Orica’s explosive plans for vineyard in upper Hunter Valley

Accident prone Orica plans to store 2000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, the explosives chemical at the centre of several leaks from its Newcastle factory, on the site of a Hunter Valley winery.
Orica is negotiating to buy the former Rosemount Estate winery near Denman in the upper Hunter Valley and has lodged development plans with Muswellbrook Council to build an ammonium nitrate storage facility, reports The Daily Telegraph.
