On October 12, 2010, there was a chemical co-located sampling community meeting to discuss the proposed chemical sampling that DOE will conduct in conjunction with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) radiological characterization survey. This meeting provided the community with information regarding the sampling work that will take place in Area IV of SSFL. It also allowed the community to discuss the selection of the laboratory to do the analysis of the samples.
