201A Additional requirements for plans for CSG recycled water schemes

(1) This section applies to a recycled water management plan for a CSG recycled water scheme.

(2) In addition to complying with section 201, the plan must—

(a) demonstrate how any risks associated with variations in the quality of the source water will be managed; and
(b) include the pre-supply water quality data for the scheme; and
(c) if the scheme is a CSG (aquifer) recycled water scheme—
(i) identify the hazards and hazardous events that may affect the quality of the relevant water for the scheme (the relevant hazards and hazardous events); and
(ii) include an assessment of the risks posed by the relevant hazards and hazardous events; and
(iii) demonstrate how the risks posed by the relevant hazards and hazardous events are proposed to be managed; and
(iv) include a validation program for the scheme.

(3) In this section—

pre-supply water quality data means data about the results of testing, carried out in the way and at the times required under the guidelines mentioned in section 201(4)(a), of the quality of the following water—

(a) the water in feed ponds for the scheme or, if data for the water in feed ponds is not available, the water from petroleum wells for the scheme;
(b) the coal seam gas water at the point of supply nominated in the recycled water management plan;
(c) for a plan relating to a CSG recycled water scheme under which recycled water is supplied by its release, directly or indirectly, into an aquifer—the water in the aquifer before the recycled water is released.

relevant location, for a drinking water service provider, has the meaning given for part 9A.

relevant water, for a CSG (aquifer) recycled water scheme, means each of the following—

(a) the recycled water supplied under the scheme;
(b) the water in the aquifer after the recycled water has been released into it;
(c) the water in the aquifer at the relevant location for a drinking water service provider.

source water means coal seam gas water produced under the CSG recycled water scheme, including coal seam gas water from a petroleum well or in a feed pond.
