The EPA study, "El Dorado Hills, Naturally Occurring Asbestos Multimedia Exposure Assessment Preliminary Assessment and Site Inspection Report Interim Final" ("El Dorado Hills Study"), concluded that for the area studied, asbestos fibers are present in both the soil and background air and noted exposure to elevated concentrations of asbestos fibers in connection with activity-based monitoring. In September 2005, RJ Lee Group (RJLG) was contracted to conduct a peer review of the El Dorado Hills Study. Specifically, RJLG was asked to evaluate whether the air and soil data gathered and analyzed by EPA and the contracted laboratories support the published findings, and to assess the data collected using the latest science concerning asbestos fiber definition and whether or not there was significant exposure. Applying the latest scientific and definitional techniques, RJLG found that the El Dorado Hills Study showed no significant exposure to the specific type of amphibole asbestos fiber.
