The long-term average annual extraction limit for each groundwater source specified in clause 4 (1) is set out below:

(a) 14,684 ML/year in the Botany Sands Groundwater Source,

(b) 7,005 ML/year in the Coxs River Fractured Rock Groundwater Source,

(c) 53,074 ML/year in the Goulburn Fractured Rock Groundwater Source,

(d) 2,456 ML/year in the Hawkesbury Alluvium Groundwater Source,

(e) 645 ML/year in the Maroota Tertiary Sands Groundwater Source,

(f) 27,206 ML/year in the Metropolitan Coastal Sands Groundwater Source,

(g) 7,039 ML/year in the Sydney Basin Blue Mountains Groundwater Source,

(h) 45,915 ML/year in the Sydney Basin Central Groundwater Source,
