Pesticide Spill Worries Neighbors
Reading on the PEI CBC Website a story about pesticide spill and the concerns the neighbors have about not being informed of the spill. Here are a couple snippetts from the story.
Some residents of Millvale, P.E.I., want to know why they weren't told about an alleged pesticide spill in their area in September.
A farm corporation has been charged with discharging a pesticide, pesticide solution or mixture from equipment in a manner not permitted by the manufacturer's label. The farm corporation has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
"I can only surmise that our inspectors that were there, or our officers that were there deemed that it was not an imminent danger to anybody in the immediate area," said Jardine.
"They can take comfort in that: that if they didn't get a call, they're probably OK."
Hear that people ! If it concerns you we would have told you... Now, move along, nothing to see here...
