SUBMISSION FOR INQUIRY INTO UNCONVENTIONAL GAS (FRACKING) January, 2015 I am Sandra Young, B.

Parliament of South Australia Natural Resources Committee Inquiry into: Unconventional Gas (Fracking) in the South East of South Australia Pursuant to section 16(1)(a) of the Parliamentary Committees Act 1991, the Committee is inquiring into potential risks and impacts in the use of hydraulic fracture stimulation (Fracking) to produce gas in the South-East ofSouth Australia and in particular: 1.

Executive Officer, Natural Resource Committee GPO Box 572, Adelaide SA 5001 Email patrickdupont@parliamentsa.gov.au To Natural Resources Committee, Re; Inquiry into Unconventional Gas and Fracking in SE of SA We understand that the Limestone Coast Protection Alliance Inc is writing a submission for this inquiry and that they do not support unconventional gas and fracking in the SE of SA for the following reasons; • potential for water contamination caused by spills, leaks, chemicals and accidents • potential for well integrity failure due to finite lifespan of cement and steel • potential for air pollution detrimental to health of natural environment, humans and animals • potential for industrialisation of landscape and loss of "clean and green" image • unsustainable competition with existing industries such as agriculture, horticulture, viticulture and tourism which will have a detrimental impact on local economy • unsustainable competition for finite water resources

Dr Harrington also raises relevant scientific questions and future work that should be undertaken to gain a clearer understanding of the hydrogeology and the associated risks arising from unconventional gas production (fracking). 2.
