MAY & JUNE 2021 LANXESS PROGRESS REPORTS
So when did the alleged "pulse pumping" become almost no pumping? Prior to that advisory from Lanxess/GHD that they were going to be reducing groundwater pumping from well E7 it
was a decades long mainstay of the off-site pumping regimen. Often the average daily pumping rate for the month was in the vicinity of 25 to 27 litres per second the highest pumping rate from any pumping well, off or on-site. Then we were advised that reducing groundwater NDMA concentrations around E7 (south end of Elmira) made full time pumping wasteful. Now the pumping is getting ridiculously low. June had a daily average of 13 litres per second and May, unbelieveably was down to 3.7 litres per second with I might add the Target Average still the same at 23.9 litres per second. Furthermore the footnote (1) for the Target Average column still states "GHD recommends that Lanxess maintain the target pumping rates gretaer than or equal to these rates." What the hell???

Seriously TAG and Tiffany you need to get this fixed yesterday. We still after more than two years do not have pumping well W9 up and running while E7 is also going down the toilet. In 2012 the public advisory committee (CPAC) were advised by Chemtura and Conestoga Rovers that they were going to TRIPLE the volume of off-site pumping. Well it's no longer even slightly higher (12-18%?) than those days as it was for some time and in fact for months now the off-site pumping rates are lower than they routinely were nine years ago. So who is the liar, Chemtura or lanxess or CRA versus GHD. Seriously TAG do your job (albeit volunteers) get on this!!!
