Okay. My cell is 919-606-6905 if you have any issues. I get in at 7 AM. Can we shoot for 9 AM in case I do not get
finished prepping today.

I would like to come as early as possible in order to get the kits to Fayetteville. Perhaps before lunch if possible.

Chris,
I am working to get this done today. Let me know when you will be available to come and get sample container
tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply, Mark.
I received word from the Wilmington RO and it looks like they will need 16 bottles to finish out their projected
sampling. I haven't heard from the Fayetteville office, but based on what we've received from then for the first
sampling event, I would think they need approximately 12 bottles to finish up. This is all based on the sampling being
done this week.
Given the tight time frame for next week's sampling, we will probably need to drive the sample kits down to Fayetteville
tomorrow afternoon if possible. I would also like to deliver the first set to you if we receive Wilmington's set in
time. Either way, if there is any way we can have the sample kits ready tomorrow I would have time to get them to the
samplers.
Thanks once again for your help on this project.

One change Chris. I had wishful thinking. I am actually working on Friday and am not off. I will be here.

I am off Friday but we could have them prepared for your visit to pick up. How many sample bottles do you need? We
typically replicate sample 10% of the samples and have a trip blank and a high and low trip spike as well.

It may be better if you could supply this material. Based on our conversation, the 1L bottles are preferable and we don't
carry that size. Can we pick them up when we bring the first delivery? We may be able to get over there on Friday if
that works with your schedules.

We could provide sample bottles if they are needed. In addition we have always included trip blanks and spikes with our
assays for QA/QC purposes. We should strongly consider doing so in any future sampling efforts.

Good morning. Wondering if you could clarify a question from the conference call yesterday. Will your laboratory be
providing sample bottles and preservative for future sampling events? Also, I see from your 2009 SOP that blanks and

spikes were mandated for the coolers. If you require those, will they be provided? We aren't able to make the spikes
since they can't be confirmed by analysis.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you all for making time for this discussion. I know that there is a lot of pressure to move quickly on this
project. ORD/NERL is happy to provide analytical support. To guide our involvement/effort, I am hoping that
collectively we can provide answers to the following questions.
1. What question are we attempting to address with this sampling effort?
2. What is the sampling design?
3. What is the status and timeline of the QAPP?
4. Given split sample analysis (contract lab and NERL lab), how will differences in reported concentrations be
managed?
5. What is the plan for communicating results and who has the lead?
6. What is the project timeline?
7. Do we need on -going coordination meetings?
