Abstract AGL Energy Pty Ltd owns and operates the Camden Gas Project in the Southern Sydney Macarthur region and are currently extracting water and methane from the underlying Illawarra Coal Measures. Within the Macarthur region are two groundwater monitoring sites located at Menangle Park and Denham Court. At each site has four monitoring bores established to monitor the groundwater levels and allow water quality testing. These monitoring bores enable the characterisation of the local groundwater system and an assessment of impacts from coal seam gas extraction on the groundwater system. The Menangle Park monitoring bores are within 100 metres of active production bores whereas Denham Court is ~15km outside the current Camden Gas Project. Both Menangle Park and Denham Court monitoring bores record the groundwater levels of the geological units such as alluvium, the Wianamatta Group and the Hawkesbury Sandstone. Groundwater level hydrographs assess and compare the recharge/drawdown characteristics. In addition, water samples were taken from the Menangle Park monitoring bores (MPMB01, MPMB02, MPMB03 and MPMB04), the nearby production bore (MP17) and the Nepean River. The samples were measured for major ions, elements, radioisotopes and stable isotopes. The techniques involved AMS, CRDS, EA-IRMS, IC and ICPMS. The results characterised the Hawkesbury Sandstone at Menangle Park into an ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ level separated hydrogeologically by a 12 metre thick shale layer. The ‘upper’ level was dated at 600BP whereas the ‘lower’ level was dated between 14,500-16,000BP. The hydrogeochemistry of the coal seam water was significantly different to the Hawkesbury Sandstone however, the age calculations were unrepresentative and unreliable. The water quality was assessed in the Hawkesbury Sandstone and was found to be relatively fresh whereas the Bulli Coal Seam was saline. Interpretation of these results suggests no or negligible hydraulic connection between beneficial aquifers and the coal seam aquifer. Based on this the author concluded that there is negligible impact from coal seam gas extraction on the Hawkesbury Sandstone. However, the data available did not enable the author to make an assessment for the likelihood of long term impacts from coal seam gas extraction.

Erik Bartrop Date: 14/10/2014 ii Acknowledgements I have a multitude of appreciative thanks and gratitude to several people whom supported, guided and encouraged me throughout this project. I want to give my first thank you to AGL Energy for the opportunity to conduct an independent Honours research project within the Camden Gas Project. I would like to thank Dr Helen Price for her instructions and patience in the ion chromatography laboratory. I thank Dr Lily Yu for her contributions to my ICPMS results. Professor Allan Chivas, for his openness to give feedback, as well as guidance with isotopes and hydrogeochemistry, thank you. Dr Sam Marx gave important feedback and critique early on in the project on the fundamentals, thank you. Dr Marijka Batterham, for her help with hydrograph analysis which I could not have done alone, thank you. Heidi brown and Alexandra Ulrich always gave more than enough help which made this project so much easier and clearer, thank you. Supervisor Professor Brian Jones offered his critic, knowledge, guidance and experience which were used to establish project goals, thank you. Nicola Fry of AGL was invaluable to this project, her kind logical feedback and devotion to ensuring I understand concepts was exemplary, thank you. Dr Dioni Cendon of ANSTO gave many hours out of his own working time to explain difficult concepts and ensure my commitment to critical thinking, thank you. Supervisor Dr John Bradd opened up the world of hydrogeology and isotopic analysis to me. His attitude was to work with me towards success and open my mind; he courageously endured many emails a day from me and responded immediately, thank you. Finally I would like to thank Keira Webb for her support, encouragement and those early morning coffees which ensured success, thank you. iii Abstract AGL Energy Pty Ltd owns and operates the Camden Gas Project in the Southern Sydney Macarthur region and are currently extracting water and methane from the underlying Illawarra Coal Measures.

  • Camden Municipal Council Area Street Names
    CAMDEN MUNICIPAL COUNCIL AREA STREET NAME SOUTH CAMDEN Adelong Place The name Adelong appears to be derived from the Aboriginal language meaning "along the way" or "plain with a river". Antill Close Named after the Antill family of “Jarvisfield” Picton. Henry Colden Antill who was born in 1779 in New York of British stock, his father was John Antill. Henry migrated to Sydney on 1/1/1810. Married Eliza Wills in 1818 and in 1825 settled on his estate near Picton, named Jarvisfield; and, in 1844 he subdivided part of his estate on the north of Stonequarry Creek, as the result he made possible the founding of the town of Picton (originally known as Stonequarry). He died and was buried in the family vault at Jarvisfield, in August 1852, survived by six sons and two daughters. Picture of Henry Colden Antill Araluen Place The name 'Araluen' meant 'water lily' or 'place of the water lilies' in the Aboriginal dialect of the Araluen area of NSW Armour Avenue Named after Robert William Armour born 1848 worked at the”Hermitage” The oaks in 1845. A noted bushman and expert horseman. In the early 1850s he brought land at Cobbitty. Son George was a prominent apiarist and well known keen sportsman, barber and poet.

  • Possible Outline of Research Design
    13 2.0 Historical Background 2.1 Development of Sydney7 From its establishment in 1788 Sydney developed rapidly into a dominant, large and urbanised city. This was not the original intention of its founders who expected New South Wales to take its place within a network of trading centres, channelling raw materials and acting as an administrative centre. Therefore, the colony was not supposed to manufacture goods and, to the ruling classes, was a difficult entity to explain. In Britain urbanisation was the product of industrialisation.8 Sydney 1788 - 1830 Aboriginal people had been living in the Port Jackson estuary and wider area for tens of thousands of years, although they left little evidence of their occupation on the landscape. Following British settlement at Port Jackson in 1788 the landscape changed rapidly, in a short period of time. The colony embarked on an extensive land clearance program with the aim of cultivation. This proved unsuccessful and eventually the main food production took place further west, on the Nepean and Hawkesbury Rivers. Poor land cultivation practises promoted incredibly high erosion, resulting in increased sedimentation in the Port Jackson estuary and surrounding watercourses.9 Within a week of landing the Governor’s house had been constructed, tents had been erected and some small huts compiled from bush materials. A hospital and storehouses were constructed within the first five months. By 1790 more substantial store buildings were being constructed, as increasing amount of produce came from the river regions, and goods were imported. Also around this time allotments started to be fenced and rough streets and lanes laid out.
