I HAVE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN

After decades of waiting it is now irrevocable. A committee of citizens from a broad range of interests, careers and perspectives have come together and formed a cogent, clear understanding of the big picture surrounding Chemtura Canada's on and off-site pollution. They have also assessed and found terribly wanting the efforts and credibility of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. While past public advisory committees (CPAC) have had individual members with a good understanding of what's been going on in Elmira; those past CPAC's had not publicly and in writing done their duty and unequivocally advised the public that the company and M.O.E. were involved in a coverup and in a pretend cleanup.

Tomorrow evening the Chair of CPAC, Dr. Dan Holt will be a Delegate to Council. He will be presenting a Resolution and asking for Council's support and endorsement thereof. This Resolution is a bombshell publicly stating that the M.O.E. have refused to do their duty regarding investigation and or cleanup of the property to the immediate east of Chemtura, immediately beside their eastern former toxic waste pits. These compounds include Dioxins as well as DDT in the soils, sediments, ground and surface water. Some of the details can be found on the Woolwich Township website which carrys the Agenda and Package for Council meetings (see October 14/14).
