EPA can't provide an approval. That's the ministers job. The EPA can only provide a recommendation on whether it should be approved or not and the associated conditions. If we have not presented at a monthly EPA meeting yet (which I don't believe we have), then unless we are at the October meeting (I understand that we are not) then ministerial approvals won't happen this year considering condition review periods, appeals periods etc.
