LOCAL UPDATES

Zero seems to be happening at the old Varnicolor Chemical on Union St. The M.O.E. have not responded to my e-mail questions, the piles of gravel are still sitting there on the surface and no one appears to be installing collector pipes or anything else.

In contrast, as of yesterday at noon, the excavated hole at the Mac's store on Arthur St. is about 30'x 20' and about fourteen feet deep. Gasoline odours are extremely minor. While I was there I observed soil samples being taken by technicians. While going slowly nevertheless this site is progressing.
