Opening
Remarks
The
Honorable
Frederick
Kalisz
 
Mayor,
City
of
New
Bedford,
welcomed
the
Subcommittee
to
New
Bedford
and
provided
opening
remarks.
He
presented
slides
summarizing
the
key
accomplishments
of
the
cleanup
activities
conducted
in
New
Bedford.

Introduction
of
the
Draft
Subcommittee
Report
Ray
Loehr
explained
the
history
and
nature
of
the
"
June
2003
draft
report".
The
key
topics
he
addressed
included
the
following:

The
drafting
process
built
off
of
the
white
papers
and
other
documents
developed
by
work
groups.
Work
group
material
was
synthesized
into
the
"
June
2003
draft
report"
that
was
to
be
discussed.

The
audience
for
the
report
includes:
USEPA,
interested
and
affected
parties,
site
and
program­
wide
stakeholders,
state
agencies,
Congress,
and
knowledgeable
members
of
the
public.
The
assumption
is
that
the
audience
will
be
knowledgeable
of
Superfund
issues
to
varying
degrees.

The
"
June
2003"
draft
does
not
represent
final
statements,
recommendations,
or
conclusions
of
the
Subcommittee
or
any
of
the
members.

The
report
will
not
be
final
until
December.

Considerable
changes
are
expected
between
now
and
the
next
draft.

Considerable
and
possibly
heated
discussion
is
expected
during
this
meeting
to
address
areas
of
disagreement.

One
of
the
goals
of
this
meeting
is
to
separate
the
relevant
from
the
interesting
and
to
identify
explicit
changes
and
suggestions
for
the
next
draft.

The
next
draft
needs
(
1)
more
focus
on
the
hard
questions;
(
2)
clearer
conclusions,
findings,
statements
and
recommendations;
(
3)
more
focus
on
the
Charge
and
(
4)
clear
articulation
of
differences
of
opinion.

The
Chairman
emphasized
the
fact
that
during
this
meeting,
the
staff
would
be
looking
for
a
variety
of
types
of
comments,
including:

Editorial
(
typos,
re­
wording)

Organizational

Clarifications
and
definitions

Conclusions,
findings,
recommendations

Disagreement,
no
consensus
He
further
explained
that
the
core
components
of
the
Final
Report
were
expected
to
include:
1.
Executive
Summary
2.
Body
of
the
report
(
key
findings,
statements,
recommendations,
logic
framework,
differences
of
opinion)
3.

work
documents,
background
documents,

Finally,
the
chair
emphasized
the
fact
that
there
would
be
additional
opportunities
to
polish
and
finalize
the
report
in
the
future.
The
schedule
would
be
discussed
later
in
the
meeting.

John
Ehrmann
explained
the
focus
of
the
review
of
the
"
June
2003
draft
report"
at
this
point
in
process
and
explained
how
the
agenda
was
organized
to
discuss
and
revise
the
"
June
2003
draft
report".

Group
Discussion
of
Draft
Report
The
bulk
of
the
meeting
was
focused
on
discussing
the
Subcommittee's
comments
on
the
"
June
2003
draft
report",
deliberating
over
the
issues
and
developing
consensus
where
possible
on
the
recommendations.
The
key
issues
raised
addressed
(
1)
comments
on
the
introduction
and
organization
of
the
report;
(
2)
comments
on
the
substance
of
the
recommendations;
and
(
3)
new
ideas
for
consideration
(
not
already
included
in
the
report.)
The
details
of
all
the

Miscellaneous
Business
Wilma
Subra
and
Angelo
Carasea
reported
on
the
briefing
they
provided
at
the
meeting
of
the
full
NACEPT
Council.
Some
members
of
the
Council
have
expressed
concern
that
the
scope
of
the
Subcommittee
is
too
narrow.
Some
members
felt
that
the
Subcommittee
should
consider
the
cost/
benefit
analysis
issues
associated
with
Superfund.
The
Council
agreed
that
a
representative
would
raise
these
issues
with
Assistant
Deputy
Administrator
Horinko.
The
Council
would
like
to
comment
on
the
draft
report
of
the
Superfund
Subcommittee
at
the
Council's
meeting
in
late
September.
Therefore,
the
draft
available
at
the
Subcommittee's
meeting
in
September
will
likely
be
the
version
they
will
review.

Public
Comment
Members
of
the
public
were
invited
to
comment
on
their
perspectives
and
concerns
regarding
Superfund
and

work
of

moderated
the
Environmental

presentations
and
lead
an
interactive

Dolores

provided
a

an
overview
of
Environmental
Justice
issues
and
introduced
the
panel
members.
After
presentations
from
each
of
the
panel
members,
an
interactive
discussion
was
facilitated
among
the
panel
members.
The
session
concluded
with
a
question
and
answer
period
for
the
Subcommittee
members.
Some
of
the
topics
addressed
in
the
presentations
and
discussion
included
the
following:

The
Subcommittee
should
be
targeting
"
out
of
the
box"
recommendations.
Look
for
creative
and
innovative
solutions.

There
is
a
lack
of
grass
roots
representatives
and
diverse
perspectives
from
people
of
color
communities
on
the
Subcommittee.

A
lot
of
the
environmental
justice
issues
we
are
dealing
with
today
come
from
the
fact
that
the
siting
of
many
of
these
facilities
(
that
are
now
on
the
NPL)
came
at
a
time
when
African
Americans
had
no
voice
in
the
democratic
process.

Early
community
involvement
is
critical
to
an
effective
program,
effective
cleanup
of
sites
and
community
satisfaction
with
the
cleanup.

There
is
a
difference
between
the
term
"
community"
and
"
near
neighbor".
It
is
a
matter
of
degree
 
the
neighborhood
that
has
born
the
impact
of
the
site
is
in
a
different
category.
NACEPT
Superfund
Subcommittee
June
17­
18,
2003
Meeting
Summary
Developed
by
Meridian
Institute

Superfund
creates
the
opportunity
for
TAG
grants.
Strengthen
this
tool
to
include
factors
like
redevelopment
so
that
communities
can
be
fully
informed.

There
are
gentrification
and
displacement
issues
that
we
should
be
considering.
What
we
are
seeing
is
that
the
more
you
devolve
Superfund
from
the
national
level
to
the
states,
the
more
the
EJ
communities
are
being
devolved.
This
is
an
unintended
consequence
identified
by
a
work
group
on
the
National
Environmental
Justice
Advisory
Council
(
NEJAC).

Something
must
be
done
about
transaction
costs
associated
with
Superfund.
These
funds
should
be
going
into
the
cleanup
of
communities.
We
should
be
willing
to
put
"
polluter
pays"
on
the
table
in
exchange
for
reducing
transaction
costs.

Don't
let
Superfund
die.
Strengthen
it.
Fund
it
and
if
it's
broken,
then
fix
it,
but
the
devolution
of
authority
isn't
the
way
to
fix
it.

In
your
report,
have
some
language
that
shows
some
heart.
Have
some
soul
so
that
people
understand
that
there
was
real
involvement
and
understanding.
(
that
may
come
in
the
cover
letter
too)

Regarding
the
nature
of
community
involvement,
we
need
to
provide
communities
the
resources
they
need
to
be
able
to
understand
the
issues
necessary
to
be
able
to
participate
actively.

We
use
the
term
"
risk"
in
terms
of
the
chances
of
creating
human
health
impacts,
but
risk
has
not
predicted
the
illnesses
that
have
developed
in
these
communities.
We
are
using
a
faulty
tool.

It
would
be
helpful
to
see
a
list
of
alternatives
to
Superfund
that
EJ
communities
could
consider
taking
advantage
of.

Adequate
health
care
is
a
critical
element
that
is
missing
for
these
impacted
communities.

In
EJ
communities,
homeownership
is
a
critical
step
in
a
family's
evolution.
Many
Superfund
sites
involving
EJ
communities
have
families
that
would
have
to
go
back
to
public
housing
if
they
are
relocated.

Impacts
on
property
values
to
the
homes
adjacent
to
sites
should
be
considered.

The
panel
was
invited
to
comment
in
writing
on
the
"
June
2003
draft
report"
and
the
draft
HRS
work
group
document
to
help
the
Subcommittee
integrate
the
panel
members'
ideas
into
the

decision
making.

Superfund
Subcommittee
June

2003
Meeting
The
Superfund
Subcommittee
of
the
National
Advisory
Council
for
Environmental
Policy
and
Technology
(
NACEPT)
was
established
in
June
2002
for
the
purpose
of
assisting
EPA
in
identifying
the
future
direction
of
the
Superfund
Program
in
the
context
of
other
federal
and
state
waste
and
site
cleanup
programs.
Specifically,
the
Subcommittee
will
review
the
relevant
documentation
and,
to
the
extent
possible,
provide
answers
to
questions
that
relate
to:
a)
the
role
of
the
NPL,
b)
mega
sites,
and
c)
measuring
program
performance.
The
Subcommittee
will
operate
as,
and
be
subject
to,
the
requirements
of
a
Federal
Advisory
Committee.

Membership
on
the
committee
represents
a
diversity
of
interests.
Subcommittee
members
include
senior­
level
decision­
makers
and
experts
from:
academia,
business
and
industry,
community
and
environmental
advocacy
groups,
state,
local
and
tribal
governments,
environmental
justice,
and
non­
governmental
and
professional
organizations.
Dr.
Raymond
Loehr,
Professor
of
Civil
Engineering
at
the
University
of
Texas
in
Austin,
is
the
chair
of
the
Subcommittee.

The
Subcommittee
is
working
to
accomplish
its
Charge
through
quarterly
Subcommittee
meetings
and
interim
Work
Group
meetings
over
about
an
18­
month
period.
It
is
anticipated
that
one
or
a
series
of
consensus
reports
will
result
from
the
Subcommittee
deliberations.
However,
where
consensus
cannot
be
reached,
a
written
discussion
of
the
views
of
Subcommittee
members
is
to
be
provided.
As
appropriate,
the
Subcommittee
may
also
respond
to
issues
in
the
form
of
"
consultation,"
i.
e.,
dialogue,
rather
than
a
formal
written
report.

Interactive
discussion
and
questioning
for
the
purpose
of
probing
an
issue
and
clarifying
a
point
will
be
encouraged.
As
such,
any
material
developed
by
a
Subcommittee
member(
s),
any
presentations
by
a
Subcommittee
member(
s),
or
comments
made
by
Subcommittee
Members
at
this
and
future
meetings
should
neither
be
interpreted
to
reflect
their
current
Subcommittee
position
on
the
subject
under
discussion,
nor
their
future
position
as
it
may
evolve
over
the
course
of
deliberation.
Additionally,
the
comments
of
an
individual
Subcommittee
Member
should
not
be
interpreted
as
positions
of
the
EPA.
The
Subcommittee
will
deliberate
thoroughly
before
developing
consensus
findings,
conclusions
or
recommendations.
Any
report
on
the
opinion
of
the
group
will
undergo
rigorous
review
by
all
Subcommittee
Members
before
it
is
considered
final
and
transmitted
to
EPA.
