LEST WE FORGET HUNDREDS OF METRES OF INTERCEPTOR TRENCHES ACROSS THE UNIROYAL/LANXESS PROPERTY

 Where do they discharge? Most likely subsurface into a pipe on the Stroh property. That pipe can be seen above ground at the extreme north end of the Stroh Drain as it discharges to surface water in the SDDB (Stroh Drain, Ditch & Berm).  One arm of the Interceptor Trench may be for SA/UA  (Surficial & Upper Aquifer) contaminated groundwater and the other arm may be for the deeper UA3 contaminated groundwater, hard to say. These two arms come together and run down the west side of the retention pits and ponds (RPE 1-5) to the south end of RPE-5 where it turns eastwards and runs across the Uniroyal/Lanxess property line and onto the Stroh property.

I believe the successful purpose of these Interceptor Trenches was to remove the need for hydraulic containment of the shallow aquifer on the entire east side of Uniroyal Chemical despite decades of toxic liquid wastes being dumped into unlined pits and ponds (RPE 1-5). Afterall by bypassing dumping directly into the Creek on their property via a willing "host" on the Stroh property they avoided millions of dollars in pump & treat costs . The fact that these liquid toxins both went partially through a children's swim pond on the Martin property and were dumped untreated into the Creek apparently did not cause outrage at the Ontario Ministry of Environment or with Woolwich and regional councils.

It makes attempting moral suasion with these people unlikely. Uniroyal/Lanxess have shown zero serious attempts to explain these highly visual scars on the earth via both aerial and satellite photos. I and CPAC were dumped by Woolwich Council shortly after these damning photos were taken to public CPAC meetings and released.  In my opinion this behaviour and coverup deserves criminal charges.

  1. WOW, the "willing host" is in possession of all the evidence that is being "covered up" - and buried ! its at a minimum a 2 generation disaster. I find it personally very difficult to fathom what has been done in this neighborhood.

  2. is Alan Marshall the only genuine environmentalist left ? it is obvious the fake environmentalists are fake because they are all missing in action on this file. From a business perspective, who can blame the Stroh's for wanting the partially or completely contaminated farm turned into INDUSTRIAL subdivision? From the Township and Regions perspective though the wellwater issue is "a thing" that exposes all the local LIBTARDS and fake conservatives! It is a damning situation!
