I've recently been posting here about Jesse Wright's of Arcadis incredible revelations at last month's TRAC meeting (June 19/25). Mr. Wright kept it as low key as possible but between his maps presented on overhead screens as well as his words there are at least SIX "chlorobenzene potential off-site sources". Oh my God and he said this as if it were nothing. Is this why Lanxess are bringing in third party patsies i.e. to share the blame ? Just like Stantec being involved in the Creek Risk Assessment is the idea to put bodies, companies and layers of patsies between the first class LIARS of yesterday and the revelations of truth today?
"Chlorobenzene potential off-site sources" could indicate individual companies such as Borg, Sanyo, Varnicolor, Motiveair etc. having illegally spilled and dumped chlorobenzene on their properties. At least that is where the yellow (sort of) rectangles representing off-site locations roughly appear to be. Or maybe it's something else altogether such as what I told CPAC back around 2006 namely that free phase DNAPL had been found one hundred feet below ground surface at OW57-32 beside the Howard St. Water Tower. All the professional liars (MOE, Chemtura, CRA) rushed in to say oh no the evidence isn't conclusive enough. No it's not DNAPL it's dissolved chlorobenzene or whatever else bull**it they could dream up. This included Susan Bryant and other CPAC members at the time. CPAC even then was helping Uniroyal/Chemtura and the Min. of Environment cover up the truth .
The DNAPL found at OW57-32 could have gravity flowed from Borg or Varnicolor. It could possibly even have gravity flowed underground from Uniroyal Chemical. But nobody wanted to know! Covering up DNAPL with everybody's complicity including APTE's (i.e. Susan Bryant) was the big deal. To admit that there was free phase DNAPL off-site in particular made the chances of a successful pump & treat even lower than they already were. Pump & Treat may work for dissolved contaminants but it is ridiculously slow on DNAPL which could take between decades and centuries to fully dissolve.
Could this also be the evidence needed to finally get a Public Inquiry or equivalent into Ministry of the Environment corruption? How could it be possible not to have detected some dissolved chlorobenzene in and around Varnicolor Chemical after I exposed them in 1990? The answer is easy. More lying by them. Yes they had promised a full horizontal and VERTICAL delineation of the soils and groundwater beneath Varnicolor. They then totally reneged on that promise. They did not do the deeper soil or groundwater sampling required to find excessive concentrations of chlorobenzene there from either their own dumping or from DNAPL released and gravity flowing from Uniroyal Chemical. There was evidence at CH38 near Sanyo Canada (Industrial Dr. & Oriole Parkway) of excessive chlorobenzene in the groundwater for decades. Excessive in relation to the plume leaving Uniroyal Chemical.
Sitting back and merely enjoying the guilty parties squirming could be fun. Watching them face legal jeopardy for lying to the public, Breach of Trust and or other possible legal consequences would be better in order to dissuade future bad actors. The question is who will initiate this legal action when all our political actors also have tainted hands?
