I would encourage those involved closely with this issue to question the credibility of David Palais, the Natural Resources manager Nestle has placed in the Pacific Northwest.  I just finished listening to the show and he stated that he has a PhD in hydrogeology.  He said he received his degree from Arizona State University.  Being interested in hydrogeology myself I quickly searched his name and Arizona State on google only to find out that Arizona State claims David Palais has a degree in metamorphic petrology.  See ASU's website where he and his degree are stated: http://amoroso101.asu.edu/alumni/alumni_news.html.

I have an undergraduate degree in enviromental studies combined with geology, and from my education and understanding metamorphic petrology does not necessarily have anything to do with hydrogeology.  However, I was not able to find his dissertation, which may, somehow, be related to hydrogeology, as metamorphic processes can involve water.  I am just brining this point up in hopes that others who can look into the facts a bit further.
