Residents spent considerable time, effort and resources in convincing the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal to instate a 10-9 m/s permeability condition at the Splitters Creek Evaporation Facility. The same was attempted at the VCAT hearing into the Brunswick and Bombay Pits.
And here it already is in the original permit signed by Bendigo Council... the same Responsible Authority that refused to apply permeability conditions matching this to proposed tailings facilities earlier this year.
In 2008, the standards at Costerfield (and across Victoria) were lowered to 10-8 m/s.
By whose authority? Who is responsible?
Why was it done/allowed to happen?
Why must we take on the authorities to claw back conditions that are 18 years old?
What is world's best practice and why don't we have that?
