From: Moeller, Elizabeth V. [mailto:elizabeth.moeller@pillsburylaw.com] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2018 5:02 PM To: Kelly, Albert <kelly.albert@epa.gov> Subject: 2/28 Meeting request - Executive Team from Teck Resources
Dear Mr. Kelly, I am reaching out on behalf of our firm's client, Teck Resources Limited, a Canadian natural resource company which employs more than 800 people in the U.S., including employees in Alaska, Minnesota, and Washington state. Teck has been named for seven consecutive years as one of the top 10% of the world's 2,500 largest public companies on the Dow Jones Sustainability index. Teck's spends an average of $375 million annually on procurement from U.S. suppliers. Executives from Teck's headquarters are hoping that you might have time for a brief visit to introduce the company to you and update you on an issue in Region 10.
Teck is actively engaged in the Upper Columbia River (UCR) Remedial Investigation & Feasibility Study (REFS) process that is underway in looking at the historical discharges from the Trail (Canada) smelter. The RI/FS was enabled through a (2006) Settlement Agreement between Teck and US government agencies with an initial estimated cost of $7 million. Under EPA Region 10's oversight, Teck has now spent more than a decade and $90 million investigating the UCR Site in a rigorous, multi-party process that appears to still remain years away from conclusion. Teck had a productive meeting recently with Regional Administrator Chris Hladick about the direction the process is taking. I am attaching Teck's follow up correspondence for your background.
Our contacts in the Region have encouraged us to reach out to HQ. Would a meeting on Wednesday, February 28th be possible, perhaps a time between 10:30 and 1:30? At our meeting, I would be joined by Peter Rozee, Teck's Senior VP for Commercial and Legal Affairs, Christian Baxter, Director of Environmental Performance, and Tom Syer, Head of Government Affairs --and two of my partners who are national experts in energy and environmental law.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information. I look forward to meeting you. Many thanks!
Best, Elizabeth Moeller
