It is from this viewpoint that members of DEA are deeply concerned by
the serious threats posed to health by fracture stimulation (fracking) for
unconventional (whether coal seam, shale, or tight) gas in the South East
of South Australia.

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 walking, cycling, canoeing and caving
• air, noise and light pollution and potential for odour impacting on health, enjoyment
