Nice find...........that was like reading a personal history. I live in E. Fishkill (Hopewell Jct) and have lived here over 40 years..... I worked in that very plant run by IBM. The contaminated wells were primarily about 15 houses abutting IBM property. Those houses and many more around them were tested and have had activated carbon filters installed. At least 4 of the houses submitted Hudson River water for their test samples and were caught. Everyone wanted the free filtering system. The source of the PCE contaminaton was from a building that was used for cleaning wafer carriers and subcontracted to a former IBMer... The downtown area of Hopewell is contaminated from a former gas station, not PCE...

There are several sections of that report that I know are pure bull shit and you'll notice no one claims authorship but the style of writing reminds me of a local weekly newpaper published by a crabby guy that lives nearby...

The amount of water used by a chip plant anywhere is huge and the water used is purified to the point it is better than distilled water. Any water that IBM uses for processing is recycled back to it's source at a purity many times cleaner than when it was drawn into the IBM site....
