Background This project seeks to indentify through surface water monitoring, the source/s that are contributing to the elevated electrical conductivity (EC) values at the Gulungul Creek upstream site (GCUS). It is critical to identify if these high EC occurrences are natural or mine related. Mine related sources need to be addressed in order to prevent any potential environmental degradation. Progress against plan Project was started in 2015, with a literature review conducted and divers installed along tributaries of Gulugul Creek prior to the 2015-16 wet season. Project resumed in September 2016 with analysis of the diver data and a plan is currently being formulated to install the divers for the 2016-17 wet season and subeqeuntually report on the findings.
