If it were 'consistent' why was it not reccomended from the begiining...even blind Freddie knows the dumping waste water in the harbor is not tolerated !!!

Management Comment

TNG’s Managing Director & CEO, Mr Paul Burton, said: "Our in-house team has taken the proactive step of designing and evaluating a customised alternative processing option for the waste process water from the DPF.

"This approach is consistent with our broader strategic objective of minimising our environmental impact across various aspects of the Mount Peake Project, and building a world-class project which meets the highest possible standards in terms of ESG, environmental management and community engagement.

"The recycling of treated process water back into the DPF would not only remove the need for discharge via Darwin Harbour, it would also significantly reduce the annual input water required for the DPF that would be sourced from Darwin water options, which will further benefit the Darwin community.

"The evaluation of the WWTP is another example of the Company’s commitment to optimising the Mount Peake Project in an environmentally responsible manner, following on from the announcement of our recent partnership with SMS group for the production of green hydrogen energy for the Project."

This 'management comment' is more spin that spin king Shane Warne would have been proud of !!!

More reason for expertise in bringing this project to fruition....
