The federal government does not know what caused a pollutant leak near the Kraut Point wharf, but it has committed $2.3-million dollars toward cleaning it up.
A water-soluble contaminant was first observed in 2009 as part of a routine check at the site and since then the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, (DFO) who operate the facility, have been searching for its source.
Ottawa has already spent $758,000 studying the site at Kraut Point, but the source of the pollutants is still unknown.
Testing has shown a petrochemical in the ground near Kraut Point, affecting an area contained around roughly 1,000 square metres.
