D. F. Janes ASBESTOS INSULATION DEMOLITION AND REMOVAL
The two attached pieces of correspondence are selfexplanatory. Briefly stated, OSHA is requesting that we notify
their local office when we conduct asbestos demolition or removal. This request pertains to work performed by Koch or a contractor.
Your cooperation in providing me with an "early warning" of
such work will be appreciated. I will then notify OSHA of our planned work.

Attn: Mr. Dale James, Safety Manager
Dear Mr. James:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is currently conducting a National Emphasis Program for programmed health inspections of estab lishments where asbestos is used, stored or processed. Also included in this National Emphasis Program are any sites involving asbestos demolition and removal activities. (OSHA Instruction CPL 2.60B)
Currently OSHA receives notices regarding the asbestos demolition/removal activities from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Air Control Board, but in an effort to improve its response time OSHA re spectfully requests that your company notify us of any asbestos demo lition or removal activities on your site.
OSHA would like for you to also inform your asbestos demolition/removal contractors of the assistance available from our local office. The local OSHA Office functioning as a full service office resource center will gladly meet with any asbestos demolition/removal contractors prior to their scheduled work. The 29 CFR 1910.1001 Asbestos Standard will be fully discussed including viewing of a video tape and/or slides. Also in this session will be a discussion of respiratory protection, other PPE and specific monitoring requirements.
For notification purposes the address of our office is as follows:
U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA Government Plaza 400 Mann Street, Room 300 Corpus Christi, TX 78401 (512) 888-3257
Together we can make the workplace safer and more healthful.
Sincerely,

REMOVAL METHOD
Every effort will be made to restrict the amount of asbestos emissions. The majority of the removal will be carried out in a remote area of the refinery. A small amount of asbestos may be removed in operating units which will be shut down for turnaround or revamp work. The asbestos will be wet down with water and bagged wet.
DISPOSAL SITE
Arrangements have been made with Texas Ecologists, Inc. of Robstown, Texas to handle disposal of the properly identified sacks of asbestos contaminated material.
REPLACEMENT MATERIAL
All material used to replace removed insulation will be new and asbestos-free.
