Dear
Mr.
Ken
Wood,

Thank
you
coordinating
the
response
to
the
questions
that
I
have
prepared
for
you.
Below
are
the
lists
of
the
questions
that
I
have
for
the
Edge
Moor
and
New
Johnsonville
facilities.
I
would
like
you
to
explain
the
procedure
that
was
used
to
estimate
the
amount
of
chemical
that
was
reported
released.

If
you
need
any
additional
information
I
can
be
reached
by
e­
mail
or
at

Thank
you
for
your
