Unacceptable how? The water that’s being pumped into Honey Creek (actually, not Honey Creek proper, but a tributary, which flows through our property) is extremely clean. The groundwater is pumped up, treated and cleaned, and then discharged into the creek. I agree that on the whole this strategy for containing the plume has been unsuccessful, but let’s not give the impression than we’re pumping dioxane-contaminated groundwater directly into the Huron River system.
