EPA CONTINUES SURFACE WATER MONITORING IN THE BELUBULA RIVER

EPA

The EPA has recently completed its latest round of surface water sampling in the Belubula River, between Malaongulli Road, Mandurama and Canowindra. 

These results were similar to concentrations measured in the Belubula River in August 2024 but lower than those measured in October and December 2024.

Of the four samples collected, all showed PFAS concentrations well below recreational water quality guidelines, and PFOS slightly above ecological water quality guidelines. 

At the time samples were collected, officers observed low turbidity and a normal river height. No accumulated foam was detected at any of the sample collection sites. 

We understand residents are concerned about PFAS in the Belubula River and we have shared these results with the community.
