- Type of offence
- 1. Did fail to comply with Pollution Abatement Notice at Northcote on 30.11.2016, contrary to s.31A(7).
- Background of offence
Oz Tyre Recyclers Pty Ltd (Accused) are a company who held an Environment Protection Authority (EPA) license for the storage of waste tyres. One of the requirements of Oz Tyre Recyclers' licence to store tyres was to implement a monitoring program that enabled EPA to determine compliance with the licence. This program was never implemented by the Accused in contravention of the licence.
In response to this, EPA issued a Pollution Abatement Notice (PAN) to the Accused again requiring them to implement a monitoring program by a set date. This did not occur. EPA then issued an Infringement Notice to the Accused in relation to the non-compliance with the PAN s.31(7) of the Environment Protection Act 1970. This infringement notice was not paid.
In response to this non-payment of the infringement notice, EPA issued proceedings in the Magistrates' Court to pursue the fine.
