Topography: "a description of all the surface features, natural and artificial, of a particular region". Also
"the science of drawing maps and/or diagrams which represent these features ".
So what is so difficult for our so called educated councillors, consultants, Ministry of Environment, experts and others in positions of authority to understand? Why are they ignoring the most obvious evidence of gravity flowing, toxic liquid wastes having overflowed from the east side pits (RPE 1-5) onto the Stroh property for almost the whole length of the Uniroyal/Lanxess east side property line? These same biased and apparently blind persons have already admitted to overflow crossing from Uniroyal Chemical eastwards onto the Stroh property and done a minor excavation (15 cm. or 5.9 inches deep) and removed DDT and Dioxins in the soil in 2019, fifty years after the ending of the overflowing east side pits. This overflowing was based upon approximately 165,000 gallons per day of liquid wastes being pumped through two pipelines over to these open to the sky, pits. Plus without a cover over them simple rainstorms would help overflow these pits. Finally Uniroyal, the MECP and Lanxess have all admitted that the pits did indeed overflow and run southwards and eastwards.
The answer to Why? is unfortunate. It's called corruption and being a "captured" regulator. The Ontario Ministry of Environment (MECP) shares guilt and culpability with Uniroyal Chemical. The former M.O.E. made deals not in the public interest decades ago (1950s-1980s) with Uniroyal Chemical. They were afraid to fight them in court because Uniroyal had a larger legal budget than they did. Yes folks that is the reality of government enforcement of laws against wealthy multinational corporations.
The drawing of maps and/or diagrams as stated in the second line above refers to topographical contour lines. These lines show both the big picture of ground surface elevations as well as smaller areas of either depressions or higher ground. The big picture is demonstrated by contour lines that indicate where the ground elevation changes, either rising or falling. Liquids of course gravity flow from higher ground towards lower ground. Apparently self-interested and self-serving polluters, politicians and corrupt regulators are incapable of reading and understanding these quite simple maps. Or so they would have us believe.
the minor excavation done on the Stroh Farm was a COMPLETE FARCE and further evidence of negligence and coverup
