The critical time for taking water samples was immediately after going on-site. The critical place to take water samples was along the whole area of investigation, particularly at the discharge points. Were there any samples taken within 24 hours along the river and along the 26 km stretch, particularly at the discharge points? How many companies are licensed by the EPA along this 26 km stretch?
