### sec.28 Prescribed documents for application for environmental authority for a CSG activity— Act , s 125
For section 125 (1) (o) of the Act , the documents prescribed for an application for an environmental authority for a CSG activity that is an ineligible ERA are—
documents dealing with each of the following matters about coal seam gas water generated in connection with carrying out the CSG activity—
whether the proposed management of the coal seam gas water is consistent with the coal seam gas water management policy, including the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using coal seam gas water;
if the proposed management of the coal seam gas water is inconsistent with the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using coal seam gas water—the reason for managing the coal seam gas water in the proposed way; and
documents dealing with each of the following matters for brine or salt generated from the management of the coal seam gas water mentioned in paragraph (a) —
whether the proposed management of the brine or salt is consistent with the coal seam gas water management policy, including the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste;
if the proposed management of the brine or salt is inconsistent with the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste—the reason for managing the coal seam gas water in the proposed way.
In this section—
prioritisation hierarchy means—
for managing and using coal seam gas water—the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using CSG water stated in the coal seam gas water management policy; or
for managing brine and salt—the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste stated in the coal seam gas water management policy.
(sec.28-ssec.1) For section 125 (1) (o) of the Act , the documents prescribed for an application for an environmental authority for a CSG activity that is an ineligible ERA are— documents dealing with each of the following matters about coal seam gas water generated in connection with carrying out the CSG activity— whether the proposed management of the coal seam gas water is consistent with the coal seam gas water management policy, including the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using coal seam gas water; if the proposed management of the coal seam gas water is inconsistent with the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using coal seam gas water—the reason for managing the coal seam gas water in the proposed way; and documents dealing with each of the following matters for brine or salt generated from the management of the coal seam gas water mentioned in paragraph (a) — whether the proposed management of the brine or salt is consistent with the coal seam gas water management policy, including the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste; if the proposed management of the brine or salt is inconsistent with the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste—the reason for managing the coal seam gas water in the proposed way.
(sec.28-ssec.2) In this section— prioritisation hierarchy means— for managing and using coal seam gas water—the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using CSG water stated in the coal seam gas water management policy; or for managing brine and salt—the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste stated in the coal seam gas water management policy.
- (a) documents dealing with each of the following matters about coal seam gas water generated in connection with carrying out the CSG activity— (i) whether the proposed management of the coal seam gas water is consistent with the coal seam gas water management policy, including the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using coal seam gas water; (ii) if the proposed management of the coal seam gas water is inconsistent with the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using coal seam gas water—the reason for managing the coal seam gas water in the proposed way; and
- (i) whether the proposed management of the coal seam gas water is consistent with the coal seam gas water management policy, including the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using coal seam gas water;
- (ii) if the proposed management of the coal seam gas water is inconsistent with the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using coal seam gas water—the reason for managing the coal seam gas water in the proposed way; and
- (b) documents dealing with each of the following matters for brine or salt generated from the management of the coal seam gas water mentioned in paragraph (a) — (i) whether the proposed management of the brine or salt is consistent with the coal seam gas water management policy, including the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste; (ii) if the proposed management of the brine or salt is inconsistent with the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste—the reason for managing the coal seam gas water in the proposed way.
- (i) whether the proposed management of the brine or salt is consistent with the coal seam gas water management policy, including the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste;
- (ii) if the proposed management of the brine or salt is inconsistent with the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste—the reason for managing the coal seam gas water in the proposed way.
- (i) whether the proposed management of the coal seam gas water is consistent with the coal seam gas water management policy, including the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using coal seam gas water;

- (i) whether the proposed management of the brine or salt is consistent with the coal seam gas water management policy, including the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste;
- (ii) if the proposed management of the brine or salt is inconsistent with the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste—the reason for managing the coal seam gas water in the proposed way.
- (a) for managing and using coal seam gas water—the prioritisation hierarchy for managing and using CSG water stated in the coal seam gas water management policy; or
- (b) for managing brine and salt—the prioritisation hierarchy for managing saline waste stated in the coal seam gas water management policy.
