Oosthuizen - G4NN SANTOCEL 68 SHERWIN-WILLIAMS Mr. J. M. Kuenz ll80 - Chicago In responding to questionnaires such as the one attached to the Sherwin-Williams letter of April 24 requesting Information on Santocel 68, we should avoid filling out forms which Imply that Monsanto has unique and unchallenge able data to offer. This is particularly true in responding to those questions that contain an element of Judgment. For example, does Rule 66 apply? or under Federal Standard 313 which of the several categories best fits our product?. I have attached copies of the Product Specification and Material Safety Data Sheet which relate to Santocel 68. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has adopted a TLV for silicas of 20 mppcf. Relating to metalcontent, we have the followings Arsenic Heavy Metals (Pb) Lead (Pb) < 3 ppm <30 ppm <10 ppm Hie above represents all of the available information which could be transferred to the Sherwin-Williams form. The remaining information requested is either not applicable to Santocels or requires Judgment on the part of the Indi vidual compiling the data. .

Appelhof Environmental Health Committee South Central Michigan Health Planning Council R.R. 1, Box 249 Three Rivers, Michigan 49093 . Dear Ms, Appelhof: Your letter dated April 26 was forwarded to me for re sponse since I have been intimately associated with the polychlorinated biphenyl environmental situation. With increasing evidence that polychlorinated biphenyls were being identified as environmental contaminants and that some mammals, birds and marine life were being affected, Monsanto began in 1970 a program to terminate the sales of PCBs to those applications for which alterna tive materials were available. The program has now been successfully completed and sales of polychlorinated bi phenyls are restricted to dielectric uses in electrical capacitors and transformers in which the polychlorinated biphenyls are hermetically sealed in metal containers. This application is being continued because there are no known fire resistant fluids which can perform in this service. It is our considered opinion, and also of representatives of governmental regulatory agencies, that the fire resistant benefits derived from this appli cation far outweigh the adverse consequences to the environment in the event of an accidental spill. To further minimize environmental impact the fluids we now market have been modified to eliminate the more persistent isomers, Monsanto's total program is based on its desire to dramatically reduce further contamina tion of the environment and it is an action which we believe any responsible manufacturer would have taken. DSW 173067 / STLCOPCB4047588 Ms. Mary A. Appelhof May 4, 1973 Page 2 The problem of disposing of solid wastes containing polychlorinated biphenyls continue to plague us. Ideally, disposal should be made by exposing the waste to high temperature Incineration. Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate commercial incinerators capable of reaching the high temperatures required. Additionally, the problem of segregating and collecting the waste material still remains to be solved. Lacking proper Incineration, the only recourse available is the use of authorized, properly-managed dry landfills. It Is our considered opinion that, as long as the polychlorinated biphenyl waste Is not exposed to water and thereby trans ported, adverse effects to the environment will be essen tially eliminated. I am including copies of pertinent reports in the event you have not had the opportunity to review them. I hope you find these comments helpful and if I can be of further service please do not hesitate to let me know. Sincerely, WBP/bt Enclosures W. B.

The questions that occur to me and the functional group which I believe Is best prepared to respond are as follows: 1. Marketing -- What are the needs of our customers relating to the presence of free monomers? 2. Research -- Which monomer and In what quantities is most sig nificant in characterizing our product? 3. Process Research -- , Is the EMA process capable of producing a product which can satisfy 1 and 2 above? 4. Manufacturing -- Can the producing units at Luling and Texas City, following the approved process, produce a product which can meet the monomer require ments? I am aware that Shengen Hu, W. M.

A proposal to control lead content at 0.06 percent (600ppm) after December 31* 1973 is still under consideration. A proposed regulation to control antimony, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, selenium at a maximum of 0.05 percent (500ppa) total content end soluble barium at 1 percent of the total barium present i3 still being considered. This proposal would be designated under Title 21-CFRChapter 1, Subchapter D, Part 191.5. As you know we have no Information on the trace element content of our Lampblacks. I personally would not expect levels which would result in 600ppra or 5000 ppm lead or 500ppm of the remaining elements In dried paint film.

I have some thoughts concerning the role that the product acceptability function assumes in situations of this sort and had intended to discuss this with appropriate individuals within the SCS business group. A series of urgent, high-priority matters have prevented me from conducting these discussions, therefore, I will attempt to share my thoughts with all recipients of this memo using the Polaroid request as an example. It seems to me that any request originating with the customer automatically becomes the immediate concern of the marketing function. The field sales and the pro duct group representatives must decide whether the request has merit and what further action appears to be warranted. In this instance, the Polaroid request was considered worthy of further action. Since the request related to the evaluation of a pro posed analytical procedure, it becomes the responsibility of the research group within SCS. Representatives of the research function must then establish,after conferences with marketing representatives, the relative priority warranted by the request. Whether the study Is conducted within the SCS research function or is made by some other group, must, of necessity, be the decision of the SCS research managers. The scope of the study, the quality of the data generated, the interpretation of the informa tion and the resulting conclusions and recommendations remains the responsibility of SCS research.

Purdy 237 Parkview Avenue Willowdale, Ontario Canada Dear Mr. Purdy* Your letters addressed to Mr. Jack Leech, Monsanto Envlro-Chem Systems Inc. and to PCB Information Dept., Monsanto Company, have been forwarded to me for response since I have been intimately involved in the PCB environmental program. The PCBs you observed at the Nanticoke Generating Station are used as insulating fluids in power transformers and were probably available to the Station for adding to a newly installed transformer or for the repair of a damaged transformer. These fluids, in addition to being good insulating fluids, have the added benefit of also being fire resistant thereby adding immeasurably to the safety of the installation in the event unusual operating conditions result in physical damage to a transformer. I have enclosed reports which, in my opinion, will give you a good summary of the FCB/environmental problem and will also describe the recommended methods for handling and disposal of these materials.

You will note in these guidelines that the disposal of solid articles contaminated with askarels presents a challenge, primarily because incinerators capable of achieving the high temperatures required are not available. To my knowledge the only alternative available to us at this time is the disposal of these articles by burial in suitable dry sanitary landfills. Monsanto Company does not have the capability for disposal of this type of waste. We can, however, destroy by incinera tion wastes which are returned to our Sauget, Illinois plant In heavy duty steel drums.

Buckley Deputy Director Office of Research United States Environmental Protection Agency Washington, D.C, 20460 Dear Johns I suspect that the information relating to the incinera tion of PCBs which appeared in the Interdepartmental Task Force Report originated with me or someone else within Monsanto. All of the information we have relates to the destruction of the liquid PCB mixtures. Ihe pilot tests were conducted for Monsanto by the John Zink Com pany, P. 0. Box 7388, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74105* telephone 918-747-1371. We encourage anyone interested in the studies to contact Mr. Gene McGill of John Zink Company directly. Our personal experience with the commercial unit we have installed as designed by the John Zink Company has de monstrated to our satisfaction that destruction is taking place. We do not have any studies involving the incineration of the solid PCB mixtures such as Aroclor 1268 to which Mr. Peters refers in his letter. It appears to me that if partial destruction has been achieved by the Japanese and Europeans at temperatures up to l600C, that with , some modification of the conditions under which combustion is occurring, total destruction could conceivably be achieved. I hope that my comments above along with any information that Mr. Peters can receive from Mr. McGill proves useful. Sincerely, WBP/bt W. B.

Generally trace elements have been considered as potential problems in plant waste ef fluents. The amount of Lampblack used in any paint for mulation is relatively small.

Servicing of askarel-containing transformers requires the drawing of repre sentative samples of the fluid. Generally, two to four quarts are obtained from the main drain valve and an additional quart from the sample bottle rinse. The procedure is repeated for a transformer top sample. The waste quantity will vary from one to two gallons per transformer, depending on service company procedure. Integrity of containers presents a problem, as does the possibility of accidental spills during handling. Such spills could result in sewer or ground contamination. In addition, prolonged storage and deterioration of the filled containers could cause leakage and further con tamination. Another potential source of contamination is damage during ship ping. Lack of a simple, efficient disposal system may be the reason for unauthorized disposal of the askarel wastes into rivers and streams. Standardized containers and collection procedures, a means of solidifying the askarel wastes, and authorized disposal should help eliminate the environ mental threat. The system we propose is as follows: Providing a fiberboard carton containing four one-gallon plastic cube containers with appropriate closures and a four-pack fiberboard pre addressed package. Each cube container will be loaded with a pre-determined quantity of Dow Imbiber Beads, a product that will solidify the waste askarels within minutes. The outer package is pre-addressed for delivery to an authorized solid wg.ste incinerator or supervised dry land fill site for disposal. The advantages of the system we propose are: .. A standard container for disposal. .. A method for solidifying the askarel wastes to prevent leaks or other accidental contaminating spills. ,. A method of environmentally sound containment when disposed of in dry land fill and assurance that such disposal will be accomplished by authorized personnel and procedures. .. A product and container that meets the requirements for environmentally sound high temperature incinerator disposal. DSW173202 STLCOPCB4047723 March 5$ 1973 Dr. C. S.

Quinby P. 0. Box 1313 Wenatchee, Washington 9&801 Dear Dr. Quinby: I too ara puzzled regarding the origin of the statement that only one in a hundred million ballasts burn out or otherwise fail. I personally am not aware that any one in Monsanto has made that claim. We have relied on information from the electrical industry and have used references such as the General Electric article referred to in your letter. In fact, this General Electric article was the source of our statements which we made before the Interdepartmental Task Force on PCBs in Washington on May 15# 1972. I have enclosed a copy of the full presentation for your use. I am tempted to speculate that perhaps someone has attempted to distinguish between those capacitor failures that result In electrical malfunction and those capacitor failures which result In a rupture of the capacitor container and immediate release into the environment. This attempt at differentiating between the two types of failures could have resulted in the lower failure rate quoted. I believe representatives of the capacitor industry are In a better position to comment in this area than I am. You may wish to contact Dr. A. Pozefsky, General Electric Company, Hudson Falls, New York. Dr. Pozefsky may be able to give you more precise informa tion relating to ballasts and thermal controls as required by the Manual of National Electrical Code 1971. We have Ions recognized that disposal of failed small capacitors which are widely distributed Is extremely difficult to control. With this in mind we hove developed a more degradeable version of capacitor PCB fluid. You will note in the attached report that we do not propose that this fluid can be freely discharged in the environment DSW 173229 STLCOPCB4047750 Dr. Griffith E. Quinby February 21, 1973 Page 2 but we do believe that any of this material which acci dentally escapes control will eventually degrade. It is our considered opinion that, although this is not the ultimate desired solution, it represents a significant step in the proper direction. Sincerely, W. B.

Papageorge - General Offices, B2NA February 8, 1973 PHOSPHATE LEGISLATION - DEQUEST E. K. Brokeblll - B2SJ R. D. Hogue - N1A T. M. King - N1A Mr. C. S. Alack B2SO I have reviewed some of the current phosphate legisla tion to determine how it might apply to our Dequest for mulations. In every case the legislation refers to deter gents. A typical definition of the term "detergent" reads as follows* The term detergent means any cleaning compound which is available for household use, laundry use or industrial use, which is composed of organic and inorganic compounds, soaps, water softeners, surface active agents, dispensing agents, foaming agents, buffering agents, builders, fillers, dyes, enzymes and fabric softeners whether in the form of crystals, powders, flakes, bars, liquids, sprays or any other form. In every Instance the references to phosphate content do not make any attempt to describe how the phosphorus Is present chemically. It would appear that the Dequests with phosphorus present and used In cleaning compounds would be affected by these laws. . Summaries of legislation in specific areas are as follows: Miami - Phosphates In household detergents are banned. The Dade County Pollution Con trol Hearing Board on April 13> 197? granted an extension to July 1, 1973 exempting mechanical dishwashing compounds and pro ducts used for Industrial and institutional purposes. Chicago - The City Department of Environmental Control" extended for one year to December 31# 1973 the continued presence of phosphates in mechanical dishwashing compounds and industrial and institutional products. . Buffalo (Erie County) - Ihe presence of phos phates' In detergenta vias banned on January 1, 1972 but mechanical dishwashing products and Industrial and Institutional uses are exempt. L STLCOPCB4047774 Kr. C. S. Alack February 8, 1973 Page 2 Indiana - At present phosphates are totally bahned'except for mechanical dishwashing com pounds and industrial and institutional pro ducts which are exempt until April 30, 1973. The State Legislature is currently favorably considering an alternative bill which will restore the limited use of phosphate and elimlnate the April 30 termination date for the exempted uses. The expression "industrial and institutional uses" includes bottle washing operations. I have attached a summary of state and local phosphate legislation which I hope you find useful. As you well know, the use of phosphates in detergents continues to be rather emotional and considerable activity remains in the many legislatures and other law-making groups. Because of the degree of activity and the resulting changes in local situations, I recommend that in dis cussions with our customers we avoid giving the impres sion of offering firm legal advice and in every case we should recommend that the customer consult with his legal advisors relating to legislation in those areas in which he intends to market his product.

There fore, they cannot consider approval of our Syton EZ-50 without divulging the presence of Silicon Dioxides and Sorbitol. I can appreciate why we do not wish to divulge these in gredients at this time. Both Silicon Dioxides and Sorbitol are acceptable by the FDA in paper and paperboard packaging as shown on the attached copies of portions of the regulation. Using this information as a basis, I propose the following statement be considered at this times SYTON EZ-50 meets federal requirements for use In the manufacture of food packaging under existing food additives regulations. The ingredients present in SYTON EZ-50 have been granted GRAS status by the Food and Drug Administration and are included in a list of substances migrating to food from paper and paperboard products used in food packaging that are generally recognized as safe (21 CFR 121.101h). The properties of the ingredients which permit acceptability are not altered in any way during its manufacture, therefore, SYTON EZ-50 itself meets the requirements. Additional reference to acceptability may also be found in part 121.2526(a)(2) of the regu lation. I hope this type of statement will be of some help at this time. Please feel free to reword. If the intent of the statement is altered I would appreciate reviewing your draft. /bt Attachrcent W. B.

Your question relating to the purity of these Aroclors is difficult to answer because all of these represent mixtures of the various isomers which are formed when biphenyl is chlorinated. The number of isomers in a mixture probably varies from 50 to 80, In any event each mixture is considered to be 100$polychlorinated biphenyls.

Corey B2SL Warren Easley called to inform us that the publication of the pending PDA PCB regulation has been delayed and is now predicted for Karch, 1973. It appears the American Paper Institute severely criticized the FDA*s environmental impact statement as being invalid and not complying with NEPA guidelines, primarily because no consideration was given to the economic impact of the proposed regulation. The Institute has also threatened legal action If the regulation is published without revi sions to the environmental impact statement. The PDA Is somewhat confused at this point. Hie impact statement on FCBs in food is the first the Administration has prepared. It looks upon this requirement as a delaying tactic and considers it as being in conflict with its re sponsibilities under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The Council on Environmental Quality also commented on the lack of consideration to the economic impact of the pro posed regulation but did so in milder tones, primarily as a reminder that this item must be covered in detail In future FDA environmental impact statements. Regarding the question of the length of the period for compliance, it appears that only 30 days will be available for corrective action from date of publication to date for compliance. At this time the FDA has not developed any plans for monitoring, inspecting or enforcing the reg ulation. . W. B. Papageorge At DSW 173305 STLCOPCB4047826 V. B.

Brymer B2NL As I recently discussed with you, the Functional Product Groups Division is considering the possi bility of funding some PCB research now under way at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Wooster, Ohio. We were originally approached by the administrator of the Center to participate in a "Grant-In-Aid Agreement" providing for the total funding of the study. I have attached a copy of the Agreement document. Our decision relating to the support of this work was delayed, however, the Center proceeded with the research activities. Recently the program director wrote to me stating that he has exhausted all of his available funds and desires help from Monsanto. Since the work is already under way, it appears that the "Grant-In-Aid" approach may no longer be appropriate and that partial financial assistance could be provided as a "direct gift".

Paton B2SC In responding to Howard Bergen*e question "What changes have occurred In enforcement policies or legislation that would affect our strategy?", I believe the most significant legislation that Is relevant was the passage over the President1s veto of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. I have attached a copy of a comprehensive summary of these Amendments. You will note that they require the achieve ment, by not later than July 1, 1977, of effluent limitstions from point sources which "shall require applica tion of the best practicable control technology currently available as defined by the Administrator." By July 1, 1983 the Amendments require effluent limitations for point sources which "shall require application of the best available technology economically achievable which will result in reasonable further progress toward the national goal of eliminating the discharge of all pollu tants." The Administrator may modify the requirements for 1983 with respect to any point source for which a permit application Is filed after July 1, 1977, upon a showing by the owner or operator of such point source satisfactory to the Administrator that such modified requirements (l) will represent the maximum use of technology within the economic capability of the owner or operator; and (2) will result In reasonable further progress toward the elimination of the discharge of pollutants. Any 1983 limitation shall be reviewed at least every five years and revised if appropriate. The Amendments include the policy statement that "it Is the national goal that the discharge of pollutants into the navigable waters be eliminated by 1985; it is the national goal that wherever attainable, an interim goal of water quality will be achieved by July 1, 1983; it is the national policy that the discharge of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts be prohibited. The Adminis trator will determine which materials will be defined as toxic as well as the toxic amounts. This list is to be published by mid-year. W. B. Papageorge At DSW 173340 /?

Wheeler - A2SA Attached is a copy of the final environmental statement relating to the proposed regulations on polychlorinated biphenyls. . .. . Present plans by FDA Include publication of the final regulations on January 20. These regulations will become effective on February 19. Note that the temporary toler ance In paper food packaging material has been set at 10 ppm compared to the 5 ppm originally proposed. Paper food packaging material containing more than 10 ppm PCB may be used if an effective barrier is incorporated In the food package. The tolerance for Infant and junior foods has been relaxed from 0.1 ppm originally proposed to 0.2 ppm. Tolerances for animal feed have been tightened from 0.5 to 0.2 ppm for complete animal feeds and from 5.0 to 2.0 ppm for animal feed components.. Other temporary tolerances remain the same as in the original proposal. These were: milk and dairy products, 2.5 ppm on a fat basis; poultry, 5.0 ppm on a fat basis; eggs, 0.5 ppm; fish and shell fish, 5.0 ppm on an edible portion basis. . Our discussions with FDA representatives relating to PCB residues in flushed heat transfer systems were apparently successful because no PCB limits in flushed systems are indicated. The following more flexible statement has DSW 173348 4 STLCOPCB4047869 January 4, 1973 Page 2 been included: "The management of establishments producing animal feed shall eliminate to the fullest extent possible commensurate with current good manufacturing practices..." The use of electrical transformers and capacitors that contain PCBs has been clarified and will be permitted in food, feed and food packaging plants. /bt Enclosure W. B.
