DID WILF RULAND ALSO PLAY BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET?

 

HIDING DNAPL PRESENCE MAY HAVE DOOMED THE CLEANUP. WHEN WERE DIOXINS & DDT LAST TESTED FOR IN THE ELMIRA AQUIFERS? 

Certainly Susan Bryant has. She with assistance from Sylvia Berg certainly damaged the long term cleanup of the Uniroyal site and Elmira's groundwater by their defence of the M.O.E.s sweetheart DNAPL deal with Uniroyal and CRA. On December 10, 1993 the Ministry of Environment (M.O.E.) accepted  the Conestoga Rovers (CRA) DNAPL report on behalf of Uniroyal Chemical. That December 10/93 Ministry report was a sellout and was only possible because Uniroyal and the M.O.E. had a private, behind closed doors agreement from the two APTE co-ordinaters. Sylvia's vigorous defence of the Ministry's position AFTER she, I and Glenys had written and edited APTE's strong critique of the CRA DNAPL report was shocking and damning of her behaviour. Susan Bryant was in India at the time and failed to reverse APTE's new DNAPL position when she returned..

Wilf, myself , Susan Bryant and Pat McLean attended the January 2007 meeting at the University of Waterloo with Drs. John Cherry and Beth Parker. Both doctors advised that removal or destruction of sub surface DNAPL was important for any long term cleanup of soils and aquifers. Pat, Susan and Wilf never brought these world preeminent DNAPL experts advice back to CPAC (Chemtura Public Advisory Committee). They flatly refused when I pushed for a date that the new information would be presented to CPAC. I at that time had absolutely zero knowledge or belief that the three of them were bent beyond all recognition. Months later I was kicked out of CPAC on the red herring that I opposed the Ammonia Treatment System (ATS) which was a lie. I opposed ONE inappropriate and inaccurate off-site well proposed to be used as part of a monitoring pair determining on-site containment . Even that only occurred after I had shown my information and maps to Wilf who DID NOT object to the evidence I presented. In fact he later in a meeting with CRA and Chemtura, Dr. Regier and I and others tried to defend it but quickly folded when CRA simply said no. 

DNAPLS and Susan are a major reason why the Elmira Aquifers will not be clean by 2028. Free phase DNAPL has and maybe still is off of the former Uniroyal site at a number of locations including the Varnicolor Chemical site and by the Howard St. Water Tower (OW57-32 (R). Also very likely DNAPL left the Uniroyal site and flowed next door (westwards) onto the Nutrite property which may or may not also be affecting off-site pumping well W8 to this day. 

Woolwich councillors and regional councillors have made their peace with whatever stories and lies they have been told. Lies however do not break down DNAPLS. Real, honest remediation can do wonders especially if initiated early. Currently Lanxess Canada are allegedly looking at different remediation methods. Great idea although slamming the gate thirty-six years after the DNAPLS have departed the corral is a touch slow.
