Young c LaShonda Marie Brenson 2016 All Rights Reserved In the loving memory of Ella Ruth Brenson ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of individuals and organizations, in one way or another, extended their assistance in the preparation and completion of this dissertation, and for that, I am forever grateful. Nonetheless, I would be remiss if I did not mention the follow- ing persons and organizations without whom this dissertation would not have been possible. First, I give all honor and glory to my savior, Jesus. Without Him, I am nothing. Thank you for believing in me and being with me every step of the way. Second, I would like to thank my late mother, Ella Ruth Brenson, for the sacrifices you made for my siblings and I, but above all, thank you for introducing me to the unconditional love of Jesus. Your unexpected death during graduate school gave me the strength to keep going. I love you more than you'll ever know. Next, I would like to thank my dissertation committee for their unwavering sup- port and advice throughout the dissertation process. Rick and Vince, thank you for being a dynamic dual. Both of your personalities, expertise, and mentoring styles fit this dissertation project perfectly.

St. Louis County also understands that the radium contamination is not anticipated from the known contaminants deposited in those landfills. The purpose of this correspondence is to stress St. Louis County's concerns about the source and extent of this radium contamination. St. Louis County recognizes that EPA VII is working with the environmental and health agencies of Missouri to try to resolve the radium presence. St. Louis County is also aware that the USGS is partnering with EPA Vll on the Westlake efforts. St. Louis County strongly encourages EPA VII to work with its partners to expeditiously determine the source and extent of the radium contamination as well as its acute and chronic health effects on the residents of St. Louis County, especially those in the immediate proximity of the two landfills. We also continue to have great concerns regarding the subsurface smoldering event at the landfill and the potential environmental and health impacts this event has created. 30244525 Superfunc My staff and I would appreciate a response and briefing about the efforts to date and planned efforts to alleviate our concerns.
