UNIROYAL, NUTRITE, VARNICOLOR and now BORG TEXTILES?

Can we call them the FABULOUS FILTHY FOUR?

Uniroyal told the truth, twenty years ago, when they said they weren't the only contributers to the Municipal Aquifer contamination.

Chlorobenzene was a long term issue in the Howard St. storm drain.
Chlorobenzene was found as a DNAPL (dense non aqueous phase liquid) at OW57-32, near the fire station.
NDMA has long been known to be a component of dyes and the textile industry.
Hoechst produced dyes with Chlorobenzene as a component.
Hoechst was a supplier of dyes to Borg Textiles on the corner of Howard & Union St.

Uniroyal told the truth twenty years ago but they've been lying ever since. HOW MANY $MILLIONS$ DID THEY SAVE IN CLEANUP COSTS COURTESY OF THE ONTARIO M.O.E.?
WHAT DID THE M.O.E. GET OUT OF THE DEAL?
WHAT DID THE REGION OF WATERLOO GET OUT OF THE DEAL?
WHAT DID THE TOWNSHIP OF WOOLWICH GET OUT OF THE DEAL?
I'll tell you what the public got. They got screwed by everybody!

  1. So the question is, who is the new owner and are they on the hook for a cleanup of the alleged contamination?
