I'll ask you specifically later about your work history. But just generally what are you trained to do, and what have you done with them? 1 started in project engineering and then moved into the environmental engineering arena and then into the environmental safety and health arena, which I'm currently part of.
Tell me if you would what your current position is with Solutia. I'm the environmental safety and health coordinator for the Queeny plant, which is here in St. Louis. And have you ever had any sort of home office responsibilities, or have you always been at a plant?

Page 13
MR. COX: 1 think he wants to know where the samples came from.
MR. STEWART: Yes. Okay. The sampling was done in areas around Anniston, not necessarily the Anniston plant. You are saying samples were taken. Maybe I'm confusing you. The testing or the analytical stuff was performed -- of the samples was performed at Dayton? 1 believe so, yes, sir. And the samples were taken -- You say not around the plant. Were they taken in Snow Creek and taken in Choccolocco Creek? Yes, sir. And were some of those samples that yoi looked at or the documents that you looked at that referred to samples that were done in '83 or '86 -- was that related to a dredging project that was done in Choccolocco Creek or was proposed in Choccolocco Creek?

When did you do that? First, when did you graduate from Vermont?
1969. And did you go to work at that point in time -Yes, sir. -- with Monsanto? And where did you first go to work with them? It was in Springfield, Massachusetts. What was the plant? The plant was Indian Orchard plant, Monsanto's Indian Orchard plant. What particular thing did you do there? 1 was a project engineer in plant engineering. And in that capacity can you just tell us briefly what you did for them? Capital and addition projects and started a production area and then moved

1 didn't understand the question. Your training, as 1 understand it, is a mechanical engineer. So when you approached the environmental side, 1 assume you did it from that standpoint; is that correct or incorrect? Yes, sir. When did you go into that position? Late '69 or early '70. I'm not sure exactly when it was. So you apparently hadn't been with Monsanto long before they put you to work in that field? That's correct.

13 areas that you have concentrated on at
14 A. They range anywhere from two days to 14
these seminars down through the years.
15 three days or a week.
15 You have indicated you go at least
16 Q. And are those --
16 annually and perhaps sometimes two and
17 A. It is --
17 three times a year.
18 Q. Go ahead.
18 A. Uh-huh (indicating yes).
19 A. They vary in lengths. There is no set

And what about the two semester courses; 2
that you took?
3
They paid for that also.
4
All right. And would you give us some
5
idea of the kind of entities that hold
6
the seminars that you attend on a
7
regular basis? Are these industry-type
8
seminars that are held and conducted,
9
governmental or a combination of both or 10
universities? Can you give us some idea 11
of that?
12
They are all of those.
13
All of the three that 1 have mentioned? 14
Plus some consultants provide training 15
seminars and training workshops around 16 Q.
different subject matters as well.
17
All right.
18
It is the whole realm, some of them
19
trade associations --
20
And are -
21 A.
-- in addition.
22 Q.
Are those consultants called in from
23 A.
Page 33
involved in hazardous waste management. I'm involved in air pollution control, and I'm involved in water pollution control. And I've taken sessions in all those subjects matters so that 1 can maintain some knowledge in the areas. 1 have done worker's compensation classes because 1 manage the worker's compensation area at the Queeny plant. Industrial hygiene basic understanding, because 1 was involved in that. 1 have been to some occupational health seminars because 1 have a responsibility around that in my current position as well. So 1 cover all areas.
Now, before you went to the Anniston plant, had you received training in -You had obviously received the training that you mentioned at the two universities -Uh-huh (indicating yes).

When was it you went -- is it Rensselaer? It was RPI of Hartford. It was an extension course that was offered in Hartford, Connecticut. It was RPI out of Rensselaer, New York.
When did you complete that, just in your best judgment -1 don't recall. It was mid '70s.
So it was before you went to Anniston? Yes, sir. Is the same true for the course you took at the University of Massachusetts? Yes, sir. It might have been the early '70s. 1 don't recall exactly when. It was in that time frame. Now, you mentioned you had training at seminars in hazardous waste management -Uh-huh (indicating yes). -- whether it was air or water pollution or 1 assume just the management of the waste facility itself.

courses. There are all different kinds. Now, hazardous waste management, had you
had a number of courses in that before you went to the Anniston plant? Not a large number.
Had you had any at all? 1 don't recall if 1 had --1 think 1 had had some before 1 went down there. Hazardous waste management regulations were in the -- you know, came out in the late '70s. So there wasn't a whole lot of training prior to the regulations being promulgated in the late '70s, '78, '79, '80. But you had had some? 1 had had some, yes, sir. And what about water and -Yes, sir. 1 had some water pollution control design projects while 1 was in corporate engineering. Tell me about those. 1 was -- assisted one of our corporate specialists in the design of a waste

at it later. What is that product made from, Mr. --
1 don't know. -- Cheever? It was a material that was purchased by those two sites and brought into the facility or made at those two facilities and shipped out in either barge or rail car. 1 don't know how it is made. What exactly did y'all design there to take care of -- Was it vapors coming off the product while it sat on barges? Is that what it was or -The material was loaded into dedicated barges or rail cars, and we were to capture the vapors that were coming off, as putting liquid in, vapors are being displaced from either the barge or the rail car, where it would be conveyed into a thermo-oxidizer for treatment. And we designed the delivery system from

7 with a response to, or did someone tell
8 A. S-i-n-i-s-e. And he and 1 worked
8 you they wanted you to design an
9 together to obtain the air permits
9 incinerator? How did that happen?
10 necessary to site the unit in Illinois.
10 A. It was a corporate decision to look at
11 Q. Did y'all get those air permits?
11 the feasibility and the cost and could
12 A. Yes, sir.
12 it be done to provide in-house corporate
13 Q. And did you file with a regulatory
13 incineration as a treatment technology
14 agency to get those air permits?
14 for waste disposal.
15 A. Yes, sir.

MR. STEWART: Off the record. (Discussion held off record.)
Mr. Cheever, you were telling me about the incinerators at Bridgeport and Baton Rouge and Deerpark, Texas. Can you tell me what kind of waste Monsanto was shipping to those plants --1 mean, those incinerating facilities at that time? No. 1 really can't because 1 was not, you know, located at a site. Manufacturing byproducts and the waste off chemical manufacturing, 1 guess, but 1 don't know exactly what was being sent.

Are you familiar with that process?
No, sir, I'm not. Did you know at the time that you were working on this project for the Krummrich plant or become familiar with the fact they had an incinerator facility there to dispose of liquid PCBs? No, I'm not. OrPCB 1 wasn't aware of that. As a person who has been involved in the environmental aspects of PCBs -- not PCBs, but the company itself for a

Now, Mr. Cheever, how did you transport the waste from the production area, the parathion waste from the production area to the landfill? There were dumpster containers that were* located in production areas to collect trash materials for the landfill. We had a truck come along. When the dumpster was full, they were notified and pick up the container and transport it directly across from the plant site, across Highway 202 to the landfill and deposit in the cell and return to the plant in the same way.
Okay. So it wasn't drummed up. It was just taken in the back of a pickup?
No, it was not a pickup. It was a dump truck? No. It wasn't a dump truck. It was a dumpster. A dumpster there? There were separate containers that were sitting in it, like -- Dumpster is the

1 don't know of any other use for them. Okay. Now, you mentioned another product that was perhaps an intermediate or relative of the parathion family that y'all made there. Can you tell us what that product was, PNP 1 believe? Para-nitrophenol. What was that? Para-nitrophenol is a raw material that was used in -Production of parathion? Yes, sir. That is one of its uses and acetaminophen, Tylenol. Was there any residue from that manufacturing process that y'all landfilled during the time you were there in the environmental area? There were production wastes, yes. There were wastes from that production area that were landfilled. Did y'all landfill them on site there at the plant? Yes, sir.

It was a very large trash container and a special truck that picked it up on the back with, like, hook arms, if you will, and picked the container up and carried it up and dumped it and returned that same container in that identical location and replaced it.
There was after 202 was constructed? Yeah. 202 was there when 1 got there. Do you know or did anybody tell you at any point in time what happened to any cell that contained parathion at the time that 202 was constructed? Did anybody give you a history of that? Yes, sir. Who did? Jerry Brown. What did he tell you? 1 don't remember. 1 remember hearing about it, the fact that when they built the highway there was a cell that was

13 anybody ever said it had to do with any 13 management thing. What did the ADEM
14 other chemical or toxic chemical waste 14 representative do when either he or she
15 that y'all had buried out there?
15 came to your facility for that one day
16 A. No, sir. My recollection was it was
16 every two years as far as solid waste?
17 just parathion and parathion waste.
17 A. As 1 recall, they had a check list,
18 Q. During the time that you were there from 18
multiple page list. And it was kind of
19 '83 until '89 you've mentioned the
19 start at the top and show me, you know,
20 people that you worked with at ADEM. 20 prove -- answer these questions, you

22 or your facility and work with you on
22 if the yesses -- they would be tested to
23 site?
23 prove you do it. Here is the proof. If

3 come in and take samples. And it seems 3 And that was -- My recollection, that is
4 like, at 1 recall, we had an annual air
4 kind of the way it worked.
5 inspection as well. And my recollection
5 Q. Now, what about the sample? Did they
6 was -- is that the hazardous waste
6 take any samples at any point in time?
7 inspections were done routinely, but it
7 A. 1 don't remember that they did.
8 wasn't annually. It was kind of
8 Q. Did they ever take any soil samples or
9 unannounced, but 1 don't recall what the 9 water samples at any point in time in
10 frequency is, but they came from time to 10 and around the landfill or in and around
11 time to review records and do a
11 the plant during those two years that
12 compliance check against the permit.
12 these people came, every two years that

they came while you were there?
14 talking about the solid waste units in

15 the landfill?
15 Q. What about air? Any air samples taken
16 A. I'm sorry. Yes, sir.
16 by the arm of ADEM that might control
17 Q. How often would they come, every two 17
that particular part?
18 years?
18 A. 1 don't recall them taking any air
19 A. 1 don't recall there being a set
19 samples. We did some boiler stack

20 testing at one point in time, and they
21 that kind of frequency. 1 don't really
21 came and observed that activity. But 1
22 remember.
22 don't recall them taking any samples.
23 Q. That would be the solid waste branch of 23 Q. That's the only thing you recall them

doing during the time you were there? Yes, sir. And what chemical did that have to do with? It was involved with the permitting of a steam generator, a boiler to generate steam. So it would be the off gasses of the combustion of fossil fuel. What about the water sampling? Water samples, they would set up a sampler at discharge 001 and take a series of twenty-four-hour composites. And 1 believe it was, like, two or three days. That is what my recollection was. And then they would also set up a sampler at the discharge of our waste water treatment facility and do the same thing, take a multiple daily -- multiple composites. How often was that done by ADEM when you were there? 1 recall it yearly. It might be been less than that, but it seems like it was

Page 92
Tell me, Mr. Cheever. Did y'all ever check either the air, water, or the ground water samples or any soil samples for PCBs during the time you were there at the plant, in those routine tests you are talking about? No. 1 don't recall looking for PCBs in the routine testing that we did.
So from '83 to '89 any of the routine testing y'all did, whether it was air, soil, or water, you don't remember checking any of those -- checking for PCBs in any of those tests? We may have. But 1 don't remember it specifically.
MR. STEWART: Mark that, if you would. (Plaintiffs' Exhibit Number One was marked for identification.)
Now, before you went to Anniston and assumed your responsibility, what did you know about the history of the plant

that frequency. What kind of testing did Monsanto do
while you were there of those things we have just mentioned, soil, air, water? 1 don't recall doing any air monitoring or sampling.
During the whole time you were there? Other than that stack, that boiler stack that 1 mentioned, and that around a fuel switch, as 1 recall.
On the waste water end, as 1 mentioned before, we took -- We had a discharge permit for direct discharge at point 001, and we had an indirect discharge into the waste water treatment plant for the City of Anniston. And we had permits around both, and there was routine testing and monitoring by permit for those two areas.
And then there was ground water monitoring around the landfill in accordance with the solid waste management permit that the site had.

and did you learn about the history of the plant? Before 1 went 1 knew very little about it.
When you got there what were you briefed on about the history of that plant? 1 was given pretty much a history of the whole site from the time when it was started and known as Swan Chemical and up to the time it was purchased by Monsanto and the fact it was the inorganic division headquarters at one point in time and told about all the products that were made - had been made there or researched at that site. So pretty much about the whole story about the site.
Mr. Cheever, who told you about the history of the products that were made there? 1 guess it was Jerry Brown, as far as 1 remember. 1 mean, he is one individual that 1 had the most interaction with
Pages 90 - 93
HARTOLDMONO014025

Page 96
1 when 1 first got there, being my boss.
1 there, what product where waste was
2 Q. Okay. And what did you know or learn 2 generated and still remained, waste from
3 from him -- not know, but learn from
3 that product still remained on the plant
4 Mr. Brown about the wastes that had been 4 site?
5 previously generated at the plant and
5 A. No. 1 don't recall anybody from
6 were still on site?
6 corporate telling me about that.
7 A. The waste that had been previously
7 Q. Did you ever have any conversation with
8 generated, is that what you said?
8 anybody in the environmental section
9 Q. Yes, sir, and were still on site.
9 that you came out of about what might
10 A. Discussion about wastes and wastes that 10 still be there at that plant site?
11 were on site would have been geared
11 A. No, sir.
12 primarily, as 1 recall, toward the
12 Q. Let me show you what's been marked as
13 existing manufacturing facilities. And
13 Plaintiffs' Exhibit One to your
14 here is what is being manufactured, and 14 deposition, which 1 provided your lawyer
15 here are the waste products, and here is 15 a copy of. 1 want you to take a look at
16 how we handle them.
16 that. These are supposedly the --
17 Q. So if it was a historical product and a
17 purport to be the cells that are located
18 product that was not being currently
18 south of 202, some of which 1 believe
19 manufactured, you weren't told about
19 you previously testified were active at
20 it --
20 the time you were there.
21 A. 1 don't recall --
21 A. Yes, sir.
22 Q. -- if there was waste generated?
22 Q. Do you recognize the map as being a map
23 A. Excuse me. 1 don't recall spending any 23 of those cells?

1 time discussing waste management
1 A. Yes, sir.
2 practices of historical products.
2 Q. Are you familiar enough with it to know
3 Q. Did anybody at corporate headquarters in 3
that is what it purports to --
4 St. Louis ever talk to you about what
4 A. Yes, sir.
5 might have been previously manufactured 5 Q. Can you tell me, Mr. Cheever, what you
6 at the Anniston plant and where waste
6 understood -- and 1 don't want to know
7 was generated that might still be
7 what you understand today, but what I'm
8 located on the plant site?
8 asking for is what you understood when
9 A. Could you ask that one again, please? 9 you took your job and worked there at
10 Q. Well, it may be a little convoluted, may 10
the Anniston plant. If you can recall
11 be --
11 it in that fashion, 1 would like for you
12 A. It seems like there was more than one 12
to tell me --
13 part to it. I'm sorry.
13 A. Sure.
14 Q. 1 told you 1 would do at that. 1 wanted
14 Q. -- what was buried over there in those
15 to keep my word, Mr. Cheever.
15 cells at the time you went there in
16
Did anybody ever tell you -- And
16 1983.
17 I'm not trying to be cute with you. 1
17 A. As best as 1 remember, cells -- cells on
18 will break it down. It is sort of
18 this west side, 2-W, 2-W-A and 3-W by
19 difficult to understand.
19 mark here, as 1 recall, were the --

1 give him a pen, Mr. Cox.
1 A. This right here (indicating).
2 MR. COX: He has one.
2 Q. Can you identify it just by spelling the
3 Q. Can you mark those cells where you
3 word out so that if one looked at this
4 understood the parathion was?

5 A. Sure. My recollection was that cell 4-W 5
deposition, they would know what you are
6 back here on the side was a nonhazardous 6 talking about?
7 waste landfill cell. That is my
7 A. Sure, sure.
8 recollection.
8 Q. Would you put a W out where the west
9 Q. Do you know what was buried there? Did 9 would be so that we can further identify
10 anyone tell you what was buried there? 10 it, on the edge of the map over there.
11 A. My recollection was it was similar to
11 A. Surely.
12 the nonhazardous material that was being 12 Q. All right. Tell me now if you would,
13 buried over here on the active side,
13 Mr. Cheever, what would be in the other
14 just that cell 4-W had reached a point
14 cells that would be to the east of these
15 where it was deemed to be full and was 15 parathion and nonhazardous waste cells.
16 closed out and moved over here
16 A. My recollection was that the cells on
17 (indicating).
17 the back side was -- One is labeled
18 Q. Okay. So cell 4-W was nonhazardous 18
active nonhazardous waste, and then we
19 material?
19 put -- And we put in -- the cells to the
20 A. That's my recollection, yes, sir.
20 north of that were hazardous --
21 Q. Now, did the parathion -- to go back to 21
hazardous waste as defined at that time
22 that, did the parathion cells include
22 that were put in cell --
23 cell 1-W?
23 Q. Hazardous waste?
Page 99
Page 101
1 A. 1 don't remember.
1 A. -- 5-E, 1 guess the number is.
2 Q. Okay. So you are saying 2-W, 2-W-A anc 2 Q. 4-E and --
3 3-W were the parathion; is that your
3 A. 4-E and 5-E.
4 recollection of it?
4 Q. Do you know what it was?
5 A. That's my recollection. 1 don't
5 A. It was the parathion wastes and the
6 remember what 1 -W had been. It
6 parathion intermediate wastes from the
7 seemed --1 don't remember. 1 can
7 generation of those products in the
8 speculate, but that's --
8 plant site.
9 Q. All right, sir. Now, what about the
9 Q. So I'm to understand from your
10 other cells? You said the western side 10 understanding of what it was that cell
11 of this landfill. Are you talking about
11 2-W, 2-W-A, 3-W, and 4-E and 5-E were
12 the parathion cells and the nonhazardous 12 all parathion?
13 cells and 1-W all being on the western
13 A. That's my understanding.
14 side, what y'all consider to be the
14 Q. And cell 3-E, what --
15 western side of that landfill?
15 A. 1 don't recall. 1 really don't
16 A. Yes, sir.
16 remember.
17 Q. And this is located, as 1 understand it,
17 Q. You don't remember what it was?
18 south of 202?
18 A. 1 don't remember what it was.
19 A. Yes. The roadway kind of separated east 19 Q. And what about cell 2-E and 1-E?
20 and west.
20 A. Well, I'm sorry. You said 3-E first? 1
21 Q. And the road -- Would you just mark
21 was looking at these other two. 3-E is
22 the road so that one, if they looked at
22 where the nonhazardous materials
23 it -
23 generated at the site went. 1 -E and

1 2-E, 1 --1 may have been told, but 1
1 or west?
2 don't recall what they were used for.
2 A. Initially it came down the side of the
3 Q. Were you made aware in your
3 mountain, which is kind of flowing to
4 conversations with Mr. -- Well, 1 will
4 the north until it got to 202, as 1
5 withdraw that question.
5 recall. And then there was drainage
6
So you don't recall what else was
6 ditches along 202. It seems to me, my
7 buried in this landfill?
7 recollection, the best 1 can recall,
8 A. No, sir.
8 there was a culvert under the road back
9 Q. And nobody told you?
9 to the west side that kind of went to
10 A. Well, they may have, but it has been a 10
the north side of 202, and then it kind
11 while.
11 of flowed east and north kind of into
12 Q. Okay. Was it not your responsibility,
12 this junction here between 202 and Tenth
13 Mr. Cheever, to supervise the operation 13 Street or whatever this road is that
14 of this landfill?
14 comes off that way (indicating).
15 A. Yes, sir.
15 MR. COX: 1 think that is
16 Q. Both the closed and the active cells?
16
Clydesdale, for the record.
17 A. Yes, sir.
17 Q. For the record, it would be Cyldesdale.
18 Q. Would it not have been important for
18 A. Okay. That's my recollection, that the
19 you, Mr. Cheever, to know what was in 19 water flowed down this mountainside to
20 those cells, all of them?
20 this drainage ditch. And as 1 recall,
21 A. 1 don't know if -- Not to my knowledge. 21
there was a culvert under here that came
22 To me it wasn't. It was important to
22 out and kind of went down that way
23 know what was going into the active

cells, and it was important to make sure
1 Q. Did you ever know or were you ever told
2 that the closed cells, irregardless of
2 how much parathion was buried over
3 what was in them, was maintained, the
3 there?
4 integrity of them was maintained. That
4 A. We kept records from the time that 1 was
5 was my --
5 there as to the amount that was going on
6 Q. That is what you understood your
6 in accordance with the permit, but
7 responsibility was?
7 previous to that, no, 1 wasn't. 1
8 A. Yes, sir.
8 wouldn't have any idea. 1 may have been
9 Q. Tell me, Mr. Cheever, if you were told
9 told, but 1 don't recall.
10 at any point in time before you took the 10 Q. Were you ever told what form it took,
11 job or after you took the job about
11 what kind of form it was in, that
12 testing that was done in the '70s of
12 parathion waste consisted of?
13 sediment in Snow Creek, Choccolocco 13 A. I'm sure 1 was, but 1 don't recall. My
14 Creek, or down around the sewage
14 judgment was it was not a whole lot
15 treatment plant.
15 different than the form we were
16 A. In the '70s?
16 disposing of currently.
17 Q. Absolutely.
17 Q. Which was what?
18 A. 1 was not told anything about the '70s, 18 A. Well, it would be bags and pallets, just
19 as 1 recall.
19 general manufacturing debris that might

have been contaminated based on the fact
21 go that came off this landfill,
21 that it came -- was generated within the
22 Mr. Cheever, off the southern landfill? 22 production battery limits.
23 Did it go to the north or south or east

1 familiar with the area that was east of
1 section of land into which that ditch
2 and north of this landfill? Can you
2 runs that you marked on Plaintiffs'
3 remember and recall enough about it to 3 Exhibit One. Do you recall or did you
4 tell us whether or not there were people 4 know or do you know from your experience
5 that lived there?
5 where that ditch ran into this eastern
6 A. Yeah. There was a community, homes, 6
section that would be east of the plant,
7 businesses, churches in that area.
7 across Clydesdale from the Monsanto
8 Q. Were you ever told at any point in time 8 plant?
9 by either Mr. Brown or anybody at the
9 A. 1 don't recall. 1 know --1 don't
10 plant about any testing that might have 10 recall any water running across in front
11 been done in the continuation of the

12 ditch where the surface water ran off
12 since I've been there, and 1 really
13 from the southern landfill on into that
13 don't remember.
14 eastern section over there? Were you 14 Q. Do you remember a tributary into which
15 ever told about any testing that had
15 the surface water ultimately ran?
16 taken place before you came there?
16 A. Yes, sir.
17 A. Not that 1 can recall.
17 Q. And what was that called?
18 Q. Okay. Can you track us that ditch on
18 A. 1 don't remember. 1 just remember it
19 that Plaintiffs' Exhibit One and just
19 being an unnamed tributary to Snow
20 show us where it goes into the culvert? 20 Creek.
21 A. 1 don't recall exactly where. That is
21 Q. So it was an unnamed tributary to Snow
22 just my recollection that it is
22 Creek?
23 somewhere --
23 A. That's what 1 recall.

I'm not asking you be an artist or a map drawer or do anything specific.
I'm trying to remember my own self. As 1 recall, it was somewheres over here and went in that direction. That's my recollection.
Can you put the word by it of "ditch" so we know what you are talking about? Yes, sir. (Executed by the witness.)
MR. STEWART: Thank you, sir. Now, let me have this marked, if you would. (Plaintiffs' Exhibit Number Two was marked for identification.)
Let me show you Plaintiffs' Exhibit Two. That purports to be a map of -- The plant is located to the west on that map, and then there is a portion of this southern landfill that is reflected in the lower portion of this map.

Can you mark with a pen on Plaintiffs' Exhibit Two where that unnamed tributary -Might have gone?
-- might have gone on Plaintiffs' Exhibit Two? You are taxing my memory now. As 1 recall, it came across and kind of came down this direction (indicating).
Do you want to mark it a little larger as you did on the other thing and put "ditch" by it or "tributary"? Want to put "tributary" on that one?
1 can spell ditch. I'm not sure 1 can spell tributary.
Just put t-r-i-b, and we'll all agree that's tributary.
I'm an engineer, not a speller. Were you ever told, Mr. Cheever, that there was some actual testing done before you came to the Anniston area for PCBs along that tributary, by either Mr. Brown or anybody in the

7 responsible for compliance with
7 and the other locations that Monsanto
8 maintenance of this landfill up there
8 manufactured PCBs at the time. 1 had
9 south of 202 if you combined that fact
9 been told that everybody in the company
10 with the fact that there were PCBs
10 was aware of why we got out of the
11 buried over there?
11 business, the fact it was a concern that
12 MR. COX: Object to the form. You 12 it was a material that --1 guess what
13 can answer it.
13 made it good made it bad, if you will,
14 Q. Well, let me ask it this way,
14 from the aspect of certain individuals
15 Mr. Cheever: If PCBs were buried in the 15 -- that it was persistent in the
16 landfill over there and there had been
16 environment.
17 some testing and some levels of PCBs 17 Q. Did you know anything at all about any
18 were found in the ditch, would it be
18 studies that had been done, after you
19 important for you to know that as the
19 took this position in 1983, by the
20 environmental person at Monsanto
20 company, by Monsanto Chemical Company
21 Chemical plant?
21 itself about PCBs? Did anybody tell you
22 MR. COX: Object to the form.
22 about any testing that had been done on
23 Q. You can go ahead and answer,

MR. COX: Talking about 1983?
21 were there that indicated the result of

7 something that stands out in my memory.
7 A. Bio-magnification, yes, sir, 1 have.
8 Q. Would it be fair to say, then,
8 Q. Do you understand what it means?
9 Mr. Cheever, your information and
9 A. Yes, sir.
10 knowledge you had about PCBs were based 10 Q. Can you tell us what your understanding
11 on just the general knowledge that you
11 of that is?
12 had from being an employee of Monsanto? 12 A. 1 understand that -- materials get into

14 from the system, and they kind of
15 been banned by EPA, by the government? 15 accumulate or continue to accumulate is
16 A. Yes, sir.
16 my understanding.
17 Q. And did you know why at the time you
17 Q. Do you understand what propensities PCBs
18 took this job?
18 have for doing that, say, in animals?
19 A. Yes, sir.
19 A. Technically, no. I've heard it, but 1
20 Q. Did you know they had indicated it was a

21 potential carcinogen at time you took

And did you know anything at all or did 1
anybody tell you about the purchasing of 2 A.
livestock in this area that is reflected
3 Q.
on Plaintiffs' Exhibit Two from a
4
resident there because of the
5
possibility that that livestock was
6 A.
contaminated by PCBs in the '70s?
7 Q.
No. 8
Did you know anything about that?
9 A.
1 never heard anything about that.
10
Would you consider that something, sir, 11 Q.
to be important or not for you to know
12
as a person who was responsible for
13
managing the landfill south of 202?
14
1 guess I'm -- You know --
15 A.
It wouldn't be important to you?
16
I'm trying to -- I'm wrestling with
17
that. I'm not sure how -- I'm trying to
18 Q.
understand the question totally. 1
19
don't remember ever seeing any livestock 20
in that community area, so 1 guess 1
21
would be hard pressed to understand how 22
livestock could become contaminated with 23

raised them in that area? No, sir, not that 1 can recall. Okay. And 1 believe you have indicated that the person who briefed you was Mr. Brown, Jerry Brown? Yes, sir. Okay. Do you recall him ever telling you about that? He may have, but 1 certainly don't recall it. Do you ever recall being told by anybody, Mr. Cheever, about tests that were done on fish that were found in Choccolocco Creek? 1 remember reading about it or hearing about it, but 1 don't remember anybody telling me about it as such. When 1 say telling you about it, let me make sure that 1 --1 probably framed the question poorly. Mr. Cheever, do you ever remember Mr. Brown or anybody at the plant ever telling you about PCBs being found in fish in Choccolocco Creek

Specifically 1 don't remember Mr. Brown 2
telling me anything about that. He may
3
have, but you know --
4
Would it have been important for you to 5
know that kind of information,
6
Mr. Cheever, in your position as the
7
environmental specialist at the Monsanto 8 Q.
Chemical plant in Anniston?
9
1 don't think so. 1 was involved, as 1
10
said before, in the management of the
11
current production and current
12
facilities. And PCBs had been gone for 13
a long time -- manufacture of PCBs had 14
been stopped from that location a long
15
time before 1 got there, so 1 guess at
16
that point in time 1 might have. But as
17 Q.
far as it being important to what 1 was
18
doing, 1 wouldn't consider that to be
19 A.
necessary.
20
Mr. Cheever, tell me, when you say gone, 21
did you understand that there were no
22
PCBs in the southern landfill or on the
23 Q.
Page 120
Yes, sir. MR. STEWART: Y'all want to take a break? (A break was taken from 12:05 p.m. to 1:10 p.m.) (Mr. Mike Kelly left the deposition proceedings.)
(By Mr. Stewart) Mr. Cheever, you were going to show us, 1 believe, before we left -- if it wasn't, 1 want to pick up here anyway -- where that tributary was, if you know. If you will take a look at Plaintiffs' Exhibit Number Two.
MR. COX: Something other than the one he has already marked on here?
Well, where it enters Snow Creek, are you familiar with that? Yeah. 1 thought 1 was. Somewhere around the -- Somewhere around the railroad tracks that are on the north side of Tenth Street.
And -- Go ahead. Can you mark it there?

plant site down there at the time you got there? When 1 got there, there was electrical equipment that was on site being used that had PCBs in it. 1 knew that. That was part of the management responsibility 1 had.
Other than that, though, is that your understanding of all the PCBs that were there in 1983? Yeah. Current facilities that were being operated is what 1 was aware of. 1 may have been told about prior disposing practices, but 1 don't recall specifically ever being told that.
What other landfills, if you know, did y'all operate on this site? The only ones 1 was involved with the operation are those that are shown on that other exhibit that we looked at.

Well, 1 marked it as best 1 could. MR. COX: I'm not sure the map shows where Snow Creek joins the tributary on this map.
1 tried to do it the best 1 recall. Let me just ask you specifically if in fact the tributary you are talking about joined Snow Creek. Yes, it did. And did you know where Snow Creek went to after that at the time you took that position down there in 1983? Did 1 know somewhere Snow Creek went? Yes, sir. And where did it go? It flows down through -- winds its way down through the City of Anniston, Oxford, and eventually ends up in Choccolocco Creek. And then do you know where that ultimately goes? Choccolocco Creek kind of follows Interstate 20 and ends up in one of the

lakes or Coosa River down around Lake Logan Martin or wherever, down that way. Was there any significance as far as you are concerned to knowing that perhaps some PCB contamination had gotten into the creek, Choccolocco Creek, Snow Creek and Choccolocco Creek through this tributary? Would that have been of some significance for you to know at the time you took your position? 1 don't think so. My job was to worry about - not worry about, but to manage the current operations and the current practices. 1 don't know what happened in the past. Well, how were you permitted there at those landfills? Was it not -- Wasn't it a RCRA permit? Yes, it was. And supervised by the state as opposed to the federal government, or a combination of both? 1 believe it was a combination of both.

southern landfill? None to my recollection while 1 was there operating it. No, sir. Do you recall as you sit here today ever being told about the landfill west of the plant? Told about? 1 was told about an area that had been used for disposal on the western side of the existing manufacturing location. Yes. What were you told about it? That it was there, about where it was, approximately where it was located. Did Monsanto have any responsibility for that particular area while you were there? My recollection is part of the -- part of the disposal area was inside an existing plant perimeter fence, so we would have been responsible for maintaining that area just like any other area within the plant confines. Where did the surface water go that came

We filed an application with both agencies, to my recollection. It is my recollection that it was -- the permit was issued by EPA, but it might have been ADEM or both.
So you were subject to federal regulations too? That is correct.
And did you report directly to them about your findings, if you had any, about, let's say, something escaped from the landfill? Would you be required to report that to ADEM or the EPA, or what did you do?
1 don't recall we ever had anything escaping from the landfill on the permit that 1 was aware of. 1 don't recall how the permit was written of who was to be notified in the event that occurred.
So you are telling me sitting here today that you don't recall while you were there operating in that facility that y'all had any kind of problem out of the

off that landfill? 1 believe it flowed west into a piece of land that was owned by Alabama Power Company. And where did it ultimately wind up? Oh, 1 don't know for sure. 1 could speculate, but 1 don't know for sure. Did any of that to your knowledge, Mr. Cheever, ever wind up in Snow Creek? Drainage patterns from all of west Anniston 1 think ended up pretty much in Snow Creek. Snow Creek is the drainage ditch for surface water runoff in pretty much all of that area, residential, commercial, industrial. Then would it be fair to say, Mr. Cheever, that you knew at that time that the surface water that came off that landfill went into Snow Creek? Did 1 know that? Is that what you asked? Yes, sir, in '83. Yes.

1 recollection was it wasn't even our
2 landfill while you were there from '83
2 property, Monsanto's property. It
3 to '89?
3 belonged to Alabama Power, part of
4 A. No, sir.
4 Alabama Power Company, 1 thought.
5 Q. Why not?
5 Q. Well, are you telling us that at one
6 A. 1 don't know. It -- Just it wasn't
6 point in time, that if y'all put waste
7 considered part of the active facility
7 in there, that once you sold it to
8 that 1 was involved with, and it was
8 somebody else, it became their
9 just -- We didn't really consider it a
9 responsibility, or do you have a
10 landfill as such. It was a prior
10 continuing responsibility for what you
11 disposal area that was used sometime in 11 buried there, under the regulations as
12 the past. That's all 1 knew about it.
12 you understood them?
13 Q. Let me show you Plaintiffs' Exhibit

4 particular area?
5 Q. Well, was it covered in any way?
5 A. 1 guess my understanding of the current
6 A. I'm sorry?
6 requirements is we wouldn't sell a piece
7 Q. Was it covered in any way?
7 of property that we had known -- had
8 A. I'm struggling with what you mean by the 8
disposed of --
9 word "covered." It was a grass area,
9 Q. And if you sold it and didn't know it,
10 grassy area as 1 recall.
10 you would probably take it back,
11 Q. Were contaminants exposed? Was there 11
wouldn't you, Mr. Cheever?
12 something on top of them, or did you
12 A. 1 don't know what the company would do
13 have any idea, Mr. Cheever -- As you sit 13 today.
14 here today can you tell us if you had
14 Q. Let me ask you this, Mr. Cheever: Did
15 any idea from '83 to '89 what that
15 y'all ever monitor the surface water
16 landfill was covered with?
16 runoff in that area west of the plant?
17 A. My recollection, it was just a grassed
17 A. Not to my recollection.
18 -- grassy -- grassed knoll area that was 18 Q. Did you ever monitor any ground water
19 outside the perimeter fence. We had a 19 over there?
20 chert lot inside, if you will, or a
20 A. 1 don't recall us having any ground
21 gravel area inside which was inside our 21 water monitoring in that area. We may

3 upper soils.
4 A. Not to my recollection.

5 Q. Would it be basically fair to say that
5 that might be below surface that y'all
6 you have no idea of what was buried

10 Q. Are you telling me that you don't recall 10
this area south of 202 had been
11 anybody telling you what was buried out 11 previously used for?
12 there, or are you telling me that you

20 at the Anniston plant, what was buried 20 what had that been used for? Did you
21 in that western landfill?

9 A. Uh-huh (indicating yes).
9 A. 1 don't know as it would have been
10 Q. Did anybody ever tell you anything about 10
helpful to know what the previous --
11 what that landfill potentially might
11 based on -- previous use of the site
12 affect as far as ground water, not
12 was. What 1 was led to understand was
13 surface water, but ground water?
13 the fact that it was a waste disposal
14 A. 1 was --1 understood that the upper
14 area that had been closed and had to be
15 surface ground water was flowing in a
15 monitored.
16 north or northwesterly direction, and
16 Q. Did you have any idea as to whether or
17 that's why there are interceptor wells
17 not that particular landfill might have
18 and observation wells and containment 18 affected ground water wells in the area?
19 area was to capture that so it could be

21 Q. Are you talking about surface water
21 Q. Wells, that were -- Not city water. I'm
22 or --
22 not talking about city water. I'm

10 would have been important to know that. 10 or any kind of sampling or testing in
11 Yes, sir.
11 that area during that time frame --
12 Q. And if the hydrology of that landfill
12 A. No, sir.
13 was such that it might have affected
13 Q. -- while you were there?
14 what they call the discharge area that
14 A. 1 don't remember.
15 fed into -- coming down from

16 Jacksonville -- Do you know where
16 hydrology of the western landfill? You
17 Jacksonville, Alabama is?
17 have indicated earlier you just knew it
18 A. Yes, sir.
18 was a former disposal site. Did anybody
19 Q. And the discharge area that comes down 19 ever tell you about the hydrology of
20 from Jacksonville, Alabama, and feeds 20 that particular site?
21 Coldwater Springs, would it not have
21 A. No, sir.
22 been important for you to know that?
22 Q. Did anybody ever tell you how the site
23 A. It is my understanding that water is
23 was lined at the bottom?
Page 135

1 several hundred feet in the ground. And 1 A. No, sir.
2 we are talking here -- We were looking
2 Q. Did anybody ever give you any indication
3 here in the upper twenty or thirty feet
3 of what was placed on the top of that
4 of the ground. And 1 wasn't aware of
4 landfill?
5 any connection between the two.
5 A. No, sir.
6 Q. Are there liners under those parathion

7 pits that would have prevented the
7 that was not a part of your

10 have prevented the parathion --
10 were there?
11 A. Just natural clay, natural compacted

17 Miller, who were the consultants that

18 were retained by Monsanto to work with 18 Q. Nobody ever told you that?
19 us on this part of the process.
19 A. It was a part of inside the fence. It
20 Q. Did you or did ADEM ever suggest at any 20 was an idle manufacturing area that had
21 point in time that the landfill south of
21 once been used for disposal of
22 202 might have affected the ground water 22 materials. That's all 1 knew. 1 had no

if that is the question you are asking. Who would have, if you didn't? I'm not sure 1 understand the question. Who would have had the responsibility
for monitoring that particular disposal area and making sure it didn't affect the neighbors? There were neighbors to the west of that site, were there not? Quite a bit west, uh-huh (indicating yes).
Okay. 1 guess 1 would have been involved were there any indication that there was a concern with that area, but we had nothing 1 was aware of, so 1 wasn't involved with it. Okay. Are you familiar with the Monsanto Pledge? Yes, sir.

Was that not y'all's goal before the pledge was put into effect? Isn't that what y'all worked toward before the time this pledge was put into effect, Mr. Cheever? I'm safe to assume that, 1 guess. Uh-huh (indicating yes).
Would the reduction -- Or to reduce all toxic and hazardous releases and emissions, would that also be not only from current productions but also from a landfill that was operated on your plant site there? My understanding was this was primarily from operating manufacturing units as opposed to past practice.
Well, let me see if 1 can understand what you're saying, Mr. Cheever, because 1 certainly want to. 1 want to be careful that 1 do understand what you are saying. Are you telling me that once you bury it in the ground, even if it is on your property, you have no
Page 139

1 responsibility to make sure that it

5 don't need time to look at it and 1 can
5 Q. What did you say?
6 go ahead and ask you questions about it? 6 A. This was not an active facility at the

time, and there was no indication -- we
8 I'm familiar enough with it.
8 had no indication that 1 was aware of
9 Q. The first part of this pledge indicates
9 that there was anything leaving the
10 that it is Monsanto's response -- This
10 place it was put. 1 don't know that we
11 one is signed by Mr. Richard J. Mahoney, 11 had enough information or any
12 and he was chairman and chief executive 12 information to indicate that there was a
13 officer of Monsanto at the time this
13 concern or anything leaving that area.
14 pledge was put in place; is that
14 If there was, then we would have done
15 correct?
15 something about it.
16 A. That's correct.
16 Q. All right. Now, let me ask you about
17 Q. It says it was the pledge of Monsanto to 17
that. If you had known that BASS, the
18 reduce all toxic and hazardous releases 18 fish organization, had sued the company
19 and emissions, working towards an
19 over PCB contamination in the '70s, that
20 ultimate goal of zero effect. This
20 would be important to you, wouldn't it,
21 pledge was put in place, it indicates
21 Mr. Cheever?
22 here, on January of 1990.
22 A. I'm not sure.

the southern landfill -- PCBs had

important for you to know, wouldn't it?
12
MR. COX: Object to the form. Go
13
ahead. You can answer it.
14 A.
1 thought we were still talking about
15
the western, this piece right here

(indicating).
17
I'm talking about the plant itself that
18
you worked at, and I'm trying to relate
19 Q.
it to this goal here in the pledge,
20
number one, that you say was a goal even 21
before the pledge was put in place.
22 A.
It was something everybody worked
23 Q.
Page 144
wasn't it? It had been something you had been directly involved in, hadn't you -Exactly -
- in '85? I'm sorry? Again? You had been involved in some kind of problem in 1985, had you not, where there was some concern expressed again by a regulatory agency, 1 believe the Attorney General's Office at some point in time in 1985? Y'all had a problem then, hadn't you? They had taken some samples that indicated there was potential contamination in some sediments in that ditch and in that unnamed tributary to Snow Creek and along Snow Creek. Yes. And what was the contaminant we are talking about that they had found in 1985, Mr. Cheever? It was PCBs. So there had been -- You didn't know

1 about any problems in the '70s, but in

7 That would have been important for you 7 that correct, Mr. Cheever?
8 to know, wouldn't it, Mr. Cheever?
8 A. The very thing we were talking about

20 about high levels of PCB found in the
21 addressed in some fashion.
21 sediment of Snow Creek?
22 Q. Well, there certainly was at the time
22 A. There was -- Yes. There were some
23 when this came out in January of 1990, 23 questions about levels of PCBs.

7 didn't it?
7 A. I'm not sure it would have required us
8 MR. COX: If you recall.
8 to do it. No, sir.
9 A. 1 don't recall the exact values that

10 were there. It very well could have.

this release or emission? Are you
12 from Snow Creek, didn't you, a portion 12 saying here today that you don't think
13 of Snow Creek?
13 it came from the Monsanto property?
14 A. 1 believe we did.
14 A. No, sir, that's not what 1 said.
15 Q. And removed it and sent it to Emelle.
15 Q. Well, wouldn't you think it would be
16 You didn't bury it in your landfill.
16 important and incumbent on you at that
17 You sent it to Emelle, didn't you?
17 time to locate the source?
18 A. That is correct, 1 guess.
18 A. PCBs were widely used in industry and

MR. COX: I'm sorry, Donald. 1 don't mean to interrupt. What area of the plant?
MR. STEWART: The southern landfill.
It was my responsibility to maintain and operate this landfill that is depicted in Exhibit Number One according to the requirements of the permit which was issued for the operation of that site.
Well, are you saying that if you have a leaching out from that landfill of a regulated toxic substance -- PCBs was a regulated toxic substance, wasn't it, Mr. Cheever?

MR. COX: In ground water? No. PCBs are not mobile enough to be in ground water. Who told you that? 1 don't remember who it was. Do you know how far away Choccolocco Creek is from the plant site? Yeah. 1 wouldn't -- It is probably ten miles or so. I'm not sure what the mileage is. Were you aware of the fact that PCBs had migrated from the tributary to Snow Creek to Choccolocco Creek from your plant at the time we are talking about? 1 was not aware of that. That is a pretty good migration, isn't it, if that had happened, isn't it, Mr. Cheever? If in fact it happened, 1 guess it would be.

8 You didn't tell them that, did you,
8 A. Uh-huh (indicating yes).
9 Mr. Cheever?
9 Q. The paragraph, the last paragraph on the

18 about that were done, or is it just the
18 have, but 1 don't recall for sure.
19 monitoring wells?
19 Q. Were the PCBs buried in closed cells?
20 A. 1 have know idea. You would have to 20 A. If PCBs were buried, it would have to
21 talk to Mr. Mason, 1 guess, to find out
21 have been in closed cells because we

So it would be fair to say they just fell through the crack then, wouldn't it?
MR. COX: Object to the form. Would it? You can go ahead and answer it. I'm not sure 1 know how to answer that. Was anybody monitoring from a regulatory agency, the EPA -- if EPA wasn't coming by and they weren't under your permit, then nobody was monitoring them during that period of time, were they, Mr. -They could have been. 1 don't recall. Now, this gentleman indicates there is some concern because the areas are in the recharge area for Coldwater Spring? Is that not correct? That is what he says, yes, sir. And that is the spring that provides the water supply for the Anniston area, doesn't it? 1 believe that's correct, yes, sir. And he wants ADEM in this particular

Do you remember settling his concerns about the potential contamination of the Coldwater Spring? 1 don't recall being aware of a potential problem that he had or concern he had with a potential problem with Coldwater Spring until this -- until seeing this.
Until you saw this? Uh-huh (indicating yes). So you don't remember either Mr. Mason or Mr. Cox ever saying anything to you about the plant, "We are sort of concerned about the fact that there might be a problem with those closed impoundments or solid waste managemen units"? I'm sorry. Again? You don't remember ever talking to Mr. Mason about his concern about the solid waste -- closed solid waste managements units -1 don't recall it.

11 ground water, bring it up to the

2 A. Yes, sir.
2 A. Yes, it is.
3 Q. Was this put together for y'all with the
3 Q. Was that stored -- the 3,499,050 pounds,
4 public relations side of the Monsanto --
4 was that stored on site or recovered or
5 A. Normally that is the way it is done. 1
5 whatever?
6 presume this one was done that way.
6 A. The number again, sir?
7 Q. So this is just to assist y'all in
7 Q. Just go across the line there on the
8 dealing with that incident there at the
8 front page. It says sulfur contaminated
9 Monsanto Chemical plant in Anniston when
9 with organophosphates, 4,200,000 and
10 the dredging took place or the Soil
10 some-odd figure. And then there is a
11 Conservation Service proposed to dredge
11 3,499,000 pound figure, and it talks
12 Choccolocco Creek?
12 about the fact that it is either stored,
13 A. That is what it appears, yes, sir.
13 treated, or disposed of. Do you know
14 Q. And is it your position here today that
14 what happened to those?
15 you might have contributed some to the
15 A. Well, D80 is a code, handling code that
16 facts in here?
16 means it is disposed of in a landfill.
17 A. 1 might have, but 1 don't recall doing
17 Q. That's -
18 so.
18 A. That is the on site landfill disposal.
19 Q. Do you remember who was dealing with
19 Q. R01 is -
20 y'all from the public relations
20 A. R01 is recycled or reclaimed or
21 department at that time, Mr. Cheever?
21 recovered.
22 A. 1 sure don't remember.

1 A. Could 1 take a break?
1 Q. Was that a regulated waste material?
2 (A break was taken.)
2 A. No, sir.

11 for -
12 Can you tell us who you made this report
12 A. 1 don't know the answer to that
13 to? Was it to the EPA?
13 question. Could have.
14 A. 1 don't recall. It was either EPA or
14 Q. And when you say could have, you don't
15 ADEM or both.
15 know?
16 Q. It says installation EPA ID number, but
16 A. 1 have no reason to know one way or the
17 that's --
17 other.
18 A. You know, 1 believe we made them to both 18 Q. The next one is acetone.

4 parathion and contaminated debris.
5 incinerated?
5 A. That is correct.
6 A. It would have been off site. I'm not

9 Q. P-nitrophenol and contaminated debris? 9 A. Uh-huh (indicating yes).
10 A. Uh-huh (indicating yes).
10 Q. Methyl chloride and sulfur, do you know
11 Q. Was that also incinerated?
11 what happened to that? That was
12 A. The T02 is 02 treatment technology,
12 buried -- disposed of off site?
13 which is --1 don't know whether that is
13 A. That is correct.
14 incineration or whether that's the
14 Q. Are those regulated chemicals,
15 treatment, you know, using the treatment 15 parathion, methyl parathion, and
16 facility that is on site, the waste
16 methylene chloride, chemicals that have
17 water treatment. That may be the waste 17 to be buried in places like Emelle and
18 water treatment plant that was on site,
18 regulated landfills?
19 the company-owned treatment plant, the 19 A. They have to be handled in accordance
20 way that was written, and the acetone
20 with the requirements of the Resource
21 the same way. Acetone is a very light 21 Conversation Recovery Act, yes, sir.

4 myself on what T02 means based on
4 Q. And then the next document, which is
5 looking at that.
5 Plaintiffs' Exhibit Nineteen, we are

(Discussion held off record.)
6 talking about, again, methyl parathion
7 Q. Tell us what parathion contaminated
7 on the third line there?
8 debris -- it indicates that was stored,
8 A. Uh-huh (indicating yes).
9 85,000 pounds of it was stored in the
9 Q. Stored 62,000 pounds and also says
10 landfill; is that correct? Am 1 reading
10 contaminated debris.
11 that right?
11 A. Uh-huh (indicating yes).
12 A. 85,000 pounds would have been disposec112 Q. And then you disposed of 75,000 pounds.
13 of in the on site landfill.
13 Why would you make the distinction or
14 Q. And 60,000 pounds were shipped off? 14 difference in those? You put this
15 A. That is correct.
15 together. It is dated in 1984. Do you
16 Q. Would that have been to a regulated
16 remember?
17 landfill somewhere or for incineration,
17 A. 1 sure don't remember the reasoning we
18 or do you know?
18 made the distinction between the two,
19 A. It would have been to a regulated
19 why we sent some off site, why we
20 landfill based on the facility ID number 20 didn't.
21 that is listed there.
21 Q. Were your landfills that you had active
22 Q. And then methyl parathion, it has the
22 at that time in 1984 capable of taking
23 same designation for a portion of it
23 something like methyl parathion or

1 parathion?
1 Q. And was that parathion buried in the
2 A. Yes, sir, it was permitted to do that.
2 landfill?
3 Q. Okay. Do you know what site this is
3 A. Yes, sir.
4 where you sent that stuff?
4 Q. In one of the cells?
5 A. 1 do not know. I'd have to speculate,
5 A. Either cell 4-E or 5-E that is described
6 and 1 choose not to do that. I'm not
6 here.
7 sure. It can be matched up with the
7 Q. Okay. And can 1 assume from these
8 identification number.
8 documents that comprise Plaintiffs'
9 Q. Okay.
9 Exhibit Twenty that when you closed
10 A. Someplace in Alabama.
10 these cells that is where the parathion
11 Q. Okay. Let me show you -- This would be 11
waste that y'all maintained on site was

12 buried?
13
(Plaintiffs' Exhibit Number
13 A. Parathion that was generated on site
14 Twenty was marked for 14 that was buried on site was buried in
15 identification.)
15 those cells, yes, sir.
16 Q. It is 1 my understanding, Mr. Cheever, 16 Q. Let me ask it another way. To your
17 that you left the facility at the end of
17 knowledge, based on your experience
18 the calendar year '89. And there is a
18 there and your responsibilities for the
19 document here that refers to a -- that
19 disposing of that waste, there is none
20 was filed with the probate judge's
20 that is buried outside the cells
21 office, a duplicate original of the
21 themselves?
22 affidavit made by Mr. Denner, and it
22 A. Not to my knowledge.
23 talks about the -- prepared by Brenda

5 A. I'm not sure what the requirements are.
6 non-liquid hazardous waste potentially
6 Q. Does your permit allow you -- Let me ask
7 contaminated with 4-nitrophenol and
7 it this way, Mr. Cheever: To bury
8 parathion. Are you familiar with what
8 parathion in any place or dispose of
9 was done at that time? Can you describe
9 parathion in any place on Monsanto's
10 for us based on looking at these
10 property located in Calhoun County at
11 documents what happened on that
11 the Anniston plant other than in one of
12 occasion?
12 those solid waste management cells --
13 A. 1 can try to, sir. This is the closure
13 A. The permit was for the cell 4-E and 5-E
14 documentation when we closed the active
14 that were closed here, and that was for
15 portion of the landfill on the south
15 parathion and PNP contaminated wastes.
16 side of Highway 202. The regulations
16 Q. And you couldn't bury it any other
17 and our permits require that a notice --
17 place, could you, on the property --
18 that this kind of a notice be prepared
18 A. That is correct.
19 and filed that would indicate where
19 Q. -- or you would be in violation of your
20 hazardous waste has been disposed of in
20 permit?
21 a closed facility.
21 A. 1 believe that's correct, yes, sir.
22 Q. Okay.
22 Q. Now, if you discovered -- Let's say you,
23 A. That is what this was about.
23 Robert Cheever, discovered that outside

4 with my experience of what I'm working
5 A. Notification would have to be made and a
5 on now. If we discover a solid waste
6 newly discovered solid waste management
6 management unit that has not been

7 previously identified, we submit a
8 solid waste amendments of 1984. That is
8 written notification to the agency

9 involved, and then that usually begins a
10 between an SWMU and an active hazardous 10 dialogue as to how are you going to

15 A. If you became aware of it --
15 Q. What if you find it and don't report it?
16 Q. If you became aware of it you would have 16 A. Then you are in violation of your
17 to do what?
17 permit.
18 A. Some permits -- And 1 have forgot

1 notification.
1 A. 1 believe it is both. It can be both.
2 Q. What happens after you make a
2 Q. Who is the person responsible under
3 notification, Mr. Cheever?
3 those circumstances at, say, the
4 A. Most of the time 1 believe that is all
4 Krummrich plant or the Anniston plant?
5 the permit says, is you make a
5 1 mean, who is the person that is the
6 notification, and then the agencies
6 signator on those documents that are
7 normally respond, and you begin a
7 related to that?
8 dialogue at that point in time.
8 A. The plant manager is normally the
9 Q. Okay. Would you have to place those at 9 designated individual to sign those
10 some time in one of these cells? Can
10 documents.
11 you just leave it out?
11 Q. So he is the person that is ultimately
12 A. Normally it becomes the subject of a
12 responsible for making sure that if
13 facility investigation in a different
13 there is something discovered like that,
14 regulatory -- set of regulations that
14 the proper agency is notified?
15 are prepared for the remediation of

16 solid waste management units outside of 16 Q. And who would be the proper agency?
17 hazardous -- active hazardous waste
17 A. It would depend on whether it is a state
18 management units.
18 permit or a federal permit. It could be
19 Q. Well, 1 guess what I'm saying is --1
19 one or the other or both.
20 guess what I'm asking is what takes
20 Q. It appeared in the documents we
21 place once you notify those people. The 21 previously looked at that you signed
22 regulations that apply, do they make it 22 your name to that dealt with parathion

11 1 don't remember whether that was sent
11 contamination Mr. Cox is talking about
12 to anybody other than ADEM or not.
12 or the EPA is talking about?
13 Q. Okay. So it could just be sent to ADEM?
13 A. 1 do not know. Have to ask them.
14 A. It could have been. I'm not sure.
14 Q. You don't know what --
15 Q. If you didn't report it if you found it

19 just had to report to ADEM, would the
19 Q. Then there is a -- This would be
20 ramifications that you mentioned a
20 Twenty-two. It is a letter dated July
21 minute ago, civil and criminal
21 1st -- Plaintiffs' Twenty-two is a

15 some rankings that were apparently done 15 you seen that?
16 in '82 and '83 by the Environmental
16 A. Uh-huh (indicating yes).
17 Protection Agency. There is a letter
17 Q. What response, if you know of any,
18 written by Mr. Cox back to the
18 Mr. Cheever, did y'all make to this
19 Environmental Protection Agency about 19 letter dated July the 1st, 1983, with
20 his disagreement with those rankings.

4 Q. Mr. Cox says that he wanted information 4
MR. COX: Object to the form.
5 on the processes which substantiates or 5 A. We may have, but 1 wasn't aware of any.
6 refutes possibility of either direct or
6 Q. You weren't aware of any?
7 indirect dioxin production, apparently
7 A. No.
8 wants to refute what they are saying.
8 Q. Were you aware of anything that you did
9 Is this the normal procedure that you go 9 or any testing that you did after this
10 through with ADEM and EPA, if they say 10 letter was received for dioxins and the
11 dioxins are being produced at the
11 parathion production?
12 Anniston plant site? That is a banned

15
identification.)
16 believe it has been. But as far as your 16 Q. Let me show you Twenty-three. This
17 question, is this a common practice,
17 refers to a Therminol trade-in program.
18 yeah. It is not uncommon to be -- to
18 1 want to ask you about that,
19 prove that your processes are not the
19 Mr. Cheever. Do you want to read it and
20 generator of certain waste materials.
20 look at it?
21 Q. Okay. Did y'all send him any sampling 21 A. Go right ahead.
22 to your knowledge of the land, air, or
22 Q. What was the Therminol trade-in program?
23 water that indicated that dioxin was
23 A. Therminol is a heat transfer fluid that

1 present at the plant site?
1 Monsanto sells, a trademark material.
2 A. 1 presume we answered the letter because
2 Q. Is it a substitute for PCBs?
3 we normally did, but what the answer
3 A. No, sir.
4 looked like, 1 wouldn't have the
4 Q. What was it used in? In what kind of
5 foggiest idea what it was.
5 end product would this wind up,
6 Q. Okay. Did you -- Were you aware of the
6 Therminol?
7 fact at the time that you went to
7 A. It goes into solar heat panels where
8 Anniston and became the environmental
8 they take sunlight shining on
9 specialist and then later were
9 metallicized panels and put Therminol
10 responsible for environmental affairs
10 behind it. That is one of the uses. It
11 there -- were you aware of the fact that
11 is used in heat transfer and other
12 parathion production had as a byproduct
12 chemical process reactions because it is
13 potentially dioxin.
13 a medium you can heat to higher
14 A. 1 might have been, but 1 don't recall
14 temperatures under low pressure than you
15 for sure. That is fifteen years ago, a
15 can water, as an example.
16 of water gone on before.
16 Q. Y'all were taking this stuff back and
17 Q. 1 understand. Did you do any testing at
17 burning it at the plant? Is that what
18 that time for it to your knowledge, for
18 you proposed to do?
19 dioxins?
19 A. The proposal was to take spent fluids,
20 A. We may have, but 1 don't recall doing
20 fluids that had exceeded their capacity
21 any.
21 as a heat transfer medium, turn them in,
22 Q. So would it be fair to say that you
22 give the purchaser credit, and we'd take
23 wouldn't have had any tests -- test
23 the return materials and use it as

5 C02.
5 done --
6 Q. And that's it?
6 A. Sure was.
7 A. Yeah. There is no sulfur or no nitrogen 7 Q. -- at the Anniston plant?
8 in the product.
8 A. Yes, it was.
9 Q. In the Therminol trade-in program, in

12 basis?
13 Q. Do you know what that has reference to, 13 A. Yes, sir.
14 Mr. Cheever?
14 Q. Was that the plant physician?
15 A. 1 believe this is a specification that
15 A. Yes, sir.
16 is given to potential customers that if
16 Q. And then was that information sent to
17 you are going to participate in our
17 some central location?
18 trade-in program, your material has to
18 A. Yes, sir.
19 meet this specification.
19 Q. Where was that?
20 Q. Can't have any PCBs in it?
20 A. Corporate medical, Monsanto corporate
21 A. That is correct. That is what that
21 medical.
22 means.
22 Q. And what studies if you know were you --
23 Q. So y'all were not taking back PCBs at 23 were made of that particular data,
Page 275
Page 277
1 that time in connection with the
1 Mr. Cheever?
2 Therminol trade-in program?
2 A. 1 don't know if any particular studies
3 A. That is correct.
3 were used with that data, if any.
4 (Plaintiffs' Exhibit Number 4 Q. Okay. So you're not familiar with any
5
Twenty-four was marked for
5 studies that were done with the data
6 identification.)
6 that was collected at corporate medical?
7 Q. All right. Let's me show you
7 A. There may have been some. But I'm not
8 Plaintiffs' Exhibit Twenty-four. This
8 aware of any specifics that were done
9 is another guideline put out, 1 assume,
9 with corporate medical from Anniston.
10 by Monsanto; is that correct?
10 Q. Who would know about that?
