South Australian Current Regulations South Australian Current Regulations75—Measurement of waste and other matter for purposes of monthly returns
(1) Subject to
regulation 82, for the purposes of a return under regulation 74(1)
and (2), the mass or volume of waste and other matter—
(a)
received at a waste depot; or
(b) used
at a waste depot for operational purposes; or
(c)
disposed of at a waste depot (including waste used as cover for landfill); or
(d)
transported from a waste depot,
must be determined in accordance with this regulation.
Maximum penalty: $4 000.
Expiation fee: $300.
(2) The mass or volume
of waste and other matter received, used or disposed of at, or transported
from, a waste depot (as the case requires), is to be calculated as the
aggregate of the mass or volume of waste and other matter comprised of—
(a)
waste and other matter received at the waste depot; or
(b)
waste and other matter used for operational purposes at the depot; or
(c)
waste and other matter disposed of at the depot (including waste used as cover
for landfill); or
(d)
waste and other matter transported from the waste depot.
(3) The mass of solid
waste and other matter must be determined as follows:
(a) in
the case of a landfill depot with an approved weighbridge (installed in
accordance with regulation 77)—the mass of the waste and other
matter received at the depot must, on its receipt and prior to its disposal
(including waste used as cover for landfill), be determined by use of the
approved weighbridge unless the Authority has, in accordance with the Waste
Reporting, Record Keeping and Measurement Standard , determined otherwise;
(b) if
paragraph (a) does not apply—
(i)
in the case of waste and other matter specified in the
Waste Reporting, Record Keeping and Measurement Standard —the
mass—
(A) may be determined by use of an
approved weighbridge; or
(B) if not so determined—will be
taken to be the average net mass of waste and other matter, as determined for
a relevant class of vehicle or if relevant, the type of waste or other matter,
in accordance with the Waste Reporting, Record Keeping and Measurement
Standard ; and
(ii)
in any other case—the mass must, subject to
regulation 78, be determined by use of an approved weighbridge.
(4) If a weighbridge
is used under this regulation to measure waste and other matter, it is to be
measured—
(a) in
the case of waste weighed on a weighbridge installed before
1 September 2009—to the highest level of weighing accuracy for
the particular design of weighbridge; or
(b) in
any other case—to the nearest 0.02 tonnes or kilolitres.
(5) The volume of
liquid waste disposed of at a waste depot—
(a) may
be determined by use of a dipstick pre-calibrated for the liquid waste
container used to hold the liquid waste to be disposed of; or
(b) may
be measured by means of a volume measuring device, which has been approved in
writing by the Authority, installed at the depot; or
(c) may
be calculated—
(i)
by measuring the net mass of the liquid waste by use of
an approved weighbridge; and
(ii)
by dividing that measurement by the predetermined mass
per kilolitre of the particular liquid waste; or
(d) may
be taken to be that certified, in a cartnote signed by both the producer and
transporter of the waste, to be the volume of liquid waste to be delivered to
the depot; or
(e) if a
liquid waste container used to hold the liquid waste to be disposed of is
full—
(i)
may be calculated from the dimensions of the container;
or
(ii)
in the case of a container the capacity of which has been
predetermined by a volume calibration method (approved in writing by the
Authority) and marked on the container—may be taken to be that capacity.
