RECENT ACTIONS RELEVANT TO THE LAST FEW POSTINGS HERE

First of all I reread Sebastian Seibel-Achenbach's excellent ten page Summary of numerous MOE, Morrison Beatty, Conestoga Rovers (CRA), CH2M Hill reports produced back in the 1980s and very early 1990s. I will go so far as to say that I believe that outright fraud may have been committed in some of these consultant's reports, on behalf of Uniroyal Chemical. This fraud seems apparent in the relocation by CRA of GP-1 on the Uniroyal site. It also seems apparent in the failure to include the Stroh Drain, Ditch & Berm (SDDB) in both photos and maps showing shallow groundwater flows on the extreme east side of Uniroyal Chemical. The particular report also shows plume maps of various contaminants in the shallow aquifer and fails to mention that some of the monitoring wells right on the Uniroyal/Stroh border that allegedly are part of the plume map are in fact either decommissioned (grouted etc.) or are actually not screened in the shallow aquifer but into the Upper Aquitard thus likely decreasing the concentration of contaminants right on the Stroh property line. Of course the failure to include a well below-grade drain on the Stroh property immediately beside the Uniroyal site also supports the consultants probably false narrative that no grossly contaminated shallow groundwater flowed from Uniroyal to the Stroh property. Of course the Stroh Drain was constructed in 1983 and some of these maps and reports were produced in 1992. Odd that they "forgot" to include the SDDB in so many of their reports for so many decades isn't it? ................................................................................................................ I then further summarized Sebastian's ten page report down to three postings namely January 29, January 30 and February 1, 2021. Along with them I included a brief introduction to the TAG (Technical Advisory Group) members to whom I e-mailed this information. A day or so later I also sent those three postings along with another introduction to all Woolwich Council members. Lastly I sent one last copy to one member of the media although not to our local, in-town newspaper which unfortunately has long ago been muzzled?/co-opted?/intimidated?/warned off? by Chemtura?/Lanxess?/Woolwich Township?/local business owners & power brokers? ................................................................................................ The evidence and smoking guns regarding serious contamination of the Stroh property (& likely Martin as well) are incredible especially when you know the big picture going back to the very first (1984) Control Order laid on Uniroyal Chemical by the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE). The only way that all the guilty parties (Woolwich Township, MOE, Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura/Lanxess, CRA, GHD, local MPPs, Region of Waterloo?, federal government?) have been able to "forget" the evidence and smoking guns is via intentional obtuseness, fraud and or corruption. Of course having a politically pliant local judicial system has also aided and abetted the conspirators. Otherwise the fraud and corruption resulting in both environmental and human health negative effects would have been sucessfully prosecuted decades ago.
