The Contaminated Sites Act (WA)
The Contaminated Sites Act (WA) - (CSA)
The Act came into force on 01 December 2006 and the main focus of this act is:
"Any
person may report a known or suspected contaminated site to DEC
(Department of Environment and Conservation), but under the CS Act
(section 11(4)) the following persons have a duty to report such sites
to DEC:
- an owner or occupier of the site
- a person who knows, or suspects, that he or she has caused, or contributed to, the contamination
- a
contaminated site auditor (accredited under the CS Act) engaged to
provide a report that is required for the purposes of the Act, in
respect of the site."
There was a six month moratorium (until 30 May 2007) on the duty to report (FORM 1) to the DEC as to "known or suspected" contamination.
