My understanding is that this tour which followed an interesting one in April 2019 is to somehow give TRAC members and specialty guests a better idea of the topography (lay of the land) and landforms on the east side of the Creek. Of course the plan in 2019 was to defuse any suggestions that Uniroyal Chemical's liquid wastes flowed across the property line from Uniroyal onto the Stroh farm. That ship has however already sailed as Chemtura/Lanxess did their usual abbreviated and minimal "cleanup" along the property line between the Stroh farm and Uniroyal. High concentrations of both DDT and dioxins/furans were found in about a twenty metre wide swath of land running most of the way from north to south along the property line. Of course by not doing soil sampling much farther away from the Uniroyal site they "scoped" the whole process down as they always favour doing in order to save shareholders' money and the public interest be damned. Also continuing along the scoping path, again for the same reasons ($), they only sampled and excavated the top 15 cm (5.9 inches) of soil. The vast majority of the site, especially in the most likely areas, has been intentionally ignored. Only professional liars with the full backing of our municipal, regional and provincial politicians would dare to pull off the magnitude of this coverup.
Maybe various GHD twits like Luis and Allan are capable of carrying the day in selling their version of reality to TRAC members who have proven their deferential natures and willingness to hold their noses during public meetings. It's also generally easy to bull**it media folks with little to no understanding of the big picture and who have been instructed not to become better informed about the details. Such a disappointment the media have become over the last twenty years. Investigative journalism my a**.
