The federal government of Australia has introduced a bill to allow a mining operator more time to clean up environmental damage left from a decommissioned uranium mine near Kakadu National Park, southeast of Darwin in the Northern Territory.

Energy Resources of Australia (ERA) – a subsidiary of mining giant Rio Tinto – shut down production at its Ranger uranium mine in January last year after 40 years of operation.

It has since been working to return the mine site to its original state, but the cleanup effort has become increasingly expensive and drawn out. In February ERA said the rehabilitation could cost up to AUD1.2bn (€816m $824m) more than expected and take two years longer than initially planned.

The rehabilitation was originally estimated at AUD973m, but in a statement to the Australian stock exchange in February, ERA revised costs to be approximately between AUD1.6bn and AUD2.2bn.
