CHEMTURA CANADA NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP

Fellow travellors, whether paid directly or indirectly have been doing Chemtura's bidding for far too long. Worse is that Chemtura are hiding behind them. Whether it is their well paid consultants or their friends in either CPAC or Woolwich Township, Chemtura nevertheless pretend that they are at arm's length from decisions favouring their interests. Two recent examples come to mind. Steve Quigley of Conestoga Rovers advised us in the March 2014 CPAC meeting and Minutes that the DNAPL investigations were fully addressed and resolved. This is false as I so stated at the following April CPAC meeting and Chemtura should also have stepped up and stated/clarified their opinion on the matter. Secondly at the April CPAC meeting Jeff Merriman of Chemtura stated as per the Minutes that he would provide the new/interim CPAC Secretary with Wilf Ruland's May 15, 2008 DNAPL letter and she "...can distribute it as she sees fit.". Again this is unacceptable. It is Chemtura's responsibility under *Responsible Care to ensure that all stakeholders are provided equally and fairly with any and all reports/documentation distributed.

Which of course takes us back to Wilf Ruland's May 15/08 letter. Was his and Jaimie Connolly's (May 2/08) letters a big part of why Woolwich Council booted me off CPAC in the spring of 2008? Certainly my position on DNAPLS had Pat, Susan and Wilf upset. Certainly the position of Dr.s Cherry and Parker had them upset. Certainly the truth on DNAPLS had them upset. Susan had sucessfully hidden her and Sylvia Berg's selling the farm, without APTE's knowledge, on DNAPLS back in 1991. Pat was always on Chemtura's side and Wilf simply didn't want to offend either CRA or the Ontario M.O.E.. His livelihood as an allegedly independent citizens' group hydrogeologist was at stake.

Once Jaimie of the M.O.E. dramatically changed the Ministry's tacit support of everything Chemtura/CRA did; then and only then did Wilf find his backbone. Wilf followed Jaimie's April 3, 2006 lead with his April 21/06 letter and again followed Jaimie's May 2, 2008 lead with his May 15/08 DNAPL letter. Wilf's letter has now been provided by Chemtura to the interim CPAC Secretary and she has distributed it appropriately to the best of her knowledge. Data to citizen stakeholders whether formal CPAC members or not should not be given to any third party whomsoever for their determination as to who receives a copy. That kind of bullshit is how and why I and other stakeholders have been denied important information for years, including Jaimie and Wilf's letters.

These two belated, by six years, letters have shone a light on the neverending DNAPL coverup by CRA and Chemtura, enabled by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Steve Quigley and Chemtura want this issue buried along with the actual existing DNAPL on site. These two letters make it clear that DNAPL can and should be removed now. These two letters whose details I have already posted here, indicate that the DNAPL (Dense Non Aqueous Phase Liquid) contamination continues to fester both above and below ground.
