Lake Pieman - Bobadil discharge zone biomonitoring report 2014

This report details the 2014 results of the routine annual survey of shore biota in Lake Pieman, based on sampling conducted in autumn (April) 2014. This biological monitoring program assesses the ecological status of the area in Lake Pieman influenced by the discharge from the MMG Rosebery mine Bobadil settling pond facility. Previous surveys at this location, including those for the previous operators (Zinifex, Ozminerals), have been reported for spring and autumn every year from 2004/05 to 2012 (Davies et al. 2005, 2006a, 2006b, 2007 - 2013). The current operator (MMG) is required to report on a single annual survey of lake-shore biota in upper Lake Pieman, so a single autumn sampling was again conducted in 2014.
