TO: PLANT SUPERINTENDENT/DEPARTMENT HEAD RE: CHEMICAL EXPOSURE INDEX AUDIT
The CEI Audit will be a part of the Louisiana Division Consolidated Audit Program. The audit will be the responsibility of the Superintendent/Department Head.
The purpose of this audit is to provide an in-depth review of our Louisiana Division plant facilities that produce or handle quantities of materials which could, if released, possibly cause injury to persons outside our fence lines. The audit will be reviewing the section(s) of the plant that have a Chemical Exposure Index (CEI) of 100 or greater.
You should start your preparations by reviewing the attached Chemical Exposure Index Guide and developing or updating the C.E.I.'s for your
plant's various chemicals and potential loss of containment scenarios. You will need to complete and send a copy of the review package to the Audit Facilitator ten (10) calendar days prior to the audit.
A CEI Functional Audit Team, Major Manager and a Superintendent from another department is required for areas with a CEI of 100-300. In addition, a U.S. Area Loss Prevention Representative will be required for a CEI of 300 or greater. Also, a Corporate Representative will be required for a CEI above 400. A CEI of 100 requires a review by the Superintendent and Major Manager only.
NOTE:
Prompt response to the CEI calculations is necessary. A 30 day pre-audit notification to the U.S. Area will be necessary for some areas. Contact Jim Gibson at Ext. 8103, for a U.S. Area Loss Prevention Representative required on C.E.I.'s of greater than 300. Jim should also be contacted for a Functional Audit Team if the CEI is 100 or greater.
Attached is a guide including instructions on what is needed to prepare for the audit and how the audit will be conducted. If there are any questions concerning the audit, please contact me.

CEINDEX - CHEMICAL EXPOSURE INDEX AND RADII OF EXPOSURE PROGRAM
1.0 INTRODUCTION
CEINDEX is a program to determine the Chemical Exposure Index and Radii of Exposure for possible chemical release incident. The output from this program is suitable documentation for CEl Audits.
The Chemical Exposure Index and Radii of Exposure are for internal Dow use only. The purpose of these calculations is to focus attention on the potential chemical release incidents of greatest concern. The review will provide the opportunity for recommendations, improvements and concurrences from the appropriate knowledgeable people.

CHEMICAL EXPOSURE INDEX
The CEl formula takes into account the five most important factors which influence the magnitude of exposure from any potential release: toxicity, quantity, distance to area of concern, molecular weight and process variables (i.e., temperature, pressure, reactivity). For each potential release, the CEl is calculated for three areas of concern: 1) Public, 2) Other Dow facilities and 3) Other businesses. The CEl to the public is the basis for establishing both the frequency and depth of process review.
The Chemical Exposure Index is intended to be used as a simple tool for ranking potential toxic hazards in a comparable and quantitative manner.
RADII OF EXPOSURE
Simple atmospheric dispersion models are used to estimate the potential impact on the surrounding areas. The Radius of Exposure defines the maximum downwind distance which may be affected by the toxic release. There are two different values to be considered for each release. These are 1) the EEPG concentration (Emergency Exposure Planning Guidelines) and 2) the Odor Threshold. The Radii of Exposure are calculated for either of these values for three atmospheric conditions typical to the area. When EEPG concentrations are used, the program calculates the Radii of Exposure for concentrations equal to 1, 10 and 100 times the EEPG concentration. The program only calculates the Radii to the Odor Threshold when that value is used.
7
DO A 121422 CONFIDENTIAL
The Radii of Exposure for the neutral atmospheric conditions should be used to plot the 3 EEPG concentration circles required for the CEI Audit. If the Radius of Exposure to the Odor Threshold or the EEPG concentration (IX) at neutral atmospheric conditions is greater than the distance to the public, then the scenario should be included in the CAER program (Midas System). The other radii of exposure can be used as a guide for estimating downwind impact of a particular release. 2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION The CEINDEX program is user-friendly. The program can be run interactively, where the user is prompted for the required information or the program can be run from an input file. The user must specify keyboard entry or file entry at the beginning of the program. The program input and results are stored In the following files.
Input: F11ename.dat Output: Filename.lls The program Is set up to read and write either metric or britlsh units. The user must specify the units desired at the beginning of the program. The default units for each piece of Input data required is indicated at the end of each question, enclosed In parenthesis.

NOTES:
1) The discharge quantity Is the amount that Is released in 15 minutes regardless of the duration of the release. For example, if 1000 lbs. are released In 1 minute then the discharge quantity is 1000 lbs. If 4000 lbs. are released In one hour at a constant rate then the discharge quantity for 15 minutes Is also 1000 lbs.
Z) Release Duration - The program uses this time and the discharge quantity to determine a release rate. If the release lasts less than 15 minutes. Input the actual minutes used to determine discharge quantity. If the release can last longer than 15 minutes, use the
default value of 15 minutes NOT the actual release duration.

4.0 RESULTS
A summary of the Chemical Exposure Index calculation and the Radii of Exposure calculations will appear on the user's screen. The complete program results In a suitable documentation form will be stored in the output file specified (filename.1 is). The file will contain the input data, a summary of the Chemical Exposure Index and a table of the Radii of Exposure for vapor concentrations 1, 10 and 100 times the EEPG concentration or for the Odor Threshold for the chemical released. The Radii of Exposure has been calculated for three different atmospheric conditions which typically occur in Texas Division.
PLEASE NOTE: The program has a maximum cutoff distance of 5 miles. If the predicted downwind distance exceeds 5 miles, the program will print out that the radii of exposure exceeds 5 miles and will include a message stating that: "The calculated distance exceeds the limits of dispersion model coefficients. Contact Process Engineering, if the actual predicted distances are needed."
Remember: This is a simple, empirical rating system to be used for Internal Dow use only.
5.0 EMERGENCY EXPOSURE PLANNING GUIDELINES (EEPG)
The Emergency Exposure Planning Guideline Is the maximum airborne concentration of a material which can be tolerated by an Individual for an hour, without incurring permanent health effects or symptoms which would Interfere with their ability to take appropriate action. Current known EEPG concentrations are Included In this manual in Section 1S.0 and are also supplied with the CEI audit information. Documentation will be maintained by the H&ES Information Center.
.0 ODOR THRESHOLD
The Odor Threshold Is a value based on detection by odor. This value is Important because It Is the lowest concentration that can be smelled Indicating a chemical release has occurred. Current known Odor Thresholds are Included In this manual In Section 15.0 and are also supplied with the CEI audit Information. Documentation will be maintained by the H&ES Information Center.
7.0 CHEMICAL EXPOSURE INOEX
The Chemical Exposure Index Is the value obtained by multiplying the five risk factors described below. The factors are categorized Into directly proportional scale numbers to maintain quick and simple calculations. Absolute measures of risk are not possible, but the CEI provides a means for ranking one potential hazard relative to another. The Chemical Exposure Index to the public determines the frequency and depth of review. Please note, for the CEI calculations, the non-linear or logarithmic functions normally associated with distance and the rate of dispersion are Ignored. Absolute numbers are not the objective of the CEI.

8.0 ACUTE HEALTH HAZARD FACTOR
The Acute Health Hazard Factor combines the toxicity and the volatility properties of a substance. To assure consistency, the Industrial Hygiene department will issue toxicity data as Emergency Exposure Planning Guidelines (EEPG) in parts per million. The Health Hazard Factor may be determined by dividing the EEPG by the relative volatility. Relative volatility equals vapor pressure (mm Hg <? 25 deg C) divided by 760 mm Hg. For gases, the relative volatility is equal to 1.
9.0 PROCESS PENALTY FACTOR
The process penalty factor Is based on pr.-ess conditions which could generate large amounts of vapor In relatively short periods of time. The two largest driving forces are 1) pressure or overpressure (ie, liquids well above their boiling points or high pressure gasses) and 2) run-away reactions. Therefore, if either condition exists, a penalty Is applied. If the pressure on the system is over 10 psig (1.75 atm absolute), use 2 for this factor. If the material is, or can become, thermally unstable below 100 deg C, or Is reactive with common materials like air, water, or other possible contaminants, use 2 for this factor. If both factors apply, use 4. If neither apply use 1.
10.0 VAPOR QUANTITY FACTOR
The vapor quantity factor Is based on the maximum weight of material which could be released as a gas, or could be vaporized during 15 minutes of the worst case situation. Please be sure to select the absolute worst form of pressure, temperature, mechanical or human failure, run-away reaction or contamination that Is possible. Do not however, arbitrarily assume 100% of the contaminant will be released and vaporized In 15 minutes. Two factors to be considered when determining the vapor quantity factor are: 1) A credible scenario for a release and 2) The rate at which toxic material would be release In such a scenario. The scenario chosen should be a realistic worst case and not the absolute worst case that could conceivably happen.
Some "quick and easy" equations for determining the maximum discharge rate through a nozzle have been Included In section 14.0. The vaporization rate of a liquid spill can be determined using the program EVAP, which is available on the cluster system. To obtain an Instruction manual, type In the following command at the $ prompt:
01395SROOT:[DISPJEVAP_HELP.TXT
Other methods are Included In the "Chemical Exposure Index" manual.

A 121426 CONFIDE; NT TAL
11.0 DISTANCE FACTOR
The distance factor is based on the distance between the point of release and 1) the public
2) other Dow plants 3) other businesses.
The public is officially defined as residences, collecting points of people (1e, schools, hotels, churches, shopping malls) or frequently used public roads.
12.0 MOLECULAR WEIGHT FACTOR
The molecular weight factor Is based on the molecular weight of the chemical released. The molecular weight relates directly to the density of the vapor cloud which Is inversely proportional to the rate of dispersion.
13.0
METEROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
The meterologlcal conditions at the time of a toxic release will affect the transport and diffusion of the vapor cloud Into the atmosphere. Atmospheric turbulence Is the most common means for quantifying the meterologlcal conditions so that the affected area can be determined. Atmospheric turbulence can be divided Into two groups, mechanical turbulence and convective turbulence. Mechanical turbulence 1$ generated by fluctuations In wind direction and the motion of the air In response to surface roughness (1e, buildings, trees, etc.). A high wind speed with very little fluctuation In wind direction will tend to carry the release to a greater distance downwind and disperse It over a narrow crosswind distance. Fluctuations In wind direction tend to spread the release over a larger crosswind distance, thereby decreasing the concentration downwind. Likewise, surface roughness tends to spread the release over a larger volume of air, thereby decreasing the concentration downwind. Convective turbulence Is caused by thermal effects ie, surface heating and cooling.
There are three main categories of atmospheric stability; unstable, neutral and stable. An atmosphere that 1$ well mixed due to moderate to strong winds or one that Is overcast, Is considered to be 'neutral'. The thermal effects are negligible and the temperature decreases slightly with increasing height. When solar radiation causes the air near the surface of the earth to heat up and rise the atmosphere Is considered to be 'unstable'. This condition Is particularly common during periods of low wind speeds. As night falls, the cooling air near the surface of the earth tends to shrink and settle, again, especially at the lower wind speeds. There Is very little turbulence In this case and this atmospheric condition is considered to be 'stable'. Texas Operations Is In a 'neutral' condltlon-approximately 49% of the time, in a stable condition approximately 29% of the time and In an unstable condition approximately 22% of the time.

EEPG AND ODOR THRESHOLD VALUES FOR THE CE1 CALCULATION
EEPG VALUES
The following Emergency Exposure Planning Guidelines (EEPG) are based on the official EEPG values issued by the Corporate Occupational Health Board and the additional tentative EEPG values used in the Texas Operations' MIDAS system. These values are used for the Chemical Exposure Index (CEI) calculation. The CEI calculation can be performed with the CEINDEX computer program (described in another handout).
This EEPG list is believed to include the majority of the chemicals for which CEI calculations will be necessary. However, there are many materials which do not appear on the list. For chemicals without an EEPG. jjs the factor of 3 times the Dow Industrial.Hygiene Guide (IHG) as the -"EEPG". for the CEI calculation. IHGs consist of non-Dow sources of exposure limits such as the TLVs, PELs and WEELs as well as the Dow sources. The IHGs are listed on the Chemical and Physical Agent Inventory which is located In the plant Industrial Hygiene Manual. If an IHG is not available, contact the plant Industrial Hygienist or Tracy Parsons (x3784). The plant will need to provide a Material Safety Data Sheet when making a request for an IHG or EEPG.
Judgement should be used when deciding to do the CEI calculation; not all materials require a CEI calculation. For example, solids or materials with a very low vapor pressure and low toxicity concern do not need to be included In the plant CEI calculation.
ODOR THRESHOLD VALUES
The Odor Threshold for each of the chemicals Is also provided on the attached 11st. This value Is based on detection by odor or irritation whichever Is lower. Like the EEPGs, the Odor Threshold values are primarily useful as planning tool. When the Odor Threshold values are used In place of the EEPG values In the CEINDEX computer program, they indicate the distance at which a plant release might be detected, especially by the public. This calculation Is especially useful if the Odor Threshold is significantly lower than the EEPG value.

EMERGENCY PLANNING GUIDELINES: EEPGs AND ERPGS
Attached is a complete updated list ot EEPGs and ERPGs. There have been manv requests tor these values tor use in the Chemical Exposure index 1CEI) calculations being done globally tor ail chemicals at each Dow piant.
Since there are relatively tew ot these formally established values, we have been recommending the following approach.
1. Use an established EEPG/ERPG when available.
2. Use the CEI Health Hazard Scale Number shown on the enclosed list, when available.
Use the workplace exposure guideline (Dow IHG, ACGIH TLY or AIHA WEED as the basis tor a tentative emergency planning guideline. If the chemical has a STEL or Ceiling value, use that. If it does not, use three times the TWA value.
4. It no workplace guideline exists, reconsider the need for an EEPG vaiue or CEI calculation. Is there sufficient vapor pressure and volume ror the chemical to be of concern as a potential accidental release to a neighboring community?
5. If none of the above options provides the needed information, contact me. I will try to suggest an appropriate Health Hazard Scaie Number tor the CEI calculation but will need to know the vapor pressure or the chemical.
Please distribute this information, as needed, within your area ot responsibility. It is important that the various Dow iocanons use consistent emergency guideline values for the same chemicals. If you have questions about this recommended approach, let me know.

Furthermore, since tnese values nave oeen oenveo as planning and emergency resoor.se guidelines, not as exposure guidelines, they do not contain tne safety factors normally incorp rated mto ?xoosure guidelines, instead, they are estimates, oy tne committee, of the tnresnoios aoove wmen mere would oe an unacceptaoie lixeiihooo of ooserving tne defineo effects. The estimates are eased on me avaiiaoie cata summarized in me documentation, in some cases wnere the oata are limited, tne uncertainty of tnese estimates is large. Users of the ERPG values are strongiy encouraged to review carefully me documentation oefore applying tnese values.
in developing tnese ERPGs. human expenence has been empnasizetrto tne extent data are avaname. Since tms type of information is rarely available, however, and. wnen available, usually is only for i w ievei exposures, animal exposure data most freouentiy form the oasis for tnese values. The most pertinent i nformation is derived from acute inhalation toxicity studies tnat nave included clinical observations anc nistooatnotogy. The focus is on tne highest levels not snowing the effects described by tne definitions or tne EnPG ieveis. Next, data from reoeat tnnaiation exposure stuoies with clinical observations anc nistooatnoi gy are considered. Following tnese m imoortance are tne basic, typically acute, studies wnere mortality is tne maior focus. When inhalation toxicity oata are either unavailable or limited, data from studies involving otner routes of exposure will be considered. More value is given to tne more ngorousiv conducted studies, and data from snort-term studies are considered to be more useful in estimating pos sible effects from a single 1-hr exposure. Finally, if mechanistic or aose-resoonse data are available, reare aootieo. on a case by case basis, as appropriate.
it is recognized that there is a range of times that one might consider for tnese guidelines: however it
was tne committee's decisi n to focus its efforts on only one time period. This dectsi n was oaseo on me availability of toxicology information and a reasonable estimate for an exposure scenario. Users wno may choose to extrao (ate these values t othertimeoen os are cautioned t review the documentation fuiiv since suen extrapolations tend to n to only over very limited time frames, if at all.

PREVIOUS REVIEW STATUS Listed Below are the Recommendations from the Previous CEI Audit Review. The Comments and suggestions from the review along with the Plant's Responses are attached. 1. utilise Division Chlorine for disinfection of potable water with 150# bottles for bach up. A One inch line was run and 150# bottles are employeed for back up for disinfection of potable water. 2. Consider mounting pressure regulator on one ton cylinder if it is to continue suppling chlorine to the potable water filters. On ton cylinders were discontinued to the potable water filters. 3. Find out about heat tracing. Heat tracing is the self limiting kind with a maximum temperature off 200 F. 4. Check out analyser shack. Analyser shack has been properly labeled. The chlorine monitor in the analyser shack signal has been routed to alarm on the KOD. 5. Chlorine to block 35 is via pipeline. Consider upgrading block 35's chlorinator and supply system. Chi rine monitors have been installed at block 35 both in the shack and around the chlorine piping. An EBV has been installed at block 35 which can be closed in block 18 if there are problems. Plans are in place to modify the chlorine piping going to block 35 t reduce the pressure to 20 psig from 140 to reduce the amount
f chlorine that could be released. 6. Block 40 has chlorine cylinders - install signs indicating that chi rine is present. A sign has been installed.
