Action item 7.12

That prior to the grant of any further exploration approvals, to reduce the risk of contamination of surface aquifers from on-site spills of wastewater:

• the Environment Management Plan for each well pad must include an enforceable wastewater management plan and spill management plan;
• enclosed tanks must be used to hold all wastewater; and
• the well pad site must be bunded to prevent any runoff of wastewater, and be treated (for example, with a geomembrane or clay liner) to prevent the infiltration of wastewater spills into underlying soil.

Completed.
