• Chaff disintegrates on land. It decomposes slowly in arid areas and has no
adverse effects on soil chemistry and plant growth. Chaff interference with
wildlife is expected to be negligible based on chaff use, characteristics,
and observed accumulations.

Geochemical significance of chaff deposition. Chaff is approximately 60% glass fibers and
40% aluminum by weight (Rock, 1999). To put this in a geochemical perspective, the
deposition of chaff can be compared with airborne dusts found in the high desert environment.
The comparison to desert dust is relevant because the composition of dust is dominated by
silicon dioxide (SiO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), which are the most common minerals in the
Earth’s crust (Pye, l987)

VTRPE is a computer model. It is not a real thing.
The Variable Terrain Radio Parabolic Equation (VTRPE) computer model is a powerful and flexible program that provides calculations of the radar propagation conditions of the atmosphere. It is limited however, by the accuracy and resolution of the input data. This study quantifies the sensitivity of the VTRPE model to the accuracy and resolution of the atmospheric parameters that go into it. Also, two case studies are examined to test the utility of VTRPE in operational use. The sensitivity to measurements of pressure, temperature, and humidity was found to be dependent on the meteorological environment. In standard and subrefractive environments, average values of Root Mean Squared Error in calculating propagation pathloss were greatest for measurement errors in humidity. While the overall RMSE averaged only 0.5% to 5%, in certain regions the errors in calculating pathloss were as high as 20%. VTRPE was used to calculate possible height errors when birds were detected at long ranges from a WSR-88D radar in a ducting environment. While the radar assumes a standard atmosphere when calculating height, results from VTRPE suggest that this resulted in possible height errors of over 3 km. Another case study of detected anomalous propagation was examined to determine the effects of multiple soundings in the VTRPE calculation of propagation pathloss. In this example, the effect of assuming a homogeneous atmosphere resulted in propagation pathloss errors of up to 30%.

Here's the full quote.
Chaff could have made it to Shasta though I would hardly call the radar images conclusive evidence of it. The tape stops with the chaff at least 50 miles from Shasta.
Would chaff account for the aluminum found around Shasta? It doesn't have to and it's unlikely that it does. What a more recent report says. And before you complain about the source, please note the panel who did the research.
But I thought the premise was that the aluminum found around Shasta was the result of geoengineering. Is ECM chaff considered part of the geoengineering scheme or are we back calling everything (geoengineering, cloud seeding, chaff) "chemtrails".

VTRPE is a computer model. It is not a real thing.
A Matlab translation script was generated to convert
the CREDO output model to the data format required by VTRPE
The military chaff is causing germs from the high level to come down just like the geoengineers in the beginning of the movie theorize geoengineering would do so they are hesitant to begin.
So I have found a source for Aluminum on Mt. Shasta.

You really need to stop just posting stuff without taking the time to understand it.

Ok. It's a real computer model. Do you consider computer models to be "real".

Indeed. And whilst Galileo was wrong, he was more right than those who wanted to kill him
But what are your qualifications when it comes to geoengineering?
I assume you have been studying the subect and therefore know, for example, about the paper referred to here:
Geoengineering To Mitigate Global Warming May Cause Other Environmental Harm
and I'd be interested therefore to know what your thoughts were at the time and whether they have changed since.
