SOME MORE INTERESTING TIDBITS FROM THE REVISED EAST SIDE GROUNDWATER REPORT

 First of all the repeated assertions that all the east side pits (RPE 1-5) overflowed and then gravity flowed directly into GP-1 (gravel pit-1) are self-serving, unadulterated bullsh.t . There were no pipes, no culverts i.e. the overflowing liquid wastes were totally uncontained and flowing across the surface of bare ground, grasses and through a swamp/wetland. Directly between GP-1 and the admitted (Table 2.2) overflowing eastside pits and ponds was a well defined wetland that was the result of lower surface elevations combined with a high water table. These wetlands are not only clearly marked on different maps (CRA, GRCA) but have verbally and publicly been confirmed by Jeff Merriman of Chemtura to CPAC in approximately 2015. Furthermore Jeff was then advised by myself and some CPAC members  that the 1983 manufactured Stroh Drain had successfully drained the swamp and that the area was no longer under water. Prior to 1983 (and 1970) any overflowing waste waters would have entered this swampy wetland and mixed with the groundwater at surface. Then via gravity flow they would have migrated downhill (via topographical maps) in a south-east direction onto the Stroh property where they would pond in a bowl like low elevation area (345.0 masl). From there as that ponded area overflowed these waste waters would have continued southwards and joined the tiny Martin's Creek on its' way to the Canagagigue Creek.          ...................................................................................                                                                                        All of this is factual and provable, just not to professional liars, captured regulators, biased politicians or anyone else with an axe to grind or millions of dollars at stake. In other words most of the "stakeholders"  are in a gross conflict of interest position in that the public interest runs contrary to their own.                    .........................................................................                                                                                                  Page 2 of this report advises that iron oxide sludge, chlorobenzene, and DPA (diphenylamine) tars and contaminated soils were  used as backfill for the hole left in the ground by the 1993-94 excavations of RPE 4 & 5. Wow! That was a surprise to me. Also I've just put something together that's bothered me for years. Contaminated soil just south of RPE-5 was excavated around 1970 and put into RPE-5 leaving a large depression which has since filled with groundwater. It turns out that these liquid contaminants besides coming from the overflowing RPE-5 also came from the temporary overflowing TPE-2 as indicated in Table 2.2 of this report. Well, well, well.
