(1) Yes, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) conducted sampling of the bore located at 900 Rockingham Road on 7 January 2004. The owner of the property advised the DEP that she was not using groundwater from this bore (No. MC-01) for drinking water. (2) I now seek leave to table the results of the analysis (Attachment 1). All sample results are below the relevant drinking water guidelines.
