LANXESS CANADA CO. - JUST MORE OF THE SAME SHIT

O.K. I don't like to jump to conclusions but it's time to say what needs to be said. First off the title. I had hoped that either or both the changes in company ownership, formerly Chemtura now Lanxess and formerly CRA now GHD would be improvements. Neither appears to be any such thing.

Off-site pumping sucks. Over the last six months off-site pumping (ie. pumping & treating the Elmira aquifers) has been significantly reduced. Thank you very much Lanxess and thank you very much TAG and Chair for not insisting on public, monthly meetings to demand to know what the hell is going on. Lanxess, GHD and other assorted miscreants continue to lie to and deceive the public. Our off-site pumping was supposed to triple and then it was "reduced" to only doubling from the 2012 levels. It's never even come close to the doubling promised. Now it's going backwards. Lanxess, M.O.E., GHD and Woolwich politicians you are shameless and the politicians are willfully and knowingly ignorant. They don't want to know. They also aren't insisting on regular meetings to even attempt to shame Lanxess into doing what they've promised.

Of course in order to save a nickel, as off-site pumping has decreased so has on-site. Afterall the excuse has always been that they don't want to overpower the off-site wells by pumping too hard on-site.

This folks is what we the citizen activists have been dealing with here in Elmira for the last thirty years namely professional liars, coddled and protected by other professional liars, otherwise known as politicians.

Tiffany & TAG: For the love of at least looking to be for real, call a meeting to demand improvements by Lanxess. As long as they can get away with it, they will.
