it is not so much the EPA’s sampling, but the other organisations that would be taking water samples. For example, Irish Water would take samples and test the water before putting it into a drinking water supply. Other organisations in their discharge would be taking water samples. What I am getting at is whether there are samples of water out there all the time that are available to be examined.

Is there a possibility for somebody with fresh eyes, other than the EPA, the IFI or the Marine Institute, taking a look at further data to drill in closer to see what actually happened?
