Hi Ken,

Michelle Olson will do the HW review. I am not sure if this is the latest format so both of you will have to go find the guidance for no longer contains. Zeb Bates can assist Michelle if needed. Thanks.

Subject: DEQ approval of RCRA waste disposal

Audrey,

I have been requested to evaluate drill cuttings characterization data for 17 drums to approve for disposal. I do this only every couple of years, so am fuzzy on details. I previously worked with Jay Collins on this. I have not met his Haz. Waste Inspector replacement.

The attached letter from 2020 is my proposed model for the current request (and is for the same site). Is this still a good choice?

Thank you,

Ken
