Meeting went back to JM/ Upper Site again as meeting began to wind down. This time it was about the PCE Plume that was coming down from the Vienna Dry Cleaners site and to a lessor degree the Busy Bee Cleaners site.
Mr. Conley stated that the plume from the Dry Cleaners was moving into and was actually on the JM site. Also noted that the C8 may be fine through our filters, but it is coming up to us in the air. Again commented on just happened to be driving down 28th St., and saw a truck sitting on the side of the road. It was a Kemron Truck and they were working for the EPA. It was pumping out of that site. (Note: one of the extraction wells noted earlier where I said getting less and less contaminants each year. :ETON).
Mr. Conley than noted he has spoken to Mr. Hancock (DEP), who advised him that his function with the City was strictly on contaminants with the JM site. Plume not part of his issues.
Mr. Conley than stated that he had mentioned at a Council Meeting that the Plume had spread across River Road. Another Council Member (Mr. Rogers), said was not spreading and never under JM to start with. (I have covered all of the Charts put out in the last few weeks in prior postings. While some were said to go down to 27th & River Road across to lower site, the last one I was given showed no more that the Southern side of 28th and than curving up to actually across at about where 29th if it ran straight through upper site would go across by Railroad Road Tracks. A bit of "Truth in Advertising" here. Mr. Rogers owns a home on about 27th and River Road. IF and I repeat IF the plume was under his home, he would play Holy Hell selling it.)
Mr. Conley than noted that in the latest(?) chart, most of the plume is now at a 5mgl, which is at the "acceptable" level. (I suspect that as and if it spreads across the Park Site to the Ohio, it will be more and more a non-detect as is the C8 in our water? We may well be getting into a much ado about nothing. There is the question on the plume actually curving North to Wells 7& 8, but that may well be a helluva curve. As I wrote before, the person who knows an awful lot on this is more concerned about the quality of water in ALL the wells from restarting Wells 7& 8?).
Mr. Conley than went on that the new Water Filtration Systems for wells 7 & 8 will be on the North Western corner of the JM site close to 33/ 34th St. Said that "he just happened to have the latest drawing with him and stopped to talk to the Kemron Rep.
Someone: Problem started with only Dry Cleaners in Vienna. (also have Busy Bee Site- two sites). Never built anything on that site, just made it into a park.
Comment on site being a Super Fund Site now. (Note: when a Super Fund Site is now classified as part of the Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP), it is supposedly removed as a Super Fund Site unless the Business/ Governmental Unit screws up the conditions of the VRP? That may be why Triad got fired as they were said to not be meeting the timetable established by EPA/DEP? :ETON).
Ms. Powell: EPA put out for bid $240,000 to monitor/ take care of equipment.
Someone: A lack of transparency. Randy owes apology and so does Leach. Atty., use of antics in Courtroom and stoop to same in Council Meetings?
Mr. Conley: Comments deleted from printed minutes. Seem to pick and choose who gets cut out?
Someone: Bibbee comments on the Council being a Joke. I made that comment. (I earlier said, that whomever made that comment in the prior meeting was not in the meeting where Mr. Bibbee went off the rails again. I had thought it was a male and not a female? So I was wrong earlier and stand corrected).
Brenda (Powell), and I were talking after that meeting, people pulling back and losing interest.
Mr. Yeater: We sat (Mr. Rapp), in my garage discussing what he would do when elected.
And that my friends is finally the end of that meeting...…………. Sorry it took so long, but there was a lot discussed, sometimes twice and more talk than any planned actions?
Was a very interesting comment made on one of Ms. Powell's' sites on the 21st of June at about 8:00 A.M.
"Just came to me this morning I wondered why Linda Kerns does not give updates on the events at the last council meetings of each month on the attendance at each event and the amount the city spent to host each one? This should happen with anything that she is involved in so we can see how many people participate and how much it costs the city. We had the big truck day, and Cinco de Mayo at the pet parks is an example. I feel that colored ad printed on the back of the weekly tv guide paper cost a pretty penny for these two events".
SOMEONE REPLIED: "You should ask that at the next council meeting in the "Public Forum" portion of the meeting. After all that's what it's for".
ADD ON: At 1:50 P.M., 21 June, I looked again and the above remark was gone.
And than on the 23d, this showed up:
Rick XXX I believe that falls under Economic Development and yes seems like somebody had promised a monthly report from them.
45m (Posted here 8:45 P.M., 23 June 2018) This was NOT what was promised, it was a deal where Mr. Bibbee had asked for monthly reports on the Economic Development Department and that being Mr. Thornton. Mr. Elam had cut Ms. Kerns out in the beginning as her activities were supposedly above question? Again, these people are after Mr. Thornton and seemed to have gotten screwed up as they often do?
I looked again at the above time and as noted. Not many people are allowed to comment on those sites in Truth. Strictly monitored and if anything were to be posted that was an imaginary or real insult to anyone's Psyche, it would probably be deleted? But maybe even the poster being blocked from site? I know I was...………………. 'nuff said'.
