One day after announcing an investigation into Cadia Valley gold mine, the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has held a community information session in the village of Millthorpe, New South Wales.
Key points:
- Community members were given the opportunity to arrange water and blood tests at the session
- Residents were told to monitor the EPA website for additional information and advice
- Some felt that the session was a good start, but hoped for ongoing support
More than 40 residents attended after learning that heavy metals had been discovered in people’s drinking water and bloodstreams.
