OFF-SITE PUMPING (i.e. ELMIRA) JUST GETS WORSE AND WORSE

Back on July 19/21 I posted here about the absolutely pathetic groundwater pumping and treating underway off the Lanxess property. Major pumping wells were either totally or mostly shut down which has been going on for the last few years at the same time as the company (Lanxess) have admitted that they won't be able to achieve their longterm promises (since 1998 at least) of restoring the Elmira Aquifers to drinking water standards by 2028. It seems that Uniroyal, Crompton, Chemtura, Conestoga Rovers and the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MECP) were full of hot air. Now the latest owner of the toxic waste site, Lanxess Canada, think that they deserve a break of some kind. A break that they don't deserve as their off-site pumping isn't even up to the proven inadequate pumping standards back in 2012 when all the guilty parties promised first to TRIPLE the pumping rates and then later to DOUBLE them. The lying filth can't even maintain them where they were. .......................................................................................................................... Approximately 50 litres per second is the total pumping of all off-site pumping wells in July 2021. Back in 2012 when Conestoga Rovers and Chemtura announced their breakthrough decision to TRIPLE the pumping rate they were averaging about 53 litres per second. Is it any wonder that I and other honest, informed citizens hold all the guilty parties in such contempt? Guilty parties include Woolwich Township who broke their own rules and procedures to remove volunteer citizens from CPAC in 2015. Chemtura and the MOE/MECP were crying for their Mommies because the volunteer citizens (many were senior citizens) were being too hard on them. Poor lying babies. Shame on Sandy Shantz and Woolwich Council.
