FEBRUARY 2004 ACTION TEAM MEETING

This conference call was held to discuss the Sediments Remediation Action Team meeting that is scheduled to take place in Baltimore, Maryland, in February 2004. Madalinski and Davis decided that the following should be done to move forward with developing the meeting agenda:

• Madalinski agreed to develop the next draft of the agenda by November 21, 2003. That draft will list speakers and discussion times and indicate which presenters are definitely signed on to speak and which are still being considered.
  
  
• Davis will contact Danny Reible, Kevin Garner, and Jeff Talley to confirm their participation as speakers.
  
  
• Madalinski will continue to communicate with Dick Luthy to find out whether he is willing to participate as a speaker.
  
  
• Madalinski will communicate with Clay Patmont to learn more about his recent work and to determine whether he is interested in participating as a speaker.
  
  
• Madalinski will send Action Team members information about a project that Craig Zellers is working on in South Carolina.
  
  
• Madalinski and Davis agreed to think more about the format for panel discussions. They agreed that panel discussions should be held on:
  
  
  • ElectroChemical GeoOxidation. Madalinski said that Tommy Meyers, Ken Wittle, and Dave Nakles have all agreed to present information on a project that is being performed in Duluth, Minnesota. Davis agreed to contact Nakles to ask him what role he is playing in the project. Once this is determined, the Action Team leaders will decide how many speakers should be included on the panel and how much time should be allotted to each.
    
    
  • A Limnofix technology. Madalinski said that Nancy Grosso is trying to identify appropriate people for this panel.
    
    
  • Madalinski will find out whether Grosso and Dennis Timberlake are available to participate in a conference call on November 24, 2003. If so, Madalinski will set up a conference call for the Action Team leadership. The purpose of the call will be to come to consensus on the agenda for the February 2004 Action Team meeting.
