Document Summary: 
This letter from Jerald M. Reichlin of the law firm Fortier & Mikko, P.C. to Jeff Brownlee of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation raises questions around the findings of the USACE's testing of contaminants of the Northeast Cape area. The finding that the contaminants found in the site area are deemed "biogenic in origin" is called into question and raises some serious doubts as to the throughness and quality of the measurements, protocols, and overall science done to measure contamination.
