So much different info around on how serious this is. I guess this shows the severity is real as originally reported.

Hopefully it's cleared up quickly!

This will put the nail in the coffin for the Port of Picton as envisioned by the owners of the port.

wow if the entire 1100 L manage to leak out that would be an issue, but 30L come on! Sounds like a local politician looking to get his name in a big city newspaper, or blowing up the issue for his political agenda.

Here is an aerial picture posted of Picton Bay yesterday, you can see the Picton Golf Club in the top of the picture. It is posted on The Save Picton Bay Facebook page.

its a crock of *** yes any spill is bad but put an OZ of gas in the water and watch what happens........ the currents are flowing away from the water intake not to it.......... gas and oil are on the surface. the water drawn into the water treatment plant is 20 below the surface.......... think about all the salt from the streets that flush into storm drains and run into the bay........ think of all the oil from the streets running into the same storm drains......... think about all the septic systems all along the bay of quinte that also make there way into the bay.....think of all the boats that motor right past the water intake all spring, summer, and fall ...think about the sewage treatment plant dumping treated sewage directly upstream above the water intake ... think think think........ none of it is good but can we hang 100 years of careless pollution on one old barge and a 5 gallon pail of fuel oil ? ......... and keep in mind we are talking about a state of the art water treatment plant that is pulling in lake Ontario water and making it drinkable or at least they say its drinkable.......... now they wanna send out alarms and say they cant filter the water well enough??? there is a lot of people trying to make a mountain out mole hill.

Actually, some people need to "think" about the bigger picture!
