To: Nike Deeio CONFIDENTIAL Date: September 25, L934 UUill I u From: Dan Fornberg Subject: ILZRO Project Funding tor 1395 Cary Walker attended the ILZRO Environmental Health meetings at Raleigh Durham for Doe Run this year and communicated she results of the sessions to an ad hoc advisory panel of Jim Lanzafame, Doug Bice, and myself about a week ago. There were five projects discussed that ail received support from the technical committee. LEH-S $ 37,500 to prepare a literature review potentially more targeted measures of lead on Not viewed as a high priority by Doe Run. In counterproductive- Probably, supportable for reasons. identifying the neurobehavoir. fact could be defensive LEH-7 $937,000 multi-year to study the impact of lead on male reproduction utilizing a large Australian or Eastern European cohort. "95-3 93K; '36-3 46SK: "97-3 375 K. Useful, if successful in the occupational work standards arena, however. not critical. Probably won't get cohort. LEH-3 3 2.2M multi-year to study and improve the true predictability of soils impact in the bio-kinetic uptake models. ,'35~$ 375K; '96-3437K; '97-3 843K; '98-3 656K. Doe. Run's current single largest liability is from the potential of government misuse of soil lead information. Ecotox study S 1.75 N to provide a broad range of standardized metals data for reporting required in the European marketplace. It may be transferable to the U3 in the future but is certainly necessary to support European markets. Need to 3how flag for political reasons here. Environmental Health Information Transfer 3 46,800. To fund the dissemination of information to members. Arguably, a core function but split out for funding purposes. Availability qJL Funds Doe Run has budgeted 3 360 K for ILZRO 3 94,318 for Core dues to maintain the organization; 3 206,548 for the Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium contribution to develop a better battery for motive vehicles and other uses: 3 24.000 is carry over from multi-year funding; leaving approximately 3 35,000 for new projects. Allocation of Funding Based on the recommendations of our ad hoc committee and tempered by the desire for harmony of the organization, I am mak ing the foi: 1. 5 i , 000 for 2. 3 2,000 for t-Sle cnv f a 1 tin 3. 3 2,000 for 4 . 3 1,000 for 5 . 3 2,000 for If helpful, offer at this level for multi-year funding-we can adjust upwards in out years if co hort is found and study looks useful. If project collapses bring money home or re-ailocate. 6. $ 20r000 for the soil lead impact assessment - would support multi-year funding at this level if she project looks like it will have enough international support to be a go. Use remaining money as contingency, for other technical committee projects, or bring home as situation dictates. I have not discussed lead chemical or lead electrochemical meetigns -with Worcester or Passmore. I will leave chat to you. Do not throw much more at information transfer of literature review. Please call' if you have questions. I do not believe 0 2c C has contributed to ILZRO except through EC I . You may wane to confirm that through Amistadi or Zeims. cc: Gary Walker, Jim Lanza fame, Doug Bice, John starter, Dennis Murphy, Jonh " Carter, Walter Nowotny, Dick Amistadi
