At Strathcona, the treatment lagoon was moved and modernized. Site decommissioning is underway at the Bakelite Thermoset property in Belleville. The work includes safe disposal of buried liquid industrial wastes, plant decommissioning and plans to address PCBs in the sewage lagoons. The impaired uses are fish flesh tainting, fish consumption restrictions, and loss of fish and wildlife habitat. Action plans have been prepared.
Work includes separating, cleaning and rebuilding sewer pipes, plus capping some contaminated areas.
Sediment contaminant levels of arsenic exceed Provincial guidelines at all sites in the Moira River downstream of the Deloro plant including Belleville. All rights reserved.
