ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 26th MARCH 2019
Question
Will the Minister set out for members all instances where pollutants (e.g. weed-killer, insecticides etc.) have been found in Jersey's reservoirs and watercourses over the last ten years, identifying –
- the specific areas of the Island where they were found;
- the type of pollutant and its strength in each instance;
- the level of pollutant in each instance in relation to international standards, and
- what action, if any, the department took in each instance?
Answer
Answering this question and presenting the information as requested by the Deputy requires many hours of officer time. An answer to this question is being progressed and I will provide the answer to Members as soon as possible, before the next States sitting on the 30th April 2019.
