The Community Science Institute in Ithaca headed by Sephen Penningroth seems to have done the most research on the water tests that make the most sense as a baseline to prepare for nearby gas drilling. Are there other people in this area who would like to have that testing done at this time? Their price for a whole battery of tests is a reasonable $427.00. Their price for coming over here to collect the samples would be about $500 but if there were maybe 5 of us then the costs would be brought down to a reasonable level for all of us. AMP out of Morrisville is also conducting tests but they don't seem to think that establishing a chain of custody for the water sample is important. The problem with that is if you later wanted to sue the gas company it is questionable that those tests would be considered valid in a court of law. Also one of their customers is Nornew so I'm thinking I would prefer to use someone else. Chenango Valley Environmental Labs gets involved in bottling pills and medicinal creams as well as testing water samples and then I wonder what's happening to the tests that I ordered? Also Dave at CVEL took water samples from my kitchen sink rather than going upstream from the filter and water treatment tank. Both CSI of Ithaca and AMP of Morrisville say it is better to take the sample before the water is filtered or treated. My considered opinion is CSI is the most thorough lab with the most carefully thought out battery of tests and at a comparatively reasonable price. So let me know and I can forward your physical addresses on to CSI for them to figure out if everyone who is willing to spring for a test should be included in this upcoming trip. Peter |
