The source of an oil leak in the Santos plant on the Upper Spencer Gulf has been found amid fears the it could have contaminated the delicate marine environment. Oil leaking from the Port Bonython plant had already contaminated groundwater in the area, but the company made the leak public only after concerns the leak could reach the sea. A Santos spokesperson said an underground barrier wall was then built to prevent contamination of the marine environment. "The process (of checking the plant) has identified three small holes in the floor of one tank, " the spokesperson said. He said remediation of the groundwater would now begin. The Save the Point Lowly group was outraged the leak had not been made public immediately. -- MELISSA MACK Full story on page two of today's Independent Weekly. Oil leak BREAKING NEWS
