TWO MONTHS LATER AND THE JUNE 2021 TAG MINUTES ARE RELEASED

No it does not take two months to write the Minutes of a two hour meeting. Afterall I generally write the Minutes from the TAG meetings the very next morning and publish them here. One the meeting is fresh in my mind plus I've always taken notes (for decades) at these meetings. Unfortunately this time frame is nothing new and TAG, CPAC, UPAC members and the public have been the losers as they struggle to reconcile two month old Minutes with their recollections of the meeting. Much can be lost. ....................................................................................................................................... Page 3 of the Minutes indicates the significance of the then impending sediment results taken in the Stroh Drain. All of two locations only were taken which was pathetic considering the size and length of the Stroh Drain from the everflowing pipe at the north end to the discharge point into the Canagagigue Creek just downstream and on the opposite side (east) from the discharge point of Landfill Creek. This issue will also be discussed at Agenda Item 4.2.1 by Dr. Sebastian Seibel-Achenbach. Dioxin/furan TEQ (Toxic Equivalent Quotient) results greatly exceeded the federal sediment guidelines as well as exceeding most of the other TEQ sediment results. ......................................................................................................................... Pages 3 and 4 discuss "intergenerational bioaccumulation" and the text indicates that the Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) is unable to extend "that (protection) to more than one successive generation of (unborn) offspring.". I do not understand the acceptance by a single TAG member attending these private "Technical Experts meetings" of this position. ............................................................................................................................................... Page 5 discusses the alleged loophole whereby toxin results on private property somehow are immune from public release or exposure. Please stop the bullsh.t Ministry of Environment on this matter. Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura/Lanxess are all private companies and their soil and groundwater toxic concentrations have been a matter of public record for at least the past 32 years likely far longer. What is going on here is the seven to fourty year coverup of the release of Uniroyal Chemical liquid wastes to the Stroh farm and property at least between 1943 and 1970 which resulted in admitted adverse effects along the Uniroyal/Stroh property line and denied adverse effects further south in and around the Stroh Drain. Combined with this fantasy is all the guilty parties (CRA, GHD, Uniroyal-Lanxess, MOE/MECP and Woolwich Township) pretending that magically these liquid toxins via gravity and groundwater flow into the Drain didn't help pollute the Canagagigue Creek sediments, creekbank soils and floodplain soils as the Stroh Drain empties into the Canagagigue. ............................................................................................................................................ The Stroh property coverup is so blatant that just recently I've learned that allegedly deeper soil samples were taken on the Stroh property along the boundary with Lanxess yet the MOE/MECP and Lanxess have refused to release them to the public. Unbelieveable, ongoing corruption at its' best.
