A group of protesters today lunchtime in front of Centennial Coal's head office chanted slogans seeking pure drinking water, not mine waste; and World Heritage and nationally endangered swamps protected from mining.
Centennial Coal please:
- Clean up the Wollgangambe River.
- Stop polluting of the Wollgangambe River with 19ML/day of toxic mine effluent.
- Don't continue to pollute the Coxs River with 23ML/day of toxic mine effluent.
- Protect endangered swamps on Nerwnes Plateau - they are a part of Australia's national heritage
Kate Smolski of the Nature Conservation Council of NSW; Brian Marshall of the Blue Mountains Conservation Society; Isabell Macintosh of the Protect Sydney’s Water Alliance; and Keith Muir of the Colong Foundation for Wilderness addressed the assembly.
