It was a metaphor for the Elmira Aquifers. We called Mark Mr. Flip Flop because his opinions always matched the group he was with at the moment. Nice politics. This was somewhere between 2011 and 2014 that Mark advised us as to his belief in Source Removal. What!! Or maybe he was beginning to realize that Pump & Treat while less expensive was also decades less timely. Maybe he really did not understand how anybody could agree to long term (decades) of pumping versus so many other much faster and more effective methodologies.
Mark suggested that we think about a sandbox in a children's playground. The sandbox has never been covered allowing dogs albeit mostly cats to use it as a litter box. So now for the health of the children you need to remove the cat and dog feces. Would you prefer a concentrated effort involving many people and many scoops going through the sandbox sifting for the cat and dog leftovers? Or would you like to see a hose inserted at one end of the sandbox which is also slightly elevated at the same end allowing the water to gradually flow through the length of the sandbox while also picking up some of the dog and cat discards? At the downgradient end of the sandbox the hose would poke through and the now contaminated liquid contents could be collected for treatment.
I would think that the sifters with proper effort could likely remove over 90% of the cat and dog crap in a day or two whereas simply pumping water through the sandbox would take weeks or months to actually dissolve the you know what in order to remove 90% of it. The proper choice is obvious to the point that it actually makes the Elmira technology of "Pump & Treat" look stupid.
Flip Flop Mark Bauman is the one common denominator of at a minimum 18 years of facilitating bullshit and corruption and the hiring of the woke Libtard bureaucrats and officials and staff that are overpaid and feckless and are going to bankrupt us if we do not get rid of most of them and replace them with common sense individuals who will work for less and do a much better job! The "sucking and blowing" that we have been subjected to, is an absolute disaster! It is time to only elect good people and get rid of the bulk of the bureaucratic waste and corruption.
