Gloucester Gas Project
AGL is required under EPL 20358 to monitor water and soil quality and water levels, at specified points on the licensed premises, at various frequencies. These monitoring locations include AGL’s surface water monitoring sites (stream locations and dams), groundwater monitoring bores, gas wells, private water bores, and soil monitoring locations. The monitoring network is associated with AGL’s Gloucester Gas Project and specifically includes exploration activities associated with the Waukivory Pilot and Tiedman Irrigation Projects. The water and soil are sampled by third parties and analysed by NATA registered laboratories.
It is a legislative requirement that all sites with an Environment Protection Licence issued by the NSW Environmental Protection Authority prepare and implement a Pollution Incident Response Management Plan (PIRMP).
The information in the following links provides monitoring data which AGL is required to publish. The information has been prepared in accordance with the Requirements for publishing pollution monitoring data (EPA, October 2013).
Comprehensive quarterly surface water and groundwater monitoring reports for the Waukivory Pilot Project and Tiedman Irrigation Program are below.
