In reply to the Hon. M.C. PARNELL (2 February 2021).

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services): The Department for Environment and Water has advised:

The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has regulatory responsibility for the Dry Creek salt field in collaboration with the lead regulator, the Department for Energy and Mining (DEM).

Operations of the Dry Creek salt field operator, Buckland Dry Creek Pty Ltd, are under the specific management of the Mining Act 1971 through the Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation under the mining lease.

The EPA licenses Buckland Dry Creek Pty Ltd under the Environment Protection Act 1993. This licence can be viewed by the public using the EPA's online public register.

As with all businesses undertaking activities in South Australia, Buckland Dry Creek is subject to the Environment Protection Act 1993. This includes the requirement to comply with the general environmental duty, that is to take all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or minimise environmental harm.
