Treat it and then send it back to Laxey. I appreciate that the effluent should be much cleaner and releasing it into the bay once treated will be better than currently, but this doesn't sound like the most efficient plan. There is an outflow at Garwick already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, today's Examiner leading with the headline of the DOI (yeah them again) dumping toxic sludge from Peel Harbour against expert advice (again). Oh how we look after and nurture our Biosphere... (and experts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b4mbi Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 "Toxic" only because it was allowed to build up by lack of dredging and maintenance so it became concentrated. Naturally it would have ended up at sea anyway, and surely dumping at out at sea dilutes the concentration sufficiently??? Should change the regs in our waters to account for Island's specific geology then regularly dredge and dump in the sea at area of least impact. By far cheapest and most effective way to deal with it, rather than the nonsense of dredging, drying it out, then landfilling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless, it ended up with the West Coast Scallop fishery near where they dumped it, being closed for the winter of 14/15 due to the high levels of toxins found.

The diluting effect of the sea is the same whether you dribble it in all the time or whether to put it in in one go. What important is the gross amount you put into the sea. I understand that if it was dribbled in all the time no one would probably even notice and also we now have stored up a bigger problem But really its not good to put toxic metals and PCBs in the sea full stop.

Why would they dump it near a scallop fishery?? there must be other deeper/less sensitive places in our territorial waters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
