LATE HALLOWEEN HORROR- LIKE DRACULA THE HAWK RIDGE PROPOSAL NEVER DIES

Well I've received a Notice from Woolwich Township in regards to the clearly immortal Hawk Ridge Homes Draft Plan of Subdivision. This incredibly stupid to the point of negligence proposed subdivision is to be located beside the former Varnicolor Chemical and across Union St. from Sulco (Canada Colours) and Lanxess Canada (formerly Uniroyal). When first proposed the idea was an abomination. Afterall there was a documented kill zone radiating westwards from Uniroyal (Chemtura) that encompassed the proposed residential subdivision. This kill zone was based upon the worst case scenario at Uniroyal/Chemtura in the event of a spill or release of toxic compounds. At the time we were advised that Anhydrous Ammonia was the potentially most lethal compound that could be released and travel in the air across Union St. and possibly up to approximately 700 metres away from the chemical plant. .......................................................................................................... So where are we today? Good question. I haven't the foggiest and I've been carefully watching, listening and reading everything I can get my hands on regarding that chemical plant. We the public have been advised that the plant no longer handles Anhydrous Ammonia. Assuming we are being told the truth, and there are lots of reasons to take everything they say with a grain of salt, the new question is : What is now the Worst Case Scenario?". Well golly gee I sure as heck have seen absolutely nothing. Why? Is our Conservative Provincial government telling Ontario chemical plants to relax and don't lose any sleep about the Worst Case Scenario requirements put in place from a previous government? If so then I would love to see young Dougie Ford move up here and be the first in line to buy (AND LIVE IN) a house in that proposed subdivision.
