AS PREDICTED HERE OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS THE CANAGAGIGUE RISK ASSESSMENT IS A PILE OF HOT STEAMING HORSE MANURE

Multiple computer files and literally many hundreds of pages in length, The "Draft" Human Health & Ecological Risk Assessment is a mathematical conglomeration of bandaids, tortured logic, wilful blindness, acute deafness, amendments and grotesque and blatant deceit. As expected and predicted it was undertaken at extravagant length, cost and wasted special citizen serious input and attempted improvement. The two part Risk Assessment, namely Human Health RA and Ecological RA is almost equally biased and bad with the edge going to the Human Health Risk Assessment sanctimoniously advising that the risks to Human Health in all four Reaches of the Canagagigue Creek (Lanxess to the Grand River-5 miles) are ACCEPTABLE! Wow. Also the HUman Health risks arising from the studiously ignored and excruciatingly avoided Stroh Drain, Ditch & Berm (SDDB) were also concluded to be ACCEPTABLE! ................................................................................................................................. The Ecological RA was a little different. Basically we are advised that birds and mammals further downstream are of zero concern to corporate America. God who would have possibly thought that? Testimony a few decades ago at the Environmental Appeal Board hearings from a local trapper as to the condition of pelts and hides from animals living in and around Uniroyal Chemical has long been forgotten although of course the current crop of TAG members never did know about it in the first place. Allegedly Lanxess are willing to admit that Reach 4 (their site) and the next immediate Reach (3) might be a problem for birds and mammals. Awfully white of them, that. However reptiles, amphibians, soil and sediment invertebrates are SOL. It has been determined by these Environmental Racists that all risks to these life forms throughout the length of the Creek all the way to the Grand River are ACCEPTABLE. Oh and similarly the risks for the area that the wealthy supremacists call 6670 Line #86 (i.e. Stroh Drain-SDDB) are also ACCEPTABLE for these lifeforms. .............................................................................................................................. When you've dealt with professional liars and manipulators for decades it becomes easy to know that leopards don't change their spots. It's all about the long con, delay, delay and more delay until you've worn down both memories and opposition. There is so much wrong with this entire process throughout. Maybe Risk Assessment can be done even partially honestly and scientifically but NOT with these swine in charge of it. They, as usual, have bought and paid for exactly what they want which is a Mickey Mouse scoping and minimizing of human and environmental damage caused by their decades of reducing their waste costs by wilful poisoning of both the natural environment and of nearby human beings. Is it possible that three decades ago local politicians (municipal & Regional?) had their palms greased in order to deny an unbiased and honest Health Study of Elmira and area residents? Or did they simply threaten to leave town and leave Woolwich Township in the lurch if they pushed too hard for reparations?
