Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (DNRME) engaged Synergy to undertake the remediation of waste sludge storage dams at the former Linc Energy site in Hopeland, QLD. The site was formerly managed by Linc Energy who used the area to perform underground coal gasification trials which ultimately failed. In June 2016, Linc Energy disclaimed the site and DNRME took over the management. Since then, DNRME have been investigating, isolating, decommissioning, decontaminating and dismantling facilities at the site.
