It's all meticulously documented, based on documents I obtained under right to information.
Specifically on the fertilizer plant, DFO is currently still negotiating what's called authorizing a HADD. DFO has a process for an industry that wants to dump effluent into a lake, a stream, a bay, or whatever it is. It has to get authorization from DFO for what's called a habitat alteration, disruption, or destruction permit. What's ironic is that this was never issued for the fertilizer plant. In a sense, the effluent was allowed to be dumped and allowed to affect the bottom without DFO ever issuing the company a HADD, which would have set out the requirements for the company to create new habitat for the habitat it destroyed. How it's going to re-create 100 acres of habitat, I don't know, but that is currently still under negotiation. They say the edges of this large area are slowly starting to recover, but they estimate that it will take decades and decades before it completely recovers--if, in fact, it ever does.
