WOOLWICH COUNCIL - CPAC MEETING UPDATES & CLARIFICATIONS

 The meeting had oddly been set for today at 5:30 pm. That effectively removed CPAC and TAG member Sebastian Seibel-Achenbach from attending despite him filling out the multiple Doodle Polls and clearly indicating that he had a time conflict this evening.  Keep in mind that Sebastian was the only CPAC member who could stomach Woolwich hypocrisy, cheating and manipulation and reapply a second time to be on the new, proposed RAC and TAG. Dr. Dan Holt, CPAC Chair, very eloquently and strongly spelled out the facts of life to Woolwich Council regarding CPAC's decision not to attend. Dr. Dan left the door open if Woolwich Council sincerely wish to speak to us and learn the truth about the failed cleanup. 

My Saturday post very strongly condemned Woolwich Township, RAC, TAG, Lanxess and the Ont. Min. of Environment (MECP). Regarding Woolwich Council please note carefully the second last sentence :

"THIS, WOOLWICH COUNCIL IS THE MOST FLAGRANT EVIDENCE OF THE FAILURE OF RAC & TAG BUT THEN THAT WAS YOUR INTENT IN THE FIRST PLACE " 

That is indeed a condemnation of Woolwich Township behaviour but the timing is important. I am not yet convinced that the majority of this Council still favour a pretend cleanup. In other words that like past Councils they're all about appearances not about real environmental cleanup of groundwater, the Canagagigue Creek, soils and sediments. If I was convinced that this Council with lots of newcomers was already a lost cause then I wouldn't waste one minute of my time trying to sit down and quite frankly, educate them.  Yes I believe that the mayor, the TAG Chair, Lanxess and the MECP have spent the last eleven months trying to brainwash the new councillors with a ton of heavy duty bull. We at CPAC want at least a tiny opportunity to undue that damage and get this Council on track to fight for a real cleanup that includes restoring our drinking water, removing Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) from the Canagagigue Creek soil and sediments and remove some of the heaviest DNAPLS and LNAPLS from on the Lanxess site.

  1. looks like their intent is to have the meeting without Sebastian, so I think it is extremely important that Sebastian attends.
