The mayor of St. Mary’s is accusing both the provincial and federal governments of abandoning them as the town grapples with a toxic mess left by an old, defunct fish sauce plant.
The plant has not operated in about 20 years, but in 2016 a man came forward indicting he was interested in some of the tanks still on site. Ryan says the plant held 150 tanks, containing 12,500 litres each. He says government officials did not monitor the plan given to them by the proponent. When the town complained, the solution implemented by government was to block the outflow pipe with cement.
Ryan told VOCM Open Line with Paddy Daly he’s frustrated with the apparent lack of concern over a major environmental and public health problem that’s been brewing for close to two decades. He says not even their MP knew the results of the report.
