"IN VIEW 0F TE IMPORTANCE OF SEAFOOD IN TF2 HUMAN DIET. A CAREFULL ASSESSMENT MUST EE MADE OF TE CONTRIBUTION OF AQUATIC PATHWAY TO TE POTULATION DOSE. PECAUSE SHELLFISH HAVE TE ABILITY TO SEIECTIVELY CONCENT?

DISCUSSION DUE TO THE EXTREE UNCERTAINTY OF TE SOIL STRATA IN AN AREA AS LARGE AS THAT WHICH THE CCOLING FOND COVERS, AND "'E PROEABILITY THAT THERE ARE NUMERCUS ECCKETS OF SAND, SUCH AS QUICKSAND, IT IS CEAR THAT THERE IS A P'10BABIUTY, AI140ST A CERTAIhTY, THAT THE WATER IN THE COOLING LAKE WILL NOT EE CONTAINED BUT WILL EE T AAVN DC'4N IhTO THE LOWER STRATAS FASTER THAN CAN EE MADE UP BY WMPING FROM THE COLORADO RIVER, GIVEN THE PRESEhTLY CAICULATED FI4"4 AS PERMITTED BY APPLICAhTS PERMIT.
