Dear Mr. Eisenhut:
On August 10, 1983 you responded to my Aug.
8, 1983 request for information regarding the review group formed to consider the concerns of Mr. Ross Landsman.
On Aug. 11, 1983 during a public meeting on the Construction Completion Plan (CCP) you indicated that a review of the NRR Engineering Division had indicated no support or agreement with Mr. Landsman.
Mrs. Barbara Stamiris, the Citizen Intervenor on the soils settlement ("OM") proceedings inquired specifically about Mr. Joe Kane of your office and a consultant, Dr. Sing, of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
You indicated that you were nct aware of whether or-not those individuals had been asked or not.
Please inform Mrs. Stamiris and myself of the answer to that question.
More specifically, it is our clear understanding that several members of the Engineering Staff in both the Region and in headquarters had very strong feelings about the approval of the DGB resolution.
We expect your technical review to_ include the past concerns of both Regional and headquarters engineers. 'Furthermore, since the concerns about this issue and its resolution are of interest to Congress, the local intervenors and GAP we respectfully request that your office issue an Interim report, allow time for review and comment by the public, and hold at least one open meeting prior to the issurance of the final report on this subject.
A final concern we wish to raise with your office deals with the background of the individuals you have nominated to ' complete the review of Dr. Landsman's concerns.
All of the people selected are structural engineers.
Dr. Landsmanlof course, is a geo-technical engineer.
Clearly, any review team should contain professional representation from Dr. Landsman's discipline, and suggest that you appoint an independent geo-technical consultant to review the work of your engineers.
Finally, we concur with Mr. Robert Warnicks suggestion contained in his July 21, 1983 memo to you that "all related correspondence and the resulting report (s) and documentation should be placed in the public document room and distribution list. "
