  Sorry something has happend and question marks " ? "  have replaced other punctuation marks from now on for some unknown reason

 

 

 

This Shell Service Station in Oyster Bay (in the Sutherland Shire) leaked fuel into the groundwater and the house in the second picture is one of six properties bought by Shell  downhill of the service station

 

Six properties in Oyster Bay, how much was that, and who pays?

"Shell decided to buy five nearby properties so that it might gain better access to the service station site for remediation work".  from the Leader article

 

Why would you need to buy 5 properties to "gain better access"?

 

I put it to you, (as a barrister would say )that the owners of the 5 properties weren't too happy with the EPA findings of what flowed under their properties, and Shell Australia bought the problem.  and it appears,     "might gain better access"?

 

 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

 

  There was an explosion in Loftus near another service station

??????????????????????????????????????????????

 

 

   What else is happening to our ground water ????

 

 The EPA has helpfully listed on their website known  contaminated sites  that were caused by accidental leaks or negligence

 .......................................................................................................................................................................................

 

 List of NSW Contaminated Sites Notified to EPA as of 14 February 2014

 

 http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/resources/clm/docs/pdf/publiclist.pdf

 

 

 

 

  I counted the number of service stations and fuel depots (past and present)on the list of contaminated sites on the EPA link above, and there were  156 and that wasn't even all the C's

The list is 66 pages long.

 

 Below is  page 6 and has the A?s

 

 Does the list contain all contaminated sites in NSW?

 

No. The list only contains contaminated sites that the EPA is aware of, with regard to

its regulatory role under the CLM Act. An absence of a site from the list does not

Necessarily imply the site is not contaminated.

 

 

And the government wants to allow dangerous chemicals to be pumped into coal layers at high pressure under ground water to extract gas to be sold overseas.,   heaven help us.
