This conclusion was derived using the D.R.A.S.T.I.C. method which accounts for:
But the EPA gonna gaslight you like you're a dumb person.
The map you see is a Pollution Potential Map.
and DRASTIC helps calculate who / where is at the highest risk, greater potential for ground water pollution.
Here is the full resolution of the Columbiana County Ground Water Pollution Potential map. If you're yellow, you have a high risk of ground water pollution potential.
EPA says the pump inlets are 56-98 feet below surface. That dont matter cuz the WATER table is only 15-18 feet below surface at the well site.
Their statements are not truthful. Here's the US Geo water table history for the #EastPalestineOH city wells:
Here are the city wells. 0.33 miles from the polluted Sulphur run. And 18 feet from the surface to the water table.
So what do you/they do?
You: (1) monitor your potable water. (2) monitor your basement air. (3) don't go near the creeks.
They (will probably): (1) monitor ground wells (2) drill new water wells far away (3) create a water demand to consume the contaminated water
I am just a dumb guy on the internet. Please do your own research. I am not a scientist, geologist, etc. But this seems very straight forward IMO.
I encourage smart people to refute this.
Another tweet. The @OhioEPA says "...any ground water at the derailment site will not reach the source area for the municipal water system"
Removing 143.3 millions of gallons through pumps wont pull water from the East?
Only the West? GTFOH. Show me a computer model. I call BS
If you made it this far I will give you a follow lol.
Oopsie - caught another @OhioEPA oversight. The area in blue is a "Source Water Protection Area". The EPA is telling you it's 1.4 miles from the train wreck. Thats TRUE.
However, it's 0.04 miles from Sulphur Run which is a toxic rainbow. Demand answers. #EastPalestineOH
Why is Frank so focussed on the groundwater? Creeks interact with aquifers (underground water).
My dummy interpretation of this geological information is that there is direct interaction between the creeks and the water aquifer under #EastPalestine P49 ohiodnr.gov/static/documen…
Please keep in mind, I'm not a geologist. But I can read. So I am sharing my readings with you. Do your homework. Ask the questions. Hold people accountable. They haven't been truthful so far.
Oops another #EPA typo ! The Potable City water pump intakes may be 56-83 feet below surface, but the ground water is only 18 feet below surface. How do I know? US Geological Surveys. nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/gwlev…
Why is this important? Because Sample ID EPD-SW-03-01-020423 taken on 2/4/2023 before the "controlled" explosion showed elevated levels of Benzo(a)anthracene and Chrysene right next to the Potable City Water Wells.
PRE EXPLOSION
It would be logical to conclude that after 150,000 gallons were spilled and immolated that much of this would up going to the creeks near the City Water Wells.
And since 2/4/2023 no one has produced a readable Surface Water Analysis. And this analysis has since been deleted.🤔
Hello @OhioEPA and @EPA I am not a smart person. Can you please dumb down your #EastPalestineOH Surface Water Contamination reports so they are readable by lay people?
How about a 1 page surface water analysis for creeks?
I asked Mayor Conway to do this in person Wednesday.
Here's how dumb I am. I cant even interpret the raw data below (partial screenshots). I must be an absolute moron, as I cant interpret if the results (measured amount) are safe.
I think this is the secret decoder ring. But man, this is a lot of work to answer "are the creeks safe to kayak in?"
