JANGARDUP MINERAL SANDS MINE — ACID SULPHATE GROUNDWATER PLUME

1137. Hon DIANE EVERS to the Minister for Environment:

I refer to the former Jangardup mineral sands mine.

(1) How extensive is the acid sulphate groundwater plume in and around the former mine site?

(2) What maximum level of sulphate has been recorded in the groundwater plume?

(3) In what direction is the acid sulphate plume moving and at what speed?

(4) When is the acid sulphate plume expected to reach Lake Quitjup?

(5) What is the conservation status of Lake Quitjup?

(6) What measures are being taken to protect Lake Quitjup from the acid sulphate groundwater plume?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

Given the amount of detail required, it is not possible to obtain the information required in the time permitted. I ask that the member put this question on notice.
