16 If the Planning Secretary determines that the development has caused Biodiversity Management exceedances of the performance measures in condition 15 above, the Plan (S2-FGJ-ENV-PLN- Proponent must pay additional funds to the NPWS within 3 months of the 0008) determination to offset the groundwater-related impacts of the development on the Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and Associated Fens. [...] The Planning Secretary will determine the amount of funds the proponent must pay following consultation with the NPWS, DAWE and the Proponent; and having regard to: (a) The significance of the impacts on the bogs and associated fens; (b) The relevant values from the Biodiversity Offset Payment calculator; and (c) The likely cost of carrying out the conservation actions required to offset these imp. [...] Future Generation will aim to reuse the water from the process water treatments plants in the fire water tanks and the industrial water tank which will be located within the portal / tunnel. [...] The review identified that the reuse of treated wastewater for construction activities presents a low risk to environmental and human health given: • The treatment process and resulting water quality; • The adoption of management and monitoring measures; and • Existing monitoring programs contained in the Project’s management plans. [...] Future Generation will continue to develop the Balance during construction and the completion of final tunnel design for the purpose of: • demonstrating the functionality of the process water system; • estimate the probable range in water transfer volumes; and • record, update and report on the water transfer volumes each calendar year.
