1 DR. GRASSLE: Which one are you on now? 



2 DR. VALENTINE: We are on Mike's. 



3 MR. VILD: Yes, trapping would be good. 



4 DR. GRASSLE: What line of Mike's is this? 



5 MR. VILD: Oh, I am sorry. My only comment, if that is what you 



6 are referring to, is the word "scavenging." It is not really defined. 



7 Mike suggested that we change "scavenging" to "trapping." 



8 DR. GRASSLE: I am asking which document? 



9 MR. VILD: This is on sediment resuspension and potential for 



10 pollutant scavenging. 



11 DR. BOTHNER: Actually, as I review this, I inserted some 



12 sentences that talked about sediment traps. That makes that word not so 



13 good, the word "trapping." 



14 DR. GRASSLE: Can we include scavenging by particles? Would that 



15 be clear? 



16 MR. VILD: Well, I guess this is the problem because, as I just 



17 mentioned to Mike, it is not readily apparent, number one, what is being 



18 scavenged and, number two, who is doing the scavenging. 



19 If you talk about particles scavenging-- 



20 DR. GRASSLE: It is pollutants that are being scavenged and 



21 particles that are doing it. 



22 MR. VILD: Right. 



23 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



24 MR. VILD: Yes, if you could just have a modifier. Scavenging is 



25 a nice, colorful word and everything, but I think the lay person has a 



26 different idea of what scavenging is. 



27 DR. GRASSLE: The trouble is that it-- 



28 MR. VILD: You have an animal doing something, you know, and that 



29 is not really the case. 



30 DR. BOTHNER: How about sediment resuspension and the potential 



31 for pollutant adsorption by particles? 



32 DR. GRASSLE: Yes. 



33 DR. BOTHNER: Do you like that better?
