Hello Gary. The questions are all concerns which the residents have. If you can`t personally answer them, it would be greatly appreciated that you ask the appropriate folks within the agency to provide answers for them as soon as you can. That said, if you can even get the answers to the air monitoring questions before the meeting, that would be great. I really appreciate anything you can provide the residents. The Tar Ponds Agency, as a government agency, has to be accountable to these people as citizens and must be open and transparent about everything, especially when it concerns the health of the people. I trust that you will make every effort to obtain the appropriate information from the experts to address these concerns. I also trust that if there is a potential health risk, the agency will make every effort to put the health of the people before the budget and timeline of the project. Thanks again. Looking forward to the responses and the meeting. Take care.

Wayne McKay

    Wayne - I had two Board meetings to get ready for yesterday, so I am just now getting to the questions. Firstly, I didn't think I would be dealing with 6 pages of questions - several of which (relocation, compensation, psychological issues, etc.) are not within my mandate to address.

    We will provide responses to the questions relating to air emission issues, but I am on vacation next week, and can't commit to a firm date when I will get the answers to you.

    Hello Gary. I've received the questions from the residents and I've attached them here. They have requested that the written responses be sent to them before the meeting on August 11 so that they have time to review them. I think this is a good idea as it will give more focus to the discussion. Please let me know when you will be able to provide these responses for them. Thanks. Take care.
