On August 1, 2007, 3M/Dyneon submi tted the final report of the results of groundwater and wastewater monitoring at the 3M m anufacturing sites at Cottage Grove, MN and Decatur, AL . However, as stated in that submi ttal and as indicated in the supplemental letter of May 07, 2003, 3M was to have conducted an additional round of sampling for fish, clams, and Tennessee River water and sediment in the vicinity of the Decatur, Alabama m anufacturing facility . This sampling occurred in December of 2006 . In this submi ttal we are providing the results of the analyses of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) for these samples . The water and sediment data is shown in Table 5 a ttached, which includes the data from sampling conducted previously . The fish and clam data from sampling in December, 2004 (submitted previously) and from the more recent sampling in December 2006 is shown in Table 6. In summary, this submi ttal fulfills all commitments of 3M and Dyneon under the March 13, 2003 3M LOI and the March 14, 2003 APFO Users LOI .
