Queensland Government

(}~pi'lrtnl1~nt of Environment and Resource Management

Thank you for submitting a revised interim program under section 13(6A) of the Moreton Resource Operations Plan (the ROP) outlining a proposal tei make releases from Wivenhoe Dam (the dam) to maintain a 75% full sUpply level for the remainder of the 2011 summer season (between 20 February 2D11 and 31 Miirch 2011).

I advise that I have approved the subrilittedprogram under Section 13 (7) (a) of the ROP. I acknowledge that Seqwater will put suitable communications arrangements in place prior to and during the 'period when releases are being made under the interim program. I also note that the releases will be monitored and managed by Seq water through suitably qualified personnel.

I also remind you that releases made under the interim program must be in accordance with other provisions of the Moreton ROP, including section 74, which states that the rate of release of water from the dam must occur to minimise the Ciccurrence of adverse environmental impacts, such as bank slumpiMg,

Should you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me on telephone '

Yours sincerely

John Bradley Director-General

Seqwater Interim Program - Moreton Resource Operations Plan

(Revised 17 February 2011)

The Moreton Resource Operations Plan (the ROP) commenced on 7 December 2009. The

Queensland Bulk Water Supply Authority (Widing as Seq water) is the Resource Operations Licence

Holder under the ROP for the following Water Supply Schemes:

• Central Brisbane River Water Supply Scheme;

• Pine Valleys Water Supply Scheme; and

• Stanley River Water Supply Scheme.

Where Seqwater, as the ROL holder, is unable to meet requirements of the ROP on its

commencement, a structured process is available whereby a statement of programs currently in

existence can be prepared and submitted to the Department of Environment and Resource

Management (DERM), to be followed by an Interim Program. The box below sets out the relevant

provisions under the ROP.

Relevant ROP Requirement

Interim Program

s13{l) The chief executive and the resource operations licence holder must implement requirements of this plan as 500n as Is

practical within the timeframes stated below,

513(2) Subsections 3 to 11 apply where a resource operations licence holder Is unable to meet the requirements of this plan

on the day this plan commences.

s13(3} The resource operations licence holder must-

(a) within 2 months of commencement of this plan, submit a statement of programs currently in eXistence, to the chief

executive for approval; and (b) within 6 months of commencement of this plan, submit a program for meeting the requirements of this plan to

the chief executive for approval, including a timetable and Interim methods to be used.

513(4) The resource operations licence holder may, where an emergency or operational incident results in an inability to

comply with any rules or requirements of this plan, submit an interim program for meeting the requirements of this plan to

the chief executive for approval, including timetable and Interim methods to be used .

s13(5) Where the submitted program relates to the Water Monitoring Data Collection Standards, the program must include

the accuracy of methods currently used.

s13{6) The chief executive, in considering any submitted program} may request additional information.

s13{6A) Despite anything in subsections 2, 3 or 4, a resource operations licence holder with an approved interim program may

submit to the chief executive a revised program for consideration under subsection 7.

s13(7) The chief executive, in considering any submitted program, may either-

(a) approve the program with or without conditions;

(b) amend and approved the amended program; or

(e) require the resource operations licence holder to submit a revised program.

513(8) Within 10 business days of making a decision on a program submitted under this section the chief executive must

notify the resource operations licence holder of the decision.

s13(9) Following approval of the program by the chief executive, the resource operations licence holder must-

(a) implement and operate in accordance with the approved program; and

(b) make public details of the approved program on their internet site.

s13(10) Where there is conflict between the provisions of this plan and the provisions of an approved program, the approved

program prevails for the time that the approved program is in place.

S13{l1) Where this section applies, the resource operations licence holder may continue to operate under the existing

--'program until the program submitted under this section is approved. .

Seqwater submitted a Statement of Current Programs to DERM on 5 February 2010, in accordance

with Section 13 of the ROP.

Seq water submitted an Interim Program for the Moreton ROP to DERM in May 2010, as required under s13 of the ROP. After consultation with and at the request of DERM, an amended Interim Program was submitted to DERM on 27 August 2010. A delegate ofthe Chief Executive approved Seqwater's 27 August 2010 Interim Program on 3 December 2010.

On 14 February 2011, the ROP was amended to permit a Resource Operations licence Holder to submit a revised program.

Under Section 6A of the ROP, this Revised Interim Program is now submitted to DERM for approval to facilitate the temporary reduction of the water storage level at Wivenhoe Dam to temporarily increase the flood mitigation capacity of the dam .
