From what I understand the PCB's are buried now after many years in river bed sediment. This dredging will stir the whole damned riverbed up again and put the PCB's back into suspension in the water.

This will take years and the PCB laden sludge will be dumped on land and numerous sites along the river. I'm sure local residents near this sludge dump will just love it.

This also doesn't take into consideration the possibility of high water during during a heavy snow melt or high rainfall just waiting to cause a disaster for any means of control over the situation.

If the enviros are worried about the PCBs now they haven't seen anything yet once the digging starts.

The blatant stupidity and waste of money involved in this project is mind boggling.

I can't wait to see the news stories on this undertaking as it progresses in the years to come. We'll have our very own "Big Dig" fiasco.
