PFAS Disposal

40 Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (29 April 2020). How many residents from Seaford Heights, Seaford Rise and Maslin Beach were proactively consulted about plans for a PFAS dump at the corner of Main South Road and Tatachilla Road, McLaren Vale?

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Minister for Environment and Water): I have been advised:

The EPA engaged with residents within the 60 metre statutory notification boundary and advertised in The Advertiser about Southern Waste ResourceCo's application to receive, treat, store and dispose of waste contaminated with per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at its existing EPA licensed landfill site.

Furthermore the EPA also undertook a wider community engagement process than required under legislation, including a media release to Adelaidenow, AAP and InDaily on 6 April 2020.
