LYING & DECEPTION: CHEMTURA'S BEST FRIENDS

Yesterday I referred to the December 2014 CRA Report on the excavation and capping of GP 1 & 2 . Among many interesting facets is Figure 4 which purports to show us the various depths to which they excavated GP1 in 2013. I have recently transferred that extended depth excavation onto my two foot by four foot map of primarily Chemtura's east side. The location was carefully transferred by taking a number of measurements from Figure 4 and then appropriately locating the outline of the deeper areas onto my map. I also added the three "supplemental" areas to the map that were allegedly excavated last fall (2014). I say allegedly because the entire remediation system is predicated upon the word of truth challenged individuals. In an honest process CPAC in full would be invited on site for all major remediation work being done as a form of audit and first hand observation.

Here is the interesting part. The deeper excavation area of GP1 starts almost from the very north end of GP1 and goes south right into the lowest elevation areas ie. the semi-permanent groundwater wetland area. Now to make this more difficult to immediately recognize, Figure 4 shows the deepest excavation starting at about 25 metres south of the northern end. However if you look at Figure 5 you will see that at the 5 metre mark the excavation begins to go deeper than the loudly and dogmatically proclaimed .3 metres albeit it doesn't get really deep until the 25 metre mark.

Also the exact location of this northern tip of deeper soil removal lines up astoundingly well with the small funnel of lowlying land that permits any overland flow of toxic liquid wastes into GP 1 at all. This small "funnel" is the 346 metre above sea level contour (and lower) that barely squeezes between two 346.5 contour lines which indicate the start of higher ground north of GP 1. This higher ground is also visually demonstrated in a couple of different reports including this one in Appendix A "Chemtura Property - 100 Year Floodplain Mapping".

So basically the deeper excavation of GP 1 is further evidence of exactly where a tiny part of the massive quantities of toxic liquid wastes averaging 173,000 Imperial gallons per day were able to squeeze through the high ground protecting Chemtura's and CRA's alleged location of GP 1. I'm not saying they lied about the bulk of liquid wastes going into GP 1. I'm saying that if the true location of GP 1 is on the east side of the high ground (ridge) rather than the west side; it makes a lot more sense as to where gravity flowing DDT, Dioxins and so much more ended up. That would be in the wetland that was subsequently sucessfully drained by the Stroh Drain into the Canagagigue Creek, well downstream of the monthly monitoring done to "prove" how much better the creek's water was becoming.
