If you would've read the page I've linked, you would have learned that the well in question is across the river on Westmount Road, suggesting seepage across the river, which has concerned AB Enrvironment to the point that they have ordered further monitoring of the problem.

The Syrian comment was tongue in cheek but the logic is the same. No one cares about the creosote until the arena comes up. Now its the most dangerous thing in our city; despite the fact that the health hazards are largely insignificant.
I read that, but it doesn't suggest a direct correlation with seepage continuing across the river. The way the monitoring wells are situated, there is no way they can infer the increased creosote around one well is directly caused by cross-river seepage or from the existing creosote contamination of the northern bank of the bow from the 80's-90's.
Of course, this is concerning and the Government is right to continue to monitor the situation as this may help determine the cause.
Obviously we will know more about the issue when the report is released, and if it notes that seepage is still present, then i will surely take that as a fact; but you cannot make the same inference from the information on the website.
Unless you work for AEP or Golder, I will assume your ignorance on this issue is in line with mine, so comments like that are uncalled for.
