Due to recent heavy rain the paddock contained lots of ponded water. The ponded water appeared free of hydrocarbons. The overland flow observed on the foreshore had lots of iron oxide present and iron oxide was also prevalent at the face of the cliff. 8 August 2016 Site inspected in conjunction with groundwater

The lack of vegetation in this area indicated that the ponding had been occurring for some time. Widespread minor vehicle and stock damage was noted on the cap and batters,
