ANOTHER POORLY WRITTEN CONESTOGA ROVERS REPORT

The title of their latest literary masterpiece (not) is "East Side Surficial Soil and Groundwater Investigation Work Plan" dated January 2015. I am going to list a few of their many typographical errors and other simple errors that an allegedly professional consultant should have caught before publishing. Page ten "...was removed from east side ponds RPW-6, RPW-7, and RPW-8 and reportedly stored in RPE-3.". Those three ponds are on the west side of the creek hence their name Retention Pond West.

Page 12 "...still bottoms were drummed and buried in BAE-1, adjacent to the future location of RPE-4.". No, BAE-1 is adjacent to RPE-5 which was the last of the east side pits to be built.

Figure 2.1 This is a conceptual hydrogeological model. The errors in it are legion but I'll simply point out that over a year ago CRA covered the well screen in the Municipal Upper Aquifer (MU) in well W4. They seem to have forgotten this in their Figure.

Page 19 This one is kind of funny. They are describing Dioxin concentrations as pg/g or picograms per gram (parts per trillion). However they've written it as "pictograms" per gram. A pictogram is a type of picture it is not a unit of measure.

Page 21 Again Conestoga Rovers appear to be directionally challenged. They advise that the southern and western edges of GP-1 were lower than the eastern edge and then state that overflow of GP-1 would send liquids south and EAST. Come on guys, proofread or edit your reports please.

page 28 We are advised that monitoring well OW32 "...is located in the north end of former waste management area RB-1...". Sorry but it is located at the south end of RB-1 and outside of it.

This is merely but a sampling of ridiculous, lazy errors in this report. There are many more of a more serious nature but this tells me that Chemtura are not getting value for their money. Blatant errors like these are unprofessional and boy Chemtura sure like to put on a show about how professional their work and their consultants work is.
