*Contaminant who’s primary sources is almost certainly a military application.<\/p>\n
Source of information on contaminated areas is the Department of Health Safe Drinking Water Branch list of contaminated wells, printout dated March 5, 1996, and news reports of Dieldrin contamination, early April 1996. The DOH list reports all positive test results for regulated chemical contamination at drinking water sources going back to 1991.<\/p>\n
