MORE ON THURSDAY EVENINGS CPAC MEETING
High soil concentrations of both NDMA and Chlorobenzene have been found on the Yara (Nutrite) site. These are between 20 and 30 metres below surface. Jeff Merriman of Chemtura explained them as being due to groundwater contamination leaving Chemtura and moving through the Yara site and leaving Chlorobenzene particularily adsorbed onto the soil. Personally I'm skeptical and am pursuing this further.
Chemtura have dropped out of active participation in the O.M.B. hearing regarding the Hawk Ridge Homes proposed development across from their site. This is very strange and Dan Holt of CPAC questioned both Chemtura and the M.O.E. as to what would happen if Chemtura chose to depart Elmira suddenly. Dan also got a commitment from the M.O.E. that they would step in and at least keep the groundwater pump and treat system going.
My "Delegation" ie. presentation to CPAC was primarily about the DNAPL (dense non aqueous phase liquid) found on the west side of Varnicolor near the Elmira water tower. I included the pages from the Conestoga Rovers report describing this contaminant. I also included plume maps clearly showing a plume of Chlorobenzene emanating from this DNAPL which is 100 feet below ground level. Another plume map included showed a source of NDMA just south of Sanyo Canada in Elmira. My belif is that this NDMA is from either Varnicolor, Borg textiles or Sanyo.
All groundwater and soil samples to be taken from 84 Howard Ave. (formerly 62 Union St.) are to be shared with CPAC and moi. This was promised by the M.O.E. and as we are all in the same boat regarding restoring our drinking water aquifer, this is appropriate.
We are still awaiting the peer review regarding the release over a year ago of BLE-25 into Elmira's air. This obviously is well overdue.

Your delegation, Sir, was a JOKE
ReplyDeleteHey I work at Sanyo - keep your BS theories to yourself
ReplyDeleteComment one: First of all you weren't present for the Delegation. Secondly I haven't posted here the writeup of my delegation. Thirdly the data I presented was produced by Conestoga Rovers, consultants to Uniroyal.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you work for Sanyo. I repeat, I do not produce the plume maps, Conestoga Rovers on behalf of Chemtura do. A copy of this data has gone to all CPAC members as well as to the local media. With any luck you'll be reading about next week in the paper.
ReplyDeleteWith any "luck" this site will get shut down for naming people in a bad light - especially Chemtura employees
ReplyDeleteUniroyal?? - the fact that you refer to the company is such is PROOF you have lost all objectivity and are living in the past - Al - some advice - anger is poison - don't hang on for it too long
ReplyDeleteSanyo's lawyer should be called
ReplyDeleteOn Monday I will notify Sanyo's corporate Counsel about the accusations publically posted on this website
ReplyDeleteI often use the name Uniroyal synonomously with Chemtura because they have only been called Chemtura for a few short years. The Uniroyal name was around for decades. Therefore it is for the clarification of readers. In regards to proof of anything you are grasping .
ReplyDeleteFeel free to call Sanyo at anytime. If however you are smart you will reread my post first. There are no "accusations" as such. The facts are that there is a plume with elevated concentrations of NDMA starting near well CH38 which is on the Sanyo canada property. I will repeat my "accusation". The plume is either from Borg, varnicolor or Sanyo.
Sanyo has been made aware of the comments made on this blog.
