### sec.206 Environmental authorities for particular resource activities includes particular conditions An environmental authority issued for a resource activity other than a mining activity is taken to include a condition prohibiting the use of restricted stimulation fluids. the use of hydrocarbon chemicals to stimulate the fracturing of coal seams Also, an environmental authority issued for a petroleum activity is taken to include a condition prohibiting the injection of a GHG stream into the Great Artesian Basin for the purpose of enhanced petroleum recovery. A condition mentioned in subsection (1) or (2) is taken to be a standard condition imposed on the environmental authority. In this section— restricted stimulation fluids means fluids used for the purpose of stimulation, including fracturing, that contain the following chemicals in more than the maximum amount prescribed under a regulation— petroleum hydrocarbons containing benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene or xylene; chemicals that produce, or are likely to produce, benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene or xylene as the chemical breaks down in the environment. s 206 prev s 206 ins 2000 No. 64 s 6 amd 2001 No. 46 s 15 ; 2004 No. 48 s 73 ; 2007 No. 56 s 6 sch ; 2013 No. 6 s 50 sch om 2012 No. 16 s 7 pres s 206 ins 2012 No. 16 s 8 (amd 2013 No. 6 s 10 (5) ) amd 2024 No. 33 s 5B (sec.206-ssec.1) An environmental authority issued for a resource activity other than a mining activity is taken to include a condition prohibiting the use of restricted stimulation fluids. the use of hydrocarbon chemicals to stimulate the fracturing of coal seams (sec.206-ssec.2) Also, an environmental authority issued for a petroleum activity is taken to include a condition prohibiting the injection of a GHG stream into the Great Artesian Basin for the purpose of enhanced petroleum recovery.
