DO WE CONDEMN LANXESS FOR SITTING ON THIS INFO FOR SEVEN YEARS OR DO WE PRAISE THEM FOR FINALLY COMING CLEAN ABOUT IT?

According to their Agenda for the upcoming TRAC meeting (Thurs. Sept 12/24) namely Item 5.1.4 they are going to blab about both DNAPLS (chlorobenzene) and about their Off Site Isotopic Analysis Study. Now some of this was shared with TAG and the public via Dr. Thompson (U. of Waterloo) several years ago around 2018. He claimed that there was an excess quantity of chlorobenzene, above and beyond Uniroyal Chemical's donations/dumping, in the off-site Elmira Aquifers. He also claimed that this excess chlorobenzene from a second source could be identified allegedly by isotopic analysis. It was obvious to me that there were but two very likely sources across the road from each other (Howard Ave.) who could be responsible, both of whom I have identified for years here in this Blog (Borg Textiles & Varnicolor Chemical).   

Now if it is Varnicolor there is going to be hell to pay as their groundwater allegedly showed NO chlorobenzene present via Ministry lab testing.  That would indicate gross corruption by the Ministry and while they avoided an Inquiry thirty some years ago this would be too much. It would be clear evidence of intentional government corruption. Now with both companies long gone from Elmira maybe some backroom deals have been done. One thing is for sure namely that both companies  either had a dye shop (for textiles) or paint and solvents as the major source of their business (Varnicolor).  Could both companies be responsible for the excess chlorobenzene?

Agenda Item 5.1.2.3 is titled "Investigating Well Extraction Pumping Rates". Now this again is interesting in that I've been sending e-mails to both Woolwich Council and TAG/TRAC for at least the last couple of years about this. Now do keep in mind that we the public are dealing with professional liars here  in Elmira. Maybe they are going to come clean and maybe they aren't. It could go either way just as their fatally flawed HHERA  (Human Health & Ecological Risk Assessment) claims that there are "no unacceptable risks" in the downstream Canagagigue Creek from Uniroyal's still present DDT, dioxins, lindane, PAHs, parathion etc.

I'll wait and see how clean the company comes AND if they want to share with the public why the public consultation body never felt the need to speak out publicly on these matters. Was TAG/TRAC kept in the dark or were they asked nicely as friends of Lanxess/MECP to keep their traps shut on these and other public matters. Either way is damning of all parties.
