Has a New Love Canal been discovered directly above NYC's Cracked Aqueduct & Water Supply?

What? Why? Where? When? How? 
First theoretical Hypothesis 

The Catskill-Delaware Aqueduct is a ​water tunnel that conveys one billion gallons of water to NYC, each day ​

New York City gets all of it's drinking water from upstate New York reservoirs
The water is conveyed through an aqueduct water tunnel built in the 1940's
There is no back up delivery for the drinking water system and there never has bee
The water tunnel that conveys one billion gallons of drinking water to New York City per day, . . . . cracked
***
Severe rain events hit the Greater Northeast Area in 2006 and flooding occurred in Upstate New York
The NYC DEP commissioned 2 years of extensive engineering and consultants to study the problems associated with the broken tunnel
Right afterwards, the DEP began suppling bottled water, UV lights, and chlorination systems to homeowners living directly above the NYC leaking aqueduct
In 2009, the DEP then commissioned 4 more years of extensive USGS studies and reports to make observations of the chemistry of the local homeowner and the public drinking water wells
New York City preformed their due diligence by dividing the study into four designated areas
In the first designated area, fifty five homes were deemed so toxic and beyond repair that they needed to be bought out, demolished and deed restrictions applied mandating that no future structure for human inhabitation could ever be built upon the properties, again
in the 2nd and 3rd designated areas, . . NYC agreed to build a new public drinking water system for over 300 residents, . . .  with the one stipulation that all residents agree to sign a full health release of  litigation
​***
  The drinking water system would cost seven million dollars and would extend a mile and a half north to the Ellenville troopers barracks which tested positive for 13,800 parts per billion of Strontium 90
The local politicians enacted a news media black out so that no word of it would be printed, . . . and that no rumors of it could be spread
In 1993, the EPA Had Demanded that NYC Install a Federally Mandated Filtration System at the end of the water pipe (effluent) of the Catskill Delaware Aqueduct System, . .  and NYC Refused

​Surrounding the Cracked NYC Water Tunnel ​

Delaware Aqueduct
  1. ​​HOW did legacy nuclear wastes end up in backyard wells in the Catskill Mountains?
  2. and after sever rain events, was able to seep into homeowners basements and cracked aqueduct?
  3. 100 miles North of NYC

Who knew what?               When did they know it?

1964

In 1964, Governor Rockefeller decided to build a new by pass tunnel that would have by passed the Rondout Reservoir, the Village of Ellenville, the Hamlet of Napanoch, and the Town of Wawarsing
The project was partially funded with $6.4 million but construction never materialized
The tunnel by pass Idea was Abandoned in 1965  and Governor Rockefeller instead Introduced the very First Environmental Law "Pure Waters Bond Act" for water and sewer districts.
​
Ellenville got the very first grant ever, to build a new water district
A lot of domestic dogs and cats around Ellenville and Accord were being dognapped for Biomedical laboratory experiments and Congressman Joseph Resnick sponsored the very first, "Animal Welfare Act" in the nation, upon which all future animal cruelty laws would be based upon
The Atomic Energy Act of 1954 had many secrecy provisions 

When Severe Rain Events of 2006 caused chemical wastes to float, ending up in the to the Rondout Creek and Flowed into the Floodplains, and then Seeped into Homeowners basements

A BACK UP WATER CONVEYANCE SYSTEM WAS NEVER BUILT and THERE IS NO REDUNDANT ALTERNATIVE

The Catskill Delaware Aqueduct tunnel  is a 13 FT. WIDE  water ​pipe that supplies All of NYC with Drinking water, . . and with NO BACK UP system available

THE CATSKILL DELAWARE AQUEDUCT INFLOW WAS 12,960,000 GALLONS PER DAY in 1958

THE RUPTURED UPSTATE AQUEDUCT PIPE RUNS STRAIGHT THROUGH THE Town of Wawarsing GROUNDWATER AQUIFER.

​Legacy Wastes
Summary;
  • The Aqueduct's fragmented linear cracks allow 14,000,000 gals. of water to be lost and / or gained through the walls of the damaged concrete / steel liner, on a daily basis.
  • Local wells in the Town of Wawarsing​, had become contaminated, and so NYC Supplied Bottled Water
  • USGS tests discovered Tritium, Strontium 90, in many local contaminated wells, and told residents it was E coli 
  • Fifty five residential homes above the fractured aqueduct were Purchased and Demolished by NYC
  • Residents were paid $20,000. for "Releases of Future Litigation" not to sue
  • $5.5 Million more is pledged for additional Health Release Settlements
  • A New Public Drinking Water system is Promised for 275 more homes, by NYC
  • There are four EPA Superfunds beginning within a 2 mile radius from the Aqueduct Cracks
  • EPA Tests Reveal PCB's, Dioxin, TCE, Benzene, and Methyl Chloride
  • ​THE BREACHED AQUEDUCT RELEASES WATER OUT AND ALLOWS CONTAMINATION TO FLOW IN, ON ROUTE TO ITS FINAL DESTINATION, NYC
  • The DEP DENIES ANY and ALL RESPONSIBILITY, ACCOUNTABILITY  & HEALTH LIABILITY

Trailer park renters had no recourse while the trailer park owner filed a lawsuit
