Dear Mr. Sierra:
On behalf of American Truetzschler, Inc. (ATI), Cooper Environmental Inc. (CEI)

dissolved and total zinc. Upon receipt of satisfactory results the system will be tested
for Chronic Toxicity. ATI will not discharge more than deminimus quantities to the
surface until a chronic toxicity test has passed the 90 percent concentration. Upon a
pass chronic toxicity test ATI will begin running the system continuously. If you have
