I understand the print version runs Monday morning, but the story is available online. I hope you feel as I do that there is nothing here to cause any embarrassment to the Agency. I made clear that the meeting was very pro forma and a typical meeting that any sector would have with their regulatory agency. I also said that this was the first opportunity we had to discuss our regulatory issues with the new leadership at EPA and we were pleased to have the chance to brief such capable and intelligent EPA policymakers. The fact that Anne Germain talked to the press without our knowledge and 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA - 6/22 Production ED 001523 00008706-00001 volunteered that the meeting had taken place is another troubling matter that we are dealing with. It is not our practice to reach out to the press or volunteer information during the particularly sensitive time when the Agency has not yet made a decision on a matter and is considering its options. I truly regret this incident and apologize for the concern it must have caused you. I truly hope this incident has not soured our relationship. I have to say that as a former EPA employee, I feel very inspired to see three very capable women in places of leadership within the Agency and I look forward to the prospect of getting to know you better. This evening I leave for a two-week vacation to Spain, so I did want to ensure that you have alternative contacts to reach out to with any questions or information you might want to share. I am attaching contact information for Chris Ball, our WM Senior Counsel, Carol McCabe, our WM, outside counsel and Mack McGuffey, who is Republic Services outside counsel.
