When a spill bunds
or leak happens, its not just the inconvenience and cost of the cleanup
that a company or individual will have to face. The EPA will also
investigate and can impose additional fines, conditions and other
restrictions that are deemed appropriate to the scale of the offence. So
any spill is not only damaging to the environment, but can be a costly
exercise that will waste much productive time.
Because the EPA covers such a broad range
of areas, they have at their disposal and number of regulatory tools to
help the enforce the law, including:
- Formal warnings
- Licence conditions
- Notices and directions
- Mandatory audits
- Enforceable undertakings
- Legally binding pollution reduction programs
- Prosecutions
