FOR THE MECP & LANXESS IT'S ALL ABOUT A SMOOTH TRANSITION COURTESY OF CHERRY PICKING RESULTS

 

They desperately need to convince the skeptical public that their government is in control. What with Global Warming and ever increasing rates of cancer, citizens are losing confidence and faith in their governments. Promised cleanups simply are not happening in any reasonable length of time. Species are disappearing as are arable land and clean drinking water. 

Jason Rice of the MECP wants to incorporate the old Control Order into a new ECA (Environmental Compliance Agreement. Of course as we have all seen both Control Orders and ECAs are paper tigers. They will be written in such a way that even the most pathetic compliance will take decades to sort out. More decades of more excuses and failures which will be blamed on absolutely everything except government and industry corruption.

Bless Hadley for telling the truth on one matter. She admitted that if the new ECA relies on pump & treat technology only that it will take more decades to clean Elmira's groundwater.  You can curse her if you wish for her comments on the downstream Canagagigue Creek. Five minute wonder Hadley is offended by the term "hot spots" She feels that the term unfairly characterizes some higher concentration areas. I do not. It merely points out where more sampling has indicated more exceedances of health criteria. Perhaps Hadley and Lanxess would prefer the term "increased environmental damage due to Uniroyal Chemical contempt for both human beings and the environment".

So at TRAC meetings Hadley, Luis and other crap simply are counting on TRAC members not remembering  all the dioxin results in the Creek SEDIMENTS. Generally they seem to prefer quoting Soil results and especially soil results not much higher than the 7 pg/g which is according to Jason Rice (MECP) is the Background screening result for dioxins. 

Both the 2017 and 2020 Canagagigue Creek sediment results far exceed  the SEDIMENT criteria for dioxins of .85 pg/g. all over the place and often by huge factors for dioxins. Of course the dishonest don't point that out.  

They are counting on the TRAC members not rereading the technical results so that they can cherry pick the ones they like.
