LAKE Macquarie is certainly keeping representatives from the NSW Environment Proctection Agency busy. While residents continue to await answers on the cause that sparked the Mannering Park fish kill earlier this year, investigators are examining the circumstances around a discharge from Centennial Coal's Newstan mine that turned LT Creek black.
While there is no evidence to date that the incidents are connected, those who live living on the lake or visiting for recreation are entitled to be concerned that such freak events appear to be coalescing into something of a trend.
