RATIONALE ACID COV,NEOJTS J7 BILLABONG:- This billabong is on J7 Creek which drains into Nagele Creek upstream of Ja Ja Billabong. It was intended to indicate oollution derived froo the planned ?ancontinental proce~sing area, however other sites need to be added in this a~ea as this site does not completely achieve the objective. Although the waterhole nay be permanent, water is not p~ese~t all year at the sam9ling site. I I I 1 I I This site was first sav.9led by ~10 SS in December, 1978 I (first flow).
