TAG MEETING TOMORROW EVENING

All paperwork has been received including the Revised Creek Sediment & Soil Investigation Work Plan that I posted about last week. That is very nice getting things ahead of time in order to be up on the latest info prior to the Technical Advisory Group meeting. Thank You Lisa.

The Updated Conceptual Site Model has also been received and read ahead of time. While there are a couple of spots in it that I'm finding odd, overall it is a very comprehensive piece of work. Congrats to Dr. Neil Thomson.

Part of the new business to be discussed tomorrow evening is Agenda Item 3.2 . That is a discussion of the flooding event in June of this year. The relevance of this to Chemtura/Lanxess relates to erosion of contaminated soils and creekbanks carrying DDT and Dioxins (and more) downstream.

What I do find bizarre and possibly bureaucracy run amok is Agenda Item 4.1 namely Accessibility Training Follow-Up. Undoubtedly Woolwich paid Staff and other municipal employees, by law, need to understand their responsibilities in dealing with citizens with various handicaps; but how TAG volunteers are impacted by this I really don't know.

The meeting is in Woolwich Council Chambers at 6:30 pm.. There usually is some good information to be gleaned from these meetings albeit there often is also bad news regarding delays and other gamesmanship from Chemtura and the Ontario Ministry of Environment.
