It’s been some time since I reported on the heroic fall guys for Rhodia/Solvay’s toxic dump, but this week “The Hermans” returned to carry out some “monitoring” of the site. Allegedly this will be a 25 year affair, putting pay to land banking going on in the area.
A full team of seven or eight from Heyrman De Roeck, The ERM guy and A.N others were present, with four vehicles (at least one bearing a Netherlands number plate), and two boats. There was also a special boat service stealth/probe type device that would do any Mars landing proud. Perhaps that should be Klaars?
Gladiator ready?
Probes were set up, the lake toured and bushes inspected. It was like the summer of 2013 again.

Rocket launcher?
It wasn’t long before Jeff Lynne Herman and the rest were on the water measuring depths and probably surveying the sand and geotextile membrane.
making waves
On closer inspection, the latest contraption looked more like something from The A team, with a piece of drainpipe trailing behind held together by gaffa tape and cable ties.
All the excitement even brought out “a local resident” residing at the lagoon, who complained most bitterly about the disturbance.
So it goes on with “monitoring” of the site, even though you can see with the naked eye the phosphine release from the site, and the ever fading name of the “site operator” under the phoenix name brand.
Solvay?
A truck on the adjacent Autobase site caught my eye; itself once a part of the former Albright and Wilson Rattlechain site . So long as white phosphorus is buried at this toxic lake, there will always be a problem.
