Klimchock Acting Regional Industrial Hygienist Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources 505 State Office Building 300 Liberty Avenue Pittsburgh, Pa. 15222 Dear Mr. Klimchock: We have received your letter of July 11, 1972 which reported the results of the inspection of the Carborundum plant at Latrobe on July 7, 1972. The mandatory requirement that we obtain approval for the recirculation of air in the plant plaster shop was what we indicated we wanted to do to Mr. Petraitis during his inspection. We have since decided that the installation of an exhaust duct from the dust collector exhaust directly to the roof and outside air would be possible and make the special recirculation approval unnecessary in this instance. We plan to complete the exhaust duct installation by 9-1-72. I trust that this action is satisfactory and will eliminate the need for the special approval request forms for this installation.
