Mod 2 - Layout Changes

I sent this earlier to day but have not had an acknowledgement. Also, I would have thought that my uploaded submission would negate the need for this form of submission. But here it is again:

SUBMISSION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND INFRASTRUCTURE
RE: MP 10_0054. MODIFICATION 2

I have no objection to the proposed changes to the layout of operations and note that the Proponent has assured the Department that "... no additional infrastructure or operations are being sort (sic) with this proposed modification" (page 1). I also note that the Dargues Community Consultative Committee (DCCC) unanimously endorsed these proposed changes. However, I cannot see that the DCCC endorsed the proposed changes to the conditions of the project

At page 17, the Proponent is proposing that the conditions set out in the Project Approval be only "generally" complied with. I object strongly to this diminution of the conditions of the project. And I am quite sure that had that amendment been put to the Land and Environment Court at the time of the appeal in early 2012, it would not have approved it. I contend that the qualification of "generally" is counter to the intention of the LEC as expressed in the Project Approval of 7 February 2012 and should therefore not be allowed.

I also support the EPA's request that the proposed modification incorporates the outcomes of the Pollution Reduction Program.
