Splitters Creek

This page is still under construction. Most of the links are here but the story hasn't been fleshed out yet. Please be patient - there's been a lot going on! - and do feel free to explore the fragments that are here. It's all one big story.

A home for all things Splitters Creek.

Because of under-regulation the mine has not been able to deal with the "excess" groundwater it extracts from the Costerfield aquifer systems to enable its underground operations. 

To appease the mine and make up for their shortcomings, the regulators have permitted an Evaporation Facility to be constructed in Costerfield. This series of evaporative terraces ending in a storage dam is to be built on a 30Ha paddock of viable farming land, just a few hundred metres from a number of ongoing farming concerns, including the chemical-free lamb enterprise of Mr Colin Leask and Ms Pamela King (who also runs a pony stud). 

Antimony has been linked to reproductive abnormalities.

This page is under construction.

In coming days and weeks, information on Reverse Osmosis, Evaporation and the Splitters Creek Hydrogeology and the battle for a chemical-free farm. Agricultural best practice threatened by mining under-regulation.


Here's a beginning.
