In the early 1990s, environmental monitoring determined that contaminants from the former Canada Creosote site (south of the Bow River) had migrated under the Bow River and into the community of West Hillhurst.
Since this discovery, the Government of Alberta has taken action to prevent further migration of contaminants off of the source site and, more recently, has been actively monitoring the migration of existing contaminants in West Hillhurst by drilling and monitoring approximately 30 wells throughout the community on an on-going basis. Environmental sampling has taken place in the community to continue monitoring the possible environmental and health impacts.

That is from the website. The barrier was installed in 95. Where does it say that the migration has continued???

Sorry, I said 80's. It was the early 90's that it was discovered.
