Today's report into lead contamination in the WA port township of Esperance has delivered a scathing assessment of the mining company that transported lead carbonate to the town, the port that loaded for it export and the WA Department of Environment and Conservation.

A WA parliamentary inquiry into lead contamination in Esperance says that failing to identify or prevent the pollution points to a lack of compliance culture within the state's environment department.
