NEWSPAPER REPORT ON "DIOXIN DEBATE"

Today's Elmira Independent has the report on the first public CPAC meeting since last November. This in fact, like the next public CPAC meeting scheduled for June 30/11, was actually an orientation meeting for the new CPAC members put on by the M.O.E.. I attended and was not impressed by the M.O.E.'s "orientation". Due to my presence as a delegation at the prior Woolwich Council meeting we were able to add a discussion of Dioxin removal from Chemtura's S.E. corner, namely the GP1 & 2 area. As I had written here a week ago yesterday, Gail Martin also concurred that it was Dan Holt and Vivienne Delaney who did the pushing of Chemtura towards Dioxin removal this summer. As per Wednesday's posting here in the Advocate; unless the Township step in firmly in opposition, I feel that Chemtura's reverification is a done deal, courtesy of the presence of former CPAC Chair Pat Mclean. Her participation as a community rep while being paid to be on the National Advisory panel of the Chemical Industry (C.I.A.C.) is an abomination and a disgrace.
