memo issue resolution - 35th Avenuq Birmingham, Alabama,docx

Dictated by David Byrne:

Lance,

Thank you for sending us a copy of your comments to the propoBed NPI listing of the 35th Avenue Superfund Site in
Birmingham, Alabama, and requesting our input or suggestions. Carrie Mccollum and I have carefully reviewed your
letter received on December 23, 2014 (znd draft), and respectfully suggest that you send the attached letter which makes
very minor changes to your original thoughts with the exception that it places the Regional Administrator for Region 4
on notice that we intend to preserve our rights to invoke the EPA'S proc€ss under the Fields Memorandum. Carrie and I
have also drafted a proposed letter foryour signature apart from the comment letter invoking those rights.

that it will "not do any good", but if we do not trigger the right of appeal under the
Lance, you are probably correct
Fields Memorandum, EPA will assert a waiver against the State. ln short, our purpose of going through that exercise is
to ensure that we have "a complete administrative record" for app€al of the ultimate issue.

By undertakinE this action, we ensure that EPA Headquarters in Washington has to not only follow the process set forth
in the Fields Memorandum, but also to lay out more fully the rustification for the listing. ln the draft of the letter for
your si6nature invoking the appellate process, the actual findings of these studies support your conclusion that "science"
does not support the listing.

We look fomrard to meeting with you and Vernon Barnett with the Chief of Staff on Thursday, January 8, 2015. Thank
you for your patience and indulgence.

David Byrne
