Province finds mercury-contaminated soil and possibly buried metal on Dryden site upstream from Grassy Narrows February 5, 2018,
The province has found mercury in soil and possibly buried metal in an area upstream from Grassy Narrows First Nation and Wabaseemoong (Whitedog) Independent Nations that was identified by a former paper mill worker as a dumping ground for mercury-filled barrels.
The Environment Ministry's findings confirm results found by the Toronto Star one year ago.
The mercury-tainted soil and the metallic underground "anomalies" were found in a clearing identified by Kas Glowacki as the area in Dryden, Ont., where he and a small crew dumped 50 drums of salt and mercury in 1972.
