Are you ready to report?

The 2024 annual reporting period is approaching, and it’s time to ensure your business is prepared.

If you operate a sewage treatment plant and/or effluent disposal system under an Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA), chances are you hold an Environmental Authority (EA) that requires the submission of an Annual Monitoring Report.

This report involves collecting, analysing, and interpreting the past 12 months of monitoring results and your site’s operational history. An Annual Monitoring Report allows your business to:

• Organize and interpret your monitoring data for compliance purposes
• Identify risks to your operations, the public, or the environment
• Highlight potential process improvements and cost-saving measures
• Simplify and streamline the process for submitting your Annual Returns online
• Respond to regulators in a controlled and documented manner
• Summarize your compliance with legislative obligations in a clear, independent report

To help you prepare your Annual Monitoring Report, ensure you have the following key data:

1. A summary of your monitoring results from the past 12 months
2. Trend analysis and graphs to illustrate treatment plant performance
3. Environmental monitoring and plant performance data evaluation
4. Records of any incidents or equipment failures as required by your EA
5. Details of corrective actions to minimise environmental risks
