Oil Spill Update

An update on the Oil Spill in Kahnawake. Chief Cody Diabo of the Mohawk Council (MCK) on Kahnawake 911 live this morning. The Kahnawake Environment Protection Office (KEPO) and Environmental Health Services (EHS) maintain that there is not a second spill site and that all of the oil in the Suzanne River that has settled in the area off Zachary Road has come from the Ford Boulevard site in Chateauguay. That spill first reported February 1^st to the Fire department but only discovered in Kahnawake on February 9th. Diabo says there is only 1 source:

“We had mentioned that we were doing the ground-penetrating radar this week, which didn’t show any anomalies, which for us proves, or further proves our point which Quebec and Canada are taking the opposite effect, saying that there is a 2nd source site internally in the community. All of the tests that we have done to date have been proven in showing that that is not the case, That is a conversation that we are going to be having and that I’m trying to have at the higher levels of spinning this narrative that the site in Chateauguay and the issue in Kahnawa:ke are not linked.”
