We have a very short window of opportunity to tell them otherwise. Submissions are needed by 23rd April 2014. TODAY IS THE LAST DAY! BHP are planning on digging the largest underground coal mine in the world under our very best farmlands, on the Liverpool Plains in north-west NSW. The Liverpool Plains is important and unique because it combines exceptionally fertile volcanic soils with high output aquifers and reliable summer and winter rainfall. But it is under threat from this staggeringly large underground coal mine. A mine that will cut through aquifers and risk draining the precious groundwater. Most extraordinary is the fact that BHP has decided that the mine will NOT have a significant impact on water resources and has told the Federal Government that it doesnt trigger the water clauses in the Federal environment laws. Please take one minute to send an email to protect our national food-bowl, the Liverpool Plains, and the rich groundwater supplies it depends on. The email will be sent from you to Federal Environment Minister, Greg Hunt, and the Federal Environment Department. Please personalise your message so it has more impact - write your own subject line and amend the email text to add your own thoughts and concerns.
