7 pm. at the Memorial Centre (Arena) on Snyder Ave. Yes I think based upon the 35 year history of deception, delays and obfuscation I am fully entitled to assume the worst. That said however the good news is that I am quite willing to be wrong or even surprised on the matter. Afterall go in expecting the worst and there's at least a chance that it won't be as bad as you expect.
Three issues are on the table although our authorities are pretending that there are only two. The THREE are soil and sediment contamination, a truck by-pass around Elmira's downtown and so called industrial development lands. Now nobody wants to discuss the migrating contamination, past, present or future from Uniroyal Chemical's toxic behaviour. This migration was via air, groundwater, surface water and soil vapours. The easiest way to deny this is simply by refusing to do legitimate, professional sampling by third party experts unrelated to either the MECP, Lanxess or GHD (consultants) . Of course not Stantec either based upon their financial and professional relationship with Lanxess
All three of these issues need to be addressed separately. None of this combining two or three of them together and pretending to give equal priority to the never ending leaking contamination into the Canagagigue Creek. Maybe that gamesmanship is part of the whole scheme. Agree to clean up one or two alleged "hotspots" in the Creek first and then a few years later when the Creek is still contaminated it can be blamed on the new industrial/commercial development, and or gas and oil from truck traffic or even contaminants from rubber tires wearing on the new highway by-pass.
Professional liars require muddying conditions in order to blur the truth to their liking.
