  • January 28, 2015 Ms. Frances Kelley Director of Organizing Louisiana
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION 6 1445 ROSS AVENUE, SUITE 1200 DALLAS, TEXAS 75202 – 2733 Office of the Regional Administrator January 28, 2015 Ms. Frances Kelley Director of Organizing Louisiana Progress Action 935 Linden Street Shreveport, Louisiana 71104 Dear Ms. Kelley: Thank you for your January 26 letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. I am responding on behalf of the EPA. The safety of the public is and has always been the most important consideration. The EPA continues to work closely with the Louisiana National Guard and State Police, who have control of the site, to assure the safety of the public. We recognize that legal negotiations that led to the current remedy approach and to the Administrative Settlement Agreement between the Louisiana National Guard, Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, EPA and Department of Army could not provide the opportunity for public comment. The 90-day extension we granted provides an opportunity to increase public involvement, to consider alternatives and to expeditiously assure materials at Camp Minden are disposed in a manner that protects public safety, health, and the environment. While we wholeheartedly agree on finding ways to increase involvement as we move forward, the issues raised in your letter are the types of issues that should be discussed over the upcoming days as the potential for alternative options is reviewed. We support establishing a Dialogue Committee made up of citizens, officials and external scientists as well as representatives from the EPA, LDEQ, Louisiana National Guard and the Department of Army. The Committee could be asked to review alternatives as expeditiously as possible.
