IS IT POSSIBLE THAT IT IS CHLOROBENZENE NOT NDMA THAT IS THE LIMITING FACTOR IN THE ELMIRA CLEANUP?

 

To answer my own question the answer is yes, it is possible. What if the quantities of sub-surface free phase DNAPL are far greater than we've ever been told? What if all the pump & treat in the world will not dissolve all the chlorobenzene fast enough? Say even within fifty years. Maybe that is part of the reason for the long term DNAPL coverup. Our polluters (multiple) and authorities (politicians especially) have known since the beginning that the cleanup simply couldn't be done even in a generation or two due to the DNAPLS which by the way consist of far more than just chlorobenzene.

Even the recent public (June 19/25)  outing of several off-site locations of chlorobenzene may not be fully accurate. How are we to have confidence in a pack of corrupt, lying individuals as well as groups (councillors, Min. of Environment etc.)  who have made a specialty of misleading and deceiving us on so much in regards to the Elmira cleanup?

Why you ask? Simple! If DNAPL precluded any kind of timely cleanup without massive expenditures then why not blame NDMA with it's extraordinarily low drinking water standard ( 9 parts per trillion or .009 parts per billion) . Lay persons plus others could easily fall for that misdirection with enough credentialed suits backing it up whether private suits or public suits. 

All I've ever wanted is the truth. All I and the public have ever gotten is packaged bull*hit .
