TAG STRONGLY CRITICIZE STANTEC/LANXESS DRAFT RISK ASSESSMENT

 Stantec have included many of TAG's (Technical Advisory Group) comments in their June 6/22 responses to TAG's written comments sent to the Remediation Advisory Committee (RAC). Now do keep in mind that RAC are a fundamentally flawed body in a position of gross conflict of interest. First of all most of them don't have a clue technically. Secondly this group of bureaucrats, agencies and politicians are fundamentally just a bunch of appointees from regional council and Woolwich Council. They are not remotely independent either individually or as a group. If they were they would never have been appointed to  the GRCA or any other environmental or watchdog group by our elected politicians who jealously guard their turf. The last thing an elected official will ever do is appoint honest and independent persons to positions giving their appointees a platform unless the politicians are fully confident that their appointees will toe the line.                                                                                                                                                 ................................................................                                                                                                           I am pleased that much of the critical (of the Draft Risk Assessment) discussion at TAG appears to have actually made it into written comments and been presented to RAC. That is worthy of praise for Tiffany Svensson (TAG Chair)  who has appropriately not received much of that from me in the last two or three years. That said for me the proof is in the pudding. Will most TAG members rest on their laurels and be satisfied with simply verbal and written objections to what I view as an inherently flawed process (Risk Assessment) that is totally under the control of the polluter and his bought and paid for help (consultants and other fellow travellors maybe including some politicians )?                                                                    .......................................................................................                                                                                    I may elaborate on specific TAG and Stantec comments & responses tomorrow.
