I say go with what we agreed to on the phone, if DOH has agreed to having the cars tarp'd when taken away from Fresh Kills, that seems to satisfy Mike's/Krish’e concern, Gabe has indicated that decon at Fresh.j<ills has already been considered and rejected by OTCdoh. doh has the’lesd on this and I for one don't have the time to second-guess them.

Mike - do you agree? if so, please advlsf? Judah and Judah should oeu Gabe know we are signed off with the tarp requirement.
