Historical flooding of the Fort Albany area is also a real concern for off site migration of contaminants. [...]in 1993 personnel of the OMOEE transported equipment leaking PCBs in a storage trailer from Site 050 to Moosonee, Ontario, located at the southern tip of James Bay (Gibson, 1993; ESG, 1999). The database was then populated by entering the number of individuals participating in each activity within each quadrat. Because the study was primarily concerned with activity that occurred on Andersen Island and the surrounding surface hydrology, data were isolated to the region of interest through a series of geoprocessing procedures. Spatially, most people fish in Yellow Creek or around Anderson Point. [...]there is potential that fish may be a source of contaminants for the community if it can be shown that there is migration of PCBs off site from the old MCRL station. The potential for water contamination in Yellow Creek has been discussed earlier. [...]concern is warranted; however, the ESG (1999b) found that water samples collected from ground monitoring wells on Anderson Island (four of these wells were within the PCB-contaminated area) contained low levels of PCBs (<0.2 ppb of PCBs measured as Aroclor 1254; <0.6 ppb of PCBs measured as Aroclor 1260; ESG, 1999b).
