HRCA‘s Stephen said the best â€" although obviously not the most practiâ€" cal â€" solution is removal of the slag. Short of that, a collection system will have to be created to pond the water, pump it up and transport it away for "We feel confident our initial response was quick and thorough enough to contain the runâ€"off from the slag," said Hartford, who said it was premature to discuss who will pay for the cleanâ€"up. What happens next depends largely on scientific analysis of the situation by the appropriate agencies. MOE staff are looking into the matter and on Thursday a Ford environmental specialist flew in from Dearborn, Michigan. While longâ€" term solutions have yet to be formulatâ€" ed, Hartford is pleased with Ford‘s swift reaction to date. "We‘re cocooning it within our own property," Hartford said Friday of this shortâ€"term solution. "It is not getting into the waterways. It is being contained I assure you." Faced with the leachate from the automaker, the Authority contacted the Ministry which on Tuesday issued the company a verbal order to contain the substance. According to Ford spokesman Jim Hartford, a large pit was dug immediately to allow water to accuâ€" mulate. This was then pumped out into container trucks and stored. "This mess prompted the Authority to call for a moratorium," said Stephen. ‘‘There are no guidelines and inadequate supervision and installation practices in the field."
