I would strongly encourage you to seek written views from 

 NOAA and EPA in the near future on the relative merits of selecting 

 an alternative deepwater site for sewage sludge versus commingling 

 (even at opposite corners) within the 106-Mile Site ocean-dumped 

 sludge and industrial wastes. For your convenience, I enclose a 

 set of possible questions (Attachment III) which you may wish to 

 consider posing to NOAA and EPA in this regard. 



Thank you for your consideration of this request and for 

 your diligent and continuing efforts to safeguard the marine 

 environment so vital to us all. 



. Sincerely, /" . 



Kenneth S. Kamlet, Director 

 Pollution and Toxic Substances 

 Division
