WMD Military Boots-On-Ground Teams Researching West Virginia Water, They Say

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Military weapons of mass destruction (WMD) civil support teams from five states have been working in southern part of West Virginia since Jan. 9, 2014. WCYB revealed Monday.

The military WMD teams reportedly went to Ground Zero to “assist the West Virginia National Guard’s 35th CST with the collection, data entry and transport of water samples for evaluation,” according to WCYB.

Saturday, 14 Soldiers and Airmen from the Virginia National Guard’s Fort Pickett-based 34th Civil Support Team to assist with an “ongoing water sampling operation.”

“The impact of the National Guard has been huge,” said Jeff McIntyre, president of West Virginia American Water.

He said the Guard has been playing a key role in helping with water sampling over 3,000 square miles impacted by the chemical leak.

“Their support shows us how important the National Guard is to a state and community or even a private enterprise that can’t do everything it needs for the people of West Virginia.”

West Virginia officials lifted water bans that had begun Jan. 9, “but sampling continues to evaluate the water supply,” WCTB reported.

“Officials say they will continue testing until the system has been sampled and tested at 1/100 parts per million (10 parts per billion), a level well below the Center for Disease Control recommended threshold for public health and considered to be the level of non-detection.”

CSTs from Tennessee, Ohio and Washington, D. C. deployed for duty soon after the initial chemical leak to assist the 35th CST with water sample collection, inputting tracking information and transporting samples to testing labs for evaluation.

CSTs from Virginia and Pennsylvania arrived Jan. 18 after the initial CSTs departed.

“After our initial response, we realized pretty quickly that we were going to need some help,” said Lt. Col. Greg Grant, commander of the 35th CST.

WCYB reports, “He said that while the water company was very skilled and experienced in their operations, the demand of collecting more than 1,500 samples over a period of more than 10 days required a huge effort. With the help of the other CSTs, water sampling operations have been running 24 hours a day.”

Military and Corporate Protocol

For the sampling operations, National Guard Soldiers and Airmen pair up with employees of West Virginia American Water, the private water company, travel to a designated survey point, collect a water sample, label it, return it to a collection point where key data is captured and then, send it away for evaluation.
 
Civil Support Team (CST) personnel continue tracking samples until evaluation results are returned from the lab.
 
“Our baseline survey task is to go to a point, take a sample, bring it back and get it to an analytical lab,” said Maj. Casey Cox, commander of the 34th Civil Support Team. He said nuts and bolts behind effective sampling is the data plus carefully and accurately tracking the sample results throughout the process.
 
Grant said that he called the commander of Tennessee’s CST at 10:30 a.m. and they were on a plane five hours later.
 
“The professionalism and skill sets of the National Guard and CSTs are really remarkable, and we know we can count on each other,” he said.

Meanwhile, independent scientists are running their own tests.

They say that as far as they know, official tests being conducted are not even testing the real poison that is injuring people.

If they are, that news has not been made public.

      What’s wrong with this picture? Military’s called in to help research water – but homes of the injured are not being researched or monitored nor are the people being given an option to flee until the chemical is no longer in their homes.

      Chemical spill blamed on leaking storage tanks might be a cover story for something else that is going on.

      Up here in Levittown, Bucks County Pa, suburb of Philadelphia. For the last week myself and my family members have noticed the water has a more chlorinated/chemical smell to it. Has anyone else noticed it from their own faucet? Or is it just a region 3 thing? Makes you think…..

      And what is that licorice smell? It’s not MCHM…
