EPA fines Benalla company over explosion and monitoring plan
Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) has fined Benalla particle board manufacturer Monsbent Pty Ltd (trading as D&R Henderson) more than $16,000 over two offences, including one that involved an explosion reported by a member of the public.
The second fine was for a monitoring plan that was inadequate to satisfy the conditions of the company’s EPA licence.
EPA North East Regional Manager Renee Palmer says the caller to EPA’s pollution hotline also described a plume of smoke rising from the premises.
“The explosion took place inside the facility, the local CFA Brigade was called to the premises and WorkSafe was notified, but the company did not report the incident to EPA,” Ms Palmer said.

Western suburb councils have slammed the state environmental watchdog’s decision to give the green light for toxic West Gate Tunnel soil to be treated in Ravenhall.
Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) announced on Friday it had approved an Environment Management Plan (EMP) for Cleanaway’s Spoil Management and Reuse Facility to accept and process soil contaminated with PFAS and asbestos.
The approval is the second granted to the site after EPA revoked an earlier approval amid concerns it may not have been granted legally.
It follows recent reapprovals for dumping at Maddingley Brown Coal in in Bacchus Marsh and the Hi Quality site in Bulla.

The proposed location of the facility is adjacent to Melbourne Regional Landfill in Ravenhall and is part of Cleanaway’s application to receive tunnel boring machine spoil from the West Gate Tunnel Project.
