BIOGAS & CPAC CHANGES COMING

Today's Elmira Independent has the following story on the front page: "Mayor-elect gets down to business". Apparently Todd Cowan has been in contact with John Wilkinson, a colleague from his Queen's Park days, in regards to a number of environmental issues here in Woolwich. A better location for the Biogas plant was discussed as well as major changes to CPAC ."Cowan also talked to Wilkinson's office about the potential to give the Chemtura Public Advisory Committee "more teeth", enabling it to do more than simply advise." This would certainly be a huge departure from CPAC's role the last several years of granting concessions to Chemtura in the way of reduced groundwater testing & monitoring.
