Page 2 of 2 <br />One other item still needs additional discussion. I thought that we had thoroughly discussed the issues <br />pertaining to my sampling and analysis, and now it seems that DBMS completely disregards the facts <br />presented. It can only be speculated at this time whether DRMS knows something that nobody else in the <br />district does, or if there is an issue with lack of technical skills available at DRMS. Once again, I remind <br />you that the October 16, 2014 memo that Tony had Tom write, ignored the information provided in that <br />cited 1994 EPA document regarding the numerical analysis in the neutral range for potential acid formation. <br />A proper understanding of that document and site conditions would not have allowed him to reach the <br />conclusion produced in the memo. I do have a good understanding of that EPA document as I was doing <br />work for them at that time it was produced and was quite familiar with its content. Personally, I find this <br />issue quite embarrassing in having to produce a plan that has no basis in fact, and for our State employees to <br />interpret regulations in a way in which they were never intended. As discussed before, this issue still leaves <br />me in a precarious position of being forced by a government agency into going along with something I <br />clearly know to be improper. Anyway, the plan is exactly what was ordered. <br />Mr. Barker is working on collecting sufficient money for your extra permit and bond costs and will get it in <br />once he has it together. However, in the meantime, I think it best to get through this side, so he can have a <br />completed permit when he does get the money together. I hope we can reach a better outcome for him than <br />what we did to Mr. Murphy last year. <br />Give me a call if you have any questions or additional instructions. <br />Sincerely, <br />BRAUN ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. <br />C.
