Contents >> Mining >> Mining and the environment >> Waste disposal effects on groundwater quality

Because historical engineering designs and site selection of waste disposal sites in Tasmania rarely considered the potential for groundwater contamination, Mineral Resources Tasmania has undertaken a two-year National Heritage Trust funded project to:

  • identify aquifers vulnerable to pollution
  • examine existing waste disposal operations and assess levels of groundwater contamination
  • publish geological guidelines for the selection of future waste disposal sites in Tasmania
