In the June Progress Report we are advised that Item 7. "Remediation of Former Operating Pond Area" is a Control Order reporting requirement. This item actually refers to the DNAPLS found in, through and under these former operating ponds namely RPW 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8. Dnapls were mostly determined to be at shallower depths making them quite accessible for removal if there was the will. There was not. While relatively shallow as in six to twelve metres below the surface they were still often below the bottom of these ponds hence cleaning out the ponds and pretending nothing went through the bottom of them was the game.
What I find a little brazen is the claim in the June Progress Report that while this project i.e. 7. Operating Ponds/DNAPLS is a Control Order reporting requirement there will be no further details provided in future Progress Reports. The Control Order is supposed to be legally in effect until 2028 yet our illustriously corrupt Ministry of Environment are publicly stating that they are going to ignore it for the next two and a half years. Wow!
Apparently the MECP must feel that they are home free and nobody is looking anymore. Certainly TRAC aren't and certainly our local political bodies aren't. Maybe it is a clear runway to avoiding a public tsunami of contempt and disgust and maybe it isn't.
