MEMORANDUM

TO: All EPA, State and Local UST Regulatory Staff

FROM: Curt D. Johnson, Chair of NWGLDE

RE: Next Meeting of the National Work Group on Leak Detection Evaluations

(NWGLDE)

Westin Hotel Boston Waterfront

Boston, Massachusetts

September 22 - 24, 2010

The National Work Group on Leak Detection Evaluations (NWGLDE) would like to invite all Interested EPA, state and local UST regulators to attend our next meeting of the NWGLDE to be held at the Westin Hotel Boston Waterfront. The meeting will begin at 1:00 pm Wednesday September 22, 2010 and end at 12:00 noon on Friday September 24, 2010. For details of the meeting, see the attached agenda.

This is a great opportunity to learn about the latest developments in the area of UST leak detection. You are welcome to attend any portion or all of the meeting. I would highly recommend attending the Wednesday afternoon session from 1:45 pm until 6:00 pm. During this portion of the meeting, vendors and/or evaluators are given the opportunity to make presentations to the work group. This is a most interesting and informative portion of the meeting. Although there are no vendors or evaluators listed at this time, by the time the meeting begins, the vendor/evaluator agenda will most likely be full. Updated revisions of the agenda listing vendor/evaluator presentations will be posted on our web site () as the information becomes available.

If you are an EPA, state or local UST regulatory person interested in attending our meeting, all you have to do is show up at the meeting for as much of the meeting as you would like to attend. Unfortunately, there are no longer NEIWPCC travel funds available to attend our meeting. If you have questions, please contact me at (334)271-7986 or by e-mail at cdj@adem.state.al.us.
