THIS THURSDAY'S (VIRTUAL) TAG MEETING AGENDA

TAG of course stands for Technical Advisory Group. Although conceived by two Woolwich councillors in deception and deceit, quite frankly there is some very strong talent on the committee.Without slighting the others let me suggest that Wilson Lau is looking really good and Dustin Martin has a critique of Lanxess's alleged "2021 Comprehensive East Side Groundwater Report" that is excellent. Well done! ......................................................................................................................... What is nowhere to be found on the Agenda is a discussion of TAG member, Sebastian Seibel-Achenbach's November 2020 Appeal to his fellow TAG members. While I can appreciate if there are some background efforts being made, the fact is that Sebastian's concerns are legitimate and strongly based upon both common sense and available undisputed facts and data. Tha fact that Lanxess and Ramin Ansari are so "snakebitten" about this issue is to damn bad. They like their predecessors have moved heaven and earth to diminish, minimize, ignore and avoid the contamination that flowed from their property through the Gap area and over to the low lying soils on the Stroh property. ...................................................................................................................................... It seems odd to me that two e-mails that I sent TAG plus local politicians are on the TAG Agenda yet Sebastian's written concerns from seven months ago are not. I'll be blunt. Unless or until a proper and honest investigation of the soils in, around and EAST of the north end of the Stroh Drain has occurred then everything else involved with the Site Specific Risk Assessment of the Canagagigue Creek becomes merely a sham and a coverup. Having the guilty polluting parties in charge of the investigations and cleanup has always been an abomination. They have no shame, no guilt and no integrity and they keep proving it over and over again. TAG are trying hard but are vastly outgunned, outfinanced and overpowered by corrupt local politicians putting money, power and influence ahead of Woolwich citizens. As always.
