Box 9176 Corpus Christi, TX. 78469 Attn: Mr. Richard E. Schneck, Plant Manager Dear Mr. Schneck: Enclosed you will find citations for violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) which may have accompanying proposed penalties. Also enclosed is a booklet which explains your rights and responsibilities under the Act. If you have any questions about the enclosed citations and penalties, I would welcome further discussion in person or by telephone. You will note on page 5 of the booklet that, for violations which you do not contest, you must (1) notify this office promptly by letter that you have taken appropriate corrective action within the time set forth on the citation; and (2) pay any penalties assessed. Please inform me of the abatement steps you have taken and of their dates together with adequate supporting documentation; e.g., drawings or photographs of corrected con ditions, purchase/work orders related to abatement actions, air sampling results. This information will allow us to close the case. As indicated on page 6 of the booklet, you may request an informal confer ence with me during the 15-working-day notice of contest period. During such an informal conference you may present any evidence or vies which you believe would support an adjustment to the citation or the penalty. If you are considering a request for an informal conference to discuss any issues related to this Citation and Notification of Penalty, please keep in mind that a written letter of intent to contest must be submitted to the Area Director within 15 working days of your receipt of the citation. The running of this contest period is not interrupted by an informal conference. Therefore, you must take care to schedule the informal conference early enough in the 15-day period to allow time to contest subsequent to the informal conference, should you decide to do so. CH/W-001204 If you decide to request an informal conference, please complete the attached notice at the bottom of this letter and post it next to the citat ions as soon as the time, date, and place of the informal conference have been determined. Be sure to bring to the conference with you any and all supporting documen tation of existing conditions as well as of any abatement steps taken thus far. If conditions warrant, we can enter into an informal settlement agree ment which amicably resolves this matter without litigation or contest. cc: Mr. Allan Tomlinson, President -2- CH/W-001205 NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES An informal conference has been scheduled with OSHA to discuss the citations issued on 11/19/87.
