If after investigation it is proven that the water releases actually exceeded authorised limits then certainly fine them & charge for the clean-up. There can be no argument with that.
"The ABC revealed last night the state's Environment Department could fine the mining giant for a "non-compliant release" from its north Queensland terminal last month.
Adani was granted a temporary emissions licence for "suspended solids releases" of up to 100 milligrams per litre, to cope with heavy rainfall caused by Cyclone Debbie.
But sources have told the ABC coal-laden water, exceeding authorised limits, passed through a monitoring location."
