		• an independent hydrographical assessment of the flow and dispersal of effluent in Bass Strait is yet to be undertaken; and
		• there are no safe levels of dioxins and other persistent organic pollutants, and no approval should be given that allows discharge of these poisonous chemicals into Bass Strait and the ecosystems of our precious sea life.
