Dear Mr. Cahill:
SUBJECT:
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW 0F THE RIVER BEND SITE This is to formally advise you of our intent to conduct an environmental review of the River Bend Site, comencing at 9:00 AM on Tuesday, January 19, 1982, concluding on Friday, January 22, 1 982. The questions that will be raised by our Environmental Engineering and Site Analysis representatives during the review, as' well as the specific site features we wish to observe, were informally telecommunicated to Mr. E. reant on December 31,1981, and are reiterated in Attachments (1) and (2), respectively. In addition, our Hydrologic and Geotechnical staff representatives plan to discuss the seulement monitoring program. It is cordially reque,ted that Gulf States be prepared to respond to the questions to be raised, and that all necessary and required transportation modes be arranged for and scheduled to enable the site features identified to be observed.
We are in the process of contacting the following federal, state, and local agencies, requesting their participation in the review, and if possible, will attempt to identify to you individuals from those agencies who plan to participate, prior to the review start date:
Federal:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency - Rc3 on VI. Dallas 1
