Linda Dickson of TAG normally updates TAG members in regards to the monthly Progress Reports including the On and Off site groundwater pumping. Unfortunately Linda has only been involve since 2015 and does not know the details of specific promises and commitments made to past UPAC and CPAC citizen members. Today I am briefly updating my readers regarding the March and April 2022 monthly Progress Reports and the On and Off site pumping. ....................................................................... March 2022 pumping failed to meet the on-site pumping Target of 4.7 litres/sec for the two on-site wells namely PW4 and PW5. Together they achieved only 4.2 l/sec over the month. Keep in mind that at one point Chemtura Canada (Jeff Merriman) promised CPAC that on-site pumping would be very close to 6 l/sec in order to maintain on site hydraulic containment after the off-site pumping wells were operational. Off-site pumping was at approximately 62 litres/sec which while higher than the long term average (around 53 l/sec) was still far short again of promises made to CPAC, Woolwich Council and the public in November 2012 when Chemtura promised that off-site groundwater pumping needed to TRIPLE in volume in order to achieve 2028 cleanup. ......................................................... April 2022 was worse. Both on and off-site pumping were far below Target. On-site was 4.2l/sec versus a Target of 4.7l/sec and off-site was approximately 51 litres/sec not even meeting the long term average which was supposed to be tripled after November 2012. Currently Lanxess Canada have successfully diverted everyone's attention away from their groundwater cleanup failures and towards their Risk Assessment (RA) of the Canagagigue Creek. This RA is shaping up to be just like the rest of their environmental cleanups in Elmira, Ontario which is after all was said and done, more was said than was done. Any lie or deception will do for them to save money on cleanup.
