Looks like Aug 26 or Aug 30 would be preferable, with Aug 18 a possibility. DWQ staff would include Jeff Poupart (Point Source Branch), Sergei Chernikov and myself (NPDES), Connie Brower and Sandra Moore (Standards), and Belinda Henson (Fayetteville Regional office).

It has been a long time since we have talked. I see you are the supervisor of the NPDES Permitting Unit, so congratulations on that new position. The DuPont Company would like to have a meeting with NCDENR to discuss how the company is progressing on its goal to cease manufacturing PFOA at the Fayetteville Works site by 2015, and to discuss the PFOA replacement compound that is being produced at the Fayetteville Works site. The two divisions with the greatest interest in these topics would be DWQ because of (1) the current activity of the NC Science Advisory Board to propose a permanent 2L standard for PFOA, (2) the DuPont - Fayetteville Works' current monitoring requirement for PFOA on our NPDES Permit, and (3) general interest in the toxicology of the replacement compound; and the Division of Waste Management ("DWM") because of (1) the current groundwater monitoring program for PFOA and (2) general interest in the toxicology of the replacement compound. 0) 4, a .1 1, . Therefore, I am attempting to schedule a joint metting Uith DuPont, DWQ, and DWM at a mutually convenient date, time, and location in Raleigh. From the DWQ standpoint, I would think personnel from the NPDES unit would be appropriate because of the potential permitting subject matter, and personnel dealing with toxicology (Connie Brower and/or Sandra Moore) would be appropriate because of the 2L rule. Obviously this meeting would be open to anyone in DWQ that would have interest in these topics, such as Coleen Sullins. The dates when the DuPont personnel are available are: August 13 August 18 August 20 August 26 August 27 August 30 Please let me know which of the above dates (and times) that would be convenient for DWQ, and I will work with DWM to pin down a date, time, and location. Also give me an idea of the number of DWQ personnel to expect to help with the meeting room. Thanks for your assistance. Mike Michael E.
