LANXESS - TRULY STUNNING COWARDICE

Lanxess use and misuse data with supreme confidence because they know that just like in Russia they can silence dissent and opposing opinions. In Russia they throw opponebnts of their political regieme as well as of their military aggression in jail for years. Here they also misuse the courts albeit not quite to the same extreme. Lanxess have bizarrely used the Pacific Rim lab report as some sort of vindication of their utter and complete gutless wonder failure to properly investigate the Stroh property to their immediate east. Each and every small incursion to sample soils on the Stroh western border with Lanxess (Uniroyal) has led to stunning results when you realize that the overflowing Uniroyal Chemical wastes on the company's eastern border ended over half a century ago. The same thing happened with three out of four sediment samples analyzed from the Stroh Drain as they well exceeded the federal ISQG (Interim Sediment Quality Guidelines) for dioxins/furans. ................................................................................................. The Pacific Rim Lab report provided by myself to Ramin of Lanxess had a composite soil sample with a concentration of 4.06 parts per trillion dioxins/furans. While below the 7 parts per trillion (ppt) soil standard for soils within 30 metres of a surface water body, it wasn't that far below. The other concentration was 1.4 ppt. These are the only two soil samples taken in or around the Stroh Drain to the utter shame of both Lanxess and the Ontario Ministry of Environment. Ramin and Lanxess in their recent Draft Risk Assessment for the Canagagigue Creek brazenly boast that these concentrations vindicate their failures to sample these soils. TWO soil samples beside a 450 metre long drain that indeed have dioxins/furans (2,3,7,8 TCDD) present fifty years after the cessation of gravity flowing waste waters into this private property next door. These two soil samples prove that an honest, serious, unbiased investigation is required. Those two soil samples in conjunction with four sediment samples analyzed by GHD consultants on behalf of Lanxess, in the Stroh Drain, are a smoking gun proving that exactly as the topographical contours of the GRCA, Region of Waterloo, CRA indicate; overflowing waste waters from Uniroyal's east side pits gravity flowed onto the Stroh property to the immediate east of the north end of the Stroh Drain where they settled into a low lying, bowl shaped area. Now of course this low lying area also overflowed from time to time and further discharged these dioxin laced waters further south both on the Stroh property (& Martin property) and then into the Canagagigue Creek. ...................................................................................................... How can Lanxess make their ridiculous claims? Simple. They have eliminated local citizens with backbones who will oppose them. We (CPAC) have been eliminated from speaking, asking questions or making comments at public meetings. The truth is in the data but when the citizen reps are carefully chosen by Woolwich Township (& Lanxess) NOT to be aggressive or confrontational then they are easily ignored and silenced. Brazen lying and incredible bullsh.t are enough to make most good people back down. The data even in the two Reaches of the creek (Reach 3 & 4) closest to Uniroyal/Lanxess have dioxin/furan concentrations all over the map. Dioxins and most chemical compounds do not readly mix in soils the way they do in solvents, oils and waters. Hence you can literally have concentrations a hundred times higher than all criteria literally beside another soil sample (or sediment sample) that has a concentration of dioxins/furans of .3 parts per trillion. This is normal and in fact by going through either the original 2017 and 2020 Canagagigue Creek Investigation data or the same data in Appendix C of this report released earlier this year one readily sees how many soil sample concentrations are exceeded by my (Pacific Rim) lab report and especially also the vast majority ((approx. 94%) of sediment sample concentrations in Reaches 3 and 4 that are exceeded by the sediment results in the Stroh Drain. That Lanxess can in writing explain this away is a lie/bullsh.t on the order of the U.S. claiming "weapons of mass destruction" being in Iraq. The company have no shame and no pride. They are beyond pathetic and are emboldened by the support of fellow travellors including local politicians with their own agenda. ..................................................................................................... As long as Lanxess receive the support of their local fellow travellors they feel no need to be even careful with their lies. Nobody else matters to them including their victims over the decades.
