[QUOTE="user 794, post: 578152, member: 794"] Here is an extract from the response by the NPWS on how MDing impacts on Sydney's water quality. "Fossicking, as a result of metal detecting, may disturb rocks and soils which may mobilise sediments and increase soil erosion in watercourses. This can negatively impact on the water quality in the Sydney drinking water catchment through water siltation or sedimentation, water turbidity, flooding and pollution through the increase in nutrient levels. The NPWS Fossicking Policy defines detecting as the use of electronic hand-held metal detectors and the small-scale excavation of the ground (to a depth of 0.5 metres) to locate minerals. The Mining Regulation 2016 (clause 12) states that a person fossicking must not disturb more than 1 cubic metre of any soil, rock or other material during any single period of 48 hours. Over time, the cumulative effect of soil disturbance associated with fossicking activities could pose risks to water quality." I've passed onto NAPFA the relevant papers I obtained in the GIPAA process. I'm done for now. [/QUOTE]
