NATHAN"S BLUFF WAS CALLED - AND HE'S CUT & RUN

 Hmm I wonder if this means that the tutorial I promised Woolwich Council is still on or not. The tutorial was to get them at least a little bit up to speed on some of the ongoing cleanup going on at the Lanxess site. Then after that a sit down with CPAC (Citizens Public Advisory Committee) to discuss the throwing out of RAC and TAG would make more sense. Afterall if it is 100% accurate that RAC & TAG have completely either missed the gutting of the shallow aquifer pump & treat or worse yet knew about it and only discussed it privately (in camera etc.) then that alone would be grounds to get rid of them. Frankly the grounds have been there for a very long time. What I found peculiar was that nobody on Woolwich Council felt the need to confirm Nathan's claim that discontinuance of RAC and TAG was on the table. That was my first tip that something was very wrong.

Then of course was Nathan's remarkable transformation from council newbie into a hydrogeologist. Somebody was answering for him yet he felt no compunction to man up and admit that he was fronting for :  David?  Tiffany?  Ramin? or whomever.

Thirdly despite every opportunity to cut and run when I lost patience with his bull Nathan hung in there trying to convince me that nothing was wrong with the most highly contaminated area on the Uniroyal/Lanxess site having it's hydraulic containment reduced. He claimed in writing that I was correct about the greatly reduced pumping rates but rationalized it by saying that the reductions had been fully discussed in public forum through the RAC and TAG committees or a previous iteration. I believed then and believe now that that is bullsh*t. 

So of course I called Nathan's bluff on that. All RAC and TAG public meetings are recorded. There is a Support Person from Woolwich Staff who writes up the Minutes of each meeting. For about seven years it was Lisa Schaefer but has now changed. There is also a Chair of TAG (Tiffany Svensson) paid about $30,000 /year for part time work. Maybe she as TAG Chair could find those alleged discussions. Instead of any of that, Nathan appears to have cut and run. He's refusing to state that he or anybody will look for the alleged public discussions. He's making excuses. Or maybe those discussions never took place in public if at all. You can guess what I think.
