OR IS IT POSSIBLE that they are simply hiding them somewhere? It becomes oh so tempting when you are in charge of the process to take liberties with that same process. Pat McLean did it when she was Chair of CPAC. Sandy has done it as Mayor. An addition here and maybe an improper omission there sort of tilts things in your favour as long as nobody calls you on it. While I'm calling Mayor Shantz, current Chair Nathan Cadeau and even former Chair Tiffany Svensson on it. My critiques have been sent far and wide including to the TRAC Chair and TRAC members. If they aren't already so acknowledged then hop to it !
Meanwhile the same crap continues with the pump and treat systems both on and off-site. On-site was supposed to by GHD 's claims to maintain 4.7 litres per second on -site pumping rates . It isn't happening with PW5 done and finished and new well PW6 still barely pumping at only 1 litre per second during the month of May 2025. Meanwhile the monthly Progress Report states that "Lanxess is establishing a Target pumping rate for PW6." Really? The old well had an established pumping rate of 1.8 litres per second so why wouldn't it's replacement be the same or higher? The reason appears to be that this is just one more opportunity to reduce costs and reduce alleged hydraulic containment.
Meanwhile the off-site pumping is a comparative whopping 71.5 l/sec !!! To me this is just an attempt to pull more contaminants off-site with no concern for the probable loss of hydraulic containment on site resulting in more toxic groundwater moving into the Elmira Aquifers. Is it any wonder that the guilty parties are failing to achieve their stated and mandated goal of drinking water standards by 2028?
