North Cork Creameries sospende le operazioni dopo la violazione dell’EPA

Good

“A determination was made that “despite the seriousness and significance of licence breaches at NCC” in the June to August period, there was “no causal link between the NCC’s discharges into the River Allow and the fish mortalities in the Blackwater”.

It found that it could “not identify a specific cause despite extensive testing”.”

So, despite the EPA finding no connection between the discharges there and the fish kill further down stream, RTE just casually add it in at the end so guilty by association?

Seeing as the EPA have regular testing and samples from discharges from the plant and have a full breakdown of the quantities of every item in those samples, they’re struggling to connect the discharges from the plant with the fish kill.

What’s even more curious is the length of river between the plant discharges and the fish kill that has no signs of a fish kill. Honestly, you’d expect a kill to begin at or very close to the point of addition of these unknown contaminants but, in this single case, the contamination was discharged from the plant, travelled a good distance along the river without an issue showing up in either flora or fauna and then, by some unexplained mechanism, suddenly begun to kill fish?

Like, there’s silly and then there’s laughable and this is far beyond laughable.
