MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT'S SWEETHEART DEAL

The latest revelations that the former Varnicolor Chemical in Elmira indeed did contaminate the Elmira drinking water aquifers is bad news for our Ministry of Excuses and Corporate Collusion (MOECC). They signed a sweetheart deal with Uniroyal Chemical in 1991 in order to save face regarding their gross negligence culminating in the complete shutdown of the two Elmira wellfields. To date instead of Uniroyal being the sole contributer to the destruction of the Elmira Aquifers it now turns out that three companies have been proven to have contributed namely Uniroyal, Nutrite (Yara) and Varnicolor Chemical. It is even possible/likely that others are also responsible potentially including Borg Textiles, Elmira Shirt & Overall, Sanyo, Roxton Furniture and Great West Felt. Keep in mind that due to M.O.E. negligence and self interest, no confirmatory shallow soil or groundwater samples have been taken from these other potential sources. Last but not least we have all the contaminated service stations and one Esso Fuel Depot who introduced petroleim hydrocarbons into the ground and groundwater. Through sheer stupidity and greed Elmira's Aquifers were destroyed and our assorted Councils did little or nothing over the decades to prevent it with only a few notable individuals as exceptions.
