The K-W Record published the following story titled "Elmira Water Cleanup won't meet 2028 deadline" on July 25, 2016 nearly a year after the public consultation coup by Sandy Shantz and company removing CPAC and replacing it with a more polluter friendly group of people. The Woolwich Observer published a similar story four days earlier titled "Elmira aquifer cleanup work expected to go past 2028 deadline".
Both stories focused on "back diffusion" and how contaminates were leaking back out from the clay and silt aquitards into the municipal drinking aquifers. Interestingly Dr. Richard Jackson, TAG Chair, stated that this information maybe wasn't known in 1989 but the science and facts had been learned pretty much twenty years ago. Twenty years ago would mean in 1996 actually still two years prior to the start up of the off-site pump & treat system designed to clean the aquifers allegedly by 2028.
Frankly that means that the guilty parties not only had been lying to the public from the early 1990s until 2016 that they could restore the aquifers by 2028 but in fact they knew they couldn't through pump & treat even before they commissioned the OSCTS (off-site containment & treatment system) in 1998. That didn't slow down their lying one bit.
