Examples 1 water-based recreation—swimming (REC/1) 2 waterscape (VIEW) 3 stock water supply (STOCK) Note 1 An example is part of the regulation, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132). Note 2 The territory plan is available at www.actpla.act.gov.au. 42 Certain pollutants taken to cause environmental harm— Act, s 5 (b) A pollutant mentioned in a part in schedule 3 is taken to cause environmental harm if it enters a waterway with the environmental value for the part. Example Schedule 3, part 3.2 prescribes pollutants that are taken to cause environmental harm if they enter a waterway with the environmental value that is used for water-based recreation, for example, Lake Tuggeranong. So under that part, any nitrogen that enters Lake Tuggeranong is taken to cause environmental harm. Note An example is part of the regulation, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132). http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/a/2001-14 http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/ http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/a/2001-14 Water Part 4 Protection of waterways Division 4.2 Section 43 R30 31/08/17 Environment Protection Regulation 2005 Effective: 31/08/17 page 29 Unauthorised version prepared by ACT Parliamentary Counsel’s Office 43 Ambient environmental standards for waterways (1) The ambient environmental standards for a waterway with an environmental value mentioned in a part in schedule 4 are the standards stated for the indicators in the part. Example Schedule 4, part 4.5 prescribes the standards for waterways used as stock water supply, for example, the Molonglo River. Under the part, the Molonglo River should have an acidity between pH 6.5 and 9.2. If it does not, the river does not meet the ambient environmental standards. Note An example is part of the regulation, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132). (2) Subsection (1) does not apply when the waterway’s flow conditions exceed the 10-year 5 percentile high-flow value. Example The Cotter River generally meets the ambient environmental standards. Hypothetically, there was excessive rain last spring, which caused the river to flood. The Cotter River rose to the highest level it had been at for 25 years. Under s (2), the ambient environmental standards would not apply during the flood.
