ili O ANALYTICAL PROGRAM (4/70) FOR POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYL ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM <U rr The Applied Sciences program for the 3/31/70 Aroclor Environmental Management Plan is outlined by actions shown below. The projects indicated are supportive to the objectives given in the Management Plan. The actions represent work currently in hand. It is e x pected that this program will be revised continuously on a priority basis consistent with the changing needs of the Management Plan. Man Weeks Target Date Objective 1 - Reduce and effectivelycontrol the PCB content of all effluent fromMonsanto pi a n t s . 9/1/70 Action 1) Monitor WGK Mississippi River water, sediment and plant effluent for PCB. 8 2) Transfer GC methodology to WGK. 1 V1 (Ji> 3) Determine PCB residues in fish from 4 Choccolocco .Creek at Anniston. 13 Objective 2 - Inform customers of the PCB problem and the importance of preventing environmental pollution both at their pla nts or by their products. 5/1/70 NV 027172 740427 Objective 3 - Develop products to replace Aroclors for those uses in which Aroclors have been demonstrated to be harmful to the environment and cannot be prevented from escaping into the environment.
