PSUEDO SCIENCE, JUNK SCIENCE And CRAP

CRAP is an acronym that I have coined which stands for Conestoga Rovers & Associates Plan. It is not intended to be a compliment particularily. The title above refers to CRA's September 26, 2012 Memorandun dealing with CH-70D groundwater results. As promised in last Wednesday's Advocate I have enlisted the assistance and opinions of two experts, both of whom are in their final year as PHD students. One is finishing his PHD in Chemistry, the other in Biology. Both have extensive experience working with gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers.

Both are critical of CRA's Report. This includes comments such as they wouldn't dare to submit a report like this (of this quality) to their superviser. Secondly they have indicated that the text of the Report misinterprets the data presented. Thirdly there is essential data available that CRA have simply failed to provide to the readers. This data is absolutely necessary for CRA to make their case.

I am advised that in fact the data that CRA have provided actually proves the opposite of their conclusions. According to the two published scientific experts CRA's evidence indicates clearly that despite their text, there are petroleum hydrocarbons found in the groundwater samples taken at CH-70D, exactly as Peritus Environmental AND CRA originally stated. Thank you Conestoga Rovers.
