Sweet Jesus! This just keeps getting worse... by leeps and bounds. And now it's "old news". The worst may (appears to) be yet to come, that being the seepage into the groundwater and into the ocean. Seawalls were said to be being put into place a while back but I can assure you that unless they are done properly they will supply little stoppage and even if "proper", they will eventually "leak".

Agreed I don't know the details of the saewalls, but even if sheet piles are driven and bentonite injected the nasty stuff is gonn go somewhere.
