Bringing an experienced eye to Elmira’s water woes Professional engineer Richard Jackson heads Woolwich’s new Technical Advisory Group (TAG)
SCOTT BARBER An expert in the field of contaminant hydrogeology with four decades of experience in both the public and private sector, including involvement in numerous groundwater remediation projects, Heidelberg’s Richard Jackson has been tapped to chair the inaugural Technical Advisory
Group (TAG). Appointed by Woolwich council, Jackson’s tenure officially began September 1. TAG is expected to hold its first meeting this month, and in the meantime, Jackson says he will be busy listening and learning as much as he can about the history of the effort to bring the Elmira aquifer back to drinking water standards.
“I’m in a listening mode these days,” he said over coffee in Elmira. “There are people on TAG that have been through this and while they might not have technical expertise and experience I have had trying to clean up these kinds of sites, they sure know about this site.” Chemtura – Uniroyal TAG | 2
