Over 6 months age we pointed out impending, need for Monsanto to
provide an Incinerator, either on Honsanto property er elsewhere
to effectively dispose of scrap Arcelor
.
Ve were surprised to learn at a meeting last Wednesday that this
request has not received support.
July 1969, Jits Bryant distributed a report indicating the amount of scrap electrical Aroclor for disposal. Today ye estimate need to dispose of about l.oE-lbs. a year of asfcarela.
About 300,000 pounds need to be incinerated. Hopefully, the remainder can be returned to Konsanto*m plants and distilled. Arrangejnents for distillation, also remain unprovided. If the
material cannot be distilled then such nor than 300,000 pounds needs to be incinerated.
At the present time our only means for disposal is to a lend fill. Ve are warned that this will no longer be acceptable. Accordingly, Kr. Kcuntz will now explore incineration and
Kr. Kuhn will explore distillation at our plants.
