Paint dumped in river
30/Aug/2010 - By Tristan Lavalette, Canning Times
 A
yellow plume was visible in the Canning River at Salter Point
after several litres of paint was washed into the river. The
Swan River Trust is investigating the dumping of several litres
of water-soluble paint into the Canning River. A member of the
public reported a yellow plume in the river at Salter Point
and SRT officials used an absorbent boom to contain the plume
before bringing in a liquid waste disposal truck to extract
the contaminated water.SRT investigators have questioned a person
in relation to the incident. SRT riverpark manager Chris Mather
said it was one of the most careless acts of deliberate pollution
he had encountered and it served as a reminder of the importance
of community vigilance around the rivers. “The quick action
of the individual who reported the incident allowed us to respond
immediately and minimise the spread of the plume,” Mr
Mather said. He said investigations into the incident would
continue and people with information should call 9278 0900.
