| Subject: Whatever the statists touch turns to shit: EPA management of contaminated sites 'inadequate, inconsistent and unclear' Thu Jul 10, 2014 9:22 pm | |
| The Environment Protection Authority's management of contaminated sites in NSW has been criticised as inadequate, inconsistent and lacking transparency in decision making.
A report by NSW Auditor-General Grant Hehir also found the environmental regulator had no systematic processes for prioritising contaminated sites and there was a backlog of almost 800 sites awaiting assessment.
The report said 550 of them had been waiting to be assessed since 2009-2010, which means the public and local government "may have no knowledge of significant contamination, if present, at these sites".
