Yes RAC and TAG have successfully fulfilled their function of talking a ton about cleaning groundwater as well as the downstream Creek while at the same time accomplishing neither. In fact the more everyone realizes that full municipal groundwater cleanup may be anywhere from fifteen to thirty or fourty more years away, the more the pumping decreases. It's almost as if all parties are surreptitiously throwing in the towel despite what they say. Actions speak much louder than words.
This pumping is both off-site pumping of the deep Elmira Aquifers as well as on-site pumping of the shallow aquifers (UA1 primarily). At the moment focus has shifted somewhat to the review of RAC and TAG. It should come back to the Upper Aquifer Containment & Treatments System (UACTS) precisely because TAG need to wear that ongoing failure of both communications/consultation as well as significantly lowered hydraulic containment of the Upper Aquifer on site which discharges into the Canagagigue Creek. There is absolutely no excuse for this huge matter to have been ignored by TAG for the last eight years. For that matter if these TAG members are so damn smart and experienced why have exactly none of them not noticed what's going on? Which is worse: Not knowing due to incompetence/inexperience or knowing and saying nothing due to c o r r u p t i o n ???
