Dear Mr. Taylor:

DEHNR
I enjoyed talking with your about your club's deer hunting interest in Warren County. I will
attempt to respond to your concerns with respect to the potential affect of the Warren County
PCB Landfill on the deer population in the vicini'ty ofthe landfill. In addition, you should be
aware that a group of citizens from Warren County, grass roots environmental representative and
State personnel are members of a Joint Warren County State PCB Landfill Working Group that
is currently working together to detoxify the landfill. This Working Group will be made aware
of your concerns.
It is the State's perspective that the Warren County Landfill is a secure facility that is not
releasing contamination to the environment. The containment systems including the surface cap
and chain link fence around the landfill are sufficient to preclude any exposure of contaminants
to deer population in the area. Deer in the area may be consumed by the public without concerns
that body burdens of any contamination result from the PCB Landfill.
If the hunting club would like a more formal presentation of data and/or a site visit to the PCB
Landfill, please let me know and I will arrange them for you. If l can be of further assistance,
please contact me at [phone].
Sin,rely, .
