## When to use it

Use when EPA Victoria has issued an environmental action notice, an improvement notice, a notice to investigate, a prohibition notice, a waste abatement notice, or a verbal direction later confirmed in writing. The review time limit was not on the page that was opened.

## Used for these tasks

- [Respond to an environment protection notice requiring clean-up or prevention work](https://ailawframework.com/practice/planning-and-environment/respond-to-an-environment-protection-notice-requiring-clean-up-or-preven.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may copy the notice type, the actions and the due date from the notice into the file. The lawyer decides the response and whether to seek review or more time.

**AI may:**

- Enter the notice number, type, actions and due date from the document
- List the actions in the order they appear on the notice
- Flag a verbal direction that has no written confirmation on the file

**AI must not:**

- Must not advise that the notice is invalid
- Must not state a penalty or a review period
- Must not draft the technical response or a clean-up method

**The lawyer checks:**

- The type is one of the five the page lists, or it is a verbal direction
- The due date is the date on the notice
- A review or an extension is pursued on the current EPA page, which was not opened, and not from a period invented here
- A site management order is not treated as a remedial notice. The page distinguishes them
