Again, I will make the same offer: if she want to challenge me on the below posting, I will take a polygraph at my expense IF I lose. If I pass, she pays. Never a problem for me.
We live in sad and dangerous times when the Truth is a flickering light; and the Evil in our lives is like a raging fire" Lawrence Wilson
I noticed this mid day on the 29th and feel it is worth changing what I was going to post today in favor of the following:
"I (Brenda Powell), wanted to share research that I obtained a long time ago (my emphasis), that is a 137-page pdf file (I believe that means it was downloaded), from:
Mr. Anthony Iacobone
Remedial Project Manager (3HS23)
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
1650 Arch Street
Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029
In May 2017 CDM Federal Programs Corporation (CDM Smith) submitted an attached Final Long-Term Response Action Summary Report, on the Vienna PCE Superfund Site, Vienna, West Virginia". Anyone who wishes can download the report from the EPA site.
I noticed where Ms. Powell stated" I wanted to share research that I had obtained a "long time ago". She than went on to comment on a 137 page report from EPA. Now in late 2017 (October), she commented that she had been looking around and had found some EPA information on the water issues in Vienna. I asked if I could see the data. I had wanted to compare against what I had been getting from Vienna. She said that the EPA had been noting water issue violations (Plural), to the City. The City had provided me with data for a single violation in the past 10 years. So I was thinking "Voila' ", may have caught them doing something they should not have done. Or worse yet, not doing something they should have?
Her response to me was that when she went back to download them, they had disappeared, all of them. Now all of a sudden, she has this article. I suspect I know who she got
it from and it was not via her efforts? She may have gotten the data on what to ask for, but I do not believe again that it was via her own efforts?
If she is finally going to share whatever her BFF's are doing, that is for the Citizens of Vienna a good thing, a very good thing. To have sat on this for months with all the brouhaha on the alleged contaminants going on at the City Council again shows she probably just got it? If NOT, shame, shame, shame on her.
This is what gets me ticked off, the inability of so many to tell the Truth on issues. I am going to allege she did not have this data months ago while belaboring the contaminants at the Park side of Johns Manville.
And, one must note that the report is on the supposed contaminants from the Dry Cleaners down to the Johns Manville area(s)? While this goes against everything I have been told as noted by a member of the Triad drilling crew and people who live on or next to 34th Ave, I will not say it is not possible. I have questioned the possibility of contaminants from the Park Site North East and meeting up with the Dry Cleaner materials.
The possibility of going the other way has been questioned before and I was told that the way the substrata was there that the Dry Cleaner contaminants would go to Jackson School area, not the Johns Manville site.
We need remember that the Johns Manville Park site is downhill from the Cleaners as is the Jackson School area to the East. Could contaminants flow both ways? I would guess that once the actual sub strata water flow potential is determined, the answer could be YES? And we need to discuss the fact that the Ohio River Water Table appears to be much higher than years back. That would beg the question that the water level is now 20 feet deep (per the various "water" experts that drilled or are drilling down on the Park site versus what may well be about 40' feet or more at the Dry Cleaners site?
Questions:
1. What is the actual substrata flow of water or anything else from the Park Site per not just the Triad Drilling in 2013- 2014, but also the CMI drilling in either 2017 or now? Does anyone really know?
2. What is the actual substrata flow of water or anything else from the Dry Cleaners in the past 30 or so years beginning when the soil at the Cleaners site was determined to be dangerous? This will for sure impact on the so called monitoring wells that are said to be on the 34th Street access down to the School? Plus the one said to be down at the Park Site? Why would it have to be there to check the flow of contaminants from the Dry Cleaners versus from the Park Site going North or North East?
3. Most importantly, can the Dry Cleaner contaminants get to the Park Site and than into the River? Remember, we just built a small park on the site of the Dry Cleaners. The River Park is no different as far as planned development, i.e., no digging in the site, just build on it.
4. The City did NOT own that property in 2011. It was owned or being purchased by Integrated Systems to be salvaged and resold. That could/ would trigger some sort of monitoring from the site, not likely to it?
I do not question she may NOW have a report. I could allegedly easily give someone else credit for obtaining it and very recently? Remember that recently Mr. Conley said he had the Triad 2013- 2014 Site Survey and if there were more, he wanted copies of them? Mr. Leach said the Vienna Library was the Records Repository for the Johns Manville Records (and possibly other Historical Documents for the City)? Maybe that is where someone finally found it? Mr. Conley's comments; Mr. Leach's comments and Ms. Powell's comments do NOT seem to match up? Who is the odd man/ woman out in this deal? I allege that IF and I repeat IF, that document had been available earlier, she would have given it to Mr. Conley?
If she has actually had the report for a long time, than she has as I have alleged been protecting Mr. Rapp? And playing fast and loose by putting the rest of the Community Children among others in potential future jeopardy by not disclosing what would be very important information on what could be happening or may happen on that Park Site?
If she is trying to one up on me for my posting yesterday, I am not worth it. If she somehow thinks I am trying that with her, allow me, she is not worth it. This is what seems just more of her throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks? To try and legitimize a course of action that potentially puts any member of our City in danger is very childish?
It is beyond me in every fiber of my fabric to fathom why anyone would put any pregnant woman, child or elderly person in any type of danger just to try and build up ones self esteem and importance? I went into Public Service as I wished to serve; although now retired, I have not quit desiring to serve the Public as I have been doing for the past seven years.
To me, it is just more of the alleged lack of communication and cooperation that the Residents of Vienna don't ( my boo boo, sorry), need? Hope she shares more, possibly starting with the Truth? "ne'er nuff said"
