Hoy is quoting the Norwegian newspaper Norwatch, specializing in environmental issues, about the case of a Norwegian boat said to be responsible for dumping toxic waste in the port of Haina, violating Dominican environmental law 64-00 on disposal of dangerous liquids. Hoy writes that the dumping was carried out several weeks ago without any environmental personnel present, as is required by law, and that the workers on the ship lacked the necessary training and equipment. Hoy quotes the report, which states that dock 3 at Haina also doesn't have the equipment to handle such an operation. Hoy is also reporting that apart from the 1,621 pounds of soda dumped in Haina, a further 500 tons of the material might also be dumped in the DR.
