MORE INFO FROM THE "ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT * PHASE I " (Aug. 91) RE: STROH DRAIN, DITCH & BERM (SDDB) AREA EAST OF IT

First off on a barely semi-related note: This report above has a number of references to local landfills and Uniroyal Chemical and other industries contributing to them. This includes (pg. 33) part of the M2 landfill now on the Lanxess property being reburied in the First St. Landfill immediately downstream of Lanxess and right on the Canagagigue Creek. Pg. 26 & 33 also reference DPA (diphenylamine) tars being buried in M2. Plus more. .................................................................................................................. Page 37 references "vegetative stress" both along the Canagagigue Creek as well as to the east of RPE-1. Well to the east means the Stroh farm and this "vegetative stress" was visible for decades in planted crops next door as well as being proven a few short years back when the soil was (barely) tested i.e. 15 cm or 5.9 inches deep. .............................................................................................. Page 16 has a reference to "...recontouring the area in 1989." This area referenced was the extreme eastern side of the Uniroyal/Lanxess site right beside the Stroh farm. Despite this "recontouring" there were lots of high detections of DDT, dioxins/furans there and even some PCBs in a test pit. ............................................................................................................... There are further references to overflow from the east side pits being collected in open ditches and drained towards the gravel pit on page 39. The next page (40) suggests that many of the used drums deposited in RPE-4 & 5 ruptured at the time of disposal. An estimate of 3,400 drums were in these two pits with the majority in the southern pit RPE-5 which of course is closest to the SDDB (Stroh Drain, Ditch & Berm). These two pits (RPE-4 & 5) were not excavated until the fall of 1993. .............................................................................................. There is no honest way around the huge probability of a sink of DDT, dioxins/furans and possibly PCBs and more in the lower lying area to the immediate east of the SDDB. Dishonest people with a financial conflict of interest will however maintain otherwise and their fellow travellors (politicians etc.) will support them.
