CHEMTURA'S MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT FOR AUGUST 2016

Well first of all their on and off-site pumping was poor. However quoting their Alice in Wonderland wordsmanship "All wells operated at pumping rates greater than the Target Average pumping rates with the exception of PW5, W3, W4, W5A and W5B.". What this exactly means is that they achieved their pumping rates for PW4 on-site and E7 off-site. That's it.

According to page 5 Chemtura have submitted the Draft East Side Off-Site Investigation Work Plan to the MOECC on August 12, 2016. Also they have submitted a work-plan outline and anticipated schedule for sediment and soil investigation in the Canagagigue Creek to the MOECC on August 25, 2016. Neither of these submissions are on the Woolwich Township website nor have they been handed out to the only members of the public who attend every single TAG and RAC meeting, namely CPAC. This thank you Sandy and Mark is but one more reason to have removed CPAC members from the process in order to deny them (and the public) full access to the documentation. This is once again suppression of important documents hence denying true public consultation. Is it any surprise that I have zero respect for Chemtura and the M.O.E.. If they aren't outright lying to us then they are hiding documents regarding their pretend cleanups.

Chemtura's MISA (Municipal Industrial Strategy for Abatement) discharges to the creek contain low levels of all the usual solvents and pesticides. No change from forever as their site continues to leak one way or the other into the natural environment.

Similarily their concentrations of various solvents in their on-site shallow aquifer wells are as high as always. In the real world rather than their Alice in Wonderland world that would indicate both free phase LNAPLS and DNAPLS still remaining on their site.

There is one change in their surface water testing in the creek that runs through their site (the "Gig"). Besides BEHP being statistically higher upstream than downstream and Toluene being the other way around now we can add Xylene to the mix as it is slightly higher downstream than up.

Table D.1 is labelled as Off-Site Routine Groundwater Monitoring Program when in fact there are more on-site wells sampled than off-site. Perhaps GHD are picking up some of CRA's bad habits.
