Mr. Dick Holliday General Foreman PPG Industries Industrial Chemicals Division
P.0. Box 1000 Lake Charles, Louisiana 70601
Attached is the VCM-NESHAP survey made for the Vinyl Chloride Safety Association meeting in San Francisco. You are receiving a copy since your company submitted data for the survey. The companies names have been deleted from the information. Please note the companies are coded by number (#) and R refers to the EPA region. Please share this data with other members of your company who might not have received a copy. I attempted to mail the information to people in your company who need this information and I might have missed someone.
The survey is certainly not complete since many companies did not reply. At our next meeting, we may want to discuss in more detail the future of this type of survey, I appreciate your cooperation.
Yours very truly,
