More concerns have been raised about the dumping of toxic silt at a site close to Poortown Quarry outside Peel.
The silt, which is being dredged from Peel harbour, is heavily contaminated with heavy metals, leading the Department of Infrastructure to abandon its original plans to dispose of it at sea.
