A lot of publicity for TR by the TD. Their article yesterday was priceless in its unanswered questions and its verification that the city and the commissioners went to a great deal of effort to conceal the spill from the public.
If the commissioners really wanted to be transparent they would have held a public discussion and explained the issue and the solutions undertaken. Instead it was hidden in obscure public documents to provide the city credible deniability should the spill become public knowledge. Sure enough, here it is!
Keep up the good work, TR, subscriptions should improve now.

If COT, DEP, and ARCADIS ALL agree that thousands of gallons leaked, but, only about 500 gallons were recovered, what happened to the rest?

Along this line, the initial ARCADIS report indicated that detection wells found a SW plume direction. Were additional detection wells drilled past the last initial test wells to see if the fuel plumes continued moving SW?

Did DEP require COT to drill more wells and COT balked at doing so?

What does DEP say about the unrecovered fuel?

Please send a copy of this report to Tallahassee Democrat Reporter Jeff Burlew and each city commissioner.

I guess when they are busy on junkets to Sandestin, Amelia Island, Washington DC, Manhattan, pretending to live in their district, and awarding contracts to their campaign managers (TAPP, Edison, etc.)they lose sight of the critical issues.

Outstanding reporting Tallahassee Reports!
