A hidden tannery report confirmed groundwater flowed toward the city wells

Evidence

Reading the report with rising excitement, Schlichtmann discovered that the Yankee engineers had drilled six monitoring wells on the tannery property, wells that had remained secret throughout the entire EPA pump test and the trial. The report stated that groundwater from under the tannery flowed to the east, toward the city wells, through very porous soil, exactly as Schlichtmann’s expert, Pinder, had predicted. — Jonathan Harr, A Civil Action, 2901
