2028 CLEANUP DATE OF ELMIRA AQUIFER IS A SHAM

OTHER SOURCES IN ELMIRA HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ELMIRA AQUIFER


These above two headlines are my sustaining fantasy headlines in one or more of our local newspapers, including the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, Woolwich Observer and the Elmira Independent. To date my bets are on the Elmira Independent being first as they are the only media to stay the course, regularily attend CPAC (Chemtura Public Advisory Committee ) meetings and diligently report back to the public. Today's headline in the Elmira Independent is "CPAC members push for action on buried wastes". This is in reference to CPAC's July 2003 Request For Action, which document is reproduced here in the Advocate in it's entirety on July 6/11 and can be accessed through the Archives on the right side of the page.

Regarding my fantasy headlines above, in fact both of these statements have been made publicly at CPAC but to date have not been reported via our local newspapers. My posting on Friday Sept. 30/11, here in the Advocate, attributed these comments to Ron Campbell of CPAC. Both he and David Marks of CPAC also made it clear at the July 28 2011 CPAC meeting that "other sources" besides Chemtura and Nutrite (Yara) have contributed to the destruction of the Elmira drinking water aquifer. The ramifications of both of these statements are huge including the long term cosy arrangement between Chemtura and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. The exposure of the 1991 sweetheart deal between them is finally within sight.
