Re: Contaminated Scaffold Knuckles - Turkey Point



Jerry,



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

reference and executive summary).  It sounds as if it would be relevant

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
