01/10/2013 email to Roger Rayle from Farsad Fotouhi

Roger - Happy New Year. I hope you had a great holiday. I know we have not

communicated for a while. I thought it would be good for you and I to be

communications more often.

I know you have various concerns, and I would like to be able to address at

least some of them.. I believe the most immediate matter that you are concerned

about is the lack of data. Would you please let me know what data you are

missing from your files. The other concern you have is related to accuracy of

the data when the historical data transferred from the old database to the new

database.

So, would you please send me an email with some of your concerns. I hope this

helps us to resolve some of issues you have with the remediation.

Thank you.

Farsad--

A good first step would be for you to restore the DEQ's online, read-only access to your dioxane & bromate sampling, static water level, and well log database so the public can see how Pall's dioxane (& bromate) is affecting our Waters of the State. This would include a full description of all fields/schema in the database, including explanation of all codes used, and data update/data reporting/data quality control/quality assurance procedures is use.

The DEQ should be able to download a selected set of data in an industry-standard format (Excel, csv, tab-delimited, etc) in one export and not have to append several batches to get complete results.

I'd be willing to compare the exported data with the data from the old database once again to see where the data is still missing or changed so you can explain why data is missing or changed... and tell us which results are valid. Right now anyone doing analysis on the data cannot trust which dataset to use.

If Pall could show that it can handle data collection, conversion and reporting in an open, competent manner, that would help restore confidence that it can do a protective, effective and community-acceptable cleanup.

Then we all can sit down and discuss other issues.
