11 3 Executive summary of proposal and assessment Nationwide Oil (NWO) is a subsidiary of Transpacific Industries Group Ltd and is a provider of comprehensive waste and environmental services in Australia and New Zealand. NWO specialises in the collection, recycling and disposal of hydrocarbon wastes throughout Australia. NWO collects bulk and packaged waste hydrocarbons as well as solid wastes affected by hydrocarbons such as oily rags, filters and hoses and brings these to premises in Newman, Kalgoorlie and Welshpool for storage, treatment, recycling or aggregation. NWO also operates a forced feed evaporator in Kalgoorlie that treats waste oil to allow for its reuse. This amendment is an administrative amendment to remove category 62: solid waste depot from this licence and the associated conditions, as this is activity is no longer undertaken at the premises. DER has also taken this opportunity to extend the expiry date of the licence and update the registered office details. DER has considered whether the risk profile of emissions and discharges from the premises has significantly changed since the previous licence was granted. No (significant) changes have occurred and therefore DER has not amended conditions relating to emissions and discharges.
