Approval of Minutes 
 
The date of the Meeting Minutes should be November 29th not
November 12th.  This was corrected and the minutes were approved
as amended. 
 
Permitting Activities 
 
Hopkins said that there were no permitting activities this month. 
He said, however, that the consent decree parties had been
meeting regularly and they had several fruitful meetings.  The
subject of the meetings is sensitive and he had rather not
discuss the meetings.  Hopkins said that when the consent decree
parties had something to share with the public, there would be
ample opportunity for public involvement. 
 
Porter asked why the parties were meeting. 
 
Hopkins said because the permitting process had slowed and that
the sites still needed to be remediated, the consent decree
parties are meeting to discuss what can be done. 
 
List wanted to know if they are going to have a press release on
Thursday. 
 
Hopkins said that the parties were not that close to making a
decision. 
 
Remedial Activities 
 
Hopkins said that the excavation work at the ABB Plant was
completed.  He said that the only area that has not been
addressed is the Water Tower Area.      
  
New Business
