will provide an assessment of recent scientific information upon which the NAAQS

in highway soils. Comparison of Corpus Christi, Texas and Cincinnati, Ohio shows 
organic matter is key to mobility” to extract data from the Corpus Christi sites 
(CC#1 and CC#2) however no date is given for when the samples were taken.  
We are assuming that since the paper describes traffic volumes in <st1:place

this is also the same date for when the samples were taken.  Would our
