Was there any change in PCB levels based upon the second round of sampling?
The results were similar to those from the first round of sampling, with the exception that leaves collected from two apple trees very close to the project site had low concentrations of PCBs. PCBs were not found in apples from the trees. The ministry re-sampled the vegetation in October 2009 and detected low concentrations of PCBs in the leaves of just one of the two trees. PCBs were not detected in a cornfield near the project site. Concentrations of PCBs in soil near the project site were unchanged from 2008 to 2009.
