EPA licensing
South East Fibre Exports is licensed under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act - licence no. 1482).
Under the act, SEFE is required to monitor concentrations of pollutants from SEFE’s Water Treatment Plant clarifier discharge point which flows to an ocean outfall.
Daily volume discharge limit is 1000 kilolitres.
Discharges from the clarifier are always controlled operations, and occur infrequently, usually no more than once every two years.
