I have been in touch with the ORNL librarian, who has also contacted an EPA librarian, but neither has been able to locate these documents.

Since they were sent to EPA for verification, I hope that these documents can be obtained. Thank you, Daniel Reddy

33 in which U.S. EPA stated that “In 1978, the U.S. Department of Energy conducted an aerial radiological survey of the Niagara Falls region and found more than 15 properties having elevated levels of radiation above background levels. It is believed that, in the early 1960s, slag from the Union Carbide facility located on 47th Street in Niagara Falls was used as fill on the properties prior to paving. The Union Carbide facility processed ore containing naturally-occurring high levels of uranium and thorium to extract niobium. The slag contained sufficient quantities of uranium and thorium to be classified as a licensable radioactive source material. Union Carbide subsequently obtained a license from the Atomic Energy Commission, now the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the State of New York; however, the slag had been used as fill throughout the Niagara Falls region prior to licensing. Based on the original survey and subsequent investigations, it is believed that the radioactive Union Carbide slag was deposited on the NFB site.” (2) All documents, including reports, surveys, memoranda, correspondence, samples or data, in U.S. EPA’s possession related to any investigation, remediation, or removal activities relating to the presence of thorium, uranium or other radionuclide material located at, on or under the Holy Trinity Cemetery property, 5401 Roberts Avenue, L

Moreover, the requested documents were not drafted to assist the EPA in its decision-making process, but instead were drafted by a state agency to fulfil its obligations with respect to an informal resolution agreement with the EPA. Because the informal resolution agreement concluded the EPA’s investigation and decision-making process, and because the GDA prepared the documents to create state procedures, rather than to assist the EPA in policymaking, the requested documents are not protected by the deliberative process privilege. All documents can be provided to us electronically either on CD-Rom or by email to [email protected].

These two organizations came to the EPA with their findings and the EPA went to VW. Therefore, I am also requesting the initial communications from WVA and CARB to the EPA regarding questions about VW's diesel emissions. These should also have taken place in May 2014. This request is being made pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.§ 552) for articles that will be made available to the public via my website AutoblogGreen as well as potentially other means.

Due to the massive coal ash spill at the Tennessee Valley Authority - Kingston Fossil Plant (“Kingston Plant”) on December 22, 2008, we recognize that EPA likely possesses a substantial number of records generally relating to the Kingston Plant and coal ash. To be clear, we are not seeking records related to that spill and its subsequent clean-up. Rather, we are only requesting records related to the Peninsula Landfill and any specific cell or phase of the Peninsula Landfill, including Phase 1A, Phase 1B or Phase 2, which obtained a state solid waste permit in 2007 and a major modification in 2015.

Because the specified categories of requested documents is extensive, the entire FOIA request is included in the attached document. The scope of this FOIA request is broad and should be interpreted to cover all of EPA offices nationally, including, without limitation, EPA Headquarters, EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality (“EOTAQ”), any EPA Regional office, and EPA’s National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (“NVFEL”). It also is intended to request any responsive documents that are otherwise in the possession or control of any EPA officials, employees, consultants, or agents. This request is time sensitive. For that reason, please produce responsive, non-privileged documents as soon as they are available rather than waiting until all the responsive documents have been collected. I have included a copying charge limit of $3,000 but that is not a firm cap. I would request, however, that EPA contact me if copying charges are expected to exceed that amount before those charges are incurred.
