TIME FOR A THIRD MAP ?

Recently I have included two maps along with my postings here in the Elmira Advocate. One was on Friday July 5/19 and the next on Monday July 8/19 a mere nine days ago. The first map (Friday) showed the map that I put together back in late 2014 and in an environmental universe of logic, reason, and common sense that map would have unilaterally blown thirty years of public relations efforts, lying, and junk science from government (MOE/MECP), consultants, and Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura, out the window. It did not because logic, reason, and common sense have not prevailed against money, power, professional liars, and all their fellow travellors. The bottom half of my map was constructed from a May 2013 CRA (Conestoga Rovers & Assoc. Dwg. C-02) map and included ground surface contour lines on it which clearly indicated where the toxic contents of decades of overflowing east side pits ended up primarily on the Stroh property.

The second map from Monday July 8/19 shows the Grand River Conservation Authority's (GRCA) 100 year floodline across the Lanxess (Uniroyal) south-east corner as well as across the Stroh and Martin property. It helps explain the planning and rationale behind the Stroh Drain, Ditch and Berm (SDDB). Of course I have slowly learned over the decades that presenting clear facts to our authorities is a waste of time. For them it's all about plausible deniability. One has to spoon feed the facts to politicians, their supporting bureaucrats, and polluters in order to slowly eliminate all unlikely and bizarre possible interpretations that they can and will come up with.

Following is another nail in their credibility coffin. This map shows via clearly visible yellow arrows exactly where the bulk of Uniroyal Chemical's overland flow of waste waters travelled. The yellow arrows follow the decreasing contour lines and hence indicate the direction of surface flow. The contour lines have been determined by CRA, MOE, GRCA, MTE, and others and are consistent with each group.The red arrows show exactly where the toxins (dioxin/furans, DDT etc.) settled in the lowest lying surface depressions. This is where sampling and probable remediation is desperately required to stop the ongoing flow of these Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) into the Canagagigue Creek. They are mobilized by heavy rains, snow melt and ongoing flooding.
