Document Title: Email from Jeff Chiarenzelli to Carey Cossaboom Re: Testing of Spilled Hydrocarbons
Agency/Organization: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Document Summary: 
This email from Jeff Chiarenzelli raises concerns around contamination found at the site being labeled of "biogenic origin" based on the samples collected and analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons in the Northeast Cape Phase IV Remedial Investigation report. Jeff asks for reassessment of the origin of the hydrocarbons and explains that defining hydrocarbons of biogenic origin or petrogenic origin will determine how characterization and cleanup of the site will proceed.
