Dear Mr. Kelly (Albert) --
It was a pleasure to speak with you this morning. Per our conversation, I am attaching copies of the May 17 memoranda I sent to the RROs of the Departments of Commerce and Interior. I have also re-attached here (for easy access so everything is in one place) the May 15 memorandum to Samantha Dravis previously provided to you. Also attached is the "protocol" I referred to during our discussion. I hope that it can be helpful and we are prepared to further develop the ideas contained in this document -- titled "The Relationship Between Clean Up (at Superfimd and Other Hazardous Waste Sites) and Restoration off Natural Resources: A Best Practice Approach for Industrial Companies and Others". We have intentionally kept this document as a "Draft for Discussion" to encourage dialogue and a robust exchange of ideas.
As noted today, a mechanism to permit consistent (and meaningful) upfront identification and agreement among the parties relative to available options/approaches for handling the remediation/NRD interface when appropriate would be a very positive step forward in my view -- as well as identifying and removing any unnecessary "inhibiters" to achieving cost-effective and expeditious remediation and natural resource restoration when both are at play (or potentially at play) with respect to a specific site.
I am happy to answer questions, provide additional information, review draft documents, or meet in person if it can help to advance the objectives of the Superfund Prioritization mandate and associated Task Force. I will look forward to hearing from you and/or your colleagues and wish you the best of luck in preparing your initial "30 day" set of recommendations. This is an important and potentially game changing activity and I applaud it.
Kind regards, Barbara
