (Movement of Controlled Waste) Policy 2014. The purpose of the Policy is to enable SA to participate in the national tracking of controlled waste transported from a participating State for delivery to a destination facility in SA or that is transported within SA for delivery to a destination facility in a participating State, in a manner and for purposes consistent with the NEPM. The Policy also includes the imposition of penalties for the contravention of the Policy and other provisions necessary for the application of the Policy in this jurisdiction. In March 2015, the South Australian online tracking of waste (‘WasteTracker’) became operational. The online system was adapted from the NSW online tracking of waste and assists waste producers, transporters and operators of waste facilities to apply for consignment authorisations and complete waste transport certificates. The system also enables the EPA to identify exceptions such as incomplete waste transport certificates or waste received at a non-approved facility in real time. PART 2—ASSESSMENT OF NEPM EFFECTIVENESS The implementation of the NEPM and Environment Protection (Movement of Controlled Waste) Policy 2014 provides the waste and resource recovery sector with clear requirements for the transport of waste into and out of SA. In addition, the NEPM and Policy enable the EPA to ensure that controlled wastes entering SA are transported and treated in a manner that minimises the potential for adverse impacts on the environment or human health.

Tasmania
Report to the NEPC on the implementation of the National Environment Protection (Movement of Controlled Waste between States and Territories) Measure for Tasmania by the Hon. Matthew Groom MP, Minister for Environment, Parks and Heritage for the reporting year ended 30 June 2015. PART 1—IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEPM AND ANY SIGNIFICANT ISSUES In Tasmania, the National Environment Protection (Movement of Controlled Waste between States and Territories) Measure (NEPM) is a state policy under the State Policies and Projects Act 1993. The key legislative instrument for implementation of the NEPM is the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994. The Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment are the responsible agency for the purposes of implementation of the NEPM. The NEPM is fully implemented in Tasmania. Tasmania regularly consults with the other jurisdictions on NEPM matters such as issuing consignment authorisations and the appropriateness of treatment/disposal facilities. Tasmania continues to participate in all implementation aspects of the NEPM including exchange of relevant information through active membership in the Implementation Working Group which has met face-to-face during the reporting period. Issues raised by industry, waste transport companies and other agencies continue to be satisfactorily resolved through this forum. As controlled waste received from external territories is reported separately, this has particular significance for Tasmania as most of the controlled waste consignment authorisations issued by Tasmania are for controlled wastes returned to Australia from Antarctica. Approval was given during the reporting period, for a Tasmanian trial to be conducted for the cement kiln processing of Spent Cracking Catalyst from Victoria as an alternate feed stock. The trial was conducted in accordance with the approval given, and an additional trial has since been approved. PART 2—ASSESSMENT OF NEPM EFFECTIVENESS The driving force in achieving the NEPM goal has been ongoing consultation between waste producers, transporters and the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment on controlled waste matters, particularly in relation to reducing the amount of controlled waste generated at source. A reduction in risks of adverse impacts associated with transport of controlled waste on the environment and human health has been achieved through improved waste management. There has been additional and ongoing consultation between jurisdictions in relation to the appropriateness of issuing consignment authorisations.

Australian Capital Territory Report to the NEPC on the implementation of the National Environment Protection (Movement of Controlled Waste between States and Territories) Measure for Australian Capital Territory by Mr Simon Corbell MLA, Minister for the Environment for the reporting year ended 30 June 2015. PART 1—IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEPM AND ANY SIGNIFICANT ISSUES The NEPM has been fully implemented and operational in the Australian Capital Territory since March 2000 with no major issues having been identified with its operation. The Environment Protection Authority continued to work with industry during the review period to ensure efficient implementation of the NEPM. NEPM information sheets (which include an explanation of producer, transporter and waste facility responsibilities and instructions on how to complete a waste transport certificate) produced by the Environment Protection Authority continue to be of great benefit to stakeholders in ensuring compliance with their statutory requirements. All parties bound by the NEPM have complied with the NEPM’s protocols and information reporting requirements. Regular contact has been maintained with other jurisdictions to ensure cooperative administration of the NEPM. Movements have continued into the ACT from most jurisdictions for the treatment of polychlorinated biphenyl free contaminated oil by Transformer Maintenance Services Australia Pty Ltd and from the surrounding NSW regions for the treatment of clinical waste by SteriHealth Canberra.
