FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Coal seam gas company Arrow Energy is considering dumping tonnes of salt at a southeast Queensland landfill site.
Swanbank’s landfill site, near Ipswich, has been earmarked as a possible place to offload unwanted salt from Arrow’s Surat gas fields, stretching from Wandoan to Goondiwindi in the state’s southwest.
Arrow’s environmental impact statement (EIS) says it “assumed that all brine concentrate will be trucked to Swanbank”.
Landholders and green groups say Arrow wants to dump up to 2.9 million B-double truckloads of salt from its Surat activities at Swanbank.
But an Arrow spokesman told AAP landfill was one option being considered, admitting the company was not sure what to do with the salt.
Arrow estimates up to 3.5 million tonnes of salt will be brought up from Surat coal seams over 30 years.
“Arrow is considering several options for managing salt, including our preferred option of processing for beneficial use, injection into an aquifer, pipeline to the ocean or disposal to regulated landfill,” the spokesman said in a statement.
He said Arrow and two other CSG companies were investigating the potential to create marketable salt products out of the byproduct.
Heidi Ross, from anti-CSG group Lock the Gate Alliance, says Arrow’s EIS lacks detail.
“They need to come up with a fully considered sustainable option, not speculate on what to do with it,” Ms Ross told AAP.
“We hope the government would not approve this project based on the EIS.
“As farmers we know how the lethal combination of salt and soil is and we want to know the details on what exactly they’ll do with it.”
Objections to Arrow’s EIS close on Thursday, June 14.
