New pictures

It is amazing how much worse the site gets after it rains. Although the red colour has been there pretty well all summer, these pictures (taken today after it rained all morning) show pools of water with an oily sheen on top. Yesterday there were very small areas that looked oily, but no water at all. This area needs to be tested to ensure this oily substance and other materials do not pose a threat.

No feedback from the local or provincial levels to update you on...things seem to be moving very slowly. I am continuing to raise awareness of this landfill and my concerns, but I think there needs to be (a) greater pressure involved in order for action to be taken, and (b) higher government levels involved.

The following pictures show the area where water seems to be flowing from the ground:
