with Wyong Regional Chronicle senior journalist, Jackie Pearson, Mr Blaschke said he believed the studies being carried out on the site were too slow.
“We don’t know to what extent the PFAS is there,” he said.
“They are currently carrying out studies which I believe are too slow.
“They are doing fish testing in Lake Munmorah and Budgewoi Lake to find out if the fish have been affected.
“It’s serious enough for the site operators to put out letters to local people in Buff Point to say if you’ve got a bore, don’t use the water from the bore,” he said.
