quality water for cooling systems and boilers (low

calcium and silica), so have historically been built

available for use

in areas where access to water is assured. IPL

typically has access to regulated municipal water

supply or abundant fresh surface water or

groundwater as regulated by the local EPA. For

example, our Louisiana, Missouri (LOMO) site is

located on the Mississippi River, and our St

Helens, Oregon site is located on the Columbia

River. Cooling water also requires very low

sediment levels, so even fresh surface (river)

water is typically treated onsite prior to use. Where

sites are not located near abundant freshwater

supplies, long-term supply agreements are put in

place. For example, our Moranbah, Australia site

is supplied by Sunwater, who operates 19 dams

and 1,951 kilometres of pipeline. Sunwater stores,

captures and delivers around 40 per cent of the

water used commercially in Queensland to more

than 5000 customers.

Water withdrawals -

76-99

99% of our total water withdrawal volumes are collected via

total volumes

municipal water invoices, river water meters, groundwater

meters, on-site storm water treatment plant meters, and on-

site water recycling treatment plant meters for all

manufacturing sites under operational control except for

those listed at question W0.6a. (North American

administrative buildings, some very small distribution sites in

north America and several emulsion manufacturing sites in

north America and Chile, each of which do not use a lot of

water). IPL collects this data to enable our global water use

to be understood, and water intensity factors to be

calculated.

For our company, 'sites' and/or 'facilities' refers to all of our

sites and includes major manufacturing sites (which require

large volumes of high quality fresh water) minor

manufacturing sites (which require less water) and

distribution and office/admin sites, which require much less

water.

Water withdrawals -

76-99

Because 99% of our total water withdrawal volumes are

volumes by source

collected via municipal water invoices, river water meters,

groundwater meters, on-site storm water treatment plant

meters, and on-site water recycling treatment plant meters

for all manufacturing sites under operational control except

for those listed at question W0.6a. (administrative buildings,

some very small distribution sites and several emulsion

manufacturing sites which do not use a lot of water), water

source is also easy to monitor.

Water withdrawals

51-75

Due to the high quality of water required for non-contact

quality

cooling purposes, our St. Helens, Cheyenne, and Waggaman

ammonia manufacturing sites all test the surface and

groundwater withdrawn on a routine basis (not a continuous

basis). These sites represent 71% of our total global water

withdrawal and 30% of our nitrogen manufacturing sites.

Water discharges - total

100%

Water discharge volumes are collected via discharge meters

volumes

at 100% of IPL sites which discharge. This is typically

required, along with regular reporting, by regulators who

have granted the associated licence to discharge.

In Australia, all sites are 'non-discharge to the environment'

sites with the exception of a single site, in Brisbane,
