This investigation of the Brukunga mine site was prompted by the observed release of acid waters with high iron and other heavy metal concentrations into Dawesley Creek, the consequences of which could include possible pollution of Lake Alexandrina and damage to the limestone aquifer at Milang by dilute acid waters. Existing environmental conditions in and around the Brukunga mine, plus methods for alleviating the pollution such as creek diversion, evaporation, neutralisation and revegetation, were examined. Procedures by which Dawesley Creek could be kept free of polluted waters were recommended.
