                    [Summary] => BUTUAN CITY — Uncontrolled dumping of toxic waste materials from small-scale gold mining operations in the provinces of Compostela Valley, Davao and Agusan may have poisoned thousands of people relying on Caraga rivers for their drinking water. 


Worse, deep wells and reservoirs near the Agusan River may have already been contaminated with the highly toxic mercury used by small-scale miners and gold panners since the late 80s in gold-rush areas near the river.

The health chief’s call to renew the "4 o’clock cleanliness habit" came as more rains are expected due to the ongoing wet season.

"Their operations continue. I hope  concerned government agencies would take cognizance of the matter for the victims here are mostly hapless job-seekers from the provinces," Chief Inspector Efren Dalumpines, CIDG-NFO deputy chief, said yesterday.

Agriculture Secretary Leonardo Montemayor disclosed this information, saying a viable solution to the flood problem had been reached by local and national leaders, which would virtually turn the adversity into opportunity for economic development in Mindanao.
