This is one of the big reasons that Chemtura and the MOE/MECP wanted me off of CPAC. It wasn't just what I knew and was willing to share with the public it was what I continued to learn the more data and information that I got. Things like NDMA 100 or 200 metres cross-gradient from Uniroyal Chemical being found in a deep aquifer below the Stroh property. Things like both dioxins and DDD being found in the sediments of the Stroh Drain where they absolutely should not be found especially many decades after Uniroyal stopped discharging their liquid wastes to the natural environment. Things like the extent of DDT, its' metabolytes, dioxins, PAHs, mercury and PCBs being found in soils and sediments miles downstream in the Canagagigue Creek also many decades after the dumping allegedly stopped. There has also never been an intelligent explanation as to where the PCBs came from. Things like a direct discharge of the Stroh Drain to the Martin swimming pond. OMG.
I wish I knew more about the pit that was mentioned in a Comment to one of my Blogs recently. I have seen a colour picture or two which seems to show something between the old Stroh barn and the Uniroyal/Chemtura property line . It actually seems to cross the gravel road that runs from the old house and barn westerly towards the gravel pit area. Besides that possibility I am aware of two other low lying areas nearby, one on the Uniroyal property and one on the Stroh property but I don't think either of these are what the commenter is referring to.
I expect that it is anyone's guess as to what other "surprises" have been covered up, lied about and or hidden. The commenter also wondered about exactly who and how the decisions were made in the late 50s and early 60s to provide the U.S. military with Agent Orange. Did the authority and permission only come from the Canadian Federal government or was the province (Ontario) involved . Wouldn't it also be nice to know if the Town of Elmira were ever asked beforehand about this?
