THE LATEST GHD REPORT ON CONTAMINATED (by UNIROYAL) GROUNDWATER ON THE EAST SIDE STROH FARM

Page 1... Let's see now: "...on the property located at 6770 Line 86, Township of Woolwich, Ontario, henceforth referred to as the Property." And that folks is typical consultant doublespeak, garbage and misdirection intended to assure that future researchers, locals, honest citizens or authorities have no idea of where exactly these dishonest, slippery smooth consultants (GHD), their client (Lanxess Canada) and the allegedly responsible authorities (MOE/MECP) are referring to. For everyone living in or around Elmira over the last seventy-five or eighty years, they are referring to the Stroh farm (originally Earl & Eileen? Stroh now Ron Stroh). That's right, an active farm producing crops (corn, soybean etc.) on the lands immediately bordering some of the very worst toxic waste pits in North America. Oops that is so politically incorrect. It might upset people who eat local food produced either for direct human consumption or via cattle consumption. ..................................................................................................... 93 pages in length consisting of 32 pages of text plus cover pages and Table of Contents, 19 pages of Figures and 42 pages of Tables. No problem for someone like myself to read in a timely manner GHD's "2021 Comprehensive East Side Groundwater Report" dated March 21, 2021, received this morning by electronic transmission (e-mail). Hence of course as always at my expense to download and print off. (Thank you Dr. Henry Regier for your assistance). Oh did I mention that this report was promised to be on the TAG Agenda one week from today (April 8/21)? For someone with my background knowledge plus thirty years of reading literally hundreds of reports about Uniroyal Chemical, Crompton, Chemtura and now Lanxess Canada this is possible albeit laborious and difficult. For the more technically experienced and trained TAG members it will be very difficult. For the rest on TAG it simply isn't remotely possible for them to read, think, analyse and understand this much data all within a week. Not if they have full time jobs, families and other commitments than this part time volunteer work. ...................................................................................................................... These procedural battles (i.e. timeliness of reports for meetings) were fought and won decades ago here in Elmira. Over and over again they were fought and won only to have each new iteration of a disgusting chemical company continue to pretend to be interested in public consultation while doing everything possible to remove, replace, eliminate, marginalize and frustrate the honest citizens initially involved (since 1989). This means constantly fighting the same battles and lies over and over again. The TAG meeting on April 8/21 can only be attended virtually via lschafer@woolwich.ca or by phoning 519 6691647 (Woolwich Twn.).
