Types of operating licences

Operating licences are our permissions tool for high-risk activities. There are 48 types of prescribed operating activities which require an operating licence under Schedule 1 of the Environment Protection Regulations 2021.

Each operating licence has standard conditions outlining the legal obligations of the licence holder. They set up a framework for risk management, record keeping and reporting.

In addition to standard conditions we might also determine that the operating licence needs site-specific conditions. They can include:

Discharge conditions, such as discharge limits for air emissions or water discharges.
Waste acceptance conditions, which set the maximum concentration of contaminants in waste that can be accepted or treated at the activity site.
Other conditions that are required to ensure that certain practices are occurring at the activity site.

A01 - Reportable priority waste management

This operating licence is required for storing, treating, reprocessing, containing or disposing of any reportable waste (transport) generated at another site, other than the following activities:

temporary storage – biomedical waste (A21 registration)
temporary storage – asbestos (A22 registration)
temporary storage – designated waste (A23 registration)

A01 conditions

Condition code	Description
OL_G06.01	You must: (a) prior to receiving waste at the activity site, provide the Authority with a financial assurance in a form and for an amount determined by the Authority; and (b) maintain such financial assurance (including any part of such assurance) so that it can be claimed on, utilised or realised by the Authority as and when required. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: Financial Assurance is a financial instrument that is required to be put in place as a condition of particular permissioned activities. More information on this condition is available in EPA Publication 1850 Guidance for operating licenses – Part 3: Financial assurance.
OL_WA01	You must ensure all of the following: (a) Only waste of a type shown in Appendix 4 of your licence of this licence is accepted at the activity site; and (b) If it is identified that any waste has been received at the activity site that is of a type not shown in Appendix 4 of your licence in contravention of paragraph a) above, such waste must be placed in a designated and sign-posted temporary storage area and sent for disposal to a site licensed by the Authority to receive such waste within 21 days of the date it was received. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: This condition requires a process to effectively identify and classify incoming wastes to ensure only those permitted are accepted, and a way of managing incoming material that you are not lawfully permitted to accept.
OL_WM01.01	You must not store more than [placeholder - XX metres cubed or XX tonnes] of all wastes at the activity site at one time. The method for calculating this volume must be agreed with the Authority. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: This condition specifies the maximum amount of waste that you may store. Storage of large quantities of waste typically represents a substantial hazard to the environment. This issue is taken into account when determining the amount of financial assurance you are required to have, which is calculated according to the amount and type of waste stored at your premises. This requires a tracking system that allows you to determine the amount of waste stored on site at any one time, and a process to trigger alerts when capacity limits are being approached. Exceeding the maximum storage capacity at any time is a non-compliance with this condition and must be reported to EPA.
OL_WM11	For all wastes of a type listed in Appendix 4 of your licence, you must keep records of: (a) incoming and outgoing movements of waste; (b) the current location of waste at your activity site; and (c) the waste type of any waste located at your activity site. These records must be retained for five years and be made available to the Authority on request. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: This condition requires the recording and retention of information on the receipt or disposal of waste from the site. This requires a process to effectively identify and classify incoming wastes to ensure only those permitted are accepted, a method of tracking the location of particular wastes within the site, and a suitable system to record the information.
OL_WM12	You must prepare an emergency management plan which: (a) Includes details of the following matters: (i) Actions to be taken during and immediately after a pollution incident; (ii) Safety equipment stored on the activity site to control a pollution incident (and details of routine inspections and regular maintenance of such equipment); (iii) Contact information for the individuals on site responsible for managing the response to a pollution incident; (iv) The procedure for notifying surrounding sites and relevant agencies of the pollution incident; (v) A map of the activity site and surrounding areas (including sensitive receptors) that could be potentially impacted during a pollution incident; (vi) Emergency response training which has been provided to all persons involved in the activities conducted at the activity site; and (vii) Identification of all persons involved in activities at the activity site who have completed emergency response and other relevant training applicable to responding to a pollution incident; (b) is reviewed and, if necessary, revised and updated whenever the hazards, risks or contact details of relevant persons change at the activity site; (c) must be made available to the Authority on request; and (d) must be reviewed by a suitably qualified person. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: All duty holders (irrespective of whether they hold a permission) must comply with the GED and section 25(4) (c), which requires you to “use and maintain adequate systems to ensure that if a risk of harm to human health or the environment from pollution or waste were to eventuate, its harmful effects would be minimised;” This condition clarifies that for permission holders, a documented environmental emergency management plan (EEMP) is required and is to contain the matters described in the condition, including a process for regular review and updating. More information on the preparation on an EEMP is described in chapter 6 of EPA publication 1667 Management and storage of combustible recyclable and waste materials – guideline.
OL_WM15	You must ensure all buildings involved in the receival, storage and processing of waste are maintained under negative pressure. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: When odour and dust pose a risk to outside environments, a system that maintains a negative pressure within the building must be in place. Mechanisms such as ribbons or sheets, and pressure gauges may be used to achieve negative pressure in an enclosed building and reduce the risks from odour and dust. More information on how to manage the risks of odour is available on the EPA website under “effective odour capture system”.
OL_WM16	Fire-fighting water and related hydrant coverage must be provided so that every part of the activity site is within reach of a 10-metre hose stream issuing from a 60-metre hose connected to a hydrant. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: This condition requires that the fire-fighting hoses and hydrants coverage be developed, maintained, and operate in accordance with relevant building and Australian standards. More information on managing the risk of fire is available at EPA Publication 1667 Management and storage of combustible recyclable and waste materials – guideline.
OL_WM17	Onsite stormwater infrastructure must be kept clean and free of any waste, debris or any other blockages to ensure free movement of stormwater. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: This condition is concerned about the effective maintenance of the stormwater system and the prevention of unintentional blockages from waste and debris. This will involve having processes to identify and routinely check the condition of stormwater drains on site, and suitable controls to ensure they remain free flowing. More information on understanding risks to water is available at EPA Publication 1695 Assessing and controlling risk: A guide for business.
OL_WM18	Wastes received at the activity site must only be received and deposited to the allotted bays as per Appendix 2 of your licence. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: This condition requires you to have a way of defining the boundaries of allocated bays specified in your permission and identifying when waste is stored outside limits. This may include a site map showing deposit and receival locations for different waste types and physical markings on site to ensure waste is only deposited in the allotted bays.
OL_WM19	Wastes, whether comingled, separated, sorted or otherwise stored in the allotted bays or stockpiles identified in Appendix 2 of your licence, must not be stored outside or above the marked height, width and lengths identified on allocated bays. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: This condition requires a way of ensuring that waste is stored within the limits of the permission. Storage outside these limits can increase the risk of fire and restrict access to waste stockpiles in an emergency. This may include maintaining a site map showing deposit and receival locations for different waste types and physical markings on site indicating the defined bays and maximum storage heights and areas. More information on managing waste storage is available at EPA Publication 1667 - Management and storage of combustible recyclable and waste materials – guideline.
OL_WM20	Wastes whether comingled, separated, sorted or otherwise stored in stockpiles identified in Appendix 2 of your licence, must not be stored above the marked height on markers for each waste. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: This condition requires a way of ensuring that waste is not stored above the maximum allowed height. This may include a site plan that identifies storage areas and the permitted heights as well as physical height indicators that are used to identify when the limit is being approached.
OL_WM21	All wastes whether comingled, separated, sorted or otherwise must be managed so as the maximum temperature within any waste is not above 90 degrees Celsius when stored. Information that may assist you to comply with this condition: Combustible recyclable and waste materials can pose a serious risk to the environment and human health. To reduce the risk of waste self-combusting, this condition requires the maximum temperature within a stockpile of waste to be managed so as to not exceed 90 degrees Celsius. This may include using a combination of fire controls, such as: probing, indoor/undercover storage, thermal imaging cameras, high fire risk days, pile orientation, bunker walls or separation/free air gaps. More information on ways to manage the risk of fire in recyclable and waste materials is available in chapter 5 of EPA Publication 1667 - Management and storage of combustible recyclable and waste materials – guideline.
OL_G01	A copy of this licence must be kept at the activity site and be easily accessible to persons who are engaging in an activity conducted at the activity site.
