The thin reaudual scum Was <br /> determined to be totally inert and IandfW disposable. The water and <br /> scum was :approved for dwponal on site, <br /> Ahead of schedule and under budget, the Coant,Y of Santa Barbara <br /> Department of Health Services, Mr. Dale Karns, signed off the permit. <br /> Present at the time was Wi?limm IL Shorn, Superintendent, Channel <br /> Islands National Park (805)644-8157, on April 6, 1989. <br /> MOST SIGNIFICANT wERm TSS SKCBLLENT RESULTS OBTAIIOW <br /> OUR MICROBES AND SURFACTANTIlN SSA WATT A TIMM <br /> BREAKTHROUGH WITH WHICH TO ADDRESS THS CURRl1 ff PROBLEMS <br /> ALASKA. <br /> 10 APPENDIX II - LABORATORY REPORTS <br /> 12 THOR901 <br />
