Montreal PCB cleanup

摘要

The Quebec government has approved a cleanup plan for a Montreal company that illegally stored and recycled materials contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) for some 15 years. Environment Minister Yves-Francois Blanchet announced that he approved the cleanup proposal submitted September 3, 2013 on behalf of Radiance Power Equipment. The used power equipment company had until September 13 to transfer its holding equipment to a safe facility. In March, Quebec environment officials learned that 1,000 litres of oil had leaked into the ground, and was traced to Lake St. Louis from Radiance Power Corp's Hymus Blvd. location, which backs onto a residential area.
