Councillor Glen Grant said he will do a cost-benefit anal y sis, but did not see m op- ti m istic about the beach proposal. “I don’t see that being a priorit y for our waterfront,” he told co mm ittee m e m bers. Beehler, in an interview with The Journal after the m eeting, said that m ercur y was the initial concern when the sa m ples were taken. “Mercur y can be a ver y trick y ele m ent and it’s a substance that can easil y beco m e bio- available throughout the food chain.” “And y ou don’t want to have those con- ta m inated sedi m ents re-suspended so that m ercur y beco m es available throughout the food chain because eventuall y it will m ake its wa y to hu m ans.” But when the sa m ples were drawn, the y were “anal y zed for a slew of che m ical co m - ponents,” Beehler said. Aside fro m m ercur y , the testing discov- ered the heav y m etals chro m iu m , nickel, copper, zinc, cad m iu m and lead in a m ounts exceeding federal li m its. The m etals are tox- ic to hu m ans at excessive levels and chronic exposure m a y also be hazardous. The heav y m etals found in the sa m ples are a m ong 10 “persistent toxic substances of concern” set out in the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement in 1978, ac- cording to Environ m ent Canada. The agree m ent set li m its for the heav y m etals arsenic, cad m iu m , chro m iu m , cop- per, iron, lead, m ercur y , nickel, seleniu m and zinc.

A plan for a beach behind the Royal Cana- dian Air Force Wing Association in Corn- wall may be dead in the water. Me m bers of Cornwall’s Waterfront Devel- op m ent Co mm ittee learned Thursda y eve- ning that the proposed site for a cit y beach is conta m inated with a nu m ber of heav y m etals, including m ercur y . Katherine Beehler of the federal-provin- cial Re m edial Action Plan, said it would be “a huge undertaking” to create at beach at the inlet behind the RCAFA wing, just east of the public boat launch in La m oureux Park. “It is a huge undertaking and it is a strat- eg y that is a long-ter m strateg y in the Corn- wall area.” The conta m ination was discovered in sa m ples taken in 2008 as part of the ap- proval process for an RCAFA project to con- struct boat docks in the inlet. The RCAFA was forced suspend the docks fro m the shoreline to prevent disturbance on the conta m inants in the sedi m ent of the inlet. “It doesn’t see m to be too encouraging,” said co mm ittee chair Lee Cassid y , after hearing Beehler’s assess m ent. Cassid y sug- gested it m a y be ti m e “to put the beach to bed.”
