reported as detailed in Part 2, Reporting of Monitoring of Air Toxics of Schedule 4 to this Measure.
7. Screening Procedure – Discontinuance of Monitoring at Stage 2 Sites
         (i) This section sets out the screening procedure for discontinuing monitoring at Stage 2 sites.
         (ii) Monitoring may only be discontinued at a Stage 2 site in accordance with this section.
         (iii) A participating jurisdiction may discontinue monitoring at a Stage 2 site if:

              (a) the percentage of monitoring investigation levels at the site are at or below the relevant monitoring cut off limits in accordance with the acceptance limits for discontinuing future monitoring in Table 1 below; and

              (b) the participating jurisdiction reasonably expects that the percentage of monitoring investigation levels at the site will be consistently lower than the relevant monitoring cut off limits in accordance with Table 1 below.
         (iv) In determining whether subsection (iii) is satisfied with respect to toluene and xylenes, a participating jurisdiction must have regard to each of the relevant monitoring investigation levels that apply to those toxics.
         (v) In determining whether the percentage of monitoring investigation levels at a site can be reasonably expected to be consistently lower than the monitoring cut off limit, the participating jurisdiction must:

              (a) be satisfied that the percentage of the monitoring investigation level will be lower than the monitoring cut off limit for a period of at least five years; and

              (b) have regard to potential changes to the site over a period of ten years that may impact on that expectation.
              Example

         For the purpose of this subsection, examples of potential changes to the site that may impact on an expectation that the percentage of monitoring investigation levels will be lower than the monitoring cut off limit include:

         (a) predicted changes in fuel types and use;

         (b) increased industry or residential development; and

         (c) bushfire and fuel reduction burns.

         (vi)  A participating jurisdiction that intends to discontinue monitoring at a Stage 2 site in accordance with this section must provide written reasons for discontinuing monitoring at that site to the Council, including the reasons the participating jurisdiction reasonably expects that the percentage of monitoring investigation levels at the site will be consistently lower than the relevant monitoring cut off limits in accordance with Table 1.
