timeline of events, page-4

I could no longer tolerate the deception by those in the KCCG & those supporting them so I had to speak out at the last meeting. When 5 weeks or so had elapsed following the meeting & there was no correction & no apology from Dorothy Pratt in the South Burnett Times, I felt compelled to take it further.

Yes, I will be following her up on her amended Timeline of Events chart as it is still misleading apart from the very obvious error "Ken Walker".

Len Walker said that the maximum level of Benzene recorded at a monitoring well was 2ppb & this has been acknowledged by DERM. This is from the DERM website:-

"What have been the test results to date?

All of the sampling carried out to date by both Cougar Energy and DERM indicates that benzene has only been detected in one bore (monitoring bore 37) at a maximum concentration of 2 parts per billion (above drinking water guideline of 1 ppb).

Further, all of the sampling carried out indicates that toluene has been detected in one bore (monitoring bore 38) at levels between 4 and 45 parts per billion (well below drinking water quality guideline for health of 800 ppb). Toluene has also been detected at the limit of detection (0.1 ppb) at 2 sites within a 1 km radius of the plant. Neither toluene or benzene has been detected at the other sampling sites at this time.

It has been reported in the media that monitoring undertaken by Cougar indicated that benzene had been detected at 84 parts per billion in monitoring bore 38, and that toluene had been detected in a privately owned bore known as the Plantation bore, which is located approximately 1 kilometre from the plant. The laboratory that undertook the analysis has provided both Cougar and the Department with written confirmation that this test result is not valid, it made an error with both the 84 ppb benzene result, and the detection of toluene at the Plantation bore."

Can I suggest that some of you guys request a copy of the "TIMELINE OF EVENTS" from Dorothy Pratt. Once you receive it you can then exert some pressure on her.

By the way I have forwarded a copy to Cougar Energy but this is just the start of my campaign.
