These codes of practice are linked to the Environment Protection Water Quality Policy 2015. The requirements outlined in these codes will then be enforceable by the issuing of an EPO under section 93 of the Environment Protection Act 1993. Failure to comply with an order is a breach of the Act. Future links to other environment protection policies, such as air and waste, may be created.
