A coal seam gas (CSG) operator denies claims contaminated water has leaked from a dam at a project in northwest NSW, killing various trees.
Narrabri resident Tony Pickard says he discovered dead ironbark, cypress and bull oak trees while driving through the Bibblewindi State Forest, about 40km southwest of Narrabri, on Friday.
He believes CSG exploration in the area by Santos has contaminated a dam in the forest.
"Based on what I've seen at other sites, it's definitely coal seam gas water that has leaked out of the system, and just spilt into the environment," he told AAP.
