RECENT WHOPPERS COURTESY OF CRA/CHEMTURA/MOE

On-site free phase DNAPL does not exist. While admitting to Residual DNAPL which is recognized as the tail of a moving free phase plume; nevertheless the unholy trinity have reversed the science to accomodate themselves. They claim that larger pools and globs of free phase DNAPL dissolve faster than smaller ganglia and disconnected blobs of Residual DNAPL.

There is no off-site free phase DNAPL. OW57-32R behind Varnicolor Chemical has been an annoying problem but through spirited and imaginative scientific rewrites including "oopsys" of oil and non-existent co-solvents for chlorobenzene; allegedly increasing it's solubility percentage from 3/4% to 1%, they are continuing to deny, deny, deny. Meanwhile they have just confirmed the use of ISCO (In-situ chemical oxidation) to destroy high concentrations of NDMA in two North-west areas of Elmira, off their site.

The suggestion is that ISCO is only for destruction of dissolved plumes of chemicals. Sorry but that's not what the scientific literature says.

The ISCO they are using is for NDMA only. More egregious nonsense. It will break down chlorobenzene and most other organic contaminants.

Acetone readily degrades in groundwater thus explaining how non-existent acetone has somehow increased the solubility of chlorobenzene in groundwater. Co-solvents by definition increase the solubility of hydrophobic compounds and or compounds that are essentially insoluble. Chlorobenzene is neither one.

Petroleum hydrocarbons don't exist at CH70D near the old Varnicolor Union St. site. Also Petroleum hydrocarbons are limited in their existence in the Elmira groundwater. If only that were true. It is not. They are throughout Elmira and multiple aquifers courtesy of Varnicolor, Chemtura and multiple service stations.

If junk and psuedo science are ever recognized as an art form then I would nominate the unholy trinity as artists in residence for Elmira, Ontario. They are the best.
