CHEMTURA LAST DITCH PUFFERY REGARDING 2028 DEADLINE

Well we've gotten rid of Josef Olejarz of Chemtura and his nonsense as stated in the Woolwich Observer on December 15, 2012 namely "Our intention is to meet the deadline. We have no reason to believe we won't meet the deadline." Unfortunately that still leaves lots of client driven consultants not to mention the ever loyal (to their "clients") MOE (MECP).

At a CPAC meeting a few days prior, Chemtura and their consultants, CRA, unveiled a 3D model of the groundwater under their site and under Elmira. Of course they had had this model for several years and just decided to share it with the public and CPAC in December 2012. Also we learned that as part of the payoff (my opinion) for past cooperation they had years prior given a copy of this 3D computer model to Susan Bryant. She had not shared it with either CPAC, UPAC, her colleagues, the public, and probably not with her fellow APT members if any other than Shannon Perves Smith still exist.

Dr. Dan Holt addressed Woolwich Council and it absolutely incensed Chemtura. Dwight Este of Chemtura denied that the verification team from the Chemical Industry Association of Canada (CIAC) had rejected Chemtura's latest attempt to be reverified under *Responsible Care. Dr. Holt had advised Council that a discussion among the verification team members made it clear that they were not satisfied with Chemtura's efforts and public outreach. While accurate, nevertheless the verification team members including Pat McLean reversed themselves and gave Chemtura their verification. For me this was the final straw with the CIAC. I felt that like their predecessors the CCPA they were no more than a public relations facade, promoting Canadian chemical companies so called outreach and dialogue with the public. It was all a sham.
