I will probably sign this but I would like to see some more discussion on this first. I'm sure a lot of people do not know what happened (and I don't think I know the whole story yet either).

Short version: A dredging project from Gallilee / PJ HOR to make the harbor more navigable (a good thing) was to have it's sediment (decalred non-toxic - yeh right) and deposited off several matunuck beaches for beach replenishment. Problem is, while the contractor says the sand is "clean" IIRC, it is loaded full of debri that has ben dumped primarily off of commercial fishing boats and some of public use for 30 years... The Projo article said that the contractor would be "cleaning" this.

I wonder if our on the scene expert rocktologist has anything he could add ? Either professionally or simply gut feeling..
