Company’s site. However, during 2020 concentrations in one monitoring bore (but not other down gradient
bores in close proximity) showed a large increase in total nitrogen. Concentrations in this bore have
declined since the peak in 2020, and even further during this monitoring period. It is important that
monitoring continues because levels remain elevated.
