CHEMTURA STILL IN THE NEWS

Tomorrow's Woolwich Observer (out today) has two articles and one Letter To The Editor about the spill from 2 1/2 weeks ago. These I will provide a link to probably tomorrow when they go online. The first article (front page) "Cause of chemical release still unknown" describes what I've formerly referred to as a rupture disc. Chemtura are now referring to it as a relief valve. Regardless Chemtura are finally acknowledging that this technolgy can and should be improved, as any system which intentionally allows toxins to escape to the natural environment, is hardly the best or ideal solution.

The second article titled "Cleanup can be a thankless task" gives details on the cleanup crews employed by Winmar Inc. Also their major cleaner is called Citrusolve and appears to be working well.
