Bowdens Silver

I am concerned that:

This project will cause the creation of large areas of potentially acid forming waste rock and tailings placed in containments that are unproven in long term performance and appear difficult to construct to design

The risks to human health have not been properly assessed. This mine will generate dust containing lead and is too close to Lue and too close to Lue School.

There are significant risk of surface water and groundwater contamination and this project will use a lot of water.

Daily transport of explosives, toxic chemicals and increased heavy vehicle traffic will create a significant safety risk for the community.

This project is not compatible with other Mudgee businesses like agriculture, wine and tourism.

I submit that this Project Application should not be approved
