Narrabri Gas

I am writing in support of the Narrabri Gas Project.

I am a local born and bred. The only time I have lived outside of Narrabri was when I attended the University of New England in Armidale. My family has lived within Narrabri for over 30 years and in that time we have been heavily entrenched within local groups and community events.

My first preference after leaving university was to move back to my home town so I could be close to my family and school mates, which I was given this opportunity by gaining employment directly through the Narrabri Gas Project. If this project were to not go ahead, I would be forced to look outside of Narrabri and possibly outside the region to gain employment in my profession.

My local employment has gifted me the opportunity to buy a block of land within town and I am currently going through the planning stages of building a house on it with one of the local builders. I was married in Narrabri this year and am looking to start a family within Narrabri. My wife was originally from Manilla but moved to Narrabri five years ago establishing herself within the community, gaining employment at the Narrabri High School.

I believe that the Narrabri Gas Project will bring a wealth of opportunities for locals directly and indirectly. Adding to the diversity of industry that Narrabri currently has will provide economic stability for my town. It will also attract people to our town (as it did with my wife) which will help to assist local infrastructure by boosting numbers at the local schools, bring money to the town and provide potential for unique infrastructure projects such as the local heated pool. Community groups will also benefit with potential for higher numbers of registrations with junior and senior sporting groups (I have seen some clubs struggle over the years to stay afloat) and involvement of more helping hands with groups such as St Vincent de Paul and ongoing charity fundraisers such as Relay for Life.

Working directly on the project, I have witnessed the implementation of world leading technologies both within gas development and environmental management. The current workforce on the project is comprised of highly motivated locals who are focused on conducting their work to a high professional standard. We all take criticisms (usually based on emotive arguments from out of town protest groups or media outlets focused on producing negative news stories to attract audiences as 'negative news sells') against the project personally and take pride in knowing that we can counteract these arguments through this work that we implement. I believe that this high standard would continue throughout the life of the project and beyond as locals will always be integrated within the project both directly and indirectly.

The project to date has been subject to rigorous and numerous compliance conditions to the level not experienced anywhere else in the world. The company has always approached these in an organised and professional manner ensuring that these conditions are complied with as well as achieving practical outcomes even when compliance conditions do not focus on the achievement of production or environmental mitigation.

These above points give me the confidence that this project can be implemented safely with no significant environmental impacts. The Narrabri Gas Project will not impact negatively on the quality of life within the Narrabri and surrounding communities.

I hope that the Narrabri Gas Project is approved so that I can continue to live in my home town, add my own professional standard to the project and see my home town of Narrabri benefit from the project.

I object on cultural grounds on behalf of my daughters, who have Gamilaroi heritage through their father. The essential closure of sites prevents them from connecting with their culture fully at any time in the foreseeable future. The risks and consequences of fracking are becoming well known. It is a reckless and foolish course.

1. Due to the technological advances in agriculture, there is there is lessening of demand for employment in that industry.
2. Due to this lessening demand, prospective employees are looking for employment in other areas.
3. Again due to this downturn, people & families are leaving town causing extra pressure on an already subdued retail sector.
4. The approval of the Narrabri Gas Project will provide a much needed impetus caused by an influx of new workers & families to both commence & maintain the gas venture, thereby helping local businesses to stay afloat, financially AND employ workers.
5. More people creates more demand for services, more demand in turn creates higher employment opportunities that will encourage a more stable economic atmosphere for not only Narrabri & District but NSW & Australia.

From the NSW National Parls website
Pilliga Forest is an iconic Australian landscape; offering rugged beauty on a grand scale.
and
Pilliga Nature Reserve was created in December 2005. ... Nearly half the Pilliga forest is managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service to protect this unique area including the habitat of declining woodland bird species and a large koala population
and frtom Wikipedia
Fauna recorded from the Pilliga Nature Reserve include at least 40 native and nine introduced mammals, 50 reptiles and at least 15 frogs.
How can this pristine forest be turned into gas fields?

In the light of ever greater impacts of climate change projects such as these should not go ahead purely because we can not afford to create more CO2 by using this gas. On top of this coal seam gas is inherently risky and in this case all the more so due to its proximity to the artesian wells. The companies involved are very secretive about the composition of the liquids they use to flush out the gas and the risk of polluting the aquifers of the great artesian basin is by far too great. A responsible government working for the people of Australia would put the interests of the Australian people and future generations ahead of the interests of corporations such as santos.

I would like to object to any further developments of Cold Seam Gas by any Company and/or Organisation as it is my belief that there is No need for this type of Gas extraction. TheDestruction of the environment for no gain of the Australian people is equal to outright corruption by the Australian Government.

I object to the project as it is ruining the land and is a hazard. There are many more sustainable energy sources. As a person who lived in the Narrabri area for over 6 years until very recently, and as a person who visits the area regularly now, I cannot fathom how the CSG project has got this far. Just because Santos give out free stuff at the show, it doesn't mean that the people are in favour of the project.

As a fire fighter in the last major Pilliga fires, it was on our minds the hazard of the gas pipeline on the eastern side of the Newell Hwy and how close we were trying to get a backburner in before the fire could get to that pipeline. Had the fire reached there, our plan was to get as far away from there as possible. This, in turn, would put even more people's properties and lives in danger.

Every time I come to Narrabri now I begin to feel I'll. I was I'll most of the time in the last 3-4 years I lived there. When I left the area I began to feel well again. I believe it has everything to do with the air pollution as a result of the mines. The show weekend I became ill again, but about 24 hours later I was well. This affects my joints, my sinuses and my overall well being. It would be nice to be able to spend time in the area again and not become unwell. I look forward to that day.

We also have the issue of water and how much the CSG companies are being allowed to use in their operations whereas the land holders are allowed so much less to run their farms. There is also evidence at ground level of lack of water due to the vegetation changes.

It's time to put a stop to the destruction of our home lands. Time to stop the deals that enable this destruction.

I am worried for the future of agriculture... It is a known fact that all humans need food to survive, so why put Australia's food security at risk?

I object to the Narrabri Coal Seam Gas Project. The EIS statement is comprehensive, however there are segments that are unjustified. There is detailed research regarding the impact upon the environment and I understand that there has been tedious testing and experimentation involved with this scheme. Yet, there is just not enough research for this project to proceed. Testing three wells is not realistic when the actual project plans to establish 850 wells.

My family own a neighbouring property within range of this gas project and I am concerned for future water availability. The water supply used for this property is purely resourced from the Great Artesian Basin and with this project 34 billion litres of water will be extracted within the first five years (LTGA, 2017). Without this water source, the production of cropping and the development of livestock will diminish. The likelihood of me inheriting a dry block of land scares me. Nevertheless, I am not the only one with this apprehension...

The government needs to take a step back and assess the consequences of this project. It is not just an environmental issue, it is a health issue as well. The "Social and Health" section is extremely narrow and mainly targets the "lack of residency available for the rise in population". This is astounding bias and poorly researched. There is no accountability for the health and wellbeing of the bystanders of this project. "Emotional distress triggered by the CSG experience can undermine health... exposure to dangerous chemicals and industrial processes can result in serious physical injuries" (Dr W. Somerville). Research shows that there have been several cases where farmers have suicided due to the pressure of the coal seam gas industry, for example George Bender died in 2015. (ABC, M. Edwards, 2015).
For "co-existence" to work the gas industry needs to achieve as follows; access to agricultural land should only be done with the farmer's agreement and farmers should be fairly compensated, there must be no long-term damage to water resources used for agriculture and local communities and prime agricultural land and quality water resources must not be compromised for future generations (Domestic Gas Strategy, 2015). When observing the recent failure of "coexistence" in the Queensland Gas Project, I highly doubt the Narrabri Gas Project will be able to fulfil these requirements.

There is a need for common sense, we need the agricultural industry. There are cheaper renewable energy options. Just look at the destruction that the Queensland Gas Project has caused. If we allow this gas project to proceed, it will continue to grow, potentially harming the Liverpool Plains. If the government is for the people, then why not listen to those who produce your meals every day?

Our planet needs protection and these custodial partners see a future planet where the gas industry does not. Save the piliga

I wish to lodge my objection to the proposed plans to drill Coal Seam Gas Wells in the Pillaga.
This iconic forest is home to 28 nationally listed and 48 state listed threatened species.
The groundwater is essential to local farming projects especially in this period of low average rainfalls over some years.

The proposed Narrabri coal seam gas (CSG) project presents a short-term, short-sighted, option for NSW energy supply. The NSW government should be focused on long term, clean energy solutions with solar and battery storage playing a significant role. Coal seam gas is a finite resource where solar energy is not. One would expect that solar projects will create considerably more jobs over the long term than CSG - as the gas will inevitably run out.

Drilling 850 coal seam gas wells presents significant risk of contamination to ground and surface water in the region. Drilling to such great depths, will produce considerable drill `cuttings' which will inevitably runoff into surface water channels. Furthermore, it is highly likely that `greasing methods' using nasty chemicals will be required to reduce friction on the drill rods at such depths. All of which will make their way into the ground water supply. Moreover, it is likely that at least one of the 850 drill rods will get stuck due to friction while drilling at such depths. These rods will be left to leach metals into the ground water supply. Furthermore, the thousands of tonnes of diesel fuel required to operate drills will present a significant risk of diesel fuel spills in the Pilliga Forest, ultimately making its way into the ground and surface water.

Despite all of the environmental measures described in the EIS, one would be foolish to think that a project like this will not have a negative impact on water quality over the life of the project.

The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared by Santos describes connecting Narrabri gas into the existing `Moomba to Sydney gas pipeline.' However, the potential for connecting into the existing Queensland network and subsequently shipping the gas off-shore - while screwing the people of NSW - has surely been considered by Santos as a way of increasing their profits?

The area proposed for gas extraction is one of Aboriginal significance and presents opportunities for sustainable growth in tourism, in particular with the nearby Warrumbungles National Park. Have options to increase tourism in the area been considered in order to stimulate economic growth? Once a gas field exists, surely potential tourism will significantly decline. Who in their right mind would want to be anywhere near a gas field while on holidays?

Santos should be investigating opportunities to create clean, long term, renewable energy, that does not come from a finite resource. This project is not in the best interest of the surrounding communities as shown by community surveys that the government ignores. In the best interest of these communities and future generations, let's make NSW gas free and move to a cleaner, long term solution for NSW energy supply. I object to the Narrabri gas project.

Dr Gareth Williams

I wish to object in the strongest terms possible to the Narrabri Gas Project. It is ludicrous this is even being seriously considered.

This project places at grave risk precious water sources. The recharge area of the Great Artesian Basin with the highest recharge rates is almost entirely contained within the Pilliga East forest. In a worst-case scenario, the water removed for CSG extraction could reduce water pressure in the recharge areas--potentially stopping the free flow of waters to the surface at springs and bores across the whole Great Artesian Basin.¹

Creeks in the Pilliga run into the Namoi River--a part of the Murray Darling Basin. This system is vulnerable to contamination from drilling fluid spills and the salty treated water produced from the proposed 850 wells.

The Gamilaraay Traditional Custodians are opposed
There are hundreds of cultural sites as well as songlines and stories connecting the Gamilaraay to the forest and to the groundwater beneath. Gamilaraay people are deeply involved in the battle against CSG, and have told Santos they do not want their country sacrificed for a coal seam gas field. Their voices are not to be ignored.

Farmers and other local community reject the project
Extensive community surveys have shown an average of 96% opposition to CSG. This stretches across a massive 3.2 million hectares of country surrounding the Pilliga forest, including 99 communities. Hundreds of farmers have participated in protest actions unlike any previously seen in the region.

The Narrabri Gas Project has a long history of spills and leaks of toxic CSG water--Santos cannot be trusted to manage the project safely
Santos has already contaminated a freshwater aquifer in the Pilliga with uranium at levels 20 times higher than safe drinking water guidelines, as well as lead, aluminium, arsenic and barium². In addition, there have been over 20 reported spills and leaks of toxic CSG water from storage ponds, pipes and well heads. Santos cannot be trusted. I have seen first hand the spill at Bibblewindi and the "clean up" of this - the funneling of runoff water from the main spill site to a pipeline which... ends, a further 100 meters or so into the forest, to create a screen of trees between the first and the second dead zones.

The Pilliga is a haven for threatened wildlife. It is one of 15 nationally listed `biodiversity hotspots' and is vital to the survival of threatened species like the Koala, Spotted-tailed Quoll, Black-striped Wallaby, Eastern Pygmy-possum, Pilliga Mouse and South-eastern Long-eared Bat. The forest is home to over 200 bird species and is internationally recognised as an Important Bird Area². The Santos gasfield would fragment 95,000 hectares of the Pilliga with well pads, roads, and water and gas pipelines--damaging vital habitat and threatening the survival of endangered species. The lights, noise and traffic would disrupt and endanger all of these species, as well as the local human community.

Coal seam gas fuels dangerous climate change. Methane is by far the major component of natural gas, and is a greenhouse gas 72 times more powerful than CO2. CSG fields contribute to climate change through the leakage of methane during the production, transport, processing and use of coal seam gas.

Human health is compromised by coal seam gas. A range of hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds can be released into the air from coal seam gas operations, including flaring of gas wells. The effects of volatile organic compounds vary, but can cause eye, nose and airway irritation, headache, nausea, dizziness and loss of coordination⁴. These impacts have been documented in human populations nearby to existing gasfields in Queensland, Sydney and in America. I worked as a physiotherapist in Narrabri and would hate to see that clinic begin treating children with entirely preventable coordination and developmental issues.

The nation's premier optical astronomical observatory is at risk. The Siding Springs Observatory, situated in the Warrumbungles and adjacent to the Pilliga, is under threat from the Narrabri Gas Project due to light and dust pollution⁵. The area has been internationally recognised as a `dark sky park'⁶ and the 50m high gas flares proposed by Santos threaten the viability of the facility.

Thousands of tonnes of salt waste will result from the project.
Santos has no solution for disposing of the hundreds of thousands of tonnes of salt that will be produced. Between 17,000 and 42,000 tonnes of salt waste would be produced each year. This industry would leave a toxic legacy in NSW. The irony of producing extra salt in a country already fighting salinity seems remarkable.

Risk of fires would increase throughout the Pilliga's tinder-box conditions. Methane flare stacks up to 50m high would be running day and night, even on total fire ban days. The Pilliga is prone to severe bushfires. The project would increase ignition sources as well as extracting, transporting and storing a highly flammable gas right within this extremely fire-prone forest. Allowing this industry in these conditions, where people are living down long dirt tracks, with few exit points or water sources and so much dry fuel around would be utterly irresponsible.

I object to the development of the Narrabri Gas Project coal seam gas field in the Pilliga - or anywhere else for that matter.

As a member of the youth population I strongly believe that to safeguard our future we need to commit and transition towards a 100% sustainable future. The Narrabri gas field project presents just another obstacle towards this essential goal. This project poses significant threats to our two most precious water resources, the Great Artesian Basin and the Murray-Darling Basin. Both of these water resources are highly vulnerable to contamination and water removal. The project lacks support from the local community, the Gamilaraay Traditional Custodians to whom this land just as much belongs and the general Australian population. Not only this, but the Pilliga region is one of few remaining `biodiversity hotspots'. I am currently a conservation biology student, and it is generally understood that loss of biodiversity is the greatest threat we are facing today, with irreversible, catastrophic consequences, the likes of which we are already beginning to experience. The Pilliga project would further damage vital habitat and threaten the delicate ecosystem, already perilously existing in a state of limbo. The ecosystem is further put under threat not by just short-term consequences, but the long-term contribution of climate change this project will have releasing large amounts of methane, the biggest greenhouse contributor to warming climates, during production, transport, processing and use of coal seam gas. This project poses too many high alert risks to democracy, human health and the planet on which we rely. Please ensure we learn from our mistakes of the past, and we make drastic changes to our energy resources, before it is too late, if it is not already.

We have actually visited this uique pristine area It is truelly beautiful It deserves to be protected at all costs The varied wildlife is dependant on this area for their survival These gas companies have an abismal reputation for leaving destruction in their wake and never clean up properly either during or after their
use of land not to mention leaks etc Please do not allow this beautiful area to be touched an area we would love to visit again in the near future and find it in the same beautiful condition when we last visited there.

Absoutely NO from me for construction of 850 CSG wells in the Pilliga Forest - Gas field plan. Even ONE such extra CSG drilling site would be one TOO MANY! Regardless if it is a Santos application or any other gas/coal/oil - drilling company. Not only does a missing 'waste disposal plan' for the proposed project show the complete lack of accepting responsibility for their plan, the magnitude of such a crazy project turning some of the most valuable forest land and it's critical provision of quality groundwater being compromised by turning that huge area into an industrialised site for Santos profit shows the complete lack of universally recognised view to conserve and protect such significant environments places
Representing the largest temperate Woodland in eastern Australia, feeding the Great Artesian Basin - Just looking at the words on my screen make it clear what gem of land we are dealing with. Add to it the real pictures of the landscape on the ground, the people who walked it, before we arrived from other parts of the globe, the farmers who tend the land and care for it now and the communities that see the
Pilliga Forest area as their homeland and us, the rest of Ozies that are proud and appreciative that such valuable and cherished special places are part of our country is more than enough reason to reject the Santos gas field plan/proposal-
we don't need it. Not now not ever - instead we are looking at
renewable energy proposals emerging all over the place. This is what we want to encourage and support, for us and especially for future generations. We need sanctuaries that have been protected from profit hungry venture planners. We need clean and healthy water, air, biodiversity places not only for now but increasingly so for us the world to be able to share those benefits that will last for all living things to thrive and survive. Again - my rejection to Santos proposal.Pasta.

I completely object to the Narrabri Gas Project. It is preposterous that this is even being seriously considered.

This project puts precious water sources at grave risk. The recharge area of the Great Artesian Basin with the highest recharge rates is almost entirely contained within the Pilliga East forest. Water removed for CSG extraction is an enormous risk as it could reduce water pressure in the recharge areas--potentially stopping the free flow of waters to the surface at springs and bores across the whole Great Artesian Basin.¹

⁴Marion Carey Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA), Air pollution from coal seam gas may put public health at risk The Conversation, November 20, 2012

The Narrabri gas project is putting water resources at risk, and the traditional Gamilaraay Custodians are opposed to the project, as are farmers and much of the local community.
Habitat will be threatened, and the local Observatory will be negatively impacted upon as well.
Santos has been responsible for a long history of spills and leaks and on this basis cannot be trusted to clean up its act in the future.
The contribution to global warming from CSG gases and leakages is significant, and should be reason enough not to allow the project to continue.
The problem of the project's impact on human health, increased risk of bushfires and the issue of salt water waste also supports the call for the CSG Project to be dropped.

It will extract over 35 billion litres of toxic groundwater, much of it in the first five years. This water will be treated and in the early years will generate tens of thousands of tonnes of salt, for which there is no safe disposal plan

It will clear close to 1,000 hectares of the Pilliga Forest, fragmenting the largest temperate woodland in NSW, home to unique wildlife.

It will cause significant diversion of water from a recharge aquifer of the Great Artesian Basin, which is a water resource relied upon by rural communities across western NSW

It will lead to large deliberate and fugitive emissions of methane, adding to climate change.

It will cause more trauma to the regional Aboriginal community because the area of impact is crucially important to the spiritual cultural and social life of the Gamilaraay people.

It is not justified; Santos' own coal seam gas export activities in Queensland have caused gas prices to rise and supply to become unpredictable. NSW should respond to this by investing in more reliable and ultimately cheaper renewable energy, not by letting Santos inflict more environmental social and economic harm.

It will cause economic upheaval in Narrabri and put agricultural industries at risk, as well as causing light pollution that will ruin the dark night sky needed by the internationally renowned Siding Spring Observatory.

Coal seam gas is harmful to health. Neither the NSW government nor Santos have investigated or dealt with the serious health effects of coal seam gas now appearing in peer-reviewed research in the United States.

I urge the Government to reject this NGP project nd make the Great Artesian Basin recharge off-limits to gas mining

Dear fellow human being who needs oxygen to breathe, water to drink and healthy food for an awesome Life ;-)

Did you know every human needs about 22 trees (for oxygen, absorbing our carbon dioxide and pollution minimisation etc). Please wake up and educate Australians that we need to learn to live on less. We need to learn to work with the environment if we are to preserve our own species.

Did you know the Australian Government is sponsoring a friend of mine to do her PhD in Climate Science recognising it's a national security issue. Whether it's a natural cycle or humans have been a catalyst, we need to embrace and work with it which means protecting what natural resources we have left. It's a domino effect.

Protecting our environment is THE MOST important challenge facing THE WORLD today. Look at the FAILED example of the Arizona Biosphere! If we treat Mother Nature with disrespect you can bet she'll do the same and guess who will win?? We have nowhere else to go so we'd better treat the Planet (her only "habitable for humans" child) with life saving RESPECT!

Please stand strong and create new jobs by protecting, restoring and educating others about our natural habitat. Your grandchildren will be glad you did.

If you'd like more information let's have a chat ;-)

Yours sincerely,
Larissa Zimmerman
