| All
participants have signed on to the
conference call. The representative for each
group express their particular concerns
about mercury in the environment of Ramford
County and the State. They are all pleased
that Flora will work on the plan and
introduce the Bill.
There is
discussion concerning how to present
evidence in the best possible way at the
hearing to insure the development of an
effective mercury pollution reduction plan.
Marion Quick-Silver is worried that the
non-scientists in CREATE might not present
the technical information in the strongest
light. H.G. Hermes expresses concern that
all the economic impacts be mentioned and
considered in the plan. George Sweetwater
and Gill Netter recount their satisfaction
with the environmental consulting firms that
handled the PCB informational debates in the
last election. The group agrees that the
companies that presented information
"for" and "against" the
dredging of the Ramford River were both well
prepared, thorough, and organized.
A consensus
is reached to engage the services of one of
the consulting companies that participated
in the PCB debates to present information on
mercury contamination in general with
particular emphasis on Ramford County.
George Sweetwater volunteers to contact the
environmental firm.
