ALLENBY GARDENS/FLINDERS PARK GROUNDWATER PROHIBITION AREA

In reply to the Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (21 February 2013).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation): I have received this advice:

The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has relied on groundwater assessment data from 2004 to 2008, August 2010 and November 2011 to support the need for a prohibition area.

The EPA is satisfied that site contamination affects or threatens groundwater and action is necessary to prevent actual or potential harm to human health.
