Newcrest Mining Ltd's Cadia mine in Australia's New South Wales (NSW) state is facing a fresh investigation over emission of dust and other pollutants, the state's Environment Protection Authority said on Monday.
"The industry has strict obligations to meet clean air standards and currently Cadia appears to be falling well short of our expectations," said NSW EPA Chief Executive Officer Tony Chappel.
"Last week, the EPA received new evidence from the community to suggest actions by the mine to reduce dust pollution have not been effective." "We take our environmental obligations and the concerns raised by some members of the local community seriously," said Cadia General Manager Mick Dewar. The EPA has also written to the NSW Chief Health Officer requesting a full health risk analysis to determine if mine dust is impacting the health of the community.Reporting by Harish Sridharan in Bengaluru; Editing by Shailesh Kuber

Fantasy Baseball: The current state of stolen bases through seven weeksThe 2023 MLB season will go down as the year when a bunch of rules changed, with many of those rule changes made explicitly to add more stolen bases to the game. Mission accomplished. Teams are averaging .70 steals per game through about seven weeks, which is the highest mark since 1999.
