A holding pond at Woodview, west of Casino, used by coal seam gas company Metgasco to store waste water
COAL-seam gas company Metgasco has touted its environmental credentials in response to an allegation the company has illegally removed toxic waste water from holding ponds near Casino.
In a statement, the company said it had operated the ponds on the Bruxner Highway at Woodview, west of Casino, safely for four years.
The statement was issued in response to an allegation by anti-coal-seam gas group Lock the Gate Alliance Northern Rivers that the company may be carting water away from the ponds without authority.
The claim followed the revelation last month that approval for the ponds, which is required from the Richmond Valley Council, had lapsed in September 2010.
