SUPPRESSION OF TRUTH BIG BUSINESS IN WOOLICH TOWNSHIP

Wriggling and squirming are harder to notice during virtual meetings than live ones, unfortunately. Certainly embarassment can be better hidden as participants either briefly shut off their cameras or even as they step away from them for a few minutes. Certainly TAG and Ministry of Environment (MOE/MECP) discussions about the inappropriateness of using "upstream" creek monitoring beside Bolender Park would fit into this category. Yours truly has publicly taken Uniroyal, Crompton, Chemtura and now Lanxess to task for this bulls.it for decades. Bolender Park may be geographically "upstream" from Uniroyal/Lanxess as they are located south of Church St. (Hwy #86) whereas Bolender Park (aka Bolender Park Landfill) is fully located north of Hwy #86. The problem of course is that the former landfill (1962-1970 approx.) is home to both municipal and industrial wastes including those from Uniroyal Chemical, Varnicolor Chemical and many other local industries. It certainly was "helpful" , convenient and self-serving having the General Manager of Uniroyal Chemical as the Chairman of the Sanitation Committee which supervised industrial discharges into the landfill. Gad and yet idiots like pretend mayor Shantz and other Woolwich councillors and senior staff all denied and minimized the problem. They all get to wear this one folks. By the way the neverending excuses that the M2 landfill on the Uniroyal/Lanxess site as well as the First St. Landfill (immediately south of the site) being hydraulically contained by pumping wells does not cover the Bolender Park Landfill. All the pumping wells whether shallow or deep are far too far south and are intended to stop contaminant flow leaving the site not stop contaminant flow from leaving upstream contaminated sites. Hence the Cangagigue Creek is negatively affected by not only the upstream uncontained, unremediated properties but also from further downstream illegal waste sites such as Varnicolor's Lot 91 which was never properly or fully remediated. It was intended to continue to discharge into Landfill Creek which then drains into the Canagagigue well below the Uniroyal/Lanxess property.
