Dear
Mr.
Brewster,

In
your
last
correspondence
to
me,
dated
July
6,
1999,
you
stated
that
you
would
provide,
at
the
end
of
July,
a
complete
response
to
my
June
16,
1999
letter
on
the
District s
application
for
TSCA
404
Program
authorization.
No
response
has
been
received
since
your
July
6
letter,
so
I
am
writing
to
remind
you
that
a
response
is
due
and
also
to
highlight
items
that
are
not
complete,
based
on
earlier
correspondence
from
EPA
to
the
District
and
the
materials
that
were
received
with
the
District s
June
and
July
submissions,

At
the
time
of
writing
thisletter,
I
understand
that
a
question
is
outstanding
about
whether
one
Compliance
Monitor
is
to
be
funded
fiom
the
EPA
HUD2
grant
and
another
Compliance
Monitor,
at
exact
same
salary,
is
to
be
funded
out
of
the
EPA
404(
g)
grant.
I
understand
that
deliverables
are
still
being
negotiated
under
the
 
Enforcement 
Program
Element
for
these
two
grants.
Please
confirm
that
the
figures
and
discussion
about
the
roles
and
sources
of
fhnding
that
are
set

1letter
are
still
correct
or
make
changes
as
appropriate.

Notzj?
cation
­
July
response
(
see
page
28)
continues
to
use
the
phrase
 
lead
activity 
as
if
it
means
abatement
(
asdefined
in
DC s
rules).
However,
 
lead
activity 
also
may
include
inspections,
risk
assessments,
and
project
designing.
Unless
notifications
are
required
for
inspections,
risk
assessments,
and
project
designs,
it
appears
that
the
word
 
lead
activity 
should
be
changed
on
page
28.
