Abstract

The Ordinance under Part II provides for quality of waters (controlled waters and water used for processing fish products). If it appears to the Governor that any marine waters need protection or improvement in order that they or any part of them may support fish, shellfish or crustaceans, or fish, shellfish or crustaceans of a particular description, he may by order designate those waters, and any inland waters (whether natural or artificial, or above or below ground) which discharge either directly or indirectly into those waters, as controlled waters. The Governor may also prescribe by regulation a system of classifying the quality of controlled waters and by order specify the water quality objectives. Monitoring pollution of controlled waters is a function of the Director. Pollution of controlled water (section 7) is prohibited, this include: enter of poisonous, noxious or polluting matter, solid waste matter (7.1); discharge of trade effluent either directly or through any drain or sewer (7.2); enter or discharge of effluent or other matter either directly or through any drain or sewer that has been prohibited by the Governor through regulation (section 9); enter matters in any inland waters so as to tend (either directly or in combination with other matter which he or another person causes or permits to enter those waters) to impede the proper flow of the waters in a manner leading, or likely to lead, to a substantial aggravation of pollution of controlled waters due to other causes, or the consequences of such pollution. A person does not contravene section 7.1 or 7.2 in respect of the entry of any matter into any waters or any discharge if the entry occurs or the discharge is made under and in accordance with, or as a result of any act or omission under and in accordance with, a consent under section 10 (the Governor may issue a consent to the discharge of trade effluent or sewage effluent into controlled waters for such minimum term and subject to such conditions as he thinks fit); or a licence under Part II of the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985. The Governor may by regulations specify the standards with which water used for washing or otherwise processing fishery products must comply.
