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).

We expect a precautionary
approach from our regulators, and, if our water quality or quantity is damaged by
unconventional gas production in this location, we fully intend to recover any loss we incur
from any parties involved in the unconventional gas production.
