Johns Auto Wrecking Site: proposed removal from the Hazardous Sites List

The provided information is incorrect in:" In their report, Normandeau confirms Robinson Noble's findings that Hopkins Ditch does not actually flow and is not a ditch, per se, but rather a series of small disconnected pools." This ditch does flow sea...↓sonally and drains eastward (through a culvert on Hart Road) onto several residential properties. It would seem that it does not flow if you only view it in the summer dry months. The crux of the findings in this report is that the pollution has remained on site and will continue to do so, yet this is not likely given the movement of water through the property. This needs to be determined while considering the movement of water throughout the property during the winter and spring during peak precipitation levels. Residential properties are flooded with water that flows through this property. Coho determined that there are potential exposure pathways. This should be addressed before moving forward. Surrounding residential properties should not be forced to deal with pollution that originates on other properties because consultants are ignorant in their assessment of risk. Any entity assessing risk should consult with the Hopkins Ditch District #2.
