Hope all is well and you are not overwhelmed with the flurry of activity at the Agency these days! I wanted to extend an invitation to Mr. Ross to have him spend whatever time he may be able to spare addressing The Fertilizer Institutes (TFI), Environment, Health, Safety, and Security Committee. I understand he has very few opportunities due to his busy schedule focusing on Office of Water priorities, however, we would welcome any amount of time (15-30 minutes) he may be able to attend. I understand that one of the top priorities in OW is improving water quality from nutrient run-off, which is the objective of one of our programs we manage, advocate, and implement here at TFI - The 4R Nutrient Stewardship Program. We will be meeting on April 10, 2018 at the TFI offices (see address in tag line below) from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. and can accommodate him at any time. We will have the typical interests (WOTUS, Nancy Stoner memo, coordination with Ag community to improve water quality, EPA/Corp 404 permitting reform, and any other ag/fertilizer related priorities he would like to discuss). It will be a very informal setting with our members. Please let me know if you require further detail for him to consider the value of attending such an event. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration, Ed.
