Items discussed:
1. Contaminants of Potential Concern Update • The report is still being finalized. • Refractory ceramic fibers have not given the COPC working group any reason for concern, therefore, it will be dropped from the COPC list.
2. Background Study Statement of Work • The current draft SOW went to the EPA contracts office and quotes are expected during the week of June 3"*. • Tenant release forms for access to their apartments are still an issue. - The Internal Review Board (IRB) may have concerns about the tenants giving “informed consent”. - ATSDR will email to the lAWG the language that was used for the ATSDR Study. - NYCDOH should have the consent form from the ATSDR Study that can be modified for the Background Study — The IRB process may take up to two weeks and is not expected to be a major hurdle.
Comments on the draft SOW are being addressed. - Commenter: PAH quantification limit not indicated in the SOW lAWG - Let the lab determine the practical quantification limit rather than alter the sample collection method.
