This clean up cost taxpayers $46,000, not including the $5,200 for the first "clean up" in 2000. Court costs not included or known. No water or soil tests have been done and our attempts to involve the Ministry of Environment have been blocked by the Islands Trust telling the MOE they would be called "if we find any hazardous materials". A large dump truck load of soil was removed and replaced by clean fill from off-Island. Why? Twelve barrels of Hazardous Waste were removed, the containers removed were so old they were rusted through. The onsite HazCo Supervisor stated "the soil is definitely contaminated, it needs to be tested." Islands Trust would have you believe that what you see in this video was brought on to the property since their " full cleanup" in 2000, by someone with no vehicle much of the time. As you can see from the level of disintegration, this is the contents of a 30 year old landfill-dump. We did not film the small section of the land cleared in 2000 by Islands Trust, only the amount that had been left "for humanitarian reasons only" and "just building supplies", as stated by the Trust. Also contradictorily stated by Trustees: "we removed everything in 2000" and " I believe now we were fooled by the owner, he was never ill, we should not have stopped the partial clean up in 2000."
This clean up took 5 days. We counted 25 industrial sized bins, including 25-45 tons of metal, and many dump truck loads of mixed soil and garbage, vehicles etc. The smell of faeces and spilled toxic waste was overwhelming.
