WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR LANXESS CANADA TO RESTORE THEIR NAME AMONGST OLDER, MORE KNOWLEGABLE & EXPERIENCED ELMIRA CITIZENS?

I've recently been criticizing the hypocrisy of Lanxess Canada donating money to both local and international environmental and water issues while deceptively and surrepticiously making deals not in the public environmental and health interest with the Ontario Ministry of Environment and with Woolwich Township. So I see a few major actions that Lanxess need to do to regain any respect from the last and best CPAC (formerly Chemtura Public Advisory Committee-currently Citizens Public Advisory Committee). ................................................................................................................................ First reappoint (with an apology) the current CPAC members to TAG. This might require Woolwich Council approval but they did remove CPAC six years ago at Chemtura's insistence. Second begin both greater off-site pumping in the Elmira Aquifers while simultaneously stopping literally years of excuses about this well and that well which aren't working properly. Thirdly Begin a serious and professional application of In -Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) in and around higher contaminant concentrations in the Aquifers. Fourthly Begin removing contaminated soils in and around the Stroh Drain, Ditch and Berm (SDDB). Chemtura and Lanxess have had seven years to do soil sampling around the SDDB and have refused so just go in with a backhoe and start digging. You will see, smell and breathe the contamination. If you're too self-serving and dishonest to do the cleanup properly in the first place then you deserve to be stuck with a greater cleanup as a result. Fifthly start removing highly contaminated sediments from the bottom of the creek both where you have repeatedly tested over the decades as well as where you haven't (presumably depositional areas). Sixly go back and start removing known areas of DNAPL from your site. A couple are admitted but a number of others are readily apparent both from soil and groundwater sampling despite your client driven consultants pretending otherwise. ............................................................................................................................... This is a start. It could also be of benefit to get the hell rid of RAC (Remediation Advisory Committee) which are primarily a bunch of bureaucrats and politicians doing what politicians love to do which is talk about a problem while resolving nothing, preferably over the greatest time period possible.
