Permit Environmental authority P-EA-100300302 Definitions Key terms and/or phrases used in Part 1 of this document are defined in this section and the Eligibility criteria defined, the definition in the Environmental Protection Act 1994, its regulations or environmental protection policies must be used. If a word remains undefined it has its ordinary meaning. 'appropriately qualified person' means a person who has professional qualifications, training, skills or experience relevant to the nominated subject matter and can give authoritative assessment, advice and analysis on performance relating to the subject matter using the relevant protocols, standards, methods or literature. `connectivity' includes both structural connectivity (the physical arrangements of disturbance and/or patches) and functional connectivity (the movement of individuals across contours of disturbance and/or among patches). `disturbed' means land that has been impacted by mining activities and includes: a) compacting, removing, covering, exposing or stockpiling of earth b) removal or destruction of vegetation or topsoil or both to an extent where the land has been made susceptible to erosion c) carrying out mining within a watercourse, waterway, wetland or lake d) the submersion of areas by tailings or hazardous contaminant storage and dam/structure walls e) temporary infrastructure, including any infrastructure (roads, tracks, bridges, culverts, dam/structures, bores, buildings, fixed machinery, hardstand areas, airstrips, helipads etc) which is to be removed after the mining activity has ceased f) releasing of contaminants into the soil, or underlying geological strata. However, the following areas are not included when calculating areas of `disturbance': i. areas off lease (e.g. roads or tracks which provide access to the mining lease) ii. areas previously disturbed which have achieved the rehabilitation outcomes iii. by agreement with the administering authority, areas previously disturbed which have not achieved the rehabilitation objective(s) due to circumstances beyond the control of the mine operator (such as climatic conditions) and disturbance that pre-existed the grant of the tenure. iv. areas under permanent infrastructure. Permanent infrastructure includes any infrastructure (roads, tracks, bridges, culverts, dam/structures, bores, buildings, fixed machinery, hardstand areas, airstrips, helipads etc) which is to be left by agreement with the landowner v. disturbance that pre-existed the grant of the tenure. `land' means land excluding waters and the atmosphere, that is, the term has a different meaning from the term as defined in the Environmental Protection Act 1994. For the purposes of the Acts Interpretation Act 1954, it is expressly noted that the term `land' in this environmental authority relates to physical land and not to interests in land. `self-sustaining' means not requiring on-going intervention and maintenance to maintain functional riverine processes and characteristics. `threatened' as defined in the Nature Conservation Act 1992.
