IDIOT BUREAUCRATS VERSUS COMPETENT TECHNICAL PEOPLE RUN THE M.O.E.C.C.

A letter dated November 4, 2014 was sent by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to the Township of Woolwich, in response to CPAC's October Resolution and Council's endorsement thereof. This letter was of course then appropriately distributed to CPAC and their SWAT sub-committee of which I am a member. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the sheer stupidity, nonsense and woeful ignorance displayed in the letter. Then of course there is also the rudeness and disrespect inherent in the letter. It is clearly attempting to put Council on the defensive by suggesting they don't know what they are talking about and they are are not up to date on current issues. Also of course is the question as to which M.O.E. idiot actually wrote the letter. Talk about gutless wonders! There is a scribbled signature, nothing typed, that could be anything from Ilich to Wich then another handwritten word that could be "for". Beside that is the typed name of Mili New Director West Central Region. Hence we are to believe that the new director with all of thirteen months of experience in the M.O.E. has some nameless, anonymous mandarin writing a letter on her behalf to a municipality hosting the most contaminated site in the province. A municipality requesting assistance and action from the M.O.E..

We are incorrectly advised that the M.O.E. sampled downstream in the Canagagigue Creek during 2013 and 2014. The facts are that it was initially sampled in this latest round in 2012 and those DDT results were horrific. Horrific as in far worse than the original round in 1995-1996. Secondly the M.O.E. have graciously stated that they "...are willing to consider the grounds for CPAC's assertion of reasonable and probable grounds for more investigations...". Well bully for you! They then suggest they are willing to consider whether the MTE Report could withstand the rigours of a legal challenge. Really! How about you idiots for even five seconds considering whether Conestoga Rover's client driven reports "...could withstand the rigours of a legal challenge.".

The M.O.E. are informing us that Chemtura were requested to proceed with planning "...a soil sampling project on the east and south borders of their property.". This plan will be most likely a Conestoga Rovers & Associates Plan or CRAP for short.
