mean annual evaporation means the mean annual evaporation:
 (a) recorded at the landfill by a meteorological station that is established and maintained in accordance with the Bureau of Meteorology Guideline; or
 (b) if paragraph (a) does not apply—recorded by a Bureau of Meteorology weather station that:
 (i) is located nearest to the landfill; and
 (ii) records mean annual evaporation.
mean annual precipitation means the mean annual precipitation:
 (a) recorded at the landfill by a meteorological station that is established and maintained in accordance with the Bureau of Meteorology Guideline; or
 (b) if paragraph (a) does not apply—recorded by a Bureau of Meteorology weather station that:

 (ii) records mean annual precipitation.
mean annual temperature means the mean annual temperature:
 (a) recorded at the landfill by a meteorological station that is established and maintained in accordance with the Bureau of Meteorology Guideline; or
