Environmentally relevant activities - Annual fees (other than mining, petroleum or gas) (chapter 4)

The annual fees for each threshold of an ERA are based on the environmental risk associated with an activity. This risk is represented by the aggregate environmental score (AES) which is calculated on the basis of an environmental emissions profile.
