Ms. Schell,
Have the proposed contractors been notified about the presence of unknown illegal toxic wastes onsite?
Has the matte been fully analyzed for all potential hazardous metals including actinides? Why/why not?

Response from Elizabeth Schell:
Dear Ms. McMurray,
Thanks you for your continued interest in this project.
Both of our contractors for the project, Malcolm-Pirnie and ERM, are fully briefed on all information about the site processes, both legal and illegal. As a matter of fact, Malcolm-Pirnie has prepared a comprehensive report on the legal and illegal processes that occurred at the site; it is very thorough and includes a discussion of every document found about the Encycle materials brought to the site. You can find the report at:
