Re: Pollution/Public Toxic Contamination Complaint

Dear Mr. Paylor:

Thank you for your timely response! Yes, you can be of further
assistance by referring our complaint to the appropriate agency for
super-fund site assessment to evaluate potential or confirmed releases
of hazardous substances and pollutants that may pose a threat to human
health or the environment.

Our complaint showed how there are present dangers occurring to the
residents of Youngs Terrace, Tidewater Gardens, and Calvert Square.

As stated in our complaint the demolition and redevelopment will disturb

the volatile dangerous site.

This does not preclude the fact of contaminated underground water

loaded with highly organic hazardous substances such as coal tar, coal
ash, iron, oily benzene and other poisonous coal by-products, as poly
nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) cyanide and phenolics, inorganic
nitrogen compounds, metals and gases such as methane migrating off-site
from the Old Virginia Electric & Power Norfolk Manufactured Coal
Gasification Plant site, adjacent to the project, known as (HRT LOT #39,
in the projects contaminated soil in unacceptable levels.
The residents exposure to even the possibility of dangerous levels
of vapor intrusion may be ingested or inhaled, these most dangerous
contaminants known to mankind, even in minuscule amounts, can
cause significant and irreversible brain damage as well as other health
problems.

We believe your response was unfair to these predominately African-

American communities because these present pollutants pose a daily
threat to human health and the environment could not have been more
emphasized.

Thanking you in advance,

Mr. Roy L. Perry-Bey
