1 DR. KRAEUTER: Mixing in sediments, you are talking about? 



2 DR. GRASSLE: But what does that--if there is more mixing there is 



3 less accumulation, is that what you are saying? 



4 DR. BOTHNER: No. 



5 DR. GRASSLE: I mean, how would it come out as a "yes?" 



6 DR. MACIOLEK: It is not coming out as a "yes." 



7 DR. GRASSLE: It should not come out as a yes. I think maybe we 



8 ought to just strike it, because if part "C" refers this to a slope 



9 environment, there is really no difference in that regard, based on what 



10 little data we have. 



11 I think we should strike it. 



12 DR. BOTHNER: Somewhere in this document we ought to indicate that 



13 that is an important process when we are dealing with the introduction 



14 of contaminants in these offshore sediments. 



15 DR. GRASSLE: Can you add that in somewhere? 



16 DR. TEAL: Put it in your paragraph--in your little write-up? 



17 DR. GRASSLE: That is a good idea. 



18 DR. MACIOLEK: Okay. So for item "C" we have stricken lines "E," 



19 "G" and "H" from the list and we have added a "yes" for trace metals and 



20 a "yes" and "no" for the hydrocarbon concentrations, as we have been 



21 discussing. 



22 Okay, item "D" on page 8? 



23 DR. KRAEUTER: Just a point on that. The next sentence says, 



24 "Bothner's research source for the first five data categories"--and we 



25 have just changed the first four--certainly not for the 



26 hydrocarbons--just so they can make a note of it so that the sentences 



27 that follow refer to the changed document. 



28 DR. MACIOLEK: Right. Yes, that sentence needs--Okay, item 



29 "D"--if you read that, not only the little statement at the top, but the 



30 whole paragraph, it concludes with, "The statement was eventually 



31 stricken from the list." 



32 DR. BOTHNER: That is right. This document should be so amended. 



33 DR. TEAL: Right--"E" should be "F." 



34 DR. MACIOLEK: So all of "D" comes out?
