(b) For the purposes of sub-clause (a) of this Condition, the Licensee's deemed contribution to the daily PM10 particulate measurement at the Authority's Walls Street air monitoring station on any one day will be deemed to be the difference on that day between the daily PM10 particulate measurement at the Authority's Schulz Reserve air monitoring station and the daily PM10 particulate measurement at the Authority's Walls Street air monitoring station ("the Deemed Contribution") provided that the wind on that day at any time is coming in a direction from the Licensee's Whyalla Steelworks site (the wind is deemed to be a direction of 355° to 100° as measured at the Licensee's Hummock Hill wind sensor) ("the Required Direction"). For the purposes of this Condition, the "daily PM10 particulate measurement" (at both the Authority's Walls Street air monitoring station and the Authority's Schulz Reserve air monitoring station) for a day will be the 24hr average of all the validated 10 minute PM10 particulate measurements recorded at the relevant air monitoring station on that day. For the purposes of this Condition, a day is deemed to be a 24 hour period commencing 00:00. In the event of either PM10 data from the Authority's Walls Street air monitoring station or the Authority's Schulz Reserve air monitoring station not being available for any part of a day, the Licensee is deemed to be in compliance for that day.

The Reduced Ammonia Discharge Study and Reporting Scheme e1295 Att4 revision 0 (or subsequent approved revisions) cannot be varied without written approval of the Authority. (d) If: (i) as a result of monitoring pursuant to condition 3.1(b) it is reported by the Licensee to the Authority that the independent professional's opinion is that the condition of the seagrass has materially worsened during the reporting period; AND (ii) it is decided by the Authority after receiving from the Licensee such relevant information that the Licensee can provide - that the reason why the condition of the seagrass has materially worsened, is due to one or more of the Acknowledged Possible Ammonia Impacts, (as defined in Section 7.0 of QP50.71 revision 1) and is not related to a natural occurrence or event unrelated to the ammonia discharge from the premises; the Licensee will, within 6 calendar months, of the submission to the Authority of the seagrass monitoring report which first identified that the seagrass condition had materially worsened - submit a proposed ammonia discharge management and proposed actions report ("Ammonia Discharge Management and Proposed Actions Report") to the Authority for the approval of the Authority. The Ammonia Discharge Management and Proposed Actions Report will include (but not be limited to) a timeframe for implementation of all actions listed in that report. The Ammonia Discharge Management and Proposed Actions Report must be implemented within the time approved by the Authority. Any extension of time must be approved in writing by the Authority. (e) The Licensee must monitor the ammonia discharge from the Coke Ovens and Blast Furnace in accordance with WI.50.301 revision 19 (or subsequent revisions approved by the Authority), and report to the Authority the total amount of ammonia discharged in tonnes per annum from both the Coke Ovens and Blast Furnace (cumulatively) compared to the Total Ammonia Discharge Target Amount. In the event that the annual Total Ammonia Discharge Target Amount contained in WI.50.301 revision 19 (or subsequent revisions approved by the Authority) is exceeded then the Licensee must undertake monitoring as per QP 50.71 revision 1 (or subsequent revisions approved by the Authority) during the following autumn to determine any impacts that may have occurred as a result of that exceedance on seagrass in the receiving environment. (f) The maximum amount of ammonia that may be discharged from both the Coke Ovens and Blast Furnace (cumulatively) by the Licensee in any one calendar year period is an amount of 215 tonnes ("Total Ammonia Discharge Absolute Amount"). In the event that the Total Ammonia Discharge Absolute Amount is exceeded in any one calendar year period then the Licensee will submit an Ammonia Discharge Management and Proposed Actions Report to the Authority for the approval of the Authority. The Ammonia Discharge Management and Proposed Actions Report must include a timeframe for implementation of all actions listed in that report. Once the Ammonia Discharge Management and Proposed Actions Report has been approved by the Authority the Licensee will carry out the actions in the Ammonia Discharge Management and Proposed Actions Report. Any extension of time must be approved in writing by the Authority. (g) If, at any time, the Licensee reasonably forms the opinion that one or more of the requirements of this Condition 3.1 should not be implemented because: (i) the requirement is too onerous financially or technically for the Licensee; (ii) there is a better option available: or (iii) the Licensee is incapable of meeting specified outcomes, then the Licensee will advise the Minister and the Authority of its opinion, provide detailed reasons for its opinion and propose an appropriate amendment to this Condition 3.1 for the consideration of the Minister. 3.2 Additional Condition in Relation to Blast Furnace Waste Water Discharges The Licensee must ensure that no more than 5309 kilograms of zinc (as Zn) is discharged to the marine environment from the blast furnace scrubber wastewater effluent stream, in any calendar year.
