English: Cabinet Secretary, I have spoken with a senior spokesperson from Valero regarding the kerosene spillage in Nantycaws, and I was assured, because I asked very much the same questions that have already been asked to you, that immediately upon realising that there was a pressure drop within that pipe - because that's how they knew - they notified NRW and other agencies therein. And I think it's only right and fair at this point, before I move on, to recognise the hard work that has been done by those staff - continually done by the staff - outside their normal working hours so that they can do their best to protect the public from all the other issues that I think were fairly stated by Adam Price. And I think it's also fair to mention the emergency services, because the fire authority also turned up and responded as quickly and efficiently as they could. So, I want to put those things on the record. I did drive through here, actually, on Sunday, and I have to tell you that it was a three-quarter-of-an-hour journey from one end of Carmarthen to getting up the other end, and that was on a Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. So, you know, it is probably wise to say that, whilst it might be on a weekend, nonetheless, there will be significant inconvenience. I probably unwisely chose to travel at 4 o'clock, not thinking, because I wasn't shopping, that maybe the shops were closing at the same time, so I suppose it's fair to add that. But, nonetheless, that's how long it took me to go from one end of Carmarthen to get back onto the A48. So, anyway, moving on, I understand that there were four sites of pollution and that now a total of three of those have been cleared, but one is still being recovered. I did ask the question, of course, about downstream and any effect on the Towy and was assured, at this point, that that is an unlikely situation. Nonetheless, while that is the case, and I recognise that people might be impacted for a few days by having to go around the road, what I'm really concerned about is that impact on that watercourse and how we intend to monitor any effects within that watercourse that have happened - it has destroyed it, let's be clear: if you poison a river, you have destroyed it - and how it is going to be monitored and brought back to life. I was elected just after the Sea Empress; I know how devastating these things are, and I'm not suggesting that this is on that scale at all. I will thank, however, Valero for being honest when I asked questions and also, as far as I know, they've been on site and they've apologised profusely for the pollution, which was unmistakeable, because I smelled it myself on Sunday, in the air. At the moment, as far as I'm led to believe and others are led to believe, the fumes were not toxic. But some families did choose to move from there. So, I think, at this stage, what could be done perhaps has been done, but, in moving forward, I think what is important for me to know, as somebody representing that area, is that the monitoring of that site will be diligent, will be long term, and will be reported back to us.
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, rwyf wedi siarad ag uwch lefarydd o Valero ynghylch y gollyngiad cerosin yn Nantycaws, a chefais fy sicrhau, oherwydd gofynnais lawer iawn o'r cwestiynau a ofynnwyd i chithau eisoes, eu bod, yn syth ar ôl sylweddoli bod gostyngiad i'r gwasgedd yn y biblinell - oherwydd dyna sut yr oedden nhw'n gwybod - wedi rhoi gwybod i Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru ac asiantaethau eraill oddi mewn. Ac rwy'n credu nad yw ond yn iawn ac yn deg ar y pwynt hwn, cyn i mi symud ymlaen, i gydnabod y gwaith caled a wnaed gan y staff hynny - a wneir gan y staff yn barhaus - y tu allan i'w horiau gwaith arferol er mwyn gwneud eu gorau i ddiogelu'r cyhoedd rhag yr holl faterion eraill y credaf iddynt gael eu datgan yn deg gan Adam Price. Ac rwy'n credu ei bod hefyd yn deg i sôn am y gwasanaethau brys, oherwydd bod yr awdurdod tân hefyd wedi dod yno ac ymateb mor gyflym ac effeithlon â phosibl. Felly, rwyf am nodi'r pethau hynny ar y cofnod. Fe wnes i yrru drwy'r ardal hon ddydd Sul, mewn gwirionedd, ac mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud wrthych ei bod yn daith tri chwarter awr o un pen o Gaerfyrddin i'r llall, a hynny am 4 o'r gloch ar brynhawn dydd Sul. Felly, wyddoch chi, mae'n debyg ei bod yn ddoeth dweud, er efallai mai ar benwythnos oedd hyn, serch hynny, bydd yn achosi anghyfleustra sylweddol. Roeddwn i, mae'n debyg yn annoeth yn dewis teithio am 4 o'r gloch, heb feddwl, gan nad oeddwn yn siopa, bod y siopau efallai yn cau bryd hynny, felly mae'n debyg ei bod yn deg ychwanegu hynny. Ond, serch hynny, dyna pa mor hir a gymerodd i mi i fynd o un pen o Gaerfyrddin i fynd yn ôl ar yr A48. Felly, beth bynnag, wrth symud ymlaen, rwyf ar ddeall bod pedwar safle o lygredd a bod cyfanswm o dri o'r rhain wedi eu clirio erbyn hyn, ond bod un yn dal i gael ei adfer. Fe wnes i ofyn y cwestiwn, wrth gwrs, am unrhyw effaith i lawr yr afon ac ar afon Tywi a rhoddwyd sicrwydd i mi, ar y pwynt hwn, fod honno yn sefyllfa annhebygol. Serch hynny, tra bod hynny'n wir, ac rwy'n cydnabod y gallai pobl gael eu heffeithio am rai dyddiau drwy orfod mynd o amgylch y ffordd, yr hyn sy'n fy mhoeni i'n fawr yw'r effaith honno ar y ddyfrffordd honno a sut yr ydym yn bwriadu monitro unrhyw effeithiau a gafwyd ar y ddyfrffordd honno - y mae wedi ei dinistrio, gadewch i ni fod yn glir: os ydych yn gwenwyno afon, rydych wedi ei ddinistrio - a sut y bydd yn cael ei monitro a'i hadfywio. Cefais fy ethol yn fuan ar ôl achos y Sea Empress; rwy'n gwybod pa mor ddinistriol yw'r pethau hyn, ac nid wyf yn awgrymu bod hyn ar yr un raddfa o gwbl. Rwyf yn diolch, fodd bynnag, i Valero am fod yn onest pan ofynnais gwestiynau ac maen nhw hefyd, hyd y gwn i, wedi bod ar y safle ac maen nhw wedi ymddiheuro'n llaes am y llygredd, a oedd yn ddigamsyniol, oherwydd fe wnes i ei arogli fy hun ddydd Sul, yn yr aer. Ar hyn o bryd, rwyf i ar ddeall ac mae eraill ar ddeall, nad oedd y mygdarth yn wenwynig. Ond fe wnaeth rhai teuluoedd ddewis symud oddi yno. Felly, rwy'n credu, am y tro, y gwnaed yr hyn y gellid ei wneud, ond, wrth symud ymlaen, credaf mai'r hyn sy'n bwysig i mi wybod, fel rhywun sy'n cynrychioli'r ardal honno, yw y bydd y gwaith o fonitro'r safle yn ddiwyd, yn hirdymor, ac yn cael ei adrodd yn ôl i ni.
