So what do you see as a good entry point for TRP now ...

Heh, I'm not the guy to ask that question as I'm definitely NOT much of a "chartist" -- maybe Ward will offer up his opinion.

For what it's worth, maybe the recent 52 week low of $11.50 will offer up some support. If it breaks below there, we are into un-charted territory (forgive the pun) even on a ten year chart, so I'd say it's anybody's guess.

PCBs spilled en route to Swan Hills

Jack Danylchuk
Journal Staff Writer and The Canadian Press

Swan Hills - A truck carrying almost 18,000 litres of liquid
polychlorinated biphenyls twice spilled some of its cargo while
on its way to the Swan Hills hazardous waste treatment plant
earlier this week.

"The total amount spilled was less than a litre," Shaun Hammond,
spokesperson for dangerous goods control at Alberta
Transportation, said Thursday.

Hammond said two barrels in the 84-barrel cargo were
"weeping and seeping" PCBs. The action of the truck stopping
and going caused the liquid to splash over the truck's secondary
containment system.

"Our concern is that these drums are not supposed to leak,"
Hammond said.

"We're speculating that there might be something wrong with
drums or something happened while they were stored, when they
were being loaded, or they might have got battered during
transit."

The PCBs were en route from Nova Scotia and investigators are
now retracing the truck's route across Canada.

Investigators found one spill at the intersection of Highways 43
and 33 near Gunn. The other happened when the driver stopped
at an intersection 10 km from the plant.

Only a trace of PCBs was found at Tofield where the truck
spent the night and the spot where the truck stopped near the
Alberta-Saskatchewan border was clear, Hammond said.

Because the spills were small and the cleanup quick, the public
and environment are not at risk, Hammond said.

A government announcement of the spill noted that more than 49
million litres of hazardous waste have been brought into Alberta
in the past year without any spills.

Calgary-based Bovar Inc., operator of the waste treatment
plant, has had mishaps in the past. Alberta Environment has laid
six charges against the plant of violating provincial environmental
regulations.

Bovar said earlier this year it plans to plead guilty to the charges
to avoid a costly and lengthy trial.

The charges were laid following an airborne leak of PCBs,
dioxins and furans from the plant in October 1996.
