Why are the Sydney Tar Ponds not listed on the Federal Contaminated Sites Inventory?
The Sydney Tar Ponds are not included on the list of federal contaminated sites because responsibility for its remediation is being shared with the Province of Nova Scotia. The inventory only lists sites that are strictly a federal responsibility, the majority of which are on federal lands.
