If it is contaminated, someone is responsible for cleaning it. That from Pat Riley, spokes-person with the International Longshoreman's Association referring to the former Lantic Sugar Site. Talks continue between Irving Oil and the Port Authority to swap that property for Long Wharf. The company has already completed 25% of pre-construction work along the water front. Riley tells CHSJ News, the port authority recently hired a consultant which has determined what all the contaminants on the site are.
Riley says if among the contaminants there are carcinagens, they want them identified so they don't run into a situation similar to that of the Sydney Tar Ponds where no one took responsibility for what was left on that site.
