Greeting us at the site was a damaged sign spelling out details of the site.
Arriving at the entrance to the site, tucked far back of the shopping plaza, it was somewhat unsettling to find an over-abundance of security ostensibly to protect a benign pile of dirt.
Suspicions rising we decided to investigate further.
Volunteers traced a steady stream of fully loaded dump trucks streaming in from various locations including Hamilton steel mills etc leaving empty
Since the entire site was totally fenced in and we where being challenged by security, we knew we would have to use aerial reconnaissance to get a grasp on the situation.
The aerial photographs only served to heighten out concerns.

Why did Walker Industries pay $13M?
Why did Walker Industries pay $13M?
Why did the Ministry of Natural Resources approve this?
Why did the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority approve this?
Why does Walker Industries pay $millions annually to build Mount
Carcinogen?
Did Walker Industries Pay $millions to the Niagara peninsula
Conservation Authority?
Why so much security for a “benign” pile of dirt?
Why a ‘curtain of
steel’ to protect from what?
Has anyone read the menu board sign?
Is this the same official story as ‘Love Canal’?
Will Mt. Carcinogen result in ‘Love Canal’ health problems?
Why a Mountain of Carcinogens in the urban area of the City
of Welland?
Who is responsible?
It's time for honest answers that we'll probably never get...
Just like our governments. A whole lot of toxic corruption, covered over with a few layers of "supposedly harmless bull crap"!
