I filed official reports with the NEB and the Ontario Spills Action Hotline. The theory from Fire Fighters and the MOE is that the solvent was from a person who dumped chemicals in a sewer about a mile upstream and the case was closed in spite of the fact no chemical was ever identified and it strongly conflicts with the the video I took that clearly shows the solvent is coming from underground. The water shows a high concentration of the chemical at point of entry like smoking coming from a smokestack and you can see how it disburses. If this solvent came a mile away from upstream you would never see this sort of concentrated leak pattern.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFCQZ06Yw3o&list=UU9kP8MXPxsOQ8BFIbkuL7Ig">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFCQZ06Yw3o&list=UU9kP8MXPxsOQ8BFIbkuL7Ig</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Line 9 and other pipelines lines are directly underneath the ground at this same location. I've exhausted proper protocols, reported all my concerns properly and have demanded retests of this area because the chemical is still there. I have the evidence in sediment and water samples I took on August 17 when I filed a second report to all the agencies but I'm being stonewalled. Everyone is still trying to spin this as a sewer dumping incident. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Now for the good part: Trout Unlimited Toronto's Vice President is joining me in asking for a proper investigation on this solvent spill. I've been working closely with them on this for a bit. Also a reporter from Now magazine is covering this story and the article may be published as soon as next week. We'll try the media approach first and see if we can pressure the various agencies to do proper testing. If not I have Council of Canadians offering to fund an independent study of the area to identify what this solvent is and from there we can determine if the chemical matches the contents of any of the pipelines in the area. Should be interesting. I'll keep you updated.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Now for that interesting article: Just today the Toronto Star did an article on how the Canadian Conservative government is telling public servants to delete emails with no “business value,” possibly opening the door to the destruction of potentially valuable or embarrassing records. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><a href="http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/08/27/harper_government_asks_public_servants_to_delete_emails.html">http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/08/27/harper_government_asks_public_servants_to_delete_emails.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Talk to you later<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Lulu <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></body></html>
