The Ontario Minister of the Environment has been working on that issue for probably 20 years. The problem was created by a private company. The company dissolved, disappeared, and the government thankfully stepped in and had to go through all of the environmental assessment processes over the years, provincially and federally. They are now at the point where all of the arsenic will be contained. The filtration of arsenic into the water courses will be stopped. It will not be removed from the site. They are basically containing all of the arsenic on the site.
The problem we have is that some of the arsenic and other contaminants will always be buried within the sediments of the Bay of Quinte. As long as they aren't disturbed and dredged, they are not a problem. We do, through the conservation authority, have all the proper rules and regulations in place to ensure that there is no dredging along the Bay of Quinte shorelines.
