I believe that it might have been Dr. Richard Jackson who coined the phrase in the title above. Essentially it is the mystical methodology allowing Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura and Lanxess to avoid doing serious remediation with known technologies while they wait for the magic bullet technology that 1) does not exist 2) is less expensive than all others 3) cleans all contaminants including chlorinated compounds (i.e. solvents, TCE, Chlorobenzene, NDMA, dioxins/furans, DDT, PAHs, and more).
This "magic bullet" was not described as such at the last RAC meeting (Dec. 7/23) however it was referred to as "...any new technical information available that may change the options available...". In other words the long awaited for "magic bullet".
One additional item suggested by RAC relevant to a new Control Order is the water needs of the community. Continued growth (for better or worse) is slated for Waterloo Region and hence water supply is crucial. Rather than Ramin's poor suggestion in yesterday's post I would focus on continued and improved groundwater remediation in Elmira thus hopefully negating the need down the road for a pipeline to the most polluted Great Lake namely Lake Erie.
