If soil remediation is needed, will Inco and Falconbridge assume responsibility?
Yes, the companies are prepared to undertake remediation where unacceptable health and ecological risks associated with metals in the soil have been identified. Both Vale Inco. and Xstrata Nickel have accepted and publicly declared that they will assume responsibility for required remediation, and they have the track record to back up that commitment. In the last 20 years, more than $1 billion has been spent on environmental initiatives in Sudbury.
