EPA Victoria Priority Sites Register (PSR) - Location Polygons

The Priority Sites Register (PSR), maintained by EPA and publicly available since May 1990, is a current EPA service providing a list to the public. PSR is a list of sites in Victoria, where EPA has issued a notice requiring active management to clean up, monitor, or prevent pollution of land and/or groundwater contamination, specifically: Under the Environment Protection Act 1970: Clean Up Notice (related to land and groundwater) pursuant to section 62A  Pollution Abatement Notice (related to land and groundwater) pursuant to section 31A or 31B Under the Environment Protection Act 2017 Improvement Notice (related to land and groundwater) pursuant to Section 271  Prohibition Notices (related to land and groundwater) pursuant to Section 272  Environment Action Notice (related to land and groundwater) pursuant to Section 274  Site Management Order (related to land and groundwater) pursuant to Section 275  Typically, these are sites where contamination of land and/or groundwater presents an unacceptable risk to human health or to the environment. The condition of these sites is not compatible with the current or approved use of the site without active management to reduce the risk to human health and the environment.The priority sites data provides information about all current/active priority sites. Once a site has complied with notices it is removed from the PSR list. The PSR does not list all sites that are known to be contaminated in Victoria. A site should not be presumed to be free of contamination just because it does not appear on the PSR.

优先场地登记册（Priority Sites Register, PSR）由环境保护署（Environmental Protection Agency, EPA）维护，自1990年5月起对外公开，是EPA当前面向公众提供的官方服务，用于发布场地清单。PSR收录了维多利亚州内的相关场地，这些场地均被EPA发布通知，要求开展主动管理以实施场地清理、污染监测或防控土地及/或地下水污染，具体包括：根据1970年《环境保护法》第62A条发布的（针对土地与地下水的）清理通知、第31A或31B条发布的（针对土地与地下水的）污染减排通知；以及根据2017年《环境保护法》第271条发布的（针对土地与地下水的）整改通知、第272条发布的（针对土地与地下水的）禁令通知、第274条发布的（针对土地与地下水的）环境行动通知，及第275条发布的（针对土地与地下水的）场地管理令。
通常而言，此类场地的土地及/或地下水污染已对人体健康或生态环境构成不可接受的风险；若不开展主动管理以降低此类风险，该场地的现状将无法适配其当前用途或获批法定用途。
本优先场地数据集收录了当前所有有效的优先场地相关信息。当某场地完成所有通知要求的合规整改后，将从PSR清单中移除。需注意，PSR并未收录维多利亚州内所有已知受污染的场地，不可因某场地未出现在PSR清单中，就推定其未受污染。
