A few years ago there was a big concern about mustard gas that was dropped off the east coast, and other emissions by DND in the 1950s. I know DND and DFO worked cooperatively to find these sites and estimate what could be done. I don't know if they could be removed. Is any of this mapping going on, assisting the identification of where these sites are? I know there are folks in Cape Breton and others who are quite concerned about the ongoing search for these sites and where they are and what can be done to mitigate any possible damage in the future.
