27 Imposition of trading rules by EPA
(1) If at any time it appears that a flood flow salinity target has been exceeded, the EPA may conduct an investigation to determine whether the flood flow salinity target was exceeded as a result of discharges of saline water by participants in the scheme.
(2) Following that investigation, if the EPA is satisfied that the flood flow salinity target was exceeded as a result of discharges of saline water by participants in the scheme, the EPA may, by order published in the Gazette, direct that the trading rules be used during flood flows.
(3) Any such order is called a trading rules order.
(4) A trading rules order takes effect on the publication of the order in the Gazette or on a later date specified in the order.
(5) A trading rules order remains in force for the period (not exceeding 5 years) specified in the order.
