Oh, ok. Sure we can talk in the next few weeks. Yes, definitely have your colleagues/supervisors stop and introduce

themselves to me please! I’d enjoy meeting them and talking with them.

BTW: one other point I wished I had made yesterday. The guidance document which AWWARF issued on storage tanks

was issued in 1999 which I believe you pointed out was post Gideon and pre

‐ Alamosa, but it is now 15 years old!!!! It’s

pre ‐ Stage 2 and RTCR. Things have changed significantly over the past 15 years in our industry and so should our

approach to tank inspection and cleaning.

Regards,

Randy

Hi Randy, thanks. I will not be at ASDWA but we can try to talk next week, or the week after. I’ve let some of my

colleagues/supervisors know that you will be there and they should try to look you up at your booth if they have the

chance.

Sean:

I thought that was an excellent discussion yesterday! It was good to hear the various stakeholders perspective. I do

have some additional information I think you should have as you go forward with your consideration of this very

important issue. The two MO DNR Technical Bulletins in particular should be very helpful. They were produced in2 response to the Gideon, MO incident and really represent the best “guidance documents” on the subject. As I said

yesterday, the framework recommended in the guidance document on inspections around the sanitary, safety, security,

structural and coatings conditions really has become the de facto framework for how do organize a tank condition

assessment upon which an effective tank asset management can be developed.

I would like to discuss this more with you in a telephone conversation perhaps next week if you have time. I will be

attending the ASDWA conference Monday to Thursday next week. Will you happen to be attending as well? Perhaps we

can meet there and talk?

At ASDWA I will be showing in our booth some very interesting preliminary research results we just got regarding biofilm

development on raw concrete vs. painted concrete. I’m hoping to start a conversation with the regulatory community

about that while there.

Thanks for including me in this discussion, I feel it was very worthwhile.

Regards,

Randy L. Moore
