Understandable; such solutions don't advance the bureaucratic interests of EPA and the career interests of its contractors. <br><br>N<br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"'>------------------------</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"'>Nikhil Desai</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Georgia","serif"'>(US +1) 202 568 5831</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"'><br><i>Skype: nikhildesai888</i></span><span style='font-size:9.5pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Fri, Nov 8, 2019 at 7:35 AM Crispin Pemberton-Pigott <<a href="mailto:crispinpigott@outlook.com" target="_blank">crispinpigott@outlook.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div id="gmail-m_3003276853614087253gmail-m_6342508230527102213m_3889406993737392524m_2036393810295384431gmail-m_716124467824420130gmail-m_1576858092845158558gmail-m_2613613783150030554gmail-m_-8199226129345303421response_container_BBPPID"><div name=BB10 id="gmail-m_3003276853614087253gmail-m_6342508230527102213m_3889406993737392524m_2036393810295384431gmail-m_716124467824420130gmail-m_1576858092845158558gmail-m_2613613783150030554gmail-m_-8199226129345303421BB10_response_div_BBPPID"><p class=MsoNormal>Dear Nikhil <o:p></o:p></p></div><div name=BB10 id="gmail-m_3003276853614087253gmail-m_6342508230527102213m_3889406993737392524m_2036393810295384431gmail-m_716124467824420130gmail-m_1576858092845158558gmail-m_2613613783150030554gmail-m_-8199226129345303421BB10_response_div_BBPPID"><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div name=BB10 id="gmail-m_3003276853614087253gmail-m_6342508230527102213m_3889406993737392524m_2036393810295384431gmail-m_716124467824420130gmail-m_1576858092845158558gmail-m_2613613783150030554gmail-m_-8199226129345303421BB10_response_div_BBPPID"><p class=MsoNormal>You ask good questions. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div name=BB10 id="gmail-m_3003276853614087253gmail-m_6342508230527102213m_3889406993737392524m_2036393810295384431gmail-m_716124467824420130gmail-m_1576858092845158558gmail-m_2613613783150030554gmail-m_-8199226129345303421response_div_spacer_BBPPID"><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div name=BB10 id="gmail-m_3003276853614087253gmail-m_6342508230527102213m_3889406993737392524m_2036393810295384431gmail-m_716124467824420130gmail-m_1576858092845158558gmail-m_2613613783150030554gmail-m_-8199226129345303421response_div_spacer_BBPPID"><p class=MsoNormal>Africa is the place but not exclusively.
