Contamination was found to be consistent with creosote originating the Canada Creosote site across the river.
Not that I expect you to read it, but here is the report from Golder discussing what I've outlined above. |
Honestly, I'm not trying to be a pain, but I'm not seeing in the report the conclusion that the containment wall is not doing its job.
While i agree with your assessment about MW10-6, it doesn't say that the increase in levels was related to any further contamination from the south bow site.
While the creosote detected is consistent with the south bow creosote site (where else would it have come from, i suppose), it doesn't make any conclusion that new seepages are causing the increase.
Again, if it is in the report, then I will take the report's word for it, but I don't see that conclusion. I'm not debating that there was contamination, just skeptical about the assertion that the retaining walls in place have not stopped the flow.
