WHAT KIND OF SELF-SERVING IDIOTS TAKE SOIL SAMPLES FROM HIGH GROUND WHEN LOOKING FOR SURFACE FLOWING CONTAMINANTS?

 


Hmm let me see could that be CRA/GHD  and their clients Chemtura/Lanxess? Several years back they sampled down Lanxess's eastern property line testing for DDT and dioxins/furans. Two of their more southern sample areas were called SS20 and SS21. Now just from memory I believe that SS20 was the more southerly of the two. If that is correct then it is the one that certainly mostly is not located in the low lying area just north of the NW to SE diagonal ridge that while mostly on Lanxess's property does cross over to the Stroh property. A very large part of this sample area is actually located on the higher ground of the ridge versus in the low lying gravity flow area  that we are talking about. Also keep in mind the tremendous volumes of liquids day in and day out that were pumped over to the east side pits and then both leaked and overflowed .

This also reminds me of Ramin Ansari's (Lanxess) ridiculous remark to me  back around early 2019 after a TAG meeting  in which he suggested that pouring a pail of water on the ground in the Gap area would indicate flow direction. Beyond asinine! When Lanxess and their consultants cherry pick inappropriate sampling locations it only reduces their credibility even further.
