Subscriber only ADANI S LATEST HEADACHE The company formerly known as Adani (now Bravus) faces a fresh headache after the state government confirmed this week it had launched an investigation into allegations of new environmental breaches at the enormous Carmichael coal mine. The Indian resources giant, which has previously copped fines for such violations, denies any wrongdoing. Greenies sparked the probe after claiming that a failure to prepare construction sites along the rail corridor to the mine had resulted in serious pollution and environmental damage last month as a result of flooding. Activists with the Mackay Conservation Group warned that the contamination had already potentially impacted waters flowing into wetlands and, ultimately, the Great Barrier Reef.
Bravus Mining has responded to a conservation group’s claim that construction sites on the Carmichael mine rail corridor has resulted in “serious pollution and environmental damage”.
Mackay Conservation Group alleges conditions the Queensland Coordinator General imposed on Adani’s North Galilee Basin Rail Project to protect nearby waterways from contamination may have been breached.
The group said this was because Bravus had failed to properly prepare construction sites on the rail corridor for the wet season.
The conditions require the development and implementation of erosion and sediment control measures.
The group has provided photos – taken about two weeks after heavy rainfall in December – of what it claims are the alleged breaches.
