With reference to the Rey Resources Duchess
Paradise Coal Project Public Environmental Review (PER) released on Monday, 24
February 2014, which announced that it would be making 100 road
train movements 24 hours per day along Loch Street, Derby which equates to a
road train every 14.4 minutes on average, I ask: (a) why are the impacts of the diesel carcinogenic
pollution from Rey Resources 24 hour trucking operation through the centre of
Derby not dealt with in the PER; (b) will the Environmental Protection Authority
request that this omission will be addressed by way of a further addition to
the PER by Rey Resources; and (c) If no to (b), why not?
