CPAC REMINDER



A week from this Thursday (August 30/12) is the monthly Chemtura Public Advisory Committee meeting. As usual it will be held in Woolwich Council Chambers at 6 pm. The Agenda has not been finalized as yet however likely issues for discussion and debate include the unsatisfactory Dioxin & DDT removal proposal of Chemtura, DNAPL found 100 feet below ground behind the old Varnicolor Chemical site and the recent finding of 1,100 ppb. Petroleum Hydrocarbons in the drinking water aquifer. The Ontario M.O.E. have also been presented with a long list of questions by CPAC that they will hopefully respond to. Chemtura will also we hope be prepared to share with CPAC the lab results (soil & water) from their removal of 125 buried drums last summer.

  1. One other item I hope will be raised and that is both the M.O.E. and Chemtura commenting formally on CPAC's Resolution that was ratified/endorsed by Woolwich Council. Also I would like to know if to date any other Councils' across Ontario have indicated support for it or not. This Resolution is in favour of source removal versus hydraulic containment (pump & treat) and is vitally important here in Elmira as well as further afield.
