MORE CHEMTURA GAMES

Conestoga's Rover's Work Plan regarding removal of Dioxins in GP1 & 2 has been distributed. It also was not handed out prior to the June 30/11 public CPAC meeting thus making informed and knowledgable questions impossible. This Report is all too typical of CRA's work. It's stated objective is contrary to what CPAC asked for. It is vague and totally non specific in areas that require clarity including the size of the proposed test pits. While claiming to dig four metres below ground it then qualifies this by saying that is dependent upon the excavaters available. Excuse me but rent/buy/steal/borrow the proper equipment for the job! We are further advised that sixteen 4 metre deep boreholes will be dug and ONE yes 1 soil sample will be taken from a four metre deep x ? wide x ? long testpit. That is ridiculous. The fact that we are assurred that CRA who have probably made millions of dollars over more than two decades of client driven consulting work for Chemtura (Uniroyal), will carefully pick the most contaminated samples for soil testing, does NOT reassure me. We've had twenty-two years of non good faith public consultation from Chemtura (Uniroyal) and Mayor Cowan made it clear during and after his election campaign that a real cleanup was imminent. Let the horse manure stop and the source removal begin!
