DID THE M.O.E. KNOW ABOUT BORG TEXTILES BEFORE 1989?

The following paragraphs are from a May 1989 Report prepared by Canviro Consultants for Varnicolor Chemical at the request of the Ontario M.O.E..

Pg.19 " One concern which has been raised in previous monitoring reports is the possibilty of offsite sources. Without the accurate definition of these contaminant sources, any predictions concerning contaminant fate is less then accurate. Presently, several lines of evidence suggest that an offsite source(s) could be responsible for much of the groundwater contamination experienced in the area.
The contamination identified in the Howard St. drain had some compounds whose concentrations exceeded those on the Varnicolor property. Contaminant concentrations can be expected to be diluted by moving further away from the source. Therefore the contaminants detected in the Howard St. drain should in fact be lower."
