Submission to Ranger and Jabiluka Senate Inquiry
I ask
the Senate Inquiry to recommend:
- an overhaul of the present environmental
regulatory regime, to provide
greater transparency and independence;
-
greater involvement of traditional Aboriginal owners in the establishment
and
oversight of any new environmental monitoring and reporting regime;
- more
statutory monitoring points at both operations and a greater
frequency of
monitoring;
- event-based monitoring, whereby weather events trigger
immediate response
monitoring;
- that the so-called 'limit' for uranium
concentrations detected in Kakadu
National Park downstream of the operations
be reduced from 5.8 parts per
billion to 0.5 parts per billion.
- return
unprocessed ore down the Jabiluka decline, which can be cemented i=
n
and
revegitated
