Re: [CPEO-BIF] Brownfields Digest, Vol 90, Issue 4

NYS tried doing this for a few sites including the Hopewell Precision 
site and the IBM site in Endicott. Participation was very low. Only 
about 7-10% answered. People felt insecure sending information to the 
DOH because they did not know what would be done with this information.

I was upset that so few people wanted to be in the survey. I wish the 
folks in Pompton better results.
