Do you know what that refers to? 19 A 1 just remember there was one. 1 don't remember 20 who imposed that deadline or for what reason. 21 Q And there are two types of wastes identified as 22 major contributors?
12 earnings or nonearnings projects. Since this memo 13 describes a couple of such projects, it would have been a 14 concern to him. 15 Q Who was R. M. Kountz, K-o-u-n-t-z? 16 A Bob Kountz was our engineering manager. 17 Q Do you know whether he had responsibilities 18 regarding landfills to which Monsanto sent materials? 19 A Not directly. The reason for copying him on a 20 memo like this was if the contemplated projects were larger 21 than projects that could be handled at the plant, it would 22 be up to him to organize those projects in the engineering

He later 4 transferred to the general office and may still work for 5 Monsanto. 1 don't know for sure. That's the only one of 6 those names that 1 can shed any light on. 7 Q Do you recall there beingskimming ponds 8 installed at the Nitro plant?

During your tenure with 8 Monsanto, was there ever an operation that was perfect in
9 A No. 10 Q Does this refresh your recollection at all as to 11 there being concerns about pollution from the Nitro plant

12 during the time that you were manufacturing manager? 1 13 mean, in your review of all the documents that we've seen? 14 A 1 think it was a matter of general knowledge that 15 there were some pollution problems at the Nitro plant. 16 This doesn't -- specifics of these reports don't add 17 anything to my understanding of that. 18 Q Do you recall what the nature of your general 19 knowledge was concerning pollution problems there during 20 the time you were manufacturing manager? 21 A No. 1 just knew that they had a pollution group 22 and that they had a number of things they were working on.
12 A You might argue that something like Mersize 13 satisfied that definition. It was not a very elegant 14 operation, but since everything that came out the reactor 15 went into the tank car, in that sense there wasn't any real 16 loss. 17 Q Any others? 18 A 1 think it was a general feature of the processes 19 1 can remember that they ran it at less than 100 percent of 20 their yield. 21 Q Are you familiar with the discharge of water 22 vapor from neutralizers in the Mersize operations at the

9 Q So during your tenure with Monsanto you don't 10 recall having any responsibilities with regard to these 11 products?
9 A Well, they were inspectors who came in on a 10 periodic basis once a year or once every two years to look 11 at such things as fire protection facilities and the like,
12 A No. 13 Q Do you recall having any responsibilities 14 regarding 2,4,5-t operations at the Nitro plant? 15 A No. 16 Q Do you have an understanding as to why -- or any 17 reasons why Nitro technical services progress reports would 18 have been forwarded to you in the June of 1968 time frame 19 regarding the 2,4,5-t operations? And if you'd like, I'd 20 be happy to show you a document, but 1 was just trying to 21 shortcut it. 22 A No, that would have just been the routine because
12 and they would make useful recommendations at the end of 13 their visit. 14 Q Do you know whether those representatives were 15 from Liberty Mutual or not? 16 A That's a name that 1 remember, but 1 can't be 17 sure. 18 Q So you might be recalling the name Liberty Mutual 19 from some other context? 20 A It could be. Insurance companies are pretty 21 well-known names. 22 Q And you don't recall the names of any of these

2 Q Did you ever have any involvement that you recall 3 in evaluating incinerator needs with respect to wastes to 4 be disposed of from the Nitro plant?
2 A No. There were usually two or three people and 3 they would usually stay for about a week at the big plants. 4 Q What plants do you recall the people coming to
5 A No. 6 Q Mr. Savage, do you have an understanding as to 7 whether you will be asked to testify as a witness at the 8 trial of the lawsuit between Monsanto and its insurance 9 companies? 10 A That's never been mentioned to me. 11 Q If Monsanto asked you to be a witness, do you 12 believe that you would be available to testify at such a 13 trial in Wilmington? 14 A 1 think so. 15 Mr. Brock: 1 don't have any further questions. 16 Examination 17 By Mr. Burnett: 18 Q Mr. Savage, do you have any knowledge as to 19 whether representatives of insurance companies ever visited 20 the Anniston or Krummrich plants? 21 A Yes, 1 think they did. 22 Q Do you recall the names of any such insurance
5 see? 6 A Queeny, Krummrich, 1 think Anniston, but I'm less 7 certain about that. 8 Q What time frame did the people come to the Queeny 9 plant? 10 A During the time that 1 was on the plant manager 11 staff, which would have been the late ' 60s. 12 Q And what about Krummrich, what time frame did 13 they come? 14 A When 1 was at Krummrich. 15 Q And that was 1963 to 1967, that time frame? 16 A Yes. 17 Q And what about the Anniston plant? 18 A 1 don't know. 19 Q Did you meet or speak with those people? 20 A 1 remember doing so at Queeny. 21 Q What did your dealings with them consist of? 22 A Well, at the end of their visit they would meet
