RE: Tar Creek Superfund Site
Request for Bid
Scales for Repository Site and other Sites

CH2M HILL
Nicholas A. Fiscina Senior Contract Administrator

Thank you for asking me (ETSI) and sending me the information for bidding the Scales work at Tar Creek.

After reading all of the contents of the information I received and reviewing the requirements that CH2M HILL has place for doing the necessary and mandated requirements and the Scope of Work (SOW) that is included in this requested bid, I have decided to answer your requested bid for the scales for the repository site project at Tar Creek with the following response.

In the original bid that I did for the Repository site, which CH2M HILL said that my bid was technically qualified and then I (ETSI) was notified by CH2M HILL and given no explanation as to why I was no longer being considered for work at the repository site, you will notice that my bid included the scale installations and requirements that you have now requested me to bid again. You will also notice that due to the amount/volume of (stated by CH2M HILL) haul trucks that my bid included a site plan that would be able to meet the bid mandated requirements, turnaround times and decontamination requirements for haul trucks, that you are asking me to bid again and another site plan. I cannot help that the other bidders or CH2M HILL or the company that was awarded the contract did not take into account what would be required at the repository site and CH2M HILL did not take into account what I now believe to be the only workable site plan or CH2M HILL would not have to solicit bids again on something/work that I included in my original bid and according to CH2M HILL was technically qualified and now wants me to bid again. You will also notice in your current requested bid information, for the site and scales, that the necessary/mandated requirements again have many deficiencies and liabilities that a small business and especially (a SDVOSB) would have difficulties accepting and following CERCLA, meeting the ARRA of 2009 or having CH2M HILL telling them their work was not sufficient and requiring that company to do more work and at their own expense (as stated in the original bid). It is obvious to me that the company that CH2M HILL awarded the site repository contract to did not include the scales or workable site plan that I did or CH2M HILL would not be asking for bids again to do what I already proposed, planned, and submitted and CH2M HILL accepted. I have to assume that I was the only qualified bidder that covered and designed a complete and workable repository site plan and this was the only way for CH2M HILL to able to choose a company and provide information, who did not provide a complete plan, and of their (CH2M HILL) choice and CH2M HILL only needed ETSI to present to CH2M HILL a workable site plan, but you (ETSI) are no longer considered, because ETSI is not part of CH2M HILL program/club or CH2M HILL friends/good olde boys program or CH2M HILL would not be requesting a bid, from me (ETSI), who CH2M HILL says is no longer considered, for repository work, stated by your (CH2M HILL) EMAIL, that the awarded company did not include in their original bid or even consider and we need your (ETSI) expertise and complete understanding of the SOW to make the repository site work efficiently, but we (CH2M HILL) do not want you working here.

There is an old saying DUMB I MAY BE, BUT STUPID I AM NOT.

Therefore, I wish to decline to bid this requested bid for the Scales at Tar Creek.

TO THE OKLAHOMA AND THE NATION

There are many that have deep concerns about the health and economy of our nation. There are some of us that have decided to make it a mission to do something about the future of this nation. It does not make any difference if you are a Democrat /Republican, if you are interested in politics or not, if you read the news paper or receive your news/information by TV or use the internet, it does not make any difference if you have a job or not. It also does not make any difference what your opinion is about global warming, whether this planet is domed or not or whether you believe hazardous material are causing health concerns for you family and your children. It does not make any difference if you like or dislike any of our elected officials. It also does not make any difference what your education levels are. Most people who have concerns about the future of this nation and their families and children and their children children or generations to come, will understand what does make a difference. For those who do or do not care what happens to their families and this nation the following facts are known and whether you believe them or not, the facts are the facts.

I will be placing on the internet; reports or letters that have been published or have been kept from the public as so the public does not know, what is and has been affecting their daily lives and the future of families, children, and this nation.

After filing another Formal Complaint with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) representing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and another Formal Complaint being swept under the rug, with Presidential approval, I wrote another letter to President Obama stating that I would be writing this letter and start posting information to the internet, letters and information that I have received from various government agencies and elected officials. Much of the letter/information has already been provided to the media and for whatever reasons the media has chosen to not publish to the public. I cannot even assume the reason, because of the health, safety and future of this Nation is at stake This posting will begin on January 6, 2010, because this is the time scheduled for another project to start at the Tar Creek Superfund Site endorsed by EPA, President Obama and various elected officials, which deals with continuous numerous violations of federal laws, misuse of stimulus funding and abuse and waste of taxpayer dollars. I will be posting list/information to the internet: information, laws, formal complaints, letters, responses and much more.

RE: FORMAL COMPLAINT
Tar Creek Superfund Site

President Obama
Senator Inhofe
OIG Mr. Roderick
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson
EPA Region 6 Regional Administrator Al Armendariz

I was asked by Senator Inhofe to keep him updated about the Formal Complaint I filed December 11, 2009, concerning the Tar Creek Superfund Site and Stimulus funding. Since, I have not heard back from Senator Inhofe about my response to Senator Inhofe and copies that I sent out to many and since in Senator Inhofe letter he states that by keeping him informed with up dates and I do not know how my letters/information are being shared with Congress and the Nation, I thought that since the Senator is so busy with the Nation’s work, I would help him with by sharing my letters/information with Congress and the Nation. The easiest way I know to share my letters/information and try to get an answer to my questions and complaints is to ask the nation if anyone has answers.

Last night I was informed that the work that I was asked to bid on at Tar Creek was to start next Wednesday January 6, 2010. Since I was informed by the Prime Contractor that I was no longer being considered for this work and no reason was given by the Prime for not being considered, I have to assume that all they needed my proposal for was to provide the Prime with a workable plan that followed Federal Laws and CERCLA, since I designed and developed the first truly permanent solution for this Superfund Site, that has ever been done before and is of record with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and many others, including the EPA.

The response letters that I have received from Washington and various elected officials, seem to be remised in answering my questions and formal complaints that are of record. Since I am going to help reduce the work load of Senator Inhofe and posting on the internet letters/information, we will see if there is anyone who can answer why Washington does not want permanent solutions for Tar Creek and the Superfund Program, does not want to create hundreds of jobs, if not thousands of jobs, wants to continue violating federal laws and CERCLA, does not want to support the Disabled Veteran Companies (SDVOSB), does not want to remove a double hidden tax on every electric consumer in the Nation, does not want to save 30 to 50 percent of this nation energy needs, abuse of the stimulus (TAXPAYER) funds, does not want to clean this nation impaired waters and many other questions?

I will start posting to the internet on January 6, 2010 at the same time work starts at Tar Creek.

RE: LETTER Dated December 2, 2009
Letter received December 23, 2009


Senator Inhofe:

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to another letter and another formal complaint that I sent to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Lisa Jackson) and the office of the Inspector General and Inspector General for the EPA and with a copy to the President of the United States, along with copies to many others. As I have stated in this complaint and letter, that I have filed, as well as several other formal complaints filed before, it seems that there is no one in Washington or any state that cares about the environment or cares about the economy or creating jobs or small business. The response letters that I have received, not only from the President or the Whitehouse Staff, many others all saying the same response, “We appreciate your interest and your time for providing us information and we will look into the situation or we will make a note of this in our head or we will monitor the situation, keep us updated”. What an answer for anyone to give if they really had any type of concern, cared about this Nation, or cared about the federal laws and especially the President of the United States saying the same. What this does tell me, that this is politics, as usual, and who does not care about people, taxpayers or this nation, and anyone that has solutions and interest in protecting and growing this Nation, responses like this mean, leave us (Washington) alone, because WE and the Good Olde Boys have everything under control. If they have everything under control, they must not be reading letters and/or complaints like mine, the newspapers or other reports and they reside in another world, because if they did care, we would not have a Nation of unemployment at ten percent and growing and taxpayer money going to companies that continue to line their pockets, with special connections to Washington and cannot follow federal laws, including government agencies.

You mention in your letter that you do not always have time to listen or have the opportunity to listen to everyone’s ideas, concerns, and problems, even though you return to the state almost every weekend. Senator Inhofe, what does it take to gain that (YOUR) attention, when you have residents, families and children and tax payers that are in areas like Tar Creek, where hazardous materials are being discharge 24 hours a day 7 days a week and you have the EPA and the President of the United States violating Federal Laws and spending billions of taxpayers dollars on superfund sites like this with the same results after decades of work, just when do you have time? I do realize why people need to be removed from this site, but it still does not stop the hazardous discharges or prevent subsidence (cave-ins) or justified open end contracts for the Good Olde Boys to work that does not follow federal laws or protect the downstream areas from hazardous waste contamination. Senator Inhofe, how would you feel if you were told that here is a volute buyout, your water and electric is going to be stopped, and eminent domain will be used if you do not take the offer your are presented. I think you might would want to consider rereading the public meeting records/documents in Picher and what was the purpose of and why OU4 was approved by the EPA, because the buyout was not about the health of people in the Tar Creek superfund Site or Oklahoma residents or the residents within the Superfund Site, but about the EPA and the BOYS having another 25 plus years of receiving taxpayer money for work that does not follow federal laws, and then at the end of the next 25 plus years we (EPA) will decide on what to do next.

Actions like this stated above, does not justify why Washington does not want to create jobs or protect our environment, when you have solutions already designed that will do just what this State, Superfund Sites and federal programs need and mandated by Congress and can be applied through out the nation. Want a building block, all you have to do is look in your backyard and you will find people and companies like me and people asking for elected officials to support the small business and especially the SDVOSB, and yet when we sent letters or file formal complaints we get response letters stating “We will make a note of this in our HEAD”. Want to set a standard and transparency for the Nation, don’t just monitor the situation as you stated, but do something about it. Want to show the Nation what Oklahoma has to offer or the small business or the Service Disabled Veteran Small Business (SDVOSB) has to offer, do what you said several years ago, when I presented to you the first truly permanent solution for the Superfund Program and received an Innovator Award and several nominations for this process/product at MIT for this process. Want hundreds of jobs to be created and improve our environment and economy at the same time, let this SDVOSB, with you leading and the State of Oklahoma give Washington a lesson about innovation and put Oklahoma as the Leader of innovation and economy recovery. If President Obama and Washington can GIVE billions of taxpayer dollars to companies that continue to abuse and violate federal laws, companies that cannot follow stimulus guidelines, companies that could care less about jobs or the environment and all they care about is the MONEY, WHY do we not show them what a company and a state can do, that does care about the environment and jobs, especially shovel ready jobs? Why do we not show the country what the Service Disabled Veteran Small Business (SDVOSB) is really about and what we can do? I realize that many in this country and many in Washington do not care about Veterans and especially the Disabled Veterans (EPA Region 6 has proved this many times over), but let us do what we do best, protect this nation, create jobs, and move this Nation forward. I can assure you that we can do better than the experts in Washington.

Senator Inhofe, I am curious as to how my sharing my letters and formal complaints, with you, is shared with Congress and in turn the nation, as you stated in your response letter. I am also curious why you will continue to monitor the situation I outlined in my letter, when I have sent other copies and letters/complaints to you about these same issues. I would think that instead of monitoring the situation, you would want to stop the continues hazardous waste discharges, create hundreds of jobs for Oklahoma, support correcting taxpayer abuse, correcting the uncontrolled waste of taxpayer dollars, support the Disabled Veterans and their businesses, correcting issues of the stimulus package, that is currently in progress, correct violations of federal laws and demonstrate to the President and the Nation that we (including you) can do something about the environment, taxpayer abuse, health issues and put this nation back on the road to recovery. One other thing I can assure you nobody wants my opinion about Global Warming, because Global Warming Issue is not about saving this planet.

RE: President Obama
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson
Mr. Don Maddox
 
Sir:
I received a letter (Dated Jan 30, 2009) from EPA Region 6 in referenced to the faxes that I sent to President Obama and the EPA Administrator Jackson. After receiving this letter I called the Administrator Jackson office and talked with Mr. Maddox, he suggestion that I write to you and provide you with the enclosed faxes that I have sent for your review and a response.
I have received letters from Region 6 like this before and nothing ever happens or my requests is just simplify ignored. I would think that if you read the enclosed information you will see the seriousness and my determination to provide permanent solutions for the superfund program. I am tried of the corruption, the runaround of Region 6, and what their prime contractors are doing and their deliberate permanent attitude of avoiding the federal laws and endorcing the good olde boy program. A formal complaint was filed with the Environment and Public Works (EPW) and I have as of yet ever heard anything from the EPW. My only conclusion is that the formal complaint has been covered up. I would think that the EPA approving and supplying their prime contractor lead scientist to a meeting and dressing hin in EPA attire and introducing him as an employee of the EPA (I would consider a Corp MOLE) to gather information on how to fix the nation’s number one superfund site with a designed permanent solution would be investigated. I would think that a statement by EPA saying that they would shut my company down, if I started a pilot project at the Tar Creek Superfund Site to prove and provide this Nations first permanent solution for the Superfund program. I would think that since my Company (Environment Toxins Solutions Inc.) (ETSI), is listed as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and the Region 6 person in charged of this program sends me a letter stating that I can bid and go to a site in Northern America, in another Region, to work would supports the attitude of Region 6 and also support the statement that Region 6 has given all of the mandated contracts (SDVOSB) to their prime contractors. I would think that since Senator Inhofe staff at the EPW confirmed the receipt of the Formal Complaint, you would be able to get a copy of the formal complain and see the action taken. I would think that if you read the BEVILL Act you will also discover just some of the federal laws that EPA is violating and why the EPA Region 6 placed the CHAT RULE and volates the second step of mandated CERCLA requirements. I would think that the current buyout ($60 Plus Million of taxpayer dollars) at Tar Creek (which the people needed to happen years ago) and then turn the land over to the Indians after the buyout is completed, still in the same condition and not corrected, uninhabitable with the same hazardous and dangerous conditions, who by the way, the Indians refused permanent solutions, would not be in the best interest of the taxpayer or in accordance with CERCLA/Superfund Program would be investigated.
If you need additional information please call or write because I have volumes of information and recorded meetings and other documents, with the USACE, EPA, Elected officials representatives and the team of ETSI. I can also be GOOGLE on the internet and you will find other information including Patent and Patent pending published information.
 
LOOKING FOR TO YOUR RESPONSE
