LAST THURSDAY'S CPAC MEETING

Graham Chevreau did a presentation showing CPAC, SWAT and the public the extremely high concentrations od DDT on the Chemtura site as well as downstream in the Canagagigue. The data goes back to 1996-97 as well as two more recent sets of data in 2012 and 2013. The data from 2014 is astonishingly not yet available from the M.O.E. which I interpret as them desperately trying to rejigger it into some less horrifying and inflammatory scenario. Good luck with that.

Graham also clearly showed that the 2012 and 2013 data taken from Station 21 is downstream from where the Stroh Drain discharges into the "Gig". All data seems to clearly indicate that DDT (& Dioxins) have been diverted/discharged from the east side of Chemtura onto the neighbour's property and from there via the Stroh Drain into the creek (Gig).

There was also discussion as to why the recent Conestoga Rovers proposed east side "investigation" is inadequate. Things like composite samples, too shallow soil testing and even the number and locations of sample points all indicate a pretend investigation only.

M.O.E. "malfeasance" was briefly discussed. Dr. Henry Regier brought up the "phantom mound" and how after it was discovered to be a facade neither Chemtura nor the M.O.E. advised CPAC. Yours truly had to do that. This off-site (CH 44) "mound" had been the excuse for years as to why Chemtura weren't increasing their pumping at PW4 in the heart of the most heavily contaminated on-site area.

I during questions from CPAC after my Delegation was able to explain and show how the doubling of soil removal from GP1 occurred precisely where a very small amount of overland flow was able to stickhandle through the high ground almost completely isolating Chemtura's alleged location of GP 1. This low funnel area allowed only a very small proportion of Chemtura's 173,000 gallons of liquid production waste per day into the supposed GP 1 area. In reality it seems far more probable that the bulk of their liquid wastes ran into the wetland north and east of their GP 1 into the GP 1 that is on the east side of the high ridge as per the M.O.E.'s 1983 map. From the east side of the ridge the liquids via gravity would have flowed south and mostly east into the Stroh Drain to be carried directly into the Canagagigue Creek.

This again is why Chemtura and the M.O.E. have run for help to the recently re-elected Woolwich Councillors. This is a scandal and may yet be the cause of a Public Inquiry into M.O.E. corruption.
