Share
BHP is facing a groundwater contamination challenge at its iron ore mines after detecting the same dangerous chemicals that have been found at Australian Defence Force sites and on Victoria’s troubled West Gate tunnel project.
WA’s Department of Water and Environmental Regulation has raised concerns about a potential threat to human health, including to mine workers, and the environment in ordering remediation work and a more detailed risk assessment.
The giant Mount Whaleback mine is part of BHP’s Newman hub. WA’s Department of Water and Environmental Regulation has classified Mt Whaleback as a contaminated site with remediation required.

Sunbury and Bulla residents are a step closer to having toxic soil from the West Gate Tunnel Project dumped in their backyard.
The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) approved waste management and recycling company Hi-Quality’s second Environment Management Plan (EMP) earlier this month. The decision paves the way for Hi-Quality to receive PFAS and asbestos-contaminated soil at the Sunbury Eco-Hub on Sunbury Road in Bulla.
The company’s original EMP was approved in September. However, Hi-Quality was invited by the EPA to resubmit an EMP in December, after a legal review into the regulator’s process resulted in all tenderers’ EMP approvals being revoked.
