FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Environment Minister Bill Marmion has rejected Vasse Coal Management’s proposal to develop a coal mine north-east of Margaret River due to environmental risk concerns.
The announcement that Mr Marmion has backed an Environemental Protection Authority position against a coal mine is the second in as many days.
Yesterday Mr Marmion also supported the EPA’s recommendations against the Central West Coal mine south of Eneabba, touting environmental concerns.
Today Mr Marmion said in a statement it was likely there would be signifiant impacts or risks from the proposed mine in Margaret River on the Leederville and Sue aquifers.
The EPA found the proposal would be environmentally unacceptable in May, citing serious risks to important environmental values in the Margaret River region. Five appeals were received in objection to the EPA’s report, including one from the proponent.
”Margaret River is a unique region with important environmental values which should be protected. From an environmental perspective, this project is too risky,” Mr Marmion said in a statement today.
He will now consult with relevant decision-making authorities on whether or not the proposal may be implemented based on broader social and economic factors.
He is due to speak on the matter later today.
More to come.
