Re: Contaminated Scaffold Knuckles - Turkey Point

[Susan Gawarecki <loc@ICX.NET>]

Jerry,



I would like to have a copy of this report, if possible (or at least the

to the current scoping effort for the programmatic EIS on the

disposition of scrap metals, the deadline for which has been extended to

Nov. 9.



Regards,

Susan Gawarecki
