WOW ARE LANXESS EVER TRYING TO SELL THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL B/S

I received a copy today of the "2020 Canagagigue Creek Sediment and Soil Investigation Work Plan" produced by GHD, consultants to Lanxess Canada. It is best described as a crock of crap backed by a whole bunch of consolidated conveyers of coordinated crap. Now do not misunderstand here. While the final product would quite capably float to the top of the concrete pools in a sewage treatment plant, that does not necessarily mean that all the conveyers/purveyers of this crap are necessarily corrupt, dishonest or intentionally misleading the public. Just some of them. Large scale polluters, Varnicolor Chemical in Elmira for example, knew the importance of having credentialed, qualified staff in order to sell their bullsh.. . They had Masters students (chemistry) as well as a PHd. on staff. Now of course the PHd. (Dr. Bert Nalliah) was an honest man and he eventually had enough and went public with his concerns. The owner of Varnicolor, with my assistance as well, spent some quality time in jail. Some say not nearly enough considering the environmental damage that he caused in and around Elmira, Ontario. .............................................................................................. Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura/Lanxess have caused more damage than Varnicolor Chemical yet none of them have as yet seen the insdide of a jail cell. That is unfortunate in that it sends a signal that multi national, multi billion dollar companies are essentially exempt from the environmental rules that govern the rest of us. Money talks and unfortunately our politicians all have big ears. .......................................................................................................... I will of course read the entire report especially as the actual report is so tiny compared to the alleged 42 pages that were sent. Approximately 12 to 14 pages covers the text and two Figures presented. The rest appears to be all the Curriculum Vitae (resumes) of various staff who have assisted on the Work Plan. I wonder how many of them have actually read the finished product. I also can advise that most of them have not attended any UPAC, CPAC, RAC or TAG meetings over the decades. Hence they are advising/commenting only on what is set immediately before them by the guilty parties, not on the reality of the entire situation nor with any direct knowledge or experience of concerns expressed by the public. ...................................................................................................................... Seriously, two thirds of the report are "experts" Curriculum Vitae. Talk about marketing stinky horse manure as roses.
