For your further infonnation, A&S Transportation Co. is probably the largest 

 independent marine transportation firm engaged in tMs particular type of an 

 operation in the United States. Vie have been in business for over forty 

 years and have a present fleet carrying capacity in excess of 30,000 tons. 



Based upon our experience, with this present barging fleet, we could transport 

 between 3,250,000 to 3,750,000 tons of sewage sludge per year to the 106 mile 

 duiip site. Additionally, if long term contracts were available, we -would 

 inmediately be willing to double the carrying capacity of our fleet and could 

 expect to acccaiplish this within a twenty- four to thirty-six month period. 



We trust the above infonnaticn meets with your requirements and should you have 

 any further questions in this regard, please feel free to contact the 

 undersigned. 



Very trvily yours,
