Jeanne,

notified the EPA HF Study Steering Committee that you are interested in hearing more
about their efforts and you can expect to hear from them in the near future. If that doesn't happen,
please let me know and I will follow up.

Also, they have confirmed their participation in the MSC conference.

Thanks, Andrew

Jeanne,

Your participation is much appreciated and thanks for the quick response. Yes, API is working with
Batelle. I will get back to you with an API contact shortly.

Hi Andrew,

I would be happy to provide an update at the September meeting. Could you recommend who I might
contact to learn more about the API study? believe Batelle is working on this, but I am not sure who is the

best person to contact.
thanks,

Jeanne

Subject. Request for a Presentation at the MSC Conference in September

Jeanne,

Further to my previous e-mail, the Marcellus Shale Coalition's annual conference is in
Philadelphia on Sep 20 and 21, 2012. I am inviting you (EPA Office of Research and
Development) to participate in a Shale Gas Forum on the Hydraulic Fracturing Study. What I
have in mind is a half hour presentation from the ORD and a half hour presentation from API on
their companion study followed by a session. Could you please confirm your availability?
If you need more time, we could also consider a Shale Gas Insight Session. The generic
descriptions of the different sessions are as follows:

Shale Gas Insight Session -- 1 hour in length, should be designed for a targeted or technical

audience. Research papers and technical work should drive this session in order to satisfy
continuing education/professional development requirements.

Shale Gas Forum -- 1/2 hours in length, panel discussion appropriate for broad audience.
Speakers should include executives or senior level personnel.

I would appreciate a response by May 11. Please phone me at 724-814-6801 if you would like to
discuss in more detail.

Thanks, Andrew

Jeanne,

Yes that's what I had in mind. We had a large turnout at our conference last year and expect it to be even bigger in
2012, so this would be a great forum to get your message out.

Thanks, Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the slides. I'm checking to see our potential availability for the annual meeting in
September. As a representative of the Office of Research and Development, I would be
talking about our study, not any regulatory or similar topics.

Jeanne,

As requested. here is a copy of the presentation from the MSC meeting you
attended on Mar 21. Please let me know if you or your staff have additional
questions.

I have a question for you with respect to the Hydraulic Fracturing 
are you interested in participating on a panel discussion on this topic? The
forum would be the MSC's annual "Shale Gas Insights" conference in
Philadelphia in September of 2012. This is a two day event covering a broad
range of shale topics -- technical, regulatory, public affairs, etc. Attendees

will include industry, state and federal regulators, academics, elected
officials, media and members of the public. At this point I'm not asking for a

firm commitment, just an expression of interest and if so, we can discuss more
details.

Thanks, Andrew
