We are now up to about 3/4 of Table B.1 in Chemtura's 2012 Annual Environmental Report. At CPAC we had been advised of three chemicals being shipped by rail only. As I've never seen their helicopter shipments of raw materials nor have I seen or heard their hovercraft going up and down the Canagagigue Creek; it is my suspicion that there may have been a tad bit of creative factual fictions going on.
