First off this might surprise readers. Tiffany is not dumb. To my knowledge she is a professional hydrogeologist who knows perfectly well when deception attempts are being made. I guess however she does know where her bread is buttered. Did I not recently see that she received $30,000 for her efforts last year as Chair of TAG? That's pretty damned good for a part time job in my opinion. Think of all the volunteer Woolwich citizens (not Susan B. who is neither a citizen of Woolwich nor Canada) and the literally years that they have spent giving of their time and effort to try to help cleanup the Elmira Aquifers and the Canagagigue Creek. Other than a couple of individuals (only one of whom is a citizen from here) who have been well rewarded for their service to the Woolwich mayor and Chemtura/Lanxess , all the rest have been given the cold shoulder or much worse.
This latest argument is just Woolwich constantly pushing. They are frustrated because they know that to date they have been unsuccessful in shutting me up or down. Yes only Sebastian of the former 2010-2015 CPAC is on TRAC however that membership has slowly over 9 1/2 years gone from problematic to embarrassing to counter productive. TAG, RAC and TRAC have done zero good for the public and significant bad by simply providing the professional liars... oops make that simply providing the world class instigators of TYPOS, cover and protection from appropriate public criticism and condemnation. That said I do acknowledge that Sebastian has stepped up and publicly contradicted his TAG and TRAC colleagues on a number of occasions. They knowing that he won't go any further appear willing to let him do so, right up until they don't and then he'll be shown the door.
The November 14/24 letter to Tiffany from Luis Almeida has a total of five questions from TRAC to Lanxess/GHD. To date I have given reasonably detailed responses to GHD's responses to Questions 1 (Stroh property and Stroh Drain, Ditch & Berm (SDDB) as well as to GHD's response to Question 4 regarding Effective Solubilities say of chlorobenzene versus Aqueous Solubilities. GHD responses were shoddy and defective similar to other past reports. Meanwhile TRAC's Question 2 is about below Target pumping rates and actually makes me realize that TRAC and Tiffany make actually be paying some attention to my technical critiques as this is one that I've been pounding on for the last couple of years or more. TRAC's Question 3 is about the revised HHERA (Human Health & Ecological Risk Assessment) and TRAC wanting a response from Lanxess/GHD more than a year later. Also TRAC would like an update on the clean up of "hot spots" in the vicinity of residents along the Creek. This wording I find a little odd as historically the "hot spots" referred to three areas conveniently along roads crossing the Creek downstream namely at the New Jerusalem Rd., Northfield Dr, and Jigs Hollow Rd. (outside West Montrose) . Finally Question 5 is TRAC asking for a Well Installation Log which GHD are somewhat claiming is already done.
So do the additional three questions all need my comments? Perhaps one or two do but not all of them. We shall see.
