REMEDIATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING (RAC) THIS THURSDAY 4 PM. IN WOOLICH COUNCIL CHAMBERS



Item 1. on the Agenda is Disclosures of Pecunairy Interest. That will be the start of the deception as all parties will deny having any. But for pecuniary interests why would anyone tolerate Chemtura or the Ontario Ministry of the Environment? Jobs and taxes for the former and provincial money from the Ontario government to the Township with the latter.

Item 3. Delegations. CPAC will be giving a Delegation to RAC in regards to Item 4.2 on the Agenda namely "Supplemental and east Side Surficial Soil and groundwater Investigation Report - Chemtura".

Other items on the Agenda include 4.1 Responsible care Update - Chemtura. What a joke. Will Pat McLean, friend and supporter of Chemtura be back on the local group "judging" (HA!) Chemtura. She voted in favour of them last time. Dr. Dan Holt did not and surprise, surprise do you see him back on that group? Not bloody likely.

Agenda Item 4.3 Canagagigue Creek remediation...reports...response to Chemtura letter. The M.O.E. want field work and a report completed by the end of this fall. Chemtura prefer next year. Guess who will get their way?

Agenda Item 4.4 is Groundwater Clean-up response to findings at technical Experts meeting - MOECC. This could get interesting. More is needed than even enhanced pump and treat. Bioremediation, ISCO etc. are being suggested.

RAC are Sandy Shantz's alleged "stakeholders". Funny how most of them were nowhere to be found for over a decade including the Region of Waterloo and the Grand River Conservation Authority. Now they're back - sort of. Four public meetings a year. I sure hope this isn't a strain on them including Chemtura, M.O.E., Woolwich Township etc.. The good news was Dr. Jackson although he's resigned effective December 31/16. A Neil Thompson from the University of Waterloo Civil Engineering (& Environment?) is assisting Chemtura. Dr. Jackson vouches for him which is a good sign.

This is a public meeting folks so come on out.
