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 fragmentation of native forest reserves and pine
forests
• Reduction in enjoyment of natural environment for bird watching, camping and walking
