A number of sites are being decommissioned due to the cessation of funding for the acid sulfate soil monitoring program. Sites that were installed to provide additional monitoring services were:
A4261123 D/S Hindmarsh Island Bridge (now remaining due to funding being secured)
A4261124 West Clayton Beacon 65
A4261155 Warringee Pt - Lake Albert
A4261202 Lower Finniss
A4261203 Currency Creek
A4261158 4km West Pomanda Point
A4261157 SE Milang
A4261156 W Pt McLeay
A4261200 D/S Wellington
A4261201 Tailem Bend
A4261127 Pompoota
A4261129 Beacon 75
Currently seeking funding for another 5 sites in addition to A4261123.
The annual operational costs for each site is approximately $7k/year. Lakes monitoring sites are more expensive than compared to sites upstream due to additional maintenance requirements.
