Grand Jury of Dallas County
IN CARE OF Ben Stool, Assistant District Attorney
Public Integrity Division
Criminal District Attorney's Office
Dallas County, Texas
Dear Jurors:
According to information that I received from Carin Memmer, James Gardner Dahl (Attachment 1) and Lawrence Edward Andrews (Attachment - 2) have been practicing law for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 in Dallas, Texas, without having licenses for 12 and 17 years respectively. Lawrence Edward Andrews supervised James Gardner Dahl. If this information is accurate, then the following should be considered.
The sources of information that I have that
will prove that GLCC management murdered my father are many, and I have
studied them thoroughly enough to be sure that it was murder. The magnitude and severity of the damage done while James Gardner Dahl and
Lawrence Edward Andrews practiced law without licenses has NOT yet been
determined, because I have only the information available on the Internet,
information that I received from Carin Memmer, and
some communications with Lawrence Edward Andrews.
My concern goes far beyond the victims of environmental crimes previously
mentioned. I have been told, by good people working at EPA Region 6, that, if
the EPA did what needed to be done to prosecute the crimes committed by GLCC
through enforcement of Environmental Laws that Congress authorized the EPA to
enforce, it would open the gates for thousands more victims of environmental
crimes just like the environmental crimes that I witnessed.
Given the effect that policies, actions, and legal interpretations of Mr. Dahl and Mr. Andrews
have potentially had on those affected by the crimes of GLCC, and considering the hundreds of
situations similar to the crimes of GLCC, the magnitude of the damage these
two men have potentially done to society is potentially at a much larger scale. With
this in mind, my perspective begins on a personal level, because the alleged moral turpitude of Mr. Dahl and Mr. Andrew has
potentially affected me, and affected
people
whose safety and health have been and are my responsibility. But I am
aware that many more have potentially had their health and safety affected by this
unethical behavior, and believe that this unethical behavior has caused the
EPA Region 6 to take an unethical path in its growth and development of a
government agency for several years.
I believe that this this sort of unethical behavior has resulted in making the EPA Region 6 an entity that is
falling short of serving the public, while it is serving criminals that are
injuring and killing many.
During the past 3 years, I have been dealing with the crimes of Great Lakes
Chemical Corporation; mostly crimes that have been committed at GLCC-Central
which is next to the house where I was born. The severity and complexity
of these crimes would take several large books to describe. The
questionable responses to these crimes by those working for government
agencies would also take several books to describe. But given the limits
I am facing with time, and given that it is my understanding that the
information I am sending to you is to help determine weather or not an
official investigation is warranted, I am asking that you consider all of the
information that I am giving to you regarding the crimes of GLCC, and that you
explore the possible impact that positions and actions of James Dahl and
Lawrence Andrews may have on those affected by the crimes of GLCC, and on
those affected by similar criminal organizations.
Government entities that have some form of stewardship over the crimes of GLCC
include the following:
-Union County Coroner
-Union County Sheriffs Department
-Union County Clerks Office
-Union County Prosecuting Attorney
-Arkansas Attorney General's Office
-Arkansas State Police
-Arkansas Department of Health
-Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)
-United States Geological Survey Office (USGS)
-United States Public Health Services Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease
Registry (ATSDR)
-United States Environmental Protection Agency
-United States Department of Justice
-Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
-United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA)
-Federal Trade Commission
-United States Department of Transportation
-United States Security Exchange Commission (SEC)
Many government officials in many of the above listed entities have told me
that their responses would depend on how the EPA responded. Many EPA
employees at EPA Headquarters, in Washington, DC, have told me that their
responses depended on the response of the EPA Region 6 office in Dallas,
Texas.

Tom,
Are you still working for the Department of justice? If you are, can you help? Managers, corporate officials, and board directors of Great
Lakes
Chemical Corporation - Chemtura (GLCC) have broken many state and federal laws,
routinely, for the past 40 years, and have deceived many. This has resulted in
horrific suffering and potential premature deaths for my father, for some of
my family members, for about 500 kids that went to my family's summer camp, and
for several thousand more uninformed victims in and around Great Lakes Chemical
Corporation Central Plant (GLCC-Central) near El Dorado, Arkansas.

Charels,
Since I sent this to you, I have found that Walter has already submitted his brief to the OSHA folks without talking about the environmental
issues and company doctor issues. So the impact of his brief will probably not be what I
had hoped.
I hope you don't retire during the next 4 or 5 years, because there is still a good possibility that sufficient information will be presented to
you in a way that will call for actions toward justice being served.
Take Care

Subject: Directors of these crimes recently moved their headquarters to Connecticut
Tom,
It just occurred to me that you may not be aware of the fact that the directors of Great Lakes Chemical Corporation recently bought their
company
from themselves, changed their company's name under the guise of a merger, and
moved their headquarters from Indiana to Connecticut. I believe this was done to
avoid criminal charges they should eventually be facing for the murder of my father, and to avoid
liability for several other crimes they have committed
which have affecting thousands more uninformed human beings. They have directed a
voluminous amount [of] crimes during the past 40 years with many crimes still
ongoing.
It is, also, my understanding that Great Lakes Chemical Corporation Central Plant near El Dorado, Arkansas is still operating under permits
that were granted to them based on false and misleading information that they submitted
to the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, to the Arkansas Department of
Health, to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and to the
United States Public Health Services Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry.
The address for where these lowlife, murdering criminals call their
headquarters is as follows:
Chemtura Corporation
199 Benson Road
Middlebury, CT 06749

Please notice that I didn't send a copy [to] Klain Garriga or Mike Centola of the EPA Region 6 Criminal Investigation Division. Everyone
on this list knows why I didn't send a copy to them except for you, Tom. I hope that you are
able to become aware of why I didn't include Klain and Mike, and that you will
tell the right folks in the Department of Justice about it.
I don't know if the fact that these criminals have moved their headquarters to Connecticut makes any difference as far as jurisdiction
goes, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.
Sincerely,
Frank McKinnon

Mark,
I was in the process of cleaning my desk so that I can really get to work on the crimes of Great Lakes Chemical Corporation (Chemtura), and I
found a note from you dated February 25, 2005. This note says: "The
Compliance Assurance and Enforcement Division has search our files and found no
information on Parkers Chapel Water Tower on dates of 9/24/76 and 9/25/76 related to your request."
It will be a year or two or three before I have saved up enough money to spend much time in Dallas, but being that this information is of
utmost importance, I am asking that you look for it. The information that I am
needing is ANY AND ALL SAMPLING DATA FROM THE PARKER'S CHAPEL WATER TOWER (AIR AND WATER), AND ANY AND ALL
SAMPLING DATA FROM THE POND 200 METERS NORTH
OF THE PARKER'S CHAPEL WATER TOWER. This includes any and all dates between the
first sample ever taken to the present.

Paul,
This evening, I realized that I didn't send you a copy of my most recent FOIA
request that I sent to Jerva, so I am sending you a copy of it now. I
talked with Jerva, a few days ago, to make sure that she received it. She
told me that she did receive it, and that she would see what she could do about
getting this information by December 16. I have heard nothing from anyone
regarding this FOIA request. I am assuming that the reason I have
not heard anything is that responding to my FOIA request is up to you. It
is my understanding that you are the Region 6 EPA lawyer in charge of FOIA.
Since a copy of this is going to a grand jury for the purpose of showing a
potential connection between crimes of Great Lakes Chemical Corporation and
unethical behavior of some Region 6 EPA lawyers, I believe that including the
experiences I have had with you could be significant.
There are a couple of statements that you made to me that may have been derived
from James Gardner Dahl being your mentor, or by Lawrence being your supervisor.
The first statement of concern was made during a meeting we had in the FOIA
reading room in June 2004. You explained to me that, because I was
concerned about the murder of my father, because I was concerned about injuries
and deaths of my friends and family, and because I was concerned about the
injuries and deaths of kids that stayed at my family's summer camp, I held
self-interest in the information I was seeking from the EPA regarding Great
Lakes Chemical Corporation. You explained to me that this self-interest
that I held disqualified me from receiving help from the EPA. You said you
believed that taxpayers wouldn't want the EPA to waste its resources on my
self-interest. Was this interpretation of law and policy derived from
James Dahl being your mentor? Was it derived from Lawrence Andrews being
your supervisor?
The second statement of concern was made by you during a telephone conversation that you and I had recently. During this telephone conversation, I was following up on some FOIA requests that I had made which were obviously being ignored. You explained to me that it was your "job to make sure that the EPA doesn't do anything that it doesn't have to." Was this declared duty of yours derived from James Gardner Dahl being your mentor? Was it derived from Lawrence Andrews being your supervisor?
Below is a copy of my most recent FOIA
