ABOUT 500 litres of contaminated waste water has leaked from a coal seam gas well in northern NSW.
The spill, which occurred on Tuesday at a Santos gas field at Pilliga forrest, south of Narrabri, is being investigated by the NSW Environment Protection Authority.
Santos has downplayed the incident, saying "there was no impact to any nearby water source and no risk to the environment."
"The water was contained within a surface diversion drain on site and was captured and returned to the holding pond," the company said in a statement.
But the Greens and The Wilderness Society say the leak proves coal seam gas is dangerous to the environment.
"Santos has a long tragic history of failure in the Pilliga forest, with at least 20 toxic coal seam gas waste water spills including uranium contamination and continuing leaks from evaporation ponds," Wilderness Society spokeswoman Naomi Hogan said.
