TAG AGENDA FOR THURSDAY OCTOBER 24, 2019

The first item under New Business is my written submission to TAG regarding overland flow of waste waters from the east side pits (RPE 1-5) that ended up in the Stroh Drain area and just east of it. I quote both volumes of waste waters as well as excuses and weasel words such as "seepage" and "intermittent flow" which are supposed to characterize approximately 165,000 Imperial Gallons Per Day (IGPD) being pumped across the Creek from the west side manufacturing facilities to the open pits, most sitting on clay. Both these reports as well as verbal claims by Uniroyal/Chemtura longtime employees indicate that furrows were ploughed in a north-south direction on the west side of the pits in order to funnel these liquid wastes southwards rather than let them flow westwards back into the Canagagigue Creek on the Uniroyal/Chemtura/Lanxess property.

The second item is an e-mail from CPAC member Ron Campbell dated September 6/19 which has a clarification in it from the public RAC meeting that presumably will be discussed.

The Detailed Discussion (section 4) will concern a Risk Assessment presentation as well as Lanxess responses to both MOE/MECP and TAG comments regarding Creek Contaminants of Concern and the draft Conceptual Site Model. I expect some pretty serious stickhandling here by Lanxess as the comments from both the MOE and TAG are very worthy and sharply to the point.

Section 5 of the Agenda will likely discuss the last three Progress Reports namely July, August, and September. Spoiler alert: there still is much more noise about "enhanced" off-site pumping and treating than is actually happening. Pumping well W9 is still not doing its thing or even close as per the September Progress Report. Also I might add that I sent Tiffany Svensson an e-mail two days ago quoting numbers from the June, July, and August Progress Reports that cast doubt upon GHD's NAPL responses to TAG and Tiffany's recent October 11, 2019 criticisms of the Creek Contaminants of Concern.
