Ted Forbes I have studied the entire report which is only 22 pages of text, the other pages are illustrations and charts. In summery, the reports, does not mention the residents to the east of RUBiS and does not make mention to the people of Marathon. The motive of the report to me seems to be about proving that the contamination affects does not affect the contenders specifically named in the report and disputes that properties, buildings and tenants/employees are in no danger of the spill. Thats it.
I have coped six images here are lifted from the report, I have overlaid PINK and BLUE circles over the images which show the scientific movement of both ground water and contamination movements. The PINK indicates the radial contaminated area spilling into residential and business areas around the service station. The BLUE represent the flow of underground water moving radial from the center of the island outward towards the shores.
I have included the text from the report along with my own comments. If you read the report you will see that all of what I have included in the images are there and contradicts the the diagrams in the report.
Chucky that would be nice if Bahamians come together like that. Now I am not saying don't do it, I am just saying know all the facts. But don't forget BEC and every major business with engines and machines by their fuel form one of the three major oil companies as well. Also remember the same tanker that bring the fuel for the other two major oil companies is the same rig that brings the oil for RUBiS. And I am sure its much more than this to consider.
The thing is when the reporter asked Mr Fitzgerald about meeting with residents he said I meant with the residents. He is telling the truth, but he is talking about 5 out of 5000+, a meeting in the yard. When the reporter asked Mr Dorsett whether the residents were informed he replied we put them on city water, that tell me they know already. He told the truth, but he is talking about 5 out of 5000+ residents who complained and got it one by one. These politicians are playing residents for the record so when they are asked their answer is not an entire lie. This is self serving, not cool.
The truth is about the report, there is nothing in it that is worth reading so I don't see why they held on to a pile of papers with nothing in it, unless to doctor the report. Well that would explained why there is nothing in it to read. Its just report describing a battle between Cable Bahamas, two residents to the north and RUBiS. This report is only useful to RUBiS alone. After all it is RUBiS money that bought it. Trust me when I tell you, its not worth reading, it not worth reading, it not helpful.
nuce that some of us are making some noise concerning the RUBiS government report.
What is happening to the people of Marathon is not confined to the people of Marathon but the entire island of New Providence.
The chemical containments can not be removed from the water, changed, destroyed, nor controlled. For the amount of fuel dispersed into the water table (by accident) this means the chemicals are there for a long long time.
Please note that the chemicals are not stationary. Water is the vehicle of the contaminants and the contaminants spreads out further and further in a radius of one mile every 10 years (this includes moving through lime stone rock. All this info is online).
This means the whole island is in danger and all of us should take caution.
Great if not buying fuel from RUBiS would make a difference but there are many other people who don't care about the issues will keep the station open simply because there are more of them than us. Besides there are only three fuel supplier Esso-Exxon, SunOil-Shell and RUBiS-Chevron and the three supply all the fuel to BEC that it can afford to keep our lights on. I don't think 1k of us topping-off at RUBiS will make much difference.
The contaminants in the water penertrates soil and rock and radiates one mile every 10 years. The service station might have been leaking for some 20 years or so. So the contaminants (the chemicals not the slippery glossy substance) might very well be beyond the local water bottle nearby.

We need a sign saying "No friends allowed in the work places between 9 to 5." If we can stop this, only then we will get some work done in this town.
