Thank you for pointing out the obvious typo in the large verbatim section taken from the EPA draft report. The point of this post was to display what was actually in the controversial report, so cutting & pasting was totally appropriate—if only it were that simple. The PDF of the document was from a scan of the original text, meaning the PDF contained images, not text. To produce our report we had to convert each page of the report PDF to a TIFF image, all 98 pages, and then run the images through an optical character recognition program to turn the report into text. The OCR process was not without a few flaws. The date faux pas has been corrected, thanks for your help.
