Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 752 asked in the Legislative Council on 12 August 2020 by Hon Diane Evers

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

JANGARDUP MINE — GROUNDWATER QUALITY MONITORING

752. Hon DIANE EVERS to the Minister for Environment:

I refer to the revised groundwater quality monitoring program at the former Jangardup mine and my question without notice 137 asked on 20 February.

(1) Has the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation completed a review of the revised groundwater monitoring program that was provided to it by the proponent in January 2020?

(a) If no, why not, and when is it is it expected to be completed?

(2) If yes, will the minister please table the report; and, if not, why not?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

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

(1) No.

(a) The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation received an updated version of the plan in July 2020 from the proponent that addressed advice from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. DWER is expecting the review to be completed after receiving advice on the updated plan from the Environmental Protection Authority. The plan is anticipated to be finalised by the end of September 2020.

(2) Not applicable.
