"Contaminated water likely from agriculture
CONTAMINANTS found in water samples from a private property
in Queensland's southeast were most likely from agricultural practices, environment minister Vicky Darling has said.
The Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) says the incident is not connected to coal seam gas or BTEX chemical compounds.
The department took water and soil samples from multiple locations on the property and the nearby Cougar Energy site after formaldehyde and thiocyanate were detected during routine water sampling at landholder properties and from groundwater bores in Kingaroy.
The most likely source of the contaminants was the result of recent or historical agricultural practices, the investigation found.
Both chemicals are common components in a range of agricultural products, Ms Darling said.
Thiocyanate is often used in some herbicides. Formaldehyde can occur naturally and is also commonly used in a number of agricultural and industrial processes she said.
Neither formaldehyde nor thiocyanate was detected at any other off-site locations during the investigation.
DERM will continue its routine water sampling in the Kingaroy area , Ms Darling said. "
