Mod 2 - Deferral of Salinity Reductions

I object to the proposed modification of the Springvale Mine consent that would allow mine water treatment to be deferred for two more years. This consent modification proposal would cause on-going pollution of the Coxs River catchment, the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area and Sydney's drinking water resources with toxic metal salts. Centennial Coal must not be granted legal relief arising from its foreshadowed default on the mine water discharge standards that it had previously agreed to with regulatory authorities.

Mine water discharges to Sawyers Swamp Creek that immediately flows into the Coxs River that is part of Sydney's drinking water catchment. Managing Director and CEO of Centennial Coal wrote to the Environment Protection Authority on May 29, 2015 to say that `Centennial acknowledges and agrees to the EPA's proposal for 700/900 EC limits as discussed in your letter'. The Planning Assessment Commission then placed these conditions in the September
2015 consent. I support the company's plans to remove mine water from Sydney's drinking water supplies by 30 June 2019 but Centennial Coal must be required to meet its consent obligations as agreed when the mine was approved.

Centennial Coal must install a temporary water treatment facility to meet the terms of its development consent so that mine water flowing into drinking water supplies receives at least a basic standard of treatment.

Further, this proposed consent modification is one of five modification proposals by Centennial Coal related to Springvale's mine water treatment.
The other proposals are: the mine water transfer, treatment and reuse at Mt Piper Power Plant; storage of treated mine water in Thompsons Creek Reservoir; the emplacement of waste from the water treatment plant; and effective treatment of highly polluting discharges from the emplacement area.

I request that these five proposals be considered together through the Department of Planning and Environment, and Planning Assessment processes.
Each proposal will not be properly understood unless these matters are assessed together.
