CHEMTURA CANADA FEBRUARY 2014 PROGRESS REPORT

Well if you've been following my Blog/Website for any length of time you know that these monthly Progress Reports are anything but. They attempt to put a positive spin on a situation that is out of control. For example it has now been about seventeen months since Chemtura through their consultants (CRA) stated that their new plan was to triple off-site pumping and do source removal via In-Situ Chemical Oxidation. To date we have nothing but negatives in regards to their test results for the suitability of ISCO. Secondly in regards to off-site pumping, for every well they increase pumping another well decreases. The total off-site pumping for February was 55.7 litres per second and the longtime target pumping rate has been 53.1 l/sec. This off-site pumping rate includes wells W3, W4, W5A/B and E7.

Yes both on and off site pumping are achieving their old target pumping rates but Chemtura/CRA, AFTER CPAC & Woolwich publicly advised their old rates weren't doing the job, promised to TRIPLE them. So far no sign thereof. They are really long on promises and really short on delivery. More and more it becomes obvious that they are simply running out the clock. They and the M.O.E. just want to be left alone pretending to clean up this grossly contaminated site. They are and have been using public consultation as a strategy of public deception.
