The Queensland Government has charged coal miner Adani for allegedly releasing sediment water eight times over the allowed limit into the Great Barrier Reef.
The Department of Environment and Sciences has charged the Adani-owned Abbot Point Bulkcoal with breaking a temporary emissions license over the discharge at the Abbot Point coal terminal during Cyclone Debbie in 2017.
The matter is set to be heard in the Bowen Magistrates Court on October the 23rd. The maximum penalty is $2.7 million.
