LOOKING AT TEQ (Dioxins) CONCENTRATIONS IN BOTH SEDIMENTS & SOILS IN AND AROUND UNIROYAL/LANXESS THE "GIG" AND OTHER CREEKS
Today I'm comparing results from both the 2017 Canagagigue (the "Gig") Investigation as well as the recently released (5 weeks ago) 2020 Canagagigue Creek Investigation. Please note that I am currently focused on Dioxin (i.e. TEQ) results. This is because it is harder for Lanxess/GHD and other professional intellectual prostitutes to pretend that 2,3,7,8 TCDD (tetrachlorodibenzodioxin) came from sources other than themselves and because the DDT and metabolyte (DDD, DDE) results have been so badly buggerred by incredibly high Method Detection Limits which effectively hide positive detections of these toxic chemicals.
.............................................................................................................................
The recent 2020 report had a total of seven locations up and down the Canagagigue Creek starting from Larch's Creek, a third of a mile upriver, to Reach 2 in the Canagagigue Creek wuich is almost but not quite all the way downstream to the Grand River nearly five miles away. A total of 51 sediment samples were taken with only four exceeding the Stroh Drain sediment result of 24.4 parts per trillion (ppt. or pg/g). Therefore the Stroh Drain TEQ sediment result equals or exceeds 90% of all the sediment samples taken in this report with only four locations on the Uniroyal/Lanxess site exceeding it. That speaks loudly to the Stroh Drain being significantly contaminated with dioxins.
.................................................................................................................................................
The 2017 report was much more extensive with a total of five locations with however a total of 327 sediment samples taken and analysed for dioxins (TEQ). Of those 327 a grand total of 19 of them exceeded the 2020 Stroh Drain sediment concentration of dioxins namely 24.4 ppt. Therefore the concentration of dioxins in sediment at the Stroh Drain in 2020 exceeded 94% of all the dioxin concentrations found in this report. Again this speaks very loudly as to the significance of the dioxin findings found in the Stroh Drain recently. This in fact negates the heavy duty horse manure that has been peddled by (Uniroyal), Chemtura, Lanxess and GHD since the public (CPAC) discovered the Stroh Drain in May 2014. They (and the MOE/MECP) have been in loud denial that the overflowing east side toxic waste pits crossed over further south onto the Stroh property. They do admit encroachment onto the Stroh property further north directly beside their waste pits but have bluntly, blatantly and incomprehensibly denied encroachment further south which has allowed liquid toxic wastes to enter the Stroh Drain and from there flow into the Canagagigue Creek downstream.
..........................................................................................................................
Tomorrow I may give a report here regarding dioxin concentrations in Soil from both the 2017 and 2020 reports. The purpose is to give readers an overview as to the majority of dioxin concentrations found in either creekbank or floodplain soils. This will also give readers a point of comparison with any future, potential soil readings that are ever taken in and around the Stroh Drain which I usually refer to as the Stroh Drain, Ditch & Berm (i.e. SDDB).
