Alcoa’s Western Australian operations are subject to environmental regulation under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 and are licensed by the Department of Conservation (DEC). We are committed to meeting the terms and conditions of our environmental license and environmental approval conditions.
Environmental Protection Licence
Alcoa’s mining environmental licence is administered by the DEC which sets limits and other conditions to ensure environmental impacts are controlled.
There are a series of checks and balances in place to ensure Alcoa meets the limits and requirements of our environmental licence. These include monitoring and reporting, auditing and inspection of operations and procedures and a process of continuous improvement.
Alcoa follows the international environmental management system framework (ISO14001) to ensure we meet the requirements of our environmental licence and the commitments made in this EIP.
Alcoa’s Huntly and Willowdale Mines have legislation and a number of licenses and agreements by which they are permitted to operate.
