PUBLIC MEETING OF WOOLWICH BIO-EN THIS EVENING

The venue for this evening's meeting will be the Woolwich Rec Centre and the time is 7 pm.. Bob Jonkman's Stop The Stink website has the Agenda for this evening. Back in November we had been advised that late January was their proposed startup but whether that has been affected by the incredible weather of the last few weeks I don't know. This meeting is part of the negotiated settlement with the Environmental Review Tribunal and involves the Citizens liason Committee and the company meeting on a regular basis. The list of citizen participants is again on Bob's website.

I personally have attended several meetings and have been very impressed with the willingness of all participants to be straightforward and honest. This bodes well if there are any operating problems in the future as the good will being currently generated should assist in helping to amicably resolve any future issues. As a veteran of the Chemtura/CPAC wars I can advise that the Bio-En meetings are night and day different. The company appears genuinely responsive and responsible and unlike their Chemtura counterparts, Woolwich Bio-En give every impression of not trying to hide awkward or difficult news. Kudos to them.
