AGENDA ITEM 3.2.1 FOR THIS THURSDAY'S TAG MEETING

That Agenda Item is "Bibliography of reports relevant to eastside remedial activities". It is my understanding that the TAG Chair, Tiffany Svensson, requested TAG (& CPAC) member Dr. Sebastian Seibel-Achenbach to produce this list for the greater education and understanding of TAG members in regards to the very clear knowledge that has existed for decades regarding contamination on the Stroh (and Martin) farms immediately east and south of Uniroyal/Lanxess Canada. ...................................................................................................... These reports, both text and maps, paint a picture that demonstrates the inherent deception, incompetence? and corruption that has occurred regarding the Elmira Water Crisis for more than three decades. If it was only incompetence than the guilty parties (Uniroyal/Lanxess, Ont. MOE, Woolwich Twp. etc.) would have long ago, upon citizen insistence, reviewed these exact same professionally done documents and reports and voluntarily done a proper investigation. Instead they have denied, denied and denied all the while doing surficial soil sampling (15 cm/5.9 inches) only along the company's east side property line with the Stroh farm. They would have not wasted the last six years avoiding a proper investigation as well as removing the bulk of the citizens who discovered the problem. This removal was via the new contemptible rules around TAG /RAC which removed the citizens/public RIGHT to ask questions and offer comments. .......................................................................................................... Now we will see if spoon feeding TAG the proper documentation will result 1) in all of them reading it 2) in TAG insisting on greater and deeper soil sampling in and around the Stroh Drain, Ditch & Berm (SDDB). Keep in mind that none of the guilty parties have so provided this info to TAG and in fact let's see if Woolwich Twp. is even willing to share these reports with TAG. If not, these reports are all here waiting for the right folks to ask for them.
