Box 250 Pulaski, Hew York 13142 Dear Mr. King: Mr. Lee Johnson informed me of your request for information describing the'chemical differences between our dispersed, size and paste size. Both sizing agents contain tall oil rosin as the primary ingredient. The rosin is modified with chemical additives such as fumaric acid or maleic anhydride. Paste size is produced by the addition of sodium hydroxide which converts the modified rosin into the sodium salt form. Dispersed size contains the modified rosin with dispersing agents and defoaming agents added to help homogenizing in wAter. Our research studies indicate that the primary difference between the two materials after incorporation into the paper webb ia merely one of particle size and is physical rather than chemical. Both the dispersed size and paste size are regelated by the Pood and Drug Administration under Title 21, Sections 121.2526 and 121.2571.

I suggest that you confirm this similarity by contacting Hr. Harry Sheppard, Meetinghouse Electric Corporation, 4t>9 Sharpaville, Sharon, Pennsylvania l6l46. .. ' As I Indicated, the Inerteen is a blend of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorinated benzenes. I have enclosed information relating to the PCBs. You may wish to contact a producer of chlorinated benzenes, such as Hooker Chemical Company, for information relating, to those chemicals. I hope you find the attachments helpful.

Cliff Tuttle Is also, under the impression that Stu Rlchel was O.E.'s spokesman and that O.E. has already endorsed the paper. I do not know what role Luke Hart will play at this time.

Tuttle Aerovox Corporation 7^0 Belleville Avenue New Bedford, Massachusetts 027^1 Dear Cliff: During its recent meeting in St. Louis, your EIA - PCB Working Committee requested that Monsanto submit an action plan relative to PCBs. Due to the state of indecision and confusion that appears to exist within EPA I find it very difficult to prepare a precise action plan and schedule to meet each and every potential development. Under present conditions Monsanto's plans relating to PCB and Section 307a of the Water Act are as follows: (1) We will remain informed of personnel changes within EPA and establish communications with those individuals with any influence in the promulgation of effluent standards. The individuals currently involved are Mr. R. K. Ballentine, standards; Dr. Leonard Ouarraia, criteria (basis and purpose document); Mr. Joseph Vitails, effluent cleanup and technology and Mr. Thomas Kopp, PCB representative. Office of Toxic Substances. (2) We will meet personally with these individuals. IXiring these discussions Monsanto strategy will be to Influence the EPA in the following areas using Monsanto information or data from other sourcesi Definition of PCBs Analytical methods and round-robin testing Sampling methods and monitoring techniques. Effluent cleanup technology. Biodegradation differences.. Absorption by soil and significance to landfill disposal and entrapment by sediment in water bodies. Sw DSW 174670 STLCOPCB4049191 Mr. C. A. Tuttle -2 May 30, 1975 (g) Toxicity studies (h) Background levels (i; Bioaccumulatlon (3) When proposed standards are published we will comment in writing and participate in public hearings or symposia as appropriate, (4) If the final standards, which are promulgated are unachievable and unrealistic, we will review our action plan with representatives of the capacitor and trans- former industries, . . ,1 \..v - Your committee can contribute significantly by "educating" the EPA, in writing and during discussions, in the design, use, servicing and manufacturing of electronic components including capacitors. Some suggested subjects ares (1) The importance of PCBs In capacitors (2) How capacitors are designed In unit systems (3) How capacitors are used (4) Problems which will occur In servicing and retrofitting if PCBs were not available (5) The need for fire resistant capacitor fluids (6) How capacitors are manufactured and how plant effluent is controlled (7) The economic impact which would result if PCBs are effectively banned These topics should be covered in considerable detail and with sufficient emphasis to get the desired understanding in EPA. This information should be presented to EPA prior to the publication of a proposed regulation, in written comments following publicationn and in testimony during hearings.

Wood During a recent meeting of the EIA - PCB working committee, it became very apparent that our customers are expecting more technical information relating to PCBS8 to assist them in their attempts to influence the EPA's pending effluent 4 standard and to help them meet the standard when it is - finally promulgated. Specifically, we were asked for more information relating to the biodegradation, bioaccumulation and toxicity of PCBs. They also requested information concerning our studies on effluent cleanup technology. Will you please arrange to have summary reports of the Ruabon pond and Inversk studies as well as summaries of the recent urethane foam absorption studies prepared. These summaries should be presented in a manner which will permit sharing with our customers and appropriate governmental representatives. W. B. Papageorge /pd 4 DSW 174676 A--.

Tuttle Aerovox Corporation 7^0 Belleville Avenue New Bedford, Massachusetts 027^1 Dear Cliff: During its recent meeting in St. Louis, your EIA - PCB working committee requested that Monsanto submit an action plan relative to PCBs. 1 ' Due to the state cf Indecision and confusion that appears to exist within EPA I find it very difficult to prepare a precise action plan and schedule. Under current conditions Monsanto's plans relating to PCB and Section 30JA of the Water Act are as follows: (1) Keep abreast of personnel changes within EPA and establish communications with those individuals with any in fluence in the promulgation of effluent standards. The individuals involved are Mr. R. K. Ballentine, standards; Dr. Leonard Quarraia, criteria (basis and purpose document); Mr. Joseph VItails, effluent cleanup and technolog^^nd Mr. Thomas Kopp, PCB representative, office of Toxic Substances. (2) Meet personally with the individuals listed above at least twice each month and of course more frequently as developments Indicate. DSW 174677 STLCOPCB4049198 Mr. C. A. Tuttle -2- May i 1975 Toplc^3) Topics for discussion with EPA representatives will include biodegradation, bioaccumulation, background levels, Afcxicity, definition of PCBs and cleanup technology. These discussions will include material previously submitted to EPA as well as new material as it betfomes available. As soon as EPA*a planning and scheduling becomes apparent we, of course, will be able to adjust our activities accordingly. Sincerely, W. B. Papageorge Manager, Product Acceptability Specialty 4 Process Chemicals DSW 174678 STLCOPCB4049199 W. B. Papageorge B2SK May 29, 1975 PRODUCT ACCEPTABILITY ACTIVITIES PCBs T. L. Qossage E. M. Potter R. Q. Potter W. R. Richard H. S. Bergen I have made an analysis of the activities in which I become involved and their relevancy toward the achievement of my goals and consistency with the provisions of the Mission and Charter Statements for Product Acceptability. I find that some of these activities should more properly be handled by the appropriate functions which exist within the business group. Recent examples of such activities include a request from our customers for a procedure to be followed in the event PCB shipments are involved in accidents, the discussions with representatives of HUB Fabric Leather Company relating to the disposal of scri;' PCBS, and the hosting of PCB customers during the recent EIA committee meeting. It appears that the procedure for handling shipping accidents should be pussued by someone in the distribution function and the customer contacts and HUB Fabrics discussions should be pursued by marketing representatives. I will, of course, continue to be intimately involved in PCB matters but in the future I recommend that activities which can be best handled by others be delegated to them. The usual excellent cooperation from your business group will be appreciated. W. B.

Murray Center for Policy Alternatives HIT Building 35-431 - Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 - Dear Mr. Murray* I regret and apologize for the delay in responding to your letter dated April 7. I hope the delay has not seriously inconvenienced you. I find the questions you raised are difficult because I do not have the proper information. For example I have no method for determining the quantity of PCB formerly used in protective coatings because most of the PCBs used in this application were purchased fbyci small coatings manufacturers from our distributors who also sold to many other applications. Since I do not know what properties each paint manufacturer was seeking when he used PCBs, I -cannot speculate what other materials could have served as competing substitutes. The exact number of heat exchangers using PCB fluids in 1970 is not obtainable. My personal guess is that in the United States the number of heat exchangers was probably about 1500, ranging in capacity from 55 gallons up to 100,000 gallons, with the majority in the 500 to 1000 gallon bracket. ; . .. - .... ' > The use category described as "hydraulics/lubricants? includes those applications in which the fluid is used to transmit energy as well as-the applications such as air compressors and high speed Surbinas which were classified as lubricants. Of the total 7.4-x 10 pounds, about 90 were used for energy transmission, the remainder as lubricants. In every case SVV 174695 STLCOPCB4049216 Mr. Albert E.

Wood X have contacted representatives of EPA in Washington and in Region H to determine if they can persuade the New Jersey authorities to permit the disposal of the Japanese material in the Rollins unit. The EPA has no legal influence which would help overrule a state decision and is therefore not able to help us. Everyone I have contacted has had some unfortunate experience with the disposal of the Department of Defense's Agent Orange. It appears that any material arriving from overseas will be emotionally rejected by state authorities because they fear political repercussions. - The only suggestion EPA could offer was that we burn the material in our own unit.

I also reviewed with then* the need to prevent the loss of these fluids into the environment under any conditions. In both cases I was led to believe that the amount of Askarel fluid Involved Is extremely small and that the' preponderance of scrip Askarel fluids is handled by Rosen Electrical Equipment Company, Los Angeles, California, Bill Rosen - proprietor, telephone 213-685-9870. - I called Mr. Rosen and discussed Askarel disposal with him. From our conversation I am left with the impression that Mr. Rosen has an excellent understanding of the total problem and appears to be handling waste material properly. I personally have not had any contacts with scrip disposal companies requesting information on disposal of scrap fluid. It should be no surprise that there are many involved. It is my considered opinion that the transformer manufacturers must bear the full responsibility for informing their customers of the proper disposal methods available and this information in turn must be forwarded to the scrip disposal companies. -' ` ^V '- ' . Regarding your query relating to.labeling of Askarel trans- . formers, it is my understanding that prior to 1971 transformers containing PCBs had a reference to "Askarels" on the product nameplate. Since 1971 an additional label referring to environmental contamination by PCBs, similar to the wording on our containers, has been added. ^ - /pd W. B.

Richard Confirming our recent discussion relating to the inclusion of toxicological and biodegradation data in the new Santotrac brochure, I believe that Howard Bergen's concerns are under- _ ... standable and of the type that we should consider in tte&are - : ` publications o'f our literature whenever the appropriate data ' ' is available. . In this instance, however, I believe the information on Page 32, which was derived from our animal studies, should be sufficient to guide our customers In the proper handling of this material. In my opinion any reference at this time to biodegradation, although highly desirable, would not be appropriate. Firstly, the methodology used has not as yet received universal acceptance. This is true of all biodegradation test protocols. Secondly, the rates of degradation determined in our laboratory range from lb% to 28{, which are significant but not too Impressive to individuals looking for 90 - 100$6. Reference to biodegradation of our products in brochures has not as yet been made for any product. Although I highly recommend that this type of information be developed for Inclusion in future bulletins, the Santotrac bulletin is not, in my opinion, the proper bulletin to serve as a prototype. \ I recommend that the limited information we have on our Santotrac* . be consolidated In an SIB for our salesmen who can then be . prepared to respond to specific questions raised by our .; customers. -- . \ ;, ' ..

If the material is slightly contaminated it is reworked by our customer and the re-cycllng process Is considered part of the normal activities in his plant.

The amount of material destroyed at Monsanto's incineration unit was 4,832,000 poinds in 197$ and 2,777.000 pounds in 1974. We estimate that this material was approximately 90 per cent PCBs.

Plant personnel quickly grasped the significance of the need for reviewing our practices relating to product quality control and appeared highly motivated to participate in activities to assure that the plant's performance was in compliance. . . As reviewed by Bill Papageorge with you, Les Oilbert and Bill Mees, the following are the significant items which should receive attention in the near futures ' 1. Raw Material and finished product specifications, analytical methodologies, and sampling procedures should be reviewed, revised if necessary and reissued. Recording of customer requirements that differ from our standard specification needs special attention. 2. Release of bulk shipments of plasticizers and acids prior to laboratory analysis should be reviewed. Sampling and testing plans which describe current practices on these products should have high priority. Ollie DeOarmo, after reviewing these written descriptions, will submit his recommendation. 3. Currently the Santocel production facilities do not comply with PDA standards established for the manufacture of food additives. The business group will be requested to arrive at a decision relating to upgrading of the facilities. Bill Papageorge will pursue this with the appropriate l^ufelneas group managers. 4. As finished product specifications are reviewed and approved, the Chief Chemist should assume the responsibility for the release of material for shipment. - .

I have reviewed Mr. Ross* letter to you relating to Aakarela in transformers for maas transit use and I have the following comments to offart Item No. 3 Is incorrect since the EPA does not approve of incinerators. The Monsanto unit has a permit to operate from the state of Illinois. The Chem-trol Pollution Services, Inc. unit at Model City, New York, has New York State authority to operate. The three units operated by Rollins Environmental Services Company at Olouster City, New Jersey, Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Houston, Texas,presumably have the proper state authorities to,operate but I understand the Texas and Louisiana units have occasionally been forced to cease operations and make appropriate corrections. Under Item 6 I agree that transformer leaks are a rarity; however we should-keep in mind that some leaks which have occurred recently have been very costly to the responsible parties and the magnitude of the cost is dependent on the circumstances surrounding each incident and the type of cleanup effort required. . Dave Wood has expressed some thoughts relating to continued Interest of Westinghouse and General Electric in supplying transformers of this type. I would suggest you discuss this point with Dave when you meet with him next week. V. B. Papageorge DSW 174873 STLCOPCB4049394 I W. B.

R. Richard D. Wood The use of PCBs in investment casting waxes by the Yates Manufacturing Company of Chicago is well-known through the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. The agency does not approve of tills application but to date is frustrated because no legislation exists which will permit them to force Yates Manufacturing to discontinue the ppactlce. This incident is being used by EPA as a good example of why they need the Toxic Substances Control Act which is currently in committee in Congress. - The EPA has chosen to pursue this matter by awarding a contract to a firm which is currently analyzing air, water and soil samples near the users of this type of wax. The EPA has also reported the possibility of potential harm to the employees of these installations to QSHA. . You may be interested to know that Yates Manufacturing is using decachloro biphenyl and has exclusive license from Caffaro for the application in waxes in the U. S. W. B.

The application you described is unknown to me and since pentachlorophenol does not readily dissolve in water, it would appear that very little protection would result. In wood preserving applications Penta is applied in an oil solu tion under high temperature and pressure to assure deep impregnation of the wood to be protected. These conditions certainly do not exist in your boat. It is not surprising that you cannot find a source of Penta crystals since this material la intended for industrial applications. ' - .. ( Because of its chemical nature, Penta is registered with the SPA for use as a pesticide for certain applications. If improperly used environmental pollution can occur; therefore I do not'recommend it for thei application you have described.

Zygmunt A. Wachta Electrical Engineer CTi - Cryogenics Kelvin Park' 266 Second Avenue Waltham, Massachusetts 02154 Dear Mr. Wachtai . Zn response to your letter dated December 30, I have the following comments to offer* Monsanto has discontinued the marketing of Zhermlnol FB-1 and PR-2. We still manufacture some of the Aroclors are! these are sold only to manufacturers of capacitors and transformers in which they are used as dielectric fluids. Z regret Z cannot send you a list of our customers because * we have a policy of not divulging customer identities without their permission. You have indicated that some of pour equipment uses transformers and capacitors. I would suggest you inquire from your suppliers if polychlorinated biphenyls are used in the capacitors and transformers you purchase from them. , Since all other applications of PCBs have been discontinued for several years, the likelihood that PCBs will be present in other parts of your equipment would be very remote. I hope this information is useful to you. Zf Z can be of further service please let me know. Sincerely, WBPtpw W. B.
