<P><FONT size=2>Becky,<BR><BR>Contact Info for Sanders Soil Data 
Calls:<BR><BR>10-31-06 and 11-01-06 spoke with Charmaine Roche, Environmental 
Engineer II, ADEM (334-271-7763) about the availability of soil lead sampling 
data.  Charmaine said that ADEM does not have lead soil sampling 
data.  She said they only have ground water sampling data associated with 
the Sanders facility.  Charmaine called the Sanders facility and found out 
that they have historical lead soil sampling data from on-site, as well as blood 
lead data from workers.  The Sander's contact is Chris Rutherford 
334-566-1563.  <BR><BR>Liz Schoeneck<BR>ICF International<BR>3200

Liz!<BR><BR>The facility again is Sanders Lead Company in Troy Alabama (Pike 
County) - a secondary lead smelter.<BR><BR>In addition to Zach's request to get 
whatever lead soil sample data we can for the facility (one of his last 
paragraphs below), we do need to know how to spell her name and what her title 
is.<BR><BR>Becky<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From:

Lead data for the Sanders facility<BR><BR>Becky,<BR><BR>Here are notes on my 
contacts regarding Sanders (it was a sad and<BR>twisted road, but did up-end 
some important stones):<BR><BR>6/16<BR>- spoke with Rick Gillam (EPA R4) about 
region 4 contacts for Sanders<BR>Lead Co (Pike Co, Troy Al) - gave me two names: 
(a) Katie Forney - EPA<BR>permitting 404-562-9130 and (b) Lael Buttler (miss) - 
RCRA coordinator -<BR>section chief for South region - he said that one of them 
could point me<BR>towards who to talk to. He also told me that Alabama 
is<BR>deligated/authorized, so I will ultimately likely be speaking with 
a<BR>state person for this stuff.<BR><BR>6/19 - Katie gave me this state contact 
Larry Brown (branch chief for<BR>Alabama state envr dept) - 
lwb@adm.state.al.us  (334-271-7886). Sanders<BR>has at least 2 PSD 
(prevention of significant deterioration) permits -<BR>should have Title 5 in 
works.  LEFT a message with him<BR><BR>6/20 - Sanders Lead Co (Pike Co, 
Troy Al) - Lael Buttlerr - called back<BR>- Al is fully authorized (so EPA 
doesn’t do stuff for them anymore) -<BR>state contact. He gave me Chip 
Crockett's name - supervisor in land<BR>division (334) 271-7974). He gave me 
Chermain Rochett's (engineering<BR>services section)  name as the site 
coordinator for Sanders.<BR><BR>8/15 - eventually got Chermain Rochett's (SP?) 
number - 334-271-7763<BR>(trying to get her)<BR><BR>8/28 Talked with Chermain 
and she is looking into BLLs and soil data for<BR>Sanders. Got back to me on 
Tuesday (she said there is likely no BLL, but<BR>might be soil lead - she is 
searching by hand - I did send her an<BR>e-mail)<BR><BR>9/5 spoke with Chermain 
and she told me that her search of available<BR>files on Sanders had not turned 
up any recent soil sampling data. Any<BR>data that did exist was from on-site 
sampling associated with facility<BR>modifications and did not include sampling 
of residential areas.<BR><BR>So, the bottom line is that I ended up speaking 
with a contact in the<BR>Land Division of The Al State Dept of the Envir (I was 
told this was the<BR>best group to go to for soil lead data and that they would 
know about<BR>blood lead data). She is the coordinator for the Sanders fracility 
(on<BR>the land division side - probably would be good to have 
better<BR>discription of her pervue) - she said there are no data.<BR><BR>I 
talked with Deirdre and she suggested that it still would be good to<BR>try and 
get whatever we can for Sanders - even if it is older and<BR>on-site in nature 
(I agree with her). Go ahead and contact Chermain<BR>again and see what data we 
can find.<BR><BR>It would also be a good idea to try and collect data (soil, 
blood Pb<BR>etc) on other secondary smelters - it might be worth focusing on the 
one<BR>that we will likely be parameterizing TRIM for - if they had soil 
data,<BR>that would be a real bonus.<BR><BR>Zach<BR><BR>p.s., sorry for the semi 
sketchy notes on these contacts - I should have<BR>gotten better info on who 
they worked for (which divisions) - I was<BR>focusing on finding the data, but 
should have also kept an eye on<BR>getting good "association info" (who they 
worked for),<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>Zachary Pekar, Ph.D.<BR>Ambient Standards
