Taxpayers may pick up the tab towards cleaning a site containing hazardous waste in Northland that experts estimate will cost more than $3 million after owners failed to take responsibility for the mess. Whangārei District Council (WDC), Northland Regional Council, WorkSafe, Ministry of Environment, and the Environmental Protection Agency are sharing the cost of cleaning up the site at Allis Bloy Pl in Ruakākā where about 800,000 litres of chemicals and 400,000 litres of bund water are stored.
