Albright and Wilson Portishead factory site. I am requesting what
information you hold relating to
1 white phosphorus contamination of the site (yellow phosphorus or
P4), and the extent of the contamination on the site, in the form
of samples taken from sediment/soil analysis and other artefacts
recovered from the company's activities.
2.Information relating to the lagoons on site, the extent of their
contamination by white phosphorus and other materials.
3. How these lagoons were remediated to make them safe and what
problems were encountered during this process?
4. How long did the remediation of the Portishead site take what
was the final cost and who paid for this?
5. Aside from the Strode Road site in Clevedon, are you aware of
any other waste sites used by Albright and Wilson at their
Portishead site for disposal of waste,containing white phosphorus?
Or did they use any other sites for waste tipping activities and
what is the the current status of these sites?
Yours faithfully,
Mr Carroll
