SO WHAT EXACTLY IS LANXESS/MECP END GAME?

 Simple. They want a victory. They've had thirty-three well deserved years of humiliation, guilt and failure. Now do keep in mind that the first two of those three items were primarily from 1989-1996. The third one, "failure",  has only been acknowledged over the last four years or so regarding the failure to remediate the Elmira Aquifers to drinking water standards by 2028.. In between Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura/Lanxess have bullfrittered and gilded the lily unmercifully. They have made outlandish and outrageous claims of success constantly in support of the least expensive, least effective remediation methods possible. They have also made claims over the decades to having the interests of both Elmira and downstream Canagagigue Creek residents uppermost in all their plans. Such a pack of total garbage. For them it's about marketing their cleanup to the general public in the light of a cost-benefit analysis. If they can do a 20% cleanup and sell it to 60% of the general public then that is their definition of success. If that doesn't fly then they'll go with a 28% cleanup of the aquifers and the Creek in exchange for a 60% acceptance rate by the general public. Nowhere to be found is any plan to fully clean the aquifers, the Creek and their own still grossly polluted property.  This puts the entire efforts of pumping and treating the Elmira Aquifers at risk. Afterall if and when they fold their tents and leave do we the citizens have even the slightest confidence that somebody/anybody will step up? I think not and that specifically includes the Ontario Ministry of Environment whose credibility, veracity and ethics mirror those of the provincial politicians in charge whether Liberal or Conservative.
