Description:   The recent order from the Ministry of Environment for Maybrun Mines to clean up a PCB storage site in a ridiculously short time was used as a case study to criticise the unfavourable attitude of Ontario to mining and mine development.  Maybrun was told to drain, rinse and contain PCB contaminated transformers and associated oil in a concrete building to be constructed specifically for the PCB containers, all in seven days. Failing to comply, Maybrun went to court where they were convicted only for not cleaning up a small amount of contaminated soil.
