ABC News - 4 March 2023
"Kingsley Dixon,
restoration ecologist and Director of the Australian Research
Council Centre for Mine Site Restoration, said it was even more
concerning given Alcoa recently came under scrutiny for contaminated
runoff from a bauxite mine near the Serpentine Dam, which supplies
almost 20 per cent of the city's drinking water.
"There seems to be a pattern of behaviour, which is a major
concern for water … and it's unclear the degree to which that has
gone into the aquatic ecosystems," he said.
"PFAS doesn't degrade. It's one of those compounds that sits in
the environment and we still don't fully understand its broader
impact, particularly in aquatic community."
Professor Dixon said that as a Waroona resident, he was particularly
alarmed, saying these were "controllable actions" and due diligence
was needed to ensure environmental care and consultation was done
with the community.
"I can only imagine, if your kids are swimming in that wonderful
area, you wouldn't want to know [there might've been] a bit of a
leak," he said.
"I'd be very comfortable to say that this is environmental
negligence.
"There is no other way to explain it, and by international
standards, if you're in any other place, such as the UK or the EU,
this would be very severely dealt with."
