We are encouraged by the discussion and the opportunity we believe we have. Attached is the announcement and current agenda for the AML/Good Sam Summit at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) on April 26 sponsored by the Mining and metallurgical Society of America, Trout Unlimited and CSM. As you can see, we have a good group of speakers lined up. We would like to have someone from EPA speak in the mid-morning session. I mentioned this to Byron Brown when I met with him at the end of January, but have not heard back from him. Any help you can provide in helping us identify the right person from EPA is much appreciated.

EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 5 ED 002061 00073674-00001 Once again appreciate your interest in this topic. I had a couple of additional questions - 1. Given the type of projects you are interested in, what is the estimated average cost (or range or cost) of a project? 2. What would be the anticipated timeframe for completion of a typical project (1 year, 1-2 years or something else)? 3. Given the available resources and assuming adequate funds were available, what level of effort (i.e. number of active projects) do you think could be sustained on an annual basis over several years? Please let me know if you need any clarifications on these questions.
