Post Office Drawer 521 Corpus Christi, Texas 78403 Dear Mr. Johnston: On June 4, 1985 this office was contacted regarding several bags of asbestos waste that were left at the Corpus Christi Westside Landfill. Subsequent discussions with City personnel and Ms. Sharon Sirgo of yoefr staff revealed that the material had been removed by a contractor, Gillman Insulation, working at your plant. This office had not received prior notification of the demolition and disposal of asbestos waste as required by the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS), 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M. A copy is attached for your information. This is a violation of Texas Air Control Board General Rule 101.20 which requires compliance with NESHAPS provisions. The Texas Clean Air Act provides for possible civil penalties of $50 to $1000 for each day and each act of violation. A reply is requested within ten (10) working days which describes the corrective action taken to preclude further such violations. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.

Post Office Drawer 521 Corpus Christi, Texas 78403 Dear Mr. Johnston: On June 4, 1985 this office was contacted regarding several bags of asbestos waste that were left at the Corpus Christi Westside Landfill. Subsequent discussions with City personnel and Ms. Sharon Sirgo of yotlr staff revealed that the material had been removed by a contractor, Gil 1man Insulation, working at your plant. This office had not received prior notification of the demolition and disposal of asbestos waste as required by the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS), 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M. A copy is attached for your information. This is a violation of Texas Air Control Board General Rule 101.20 which requires compliance with NESHAPS provisions. The Texas Clean Air Act provides for possible civil penalties of $50 to $1000 for each day and each act of violation. A reply is requested within ten (10) working days which describes the corrective action taken to preclude further such violations. If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.
