I know that interest had been renewed due to the Lanxess site tour in early May. I also know that inaccurate statements were made by Lanxess representatives to diminish the credibility of gravity flow of Uniroyal Chemical toxic liquid wastes over to the Stroh property. Of course it has become obvious over the decades that Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura and Lanxess are extremely adept at making, polishing and gilding falsehoods until they shine brightly. Then by repeating them over and over again even normally skeptical people can be slowly brought around. Maybe not fully but at least to the point where they know that disputing certain falsehoods is a waste of time. If propaganda worked for Dr. Goebbels then why not for chemical companies as well?
The most obvious proof positive versus mere evidence is both the finding and removal of dioxins/furans and DDT on the Stroh farm next to the Lanxess property line in 2019. Yes it was a typical polluter's Mickey Mouse "cleanup" but at least it proved that Uniroyal crap flowed over to the Stroh property/farm. Further very strong evidence would include the detections of dioxins/furans in the Stroh Drain at about 30 times greater than the federal criteria for sediments afterwards .
Finally no one from the MECP to Lanxess have ever clarified how NDMA was found in a deep Municipal Aquifer well a couple of hundred metres cross gradient and a little upgradient from Uniroyal/Lanxess.
Of course it is very helpful when both politicians and media know their place in the food chain and are careful not to rock the boat or the gravy train.
coverup at all costs rather than exposing cause of action!
