flag EPA calls pollution incident after Coxs River salinity spiked near Centennial Coal mine, threatening wildlife.

flag The EPA issued a clean-up notice after salinity in the Coxs River near the Centennial Coal mine spiked to 4,270 μS/cm, far above natural levels, threatening native species like platypuses. flag Though nickel levels (377 μg/L) were below legal limits, they exceed the 10 μg/L threshold considered safe for aquatic life. flag The EPA’s classification of the event as a pollution incident marks a shift in enforcement, drawing support from environmental groups concerned about broader mining impacts, including swamp drainage and land subsidence threatening the Gardens of Stone National Park. flag Centennial Coal has not commented.
