The NSW Environment Protection Authority alleges Delta Electricity, which owns Vales Point Power Station, is responsible for the deaths of thousands of fish at Mannering Park in 2022.
The New South Wales environment watchdog has lodged a case in the state's Land and Environment Court against the owner of Vales Point Power Station over a fish kill in Lake Macquarie.The action relates the second of two fish kills that occurred in 2022The fish kill took place at Mannering Park in September 2022 and the Environmental Protection Authority has been investigating since.
"As the matter appears to now be before the courts it is also inappropriate for Delta to comment further at this time".The EPA found a fish kill in the same area in August 2022 was due to natural causes.The EPA alleged Delta Electricity failed to maintain a chlorine dosing plant in "proper and efficient condition", which it said led to sodium hypochlorite being discharged into the water.
"We will continue to ensure Delta acts in accordance with its environmental responsibilities to prevent future events and protect the environment in Lake Macquarie. "Vales Point also releases really toxic pollution into our air, things like mercury, nitrogen oxides, and also super toxic fine particles.
