WOULD PAST CORRUPT OR NOT CPAC OR TAG CHAIRS HAVE IGNORED THE FAILURE TO MAINTAIN MUNICIPAL AQUIFER HYDRAULIC CONTAINMENT ON SITE?

 TAG under Tiffany Svensson most certainly has.  Dr. Jackson would NOT have ignored it but then the reductions didn't start until after he had departed. Very wise MECP & Lanxess.  Dr. Holt as CPAC Chair from 2011 until August 2015 did not ignore on-site Municipal Aquifer pumping and indeed it was maintained as a result. 

Now here's where it gets sticky. Prior to Dr. Holt we had Pat Mclean as Chair for far too long and she and Susan Bryant made "deals" with Crompton and Chemtura (i.e. Uniroyal) that were not in the public interest. How could they be? That pair together simply were in way over their heads. Yes Pat had the political expertise and Susan (English grammar & literature  career) did have historic knowledge learned from 1989 to 2000 but her sciences and math were nil. 

That said Pat was a stickler for process. As CPAC Chair she would upbraid the MECP if they too obviously circumvented the Crompton or Chemtura Public Advisory Committee. On more than one occasion she gave them hell for private meetings with Uniroyal/Crompton/Chemtura in which UPAC were not invited. Now that said she had no compunctions later on with her and Susan having private meetings with the same buggers. 

All in all I believe that if the polluter and it's alleged regulator were repeatedly failing to achieve the Target pumping rates for the on-site pumping wells whether the original PW1, PW3 & PW4 or the later PW4 & PW5 , she would have put it on the Agenda and expected discussion and debate on the matter. This is entirely different from what's been going on now for closer to five years both on and off the Uniroyal/Lanxess site. These failures ARE allowing off-site discharge of contaminants to the Elmira Aquifers at the same time as we now know that the entire pump & treat process is failing to achieve drinking water standards in these aquifers as mandated by 2028.

TRAC are in the same position of ignorance as RAC & TAG. They have no knowledge of past public promises made and no idea of the history of on-site pumping since 1992 and off-site since 1998. They have nothing to compare today's rates to and they are too polite and deferential to Lanxess/MECP to make a stink about it.
