FURTHER CRITICISMS OF TIFFANY SVENSSON'S PRESENTATION TO WOOLWICH COUNCIL LAST TUESDAY

 

I had mentioned other fabrications. Today however I may focus more on deceptions than fabrications. By the way her fabrication regarding the Stroh farm contamination issues not only has not been RESOLVED but I have had complaints and concerns from citizens other than myself about it. They too do not appreciate their legitimate strong concerns and evidence being swept under the carpet by either professional or amateur liars. This has been the case with this "cleanup" from day one whereby the guilty parties ignore citizen concerns as mere opinions while elevating their hired consultants opinions as edicts handed down by God him/her self.

Tiffany needs to give councillors a more rounded and complete understanding of the extent of the contamination. There are not merely two plumes, one being chlorobenzene and the other NDMA. Despite phony claims that they have merely "scoped" all the chemical contaminants into two inclusive groups, that is not accurate. The breadth and variety of contaminants includes chlorinated solvents, unchlorinated solvents, BTEX compounds which are LNAPLs (floaters), pesticides/herbicides, fungicides, PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), Dioxins, PHCs (petroleum hydrocarbons) including fuels and so much more.

Then there is the actual concentrations of NDMA and chlorobenzene still in the Elmira Aquifers. Lanxess and GHD would like the public to believe that their pump & treat remediation has been so successful that they are almost finished! That is bullsh*t. NDMA in the Municipal Upper Aquifer has an average concentration NINE TIMES HIGHER than the ODWS (drinking water standard). NDMA in the Municipal Lower aquifer has an average concentration ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY TIMES HIGHER than the ODWS.

Then we have chlorobenzene . It's average concentration in the Municipal Upper Aquifer is more than 50% HIGHER than the ODWS and in the Municipal Lower Aquifer is more than TWICE as high as the ODWS.

That folks is not success, it is FAILURE 36 years after Elmira's wells were shut down in 1989.
