RECORD CORRECTED BY SJRWMD ON OLD CITY RESERVOIR POLLUTION IMPACT

The Record, contacted by St. Johns Water Management District, corrected its story today. The City would have liked us to believe that there was no environmental impact on groundwater, without running the first laboratory test. The record stated at page 2: Corrections INCORRECT INFORMATION ON MONITORING WELLS-- A story on April 13, 2006 conerning the FLorida Department of Environmental Protection's investigation of the Holmes Boulevard borrow pit containsed incorrect information. Teresa Monson, spokeswoman for St. Johns Water Management District, said that because there are no monitoring wells in the area of the borrow pit, where the city has allegedly (sic) dumped unsuitable materials, there is no way of immediately knowing if groundwater has been contaminated.
