Summary

Speakers reported delays in letter distribution and that recent well sampling returned 'no hits'; a formerly monitored private well is no longer in the system because the owner has sold the property and not responded to outreach.

Committee members discussed the well-sampling program and the status of outreach letters. Joe Spears said the program has fallen behind in getting letters signed but that the sampling work is ongoing. He reported that a well formerly used in monitoring is no longer part of the system because the owner sold the property and did not respond to outreach.

Spears summarized sampling results bluntly: "No hits is no hits, and that's what we're after." Committee staff confirmed that sample labels and logistics are being finalized and that they will continue monitoring until a pattern emerges.
