Have Your Say about the Oil Leak
www.MyPE.co.za:
Shell South Africa (Pty) Ltd (Shell) operates within a shared fuel
storage facility adjacent to the Port Elizabeth (PE) Harbour. A
historic contamination has been identified in the area and a
hydrocarbon plume has migrated through the underlying sediments,
beneath the quay wall and into the soils and water of the Port
Elizabeth Harbour. Remediation studies suggest that a contamination
containment wall be constructed 1 metre below the quay wall foundations
to prevent further flow of hydrocarbons into the port. It is envisaged
that the containment wall will be required, whilst remediation of the
contaminant plume takes place.
The proposed Contamination Containment Wall in the PE Harbour Final
Basic Assessment (BA), Final Draft Environmental Management Plan (EMP),
Public Participation Process (PPP) Report and Waste License Application
is on public review for a period of one (1) month, from 24 February to
24 March 2010 at the following venues:
- Algoa Bay Yacht Club; and
- PE Harbour security entrance on Flemming Street.
