[13] words, but in essence, she says, "Mr. David Sniveiey asked [1-4] me to call you and see if you could set aside the week of [15] January 11th for the insurance case in Delaware." I believe [16] that's what she said. [17] Q. Did you - what did you say to her? [IS] A. I said, "Let me look at my calendar." And I [19] said, "Well, it's open." [20] She said, "Would you mind blocking that out?" [21] And I said, "Okay, when will I hear more [22] details?"
Page 8 [1] And she says, "Well, an attorney will call you, [2] and also the travel agent will call you to arrange for [3] your - whatever is necessary, airline tickets, and hotel, [4] and so on." [5] Q. At any time during that conversation, did she ask [6] you to come to Wilmington? [7] A. Not in those words. She did mention the trial, [8] the - yes, I thought I heard "The trial in Wilmington." [9] Q. Okay. [10] A. That's the impression 1 hung up with. [11] Q. At arty time dttring that conversation, did she [12] tell you that she would like you to come to Wilmington? [13] A. She didn't use those words, no. [14] Q. At any time during the conversation, did she say [15] that Motisanto would reimburse you for any expenses in [16] cotmection with coming to Wilmington? [17] A. Not in those words, but she had mentioned that [IS] the Maritz Travel Services, which does, makes travel [19] arrangements for Monsanto, would be contacting me regarding [20] making the right arrangements. [21] Q. When wav the next contact you had with Monsanto? [22] A. Oh, 1 called the Miss Perk on the Monday
Page 9 [1] following the holidays, which was January the 4th, if I [2] remember correctly. [3] Q. Okay, and did litis conversation also concern [4] scheduling? [5] A. Not directly. My call was made to her because I [6] hadn't heard, I told her, "I haven't heard from anybody. [7] What's going on?" And she [8] Q. Excuse me. Before that time, did you have any [9] understanding as to where the deposition was going to take [10] place? [11] A. Oh, I wasn't aware it was a deposition. [12] Q. Okay. [13] A. What is the cpiestion, now? [14] Q. Okay, this January 4th, approximately, [15] conversation with a paralegal from Monsanto, at any time [16] during this conversation, did she say that "Monsaruo would [17] like you to come to Wilmington"? [18] A. I don't recall the exact words, I don't remember [19] the "Monsanto would like to have you come." The reference [20] was made to the - to Wilmington, Delaware, and the case, [21] mid 1 just assumed that whatever was going to take place [22] would be in Wilmington.
Page 10 [1] Q. Did you have any understanding as to who would [2] pay for your expenses? [3] A. Oh, Monsanto. [4] Q. Did you - did Monsanto - did you indicate to [5] Monsanto in any way that you didn V want to go to [6] Wilmington ? [7] MR. SARFA'ITl: Are you referring to during [8] that [9] MR. MANTA: During the January 4th conversadon. [10] A. No, 1 didn't have enough information to make any [11] kind of decision. [12] BY MR. MANTA: [13] Q. What do you meantry that? [14] A. Well, it does make a difference if it's one day [15] nut of that week or the full week. [16] Q. Okay. [17] A. And it makes a difference to me, personally, if [IS] it's a trial, that I consider that somewhat different than a [19] deposition, so with those thoughts in mind, I feh that I
[20] didn't really have enough information to, to comment in any [21] direction. [22] ______ Q. As of Jatutary 4th, Monsanto hadn't told you that
Page 11 [1] it was a deposition? [2] A. I did not hear those words, that's right. [3] Q Okay, and as of January 4th, you didn't know how [4] long your schedule would be tied up ? [5] A. That's correct. [6] Q. The only information, if l can get the gist of [7] what you are saying, that Monsaruo gave you is tluu they [8] would like you to hold certain days open? [9] MR. SARFAlTl: Objection; mischaracterizes his [10] testimony. [11] A. That was part of theinformation. [12] BY MR. MANTA: [13] Q. Okay, what was the other pan of the information? [14] A. The reference to the insurance case, and the - I [15] am almost certain that I heard the word "trial." Otherwise, [16] I wouldn't have come up with that understanding. [17] Q. Did Ms. Perk at any time during tluu conversation [18] say that you didn't have to go to Wilmington? [19] A. No. [20] Q. As of Jatutary 4th, then, your utuier - you really [21] didn't know where whatever it was wnr going to take place? [22] _____ MR. SARFAlTl: Objection: mischaracterizes his________
Page 12 [1] prior testimony, asked and answered. [2] A. I knew that Delaware, Wilmington, Delaware, was [3] the, the location. [4] BY MR. MANTA: [5] Q. Okay, let me ask this. You lutd assianed, then, [6] that it was going to be in Delaware; is tluu right? [7] MR. SARFAlTl: Same objections. [8] A. I don't know whether it's an assumption. The [9] City of Wilmington, Delaware, was mentioned, and the fact [10] that a travel agency was going to arrange for the necessary [11] hotel, and airline tickets, and limousine service, and what [12] have you [13] BY MR. MANTA: [14] Q. You lutd assumed, though, that it was a trial? [15] A. Yes, sir. [16] Q. Wluu was the next contact you lutd with Monsaruo? [17] A. With Monsanto? That's it. [18] Q. Okay. [19] MR. SARFAlTl: Are youexcluding conversations [20] with counsel, or are you just keeping it internal to the [21] company? [22] ______MR. MANTA: I'm going to get to that._________________
Page 13 [1] MR. SARFATTl: Okay. [2] BY MR. MANTA: [3] Q.

At any time during the conversations in mid [8] December and Jatutary 4th, did Monsanto say they were going P] to provide an attorney for you? [10] A. No. [11] Q. Following the Jatutarv 4th conversation, wluu was [12] the next contact tluu you lutd regarding this case, from [13] either an attorney or anyone in-house at Monsanto? [14] A. I got a call from an attorney, and as best as I [15] recall, it was that January 4th, that afternoon. [16] Q. Okay, can you tell me who tluu person was? [17] A. Mr. Sarfatti. [18] Q. And at any time during the conversation with Mr. [19] Sarfatti, did you request tluu Mr. Sarfatti represent you? [20] A. I don't know that I'd call it a request. It was [21] a question whether, in his role that he was going to play, [22] here, that he would be in a position to represent me. That
Page 14 [1] could be interpreted as a request. [2] Q. WluU mar the representation - or, the question? [3] I'm sorry.

[4] A. I forget the exact words, but in essence, [5] something to the effect that, "You'll be representing [6] Monsanto. Will you also represent me as an individual?" [7] And liis answer was. "Yes." [X] Q. At that time, did Mr. Satfatti indicate where the [9] deposition was going to take place or that it was a (It)] deposition? [11] A. There's two questions, there. [12] Q.

[15] Q. Did Mr. Satfatti indicate Miere the deposition [16] was to take place? [17] A. Yes.
[18] Q. Did Mr. Satfatti make any effort to comince yon
[19] to come to Wilmington?
[20] A. Certainly, yes.
[21] Q. What did lie say ?
[22] _____ MR. SARFAl It: I'm going to let him answer this
Page 15
[1] question because it's such a banal subject, but we have
[2] established an attorney-client relationship and it would be
[3] privileged, so I'll let him answer as long as that's not
[4] interpreted as a waiver to the balance of the conversation,
[5] which dealt with more substantive issues.
[A] MR. MANTA: Okay, the - as I'm sure you are
[7] aware, the scope of this questioning is permitted under the
[8] case management order, and that's what I'm going to limit it
[9] to.
~
[10] MR. SARFAl 11: To these travel scheduling [11] details?
[12] MR. MANTA: To conversations concerning that type [13] of information, yes. [14] MR. SARFATTI: Okay, that type of information [15] being scheduling, traveling-type matters? [16] MR. MANTA: Those and the matters permitted under [17] the case management order, which I'd prefer, if you have an [18] objection when I'm asking the questions, you raise it at [19] that time. Okay? [20] MR. SARFATTI: Okay, we'll take it question by [21] question, then. [22] _____ BY MR. MANTA:____________________________________
Page 16 [1] Q. What did Mr. Satfatti say to comince you to come [2] to Wilmington? [3] A. I'm trying to recall the exact words. Of course, [4] I ciui't. Something to the effect that I was expected to be [5] there, that the people involved had been scheduled to be [6] there. I can't recall any other reasons. [7] Q. In essence, he told you that you had been [8] scheduled to appear in Wilmington for a deposition and that [9] other attorneys had been scheduled to appear in Wilmington [10] for the deposition? [11] A. I don't know that the word "attorneys" was used, [12] hut others would he. are involved in this. [13] Q. Prior to that, you, prior to the scheduling of [14] your deposition, had you been asked whether you would be [15] willing to come to Wilmington for a deposition? [16] ' A. No.
[17] Q. In addition to tellutg you that the deposition
[18] lutd been scheduled to take place in Wilmington and that [19] there would be others there, did Mr. Satfatti tell you [20] anything else to comince you to come to Wilmington? [21] A. I can recall that he was encouraging me to go to [22] Wilmington. In fact, at that point, he went to the trouble
Page 17
[1] of getting a third party on the, on the line, this third [2] ]>arty being the travel agent representative, and at that [3] tiiue, dates of departure from St. Louis and departure from [4] Wilmington were mentioned to the travel agent, and the [5] nights that I would be staying at a hotel were mentioned. I [6] kind of interpret that as an encouragement kind of [7] conversation to let's get this on track and let's make it [8] happen. [9] Q. But you lutdn t been asked yet whether you warned [10] to go; is that riglu?
I [11]
j [12]
A. Not in those words, no. I don't recall them, Q. And did you tell Mr. Satfatti that you would not
[13] be willing to come to Wilmington at that time?
[14] A. Not at that point, no.
[15] Q. What - how did the conversation end with, in
[16] regard to whether you would come to WHmuigton or not?
[17] A. Well, I again don't recall the exact words, but
[18] in my own mind, I said, "Well, I hear you, but I've got some
[19] personal things to look at yet." I don't, I don't believe I
[20] mentioned that to Mr. Sarfatti. He didn't know me
[21] personally, and I didn't know him, and I didn't want to
[22] burden him with personal stuff and 1 said, "Well, okay,
Page 18
[1] let's, let's set up that schedule and we'll see what
[2] happens" kind of thought run through my mind.
P] Q. I guess I'm a little utwlear. Did you indicate
[4] to Mr. Sarfatti that there was some chance that you may not
[5] want to come to Wilmington? The possibility?
[6] MR. SARFATTT: You are referring to that
[7] conversation on January 4th?
[8] MR. MANTA: Yes.
[9] A. January 4th, I, I don't know if it was at that
[10] particular conversation or a subsequent one.
[U] BY MR. MANTA:
[12] Q. When was the subsequent conversation?
[13] A. That Friday of that week.
[14] Q. Friday, Jatutary 8th? Would that be appropriate?
[15] A. That, that sounds right, yes, sir.
[16] Q. In your mind, as of January 4th, was it still
[17] open as to where you were going to be for the deposition ?
[18] A. In my mind, yes, sir.
[19] Q. Okay. Had Mr. Satfatti given you any indication
[20] that the deposition did not have to take place in Wilmington
[21] at that time?
[22] A. No. No, that's -
Page 19
[1] Q. On Friday, January 8tli, what did you tell Mr.
[2] Sarfatti with regard to the location of the deposition?
[3] A. Again, I don't recall the exact words. I'll try
[4] to remember the gist of it. I called Mr. Sarfatti early in
[5] the morning to teO him that a whole week out of town was an
[6] imposition on me personally, because I had problems at home
[7] that I could not handle long distance over a period of a
[8] week.
[9] Q. lYaj it your understanding that die deposition was
[10] gomg to take an entire week?
[11] A. That's my understanding, yes, sir.
[12] Q. Did Monsanto adiise you at any point that they
[13] would pay any expenses or time lost from your work at that
[14] time?
[15] MR. SARFATTI: Objection. There's been no
[16] testimony about his employment. Assumes facts not in
[17] evidence.
[18] MR. MANTA: Before we get into the substance of
[19] things, I'd like to just note for the record that I think
[20] that the Special Discovery Master has noted what objections
[21] can and cannot be made at a deposition in the case. I think
[22] that the order - and the order does say that objections
Page 20
[1] other than to the form or privilege are not permitted and
[2] that will be the game - they will be the ground rules for
[3] this deposition, as well.
[4] Could I have my question read back to me?
[5] THE COURT REPORTER:
[6] "Q. Did Monsanto advise you at any point that
[7] they would pay any expenses or time lost from your work at
[8] that time?"
[9] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections.
[10] A. That subject was not raised.
; [11]
BY MR. MANTA:
I [12]
Q. Did Monsanto at anv lime ask if they could be of
i [13] assistance with the problems that you had in order to make
i [14] it possible for you to come to Wilmington?
: [15]
A. No.
| [16]
Q. Do you think they could have been of assistance?
| [17]
A. I'm positive they couldn't.

Did any of the depositions that you gave prior to [16] this deposition have anything to do with hazardous wastes or [17] environmental problems? [18] A. Would you help me with some of those terms?

[6] Q. What did you do following getting your Master's [7] from the University of - Washington University of St. [8] Louis? [9] A. I worked for the Phillips Petroleum Company in [10] Oklahoma. [11] Q. What did you do for the Phillips Petroleum [12] Company? [13] A. There were two distinct types of assignments. [14] Initially, I was involved with research work relating to oil [15] field drilling and to secondary recovery of oil from [16] Phillips' exhausted, I'm going to call them, wells, wells [17] that were not producing under their own energy.

[7] My initial assignment was at a plant of [8] Monsanto's located in St. Louis, and 1 was assigned to the [9] Plant Engineering Department to design equipment which was [10] to be installed and used to refine a product that was [11] produced at the plant. [12] Q. What plant and what product are we talking about? [13] A. The plant is the John F. Queeny Plant, and the [14] product was phthabc, p-h-t-h-a-l-i-c, anhydride, [15] a-n-h-y-d-ri-d-e. [16] Q. Your next position ? [17] A. Following that assignment, I was assigned out in [18] the plant as an Assistant Supervisor in a department that [19] made plasticizers, and as best as I recall, that assignment [20] lasted about a year. [21] I was then assigned as the super [22] Q. If I could mtemtpt, if you could tell me what
Page 26 [1] your title was. [2] A. I thought 1 mentioned; Assistant Supervisor. P] Q. Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. [4] A. 1 was then assigned as a supervisor of my own [5] department, of a department that refined a material into its [6] three parts, and each of these parts was eventually used as [7] a starting material to make, primarily, rubber additives. [8] Q. Can you tell me what the chemicals, the chemicals [9] that you worked with? [10] A. This was the ortho-, nitro-, and [11] paranitroclilorobenzene. [12] Q. You can continue. [13] A. That assignment, as I remember, lasted a couple [14] of years, so I'm now, 1 think, about 1956 or so. I was then [15] assigned to the Plant Maintenance Department as a supervisor [16] of a group that was responsible for what we call at the [17] plant minor or small projects, such as replacing a tank, [18] replacing a pump, or putting in a new pipeline or a new [19] instrument. [20] Q. Did any of the small projects have to do with [21] waste disposal? [22] A. No. _____________________________________________
Page 27 [1] In about 1958, as best I can recall - these are [2] not absolute dates, because I have never kept score on P] these - I was appointed as the Superintendent of the [4] Maintmance Department, responsible not only for the, the [5] small projects group that I originally had, but also the [6] total maintenance of the plant. [7] In 1961 or so, about 1961, I was then assigned [8] back to the Plant Engineering Department, which was at that

[9] time called the Technical Services Department - now, all of [10] tills is the same plant - as a Superintendent, supervising [11] the technical team of anywhere from six to twelve engineers [12] mid three or so technicians who were responsible for doing [13] the engineering work required to respond to the Production [14] Department's needs, such as a need for a bigger tank, or a [15] bigger pipeline, or better instruments, or maybe an [16] additional tank, a bigger pump, whatever their engineering [17] needs were, this team would be assigned to study it, and [IS] make their recommendations and turn it over to the [19] maintenance people to install. [20] I don't want to give the impression that that [21] engineering activity covered the entire plant. It covered [22] nidy roughly a fourth of it. There were about four teams
Page 28 [1] similar to mine. [2] In 1964, I was assigned the position of general [3] su|ierintendent of - and I don't recall the exact sequence [4] of this long title, but it included utilities, services, [5] warehousing, distribution: In other words, all of the [6] services other than maintenance that the production [7] departments required to carry out their, their assignments. [S] Q. Excuse me. Did this job have anything to do with [9] providing waste disposal services for the production [10] departments? [11] A. It did. [12] Q. Can yon tell me what those services were? [13] A. We provided the wherewithal for picking up waste [141 generated in departments - not all, wherever it was [15] generated; we had a pickup service, really. We either did [16] it in Monsanto equipment or we hired contract haulers to [17] haul the material away from the plant. [18] Q. Your deposition today and for the next few days [19] is with regard to Texas City. The questions I'm asking you [20] now are merely tor purposes of backgrotaid till iw get to Ul] (hose questions. I ilon V think the J. F. Queetiy Plant is at [22] issue. It may be one of the eighty sites, but I'm not
Page 29 [1] certain, but as ivie get into Krummrich, and so forth, the [2] (fuestions I'm going to ask. you are going to be in siunmary [3] fashion to get background for the Texas City deposition. [4] You may, n\ay not be deposed with regard to the other sites. [5] so I just want to make that clear. [6] MR. SARFAl'll: So you want to move through these [7] areas very briefly and in a summary fashion? I think that's [8] understood hy the witness, since the tbcus is on Texas City, [9] not on St. Louis, or Krummrich, or Anniston, or West [10] Virginia, or any of these other sites at this time. [11] MR. MANTA: At this time. And to the extent. I [12] mean the knowledge gained at these sites is relevant to what [13] he did in his later positions, we may go into that later, [14] but tor right now, I'd like - and I'm not giving - I think [15] what you were doing was exacdy what I needed, but as we get [16] into these other plant areas, 1 just wanted to be clear to [17] Mr. Sarfatti that I'm not conducting discovery on the [18] Kmmmrich Plant, I'm just getting some background. [19] MR. SARFATTI: Okay. At this point, 1 agree with [20] you. not conducting discovery, we'll see - into these other [21] areas. We'll see how the rest of your composition goes, but [22] I appreciate that introduction._________________________________
Page 30 [1] BY MR. MANTA: [2] Q. You can continue. You were telling me that you [3] contracted with haulers and pickup services at the Queeny [4] Plant. [5] A. Some of them, some of them were contracted, yes. [6] Q. Were there any on-site disposal areas at the [7] Queeny Plant? [S'] A. No. [9] Q What was your next position? [10] A. I was. in 19 - l think I've lost a year or two. [Ill here. That assignment we,just described, the one that [12] provided services to the operating departments. 1 was more [13] Ilian likely assigned that either late '62 or early 1963. In [14] 1964, I was assigned to the Monsanto plant located in [15] Sauget, Illinois, S-a-u-g-e-t, known within Monsanto as the
[16] William Krummrich Plant. K-r-u-m-m-r-i-c-h. [17] I was assigned as a - as one of half a dozen [18] general superintendents of manufacturing, with operating [19] responsibilities for roughly a sixth of the plant. [20] Q. Did you work at the Krummrich Plant? [21] A. Yes. [22] Q. I mean your office, it wasn't in St. Louis?
Page 31 [1] A. No, I was reporting - my office was located in [2] Sauget, Illinois, at the plant. In 1965, I was assigned to [3] the Monsanto plant in Anniston, Alabama, as a plant manager, [4] and served as plant manager until the end of 1969. [5] In 1970, I came back to Monsanto's offices in St. [6] Louis - I shouldn't say came back, I was assigned to [7] Monsanto's offices in St. Louis with a title of Manager, [8] Environmental Control, to address the issue of [9] polychlorinated biphenyls in the environment. [10] Q. Were you the only Manager of Environmental [11] Control? [12] A. To my knowledge, yes, sir. [13] Q. Did you have responsibilities in addition to die [14] issue of PCBs in the environment? [15] A. At whatpoint in time? [16] Q. In 1970. [17] A. No. [18] Q. Who else did you work with as Manager of [19] Environmental Control in 1970? [20] A. You want people in Monsanto or throughout the [21] world? I don't know what [22] Q. Oh, in the department. I'm sorry if I
Page 32 [1] misunderstood. I thought it was that you were Manager of [2] the Envirotmiental Control Department in St. Louis; is that [3] correct? [4] A. It was a one-man department. I was it. [5] Q. Who did you report to at that time? [6] A. I reported to Mr. Howard Bergen, B-e-r-g-e-n, who [7] was Director of the Business Group that was responsible for [8] the polychlorinated biphenyls. [9] Q. And who reported to you, if you recall? [10] A. No one at the time, unless you want to include [11] the part-time services of a secretary. [12] Q. Was this a foil-time job? [13] A. Yes, sir. [14] Q. Did you work with Jack Garrett at all? [15] A. At what point in time? [16] Q. At this point in 1970. [17] A. On occasion, yes. [18] Q. What were - did you deal with anything other [19] than PCBs in the environmem? [20] A. At that point in time? [21] Q. At that point in time. [22] ______A. No._____________________________________
Page 33 [1] Q. When did your responsilnlities as Manager of [2] Etwironmental Control expand beyond the issues of PCBs in
[3] the environment? [4] A. About 1972, and that's - I may have missed that [5] by a year or so, my title was changed to Manager, [6] Environmental Protection, still addressing only PCB [7] situations. About 1973, I was assigned a group of other [8] Monsanto products. I'm trying to recall another date where [9] my title was again changed. As best I remember, about 1974, [10] my title was changed to Manager, Product Acceptability. I [11] retained the PCB issue and I was given a new, not totally [12] new, but some new products were added to my list of [13] responsibilities. [14] Q. If we could go back to 1972, where your title [15] changed to Manager of Environmental Protection, did the [16] department expand at that point, the Environmental [17] DepartmetU? [18] A. No. No, I was still the person there. [19] Q. in 1973, you said vou were assigned a group of, [20] another group of Monsatuo products. Were you still Manager [21] of Environmental Protection at that poitu? [22] A. In 1973? As best 1 remember, yes, sir.

Page 34 f 1 ] Q. Were there - what were the products, the other [2] products you were assigned to? [3] A. I can't remember them all. They were, as best I [4] remember, and the dates are difficult to pinpoint, 1 was [5] assigned a group of chemicals referred to in Monsanto as [6] process chemicals, which included such things as the [7] phthahc anhydride I had mentioned earlier and a somewhat [S]related chemical, maleic anhydride, m-a-l-e-i-c, phenol I [9] remember, pentachloropbenol, sulphuric arid, there was [10] Q. Let nte ask you a few - I'll give you the names [11] of a number of chemicals, and I'm going to ask if you can [12] tell me if they are some of the chemicals that you were [13] assigned to at or about 1973. [14] Styrene? [15] A. No. [16] Q. Vinyl chloride? [17] A. No. [18] Q. Acrylonitrile? [19] A. No. [20] Q. Did your responsibilities in 1973 with regard to [21] the chemicals you had mentioned - well, let me ask this. [22] What were your responsibilities with regard to these
Page 35 [1] chemicals in or about 1973? [2] A. It was my responsibility to determine as best I [3] could whether the materials were meeting the specifications [4] tliat were established for them, that they were property [5] packaged, they were properly labeled, that the appropriate [6] information relating to those products was forwarded or made [7] available to the customer. That about covers it. [8] Q. I notice your title is "Environmental [9] Protection, " and what you've described doesn't, in my mind, [10] mean environmental protection. Could you explain wlutt that [11] means? [12] A. This is the reason the title was changed to [13] product acceptability, because the scope of the job was more [14] than just the environment. [15] Q. Okay, when you say it was more than just the [16] environment, what were the environmental responsibilities? [17] A. Well, it covered such things as informing the [18] customer what it might - where information was available, [19] informing him what it might do to the environment if it was [20] not handled properly. That's, that's primarily the thrust [21] of it. [22] Q. Did you have atty responsibility with regard to
Page 36 [1] waste disposal oilier than communications with customers ? [2] A. At that time, no. And I don't want to mislead: [3] 1 didn't - 1 wasn't the only one communicating to [4] customers. [5] Q. Could you tell me who had responsibility for VCM, [6] styrene or AN in that department in or about 1973? [7] A. I don't know. [8] Q. Was there anybody? [9] A. I don't know. [10] Q. Was there - were there others in the department [11] at that time in 1973? Environmental Protection Department? [12] A. There was no such department. I was reporting to [13] a, a business group that included those products under its [14] imuuigement when the title of Manager of Product [15] Acceptability was adopted, there were similar positions [16] established for other business groups, and they were [17] assigned to otherpeople. [18] Q. In 1974, when you became Manager of Product [19] Acceptability, you retained PCB responsibility and you were [20] given new products. Were any of those products VCM, styrene [21] or acrylonitrile? [22] A. No.
Page 37 [1] Q. Did your responsibilities change in any way in [2] about 1974? [3] A. No. [4] Q. Whendid your responsibilities change next, or [5] your title? [6] A. I'm trying to recall the date. I believe it was
[7] about 1976, Monsanto - it was nineteen seventy - 1975, [8] Monsanto reorganized and formed differait operating units. [9] I retained the title of Manager, Product Acceptability. I [10] retained the responsibilities for the polychlorinated [11] biphenyl environmental issue, but was assigned a group of [12] products, some of which I had previously been involved with. [13] I just can't recall what new products were added to my list. [14] Q. Could you tell me whether or not styrene, vinyl [15] chloride or acrylonitrile were among, were added to your [16] list? [17] A. I'm hesitating because I did eventually become [18] involved with acrylonitrile, but I don't recall the timing. [19] It might well have been that period, but I don't - I'm not [20] certain. [21] Q. What was your next position ? [22] _____A. In 1977, I was signed as a Director,_________________

And I'm going to refer to it as MCI, if you [10] don't mind. [11] A. Okay, that's the acronym we used. [12] The John F.

[21] Q. Okay, could you explain the hierarchy of the
[22] policy staff'?
[1] A. I'll try.
Page 41 ~
[2] MR. SARFATTI: We're talking 1977? [3] MR. MANTA: Approximately in 1977. [4] A. Mr. Throdahi was the, the head person of the [5] group assigned to the corporate organization. The Directors [6] of Environmental Operations were assigned to the operating [7] units. The relationship between the Directors of 18] Environmental Operations and Mr. Throdahl's team was what we [9] in Monsanto called a dotted-line relationship, as [10] distinguished from the solid line within the operating [11] company, which would indicate the direct supervision of the [12] activity. [13] BY MR. MANTA: [14] Q. Could you give me in practical terms how the [15] dotted-line version differs from the solid line? [16] A. Well. I'll try and use some lay terms, if 1 can [17] flunk of them. [18] Tlte solid line represents a situation where the [19] supervisor makes the assignments, appraises the performance, [20] decides whether to reward the person with salary increases, [21] and so it's a much more direct supervision of the job, [22] whereas the dotted line almost amounts to one of guidance.
Page 42 [1] consulting, making certain that the operating unit, in its [2] performance, complies with corporate objectives and policy. [3] Q. Would it be consultation on an as-needed basis, [4] if you or someone else felt [5] A. That would be one of the - yes, sir, I would [6] make appointments to see Mr. Throdahi on matters. [7] Q. Was there any formal requirement of contacting [8] Mr. Throdahi on certain occasions or if certain issues came [9] up. or was it more or less an ad hoc type of relationship? [10] A. Well, if I understand your term "ad hoc," it was [11] on a perceived need basis. The door was always open. This [12] is not to say that Mr. Throdahi and his team did not conduct [13] regularly scheduled meetings or special meetings as [14] different occasions would arise, and invite individuals like [15] the environmental operations directors to attend. [16] Q. Were there regularly-scheduled, or regular [17] meetings of the corporate environmental policy staff headed [18] by Mr. Throdahi? [19] A. As I remember, yes, sir, there were. [20] Q. How regular were those meetings? [21] A. About one a month, depending on whether people [22] were traveling or available.
Page 43 [1] Q. And would those meetings address issues raised by [2] the environmental operations directors? [3] A. Sometimes. [->] Q. Okay. Wereother issuesalso discussed? [5] A. Yes. sir. [6] Q. There w ere - could you tell me who attended [7] these monthly meetings, or approximately monthly meetings? [8] MR. SARFATTI: You are just speaking generally [9] now, not each and every meeting who attended each and every [10] meeting, hut types of people, not individuals? [11] MR. MANTA: Right. [12] A. Of course, members of Mr. Throdahl's staff, the 113] Directors of Environmental Operations, sometimes with [14] members of their team, on occasion, the Director of the [15] Environmental Operations could not attend a meeting, he 116] would send an alternate. There were public relations [17] individuals that would attend, there were - there was a [18] lawyer attending. Members of the corporate Medical [19] Department, either the director or his lieutenant, or both.
[20] and as best I can recall, the door was always open to any [21] Monsanto vice-president who wanted to attend or could [22] attend, time permitting.
Page 44
[1] Q. A vice-president would lye someone who would be
[2] located in St. Louis, I take it?
[3] MR. SARFATTI: What time frame are we talking
[4] about, just tor the sake of the clarity of the record?
! [5]
MR. MANTA: In about '77, when this was began,
[6] through the late Seventies, I would say.
[7] A. Yes, I remember all of the vice-presidents of
[8] Monsanto were located if in St. Louis except the one that
[9] was, had his offices in Washington, D.C.
[10] BY MR. MANTA:
[111 Q. How about, did plant persotmel attend these
[12] meetings?
[13] A. I don't recall if they did or not. It doesn't
[14] mean they did or didn't, I just don't remember.
[15] Q. Now, I'm not sure I understood who was on this
[16] corporate environmental policy stiff. Did you tell me?
[17] A. In what way? Titles, or -
[18]
Q. Yes.
'
[19] A. People's names? [20] Q. People's names? [21] A. People's names? I'll try to remember. [22] _______ MR. SARFATll: You want to focus, again, on the
Page 45 [1] 1977 name exchange. [2] MR. MANTA: 1977. [3] A. 1977. All right, there was, I don't know what [4] his formal first name is. We called him Wink Corey, [5] C-o-r-e-y. I think it was Wintrhop, but I wouldn't bet on [6] that. He was one of Mr. Throdahl's staff members. [7] BY MR. MANTA: [8] Q. What was his title? [9] A. Director, and the part I'm not certain of, he had [10] something to do with the Toxic Substances Control Act. I [11] don't know what his formal title was. Then there was - his [12] mime escapes me. A Gene .lessee, J-e-s-s double-e, he was [13] the individual, director assigned to, at that time, RCRA, [14] waste management kinds of problems. [15] Mike, M. A. Pierle, P-i-e-r-l-e, he was assigned [16] the - he was a director of and assigned to environmental [17] issues relating to water, waste water, primarily, and I'm [18] having difficulty remembering the other members. I know [19] there was an individual assigned to air pollution issues. I [20] can't recall his name at the moment. [21] Q.

replaced? A. I just don't recall. Q. How about a director assigned to water issues:
Was it always Mr. Pierle? A. No, eventually, Mr. Malloch, M-a-l-l-o-c-h, was
assigned, as best as I can recall, to water issues. I have difficulty remembering what year that was.
Q. You were not on the corporate emirotmtental policy staff, l take it, at no point?
A. That's correct. Q. Could you describe what your responsibilities were as Director of Envtrotunental Operations for MCI? A. I'll try. I was responsible as a staff member of the operating unit to keep informed as to developments relating to environmental matters regarding solid wastes,______

[4] informed relating to the employee exposure potential at the [5] plants who were handling the many materials, both raw [6] materials, intermediate products and final products. I had [7] assistance from members of my team to help me in this [8] matter. I was to share and coordinate information that was [9] passed on to the plants and also to keep my bosses informed [10] of developments in this entire area. [11] Q. Who war on your team? [12] A. Initially, it consisted of two individuals, Larry [13] Keating, K-e-a-t-i-n-g, and Mike Pierie, P-i-e-r-l-e. [14] Q. What ivas Mr. Keating's title? [15] A. I believe at the time, it was Manager, Industrial [16] Hygiene. I know he was a manager and 1 know he was assigned [17] industrial hygiene matters. 1 don't recall if that was his [18] official title. [19] Q. How abota Mike Pierie? [20] A. Mr. Pierie was Manager, Environmental Protection. [21] THE WITNESS: Is this a good place to recess? [22] _____ MR. SARFAt 'll: If that's what you say, that's__________
Page 48 [1] what goes. You want to take a break? [2] (Recess) [3] BY MR. MANTA: [4] Q. Okay, before the break, we were talking about [5] your position as Director of Environmental Operations, was [6] that? [7] A. In 1977. [8] Q. '77. [9] A. Yes. [10] Q. And you were a staff member of the MCI [11] operational unit and you were to keep informed as to [12] developments iti solid waste, air, water, et cetera. Can you [13] tell me how you kept informed of environmental issues [14] relative to the plains within MCI? [15] A. Would you mind repeating that? Kept [16] Q. No problem. You had mentioned that m your [17] position in and abota 1977, you were a staff member of an [18] operational tout. In other words, you sat on the MCI [19] operational tout in your position with a number of other [20] people. Is that riglu? [21] A. Yes. [22] _____ Q. And your responsibility, if l understood you___________
Page 49 [1] correctly, was to keep informed as to developments, [2] basically, in the environmental area. Is that riglu? [3] MR. SARFATTI: Objection as to form. [4] A. Well, I don't know whatyou mean by the use of [5] die word "basically." It was [6] BY MR. MANTA: [7] Q. Why don't I say this [8] A. - environmental as it related to air, water and [V] solid waste, but just as importantly, product considerations [10] and employee exposure considerations were, were part of the [11] responsibility. [12] Q. Okay, I understand that. What l -- my question [13] is, how did you do the part of your job that dealt with [14] keeping abreast of emironmental developments? [15] A. It included, of course, an awful lot of reading [16] of the appropriate journals, governmental documents, reports [17] of, from many, many sources, university reports, state and [18] federal documents, attending meetings as appropriate and as [19] time permitted, attending Monsanto-conducted meetings, [20] visiting the plants, discussing these matters with my staff, [21] communicating with the corporate departments within Monsanto [22] tliat had something to contribute. That about covers it.______
Page 50 [1] Talking with customers of people and talking with [2] competitors' representatives. [3] Q. Did you do anything as an initial matter to get [4] up to speed or to learn the emironmental issues that [5] related to the various plant sites? [6] A. I certainly, as time permitted, of course, [7] arranged for a personal visit to the plants. In the [8] meantime, I had my staff make the early contacts. They, in
[9] turn, would come back and share with me with their
[10] observations, their, their thoughts, their proposals.
[11] Q. Would tlutt be Mr. Pierie aiul Mr. Keating ?
[12] A. That was the first team, yes, sir, in 1977.
[13] Q. What was the next team?
[14] A. Shortly alter this announcement was made with Mr.
[15] Pierie, it wasn't too long that Mr. Pierie transferred over
[16] to the corporate staff. He was replaced by Mr. Weishaar,
[17] W c-i-s-h douhle-a-a-r. That was about within six months of
[18] this August '77 date, as best I recall.
[19] Q- Did it, did the team change again?
[20] A. Yes, we had another change in, as best I
[21] remember, I added to the team a Manager of Product
[22] Acceptability. I can't think of his name. It'll come to me
Page 51
[1] later.
[2] Q. That's okay.
[3] A. And then at about mid 1978, we added another
[4] individual, Michael Foresman, F-o-r-e-s-m-a-n. He was an
[5] Environmental Protection Manager, as distinguished from a
[6] Manager, Environmental Protection.
[7] Q. Did the team change again, other than from
[8] Manager of Environmental Protection to Environmental
[9] Protection Manager?
[10] A. That indicates a lower-level job. He was a
[11] junior member. The poation of the word "Manager" means
[12] something to the Personnel Department. [13] MR. SARFATTI: Have you established a cutoff
[14] point for the witness' frame of reference?
[15] MR. MANTA: Well, I'm going to - I mean, as long
[16] as he's at Monsanto, during the time -
[17] MR. SARFATTI: Up to his retirement?
[18] MR. MANTA: At Monsanto, yeah.
[19] MR. SARFATTI: Do you understand the time frame,
[20] the continuum? [21] MR. MANTA: I'm just trying to find out who was
[22L on the team throughout the time he was at Monsanto.__________
Page 52
[1] A. We're up to 1978. The team, the team stayed at
[2] that staffing until Monsanto underwent another
[3] reorganization. I was then assigned as Director,
[4] Environmental Operations of the Monsanto Industrial
[5] Chemicals Company, MIC.
[6] BY MR. MANTA: [7] Q. Did your plaru responsibilitychange at tlutt
[8] point?
[9] A. Yes. [10] Q. Can you tell me how? Wlutt plants you were
[11] responsible for? [12] A. I'll try to remember. There were more plants
[13] involved. I retained the John F. Queeny Plant and the
[14] William Knimmrich Plant, the Soda Springs Plant in Idaho,
[15] the Columbia, Tennessee, Plant. I picked up the Avon,
[16] California, Plant, Kearny, New Jersey, K-e-a-r-n-y, the
[17] Everett, Massachusetts, Plant, the plant at Bridgeport, New
[18] Jersey, the plant at, I think it's Addyston, [19] A-d-d-y-s-t-o-n, Ohio, Augusta, Georgia. I believe that was
[20] all. 1 don't know that I got them all. [21] Q. Was Texas City in tluu group?

[161 Q- Were you, nonetheless, uformed of tilings that
[171 'sere happening at the Texas Citv Plant in 1983 or following
[181 1983?
'
[191 A. I was informed to a degree; not thoroughly, but [201 Dr. Calks, during our meetings or private conversation, [21] would, on occasion, discuss matters. I was interested not [22] a direct - not having direct responsibilities, but in________
Page 54
[1] the event that I could learn something from their [2] experiences and apply it to the plants that I was [3] responsible for. [4] Q. And how long did you continue in that position [5] as - in the position you took in 1983 as Director of [6] Environmental Operations of MIC?
[7] A. Until the end of - near the end of 1985. [8] Q. .ind what happened in 1985?
[9] A. Another reorganization. [10] Q. And what happened to you? [11] A. 1 was then assigned as manager of - I'm trying [12] to remember the title. I've forgotten the official title. [13] It bad to do with workplace exposure and employees for the [14] newly-informed Monsanto Chemical Company. [15] Q. Did you have any environmental responsibilities? [16] And wium I'm taildng about environmental, I'm excluduig from [17] there employee exposure issues. [18] A. No, my responsibilities were limited to those [19] situations that affected workplace exposure. [20] Q. In 1985. did you have any responsibility with [21] respect to workplace exposure at the Texas City Plant? [22] _____ A. Yes._______________________________________________
Page 55 [1] Q. Would you tell me what those responsibilities [2] were? [3] A. I don't know that I can define them fully. [4] It's - it was primarily one of making certain that the [5] plant was addressing those exposure situations that I [6] believe should have, they should be addressing and that they [7] were communicating very closely with the industrial [8] hygienists from Monsanto's Corporate Department. [9] Q. Now, in your position as Director of [10] Environmental Operations for MIC - I'm sorry, MCI - you [11] mentioned that some of the ways that you kept informed of [12] the environmental issues with regard to plants such as the [13] Texas City Plant were to visit the platu, get information [14] from your staff, and conduct meetings with platu personnel? [15] Is that right? [16] A. Not only - not limited to plant personnel. [17] Q. Okay. I understand that, bia can you tell me [18] who. during the time you were Director of Environmental [19] Operations for MCI, who at the Texas City Plant did you have [20] dealings with ? [21] A. The plant manager, of course. I'm trying to
[22] remember the first one I dealt with. Hmm. 1 just can't Page 56
[1] remember lhs name. The second one was Gene Tromblee. I [2] remember him. T-r-o-m-b-l-e-e. I don't recall his [3] predecessor. [4] I also worked - I forget his first name [5] Himes. H-i-m-e-s. [6] MR. HUGHES: Fred. [7] A. (Continuing) Fred. Fred Himes, yes, sir. He [8] had a group reporting to him. [9] 1 remember an Ed Hendricks. I think it's Ray Ann [10] Reid, she was one of the environmental engineers, and then [11] there's a McCauley. It might well have been others; I just [12] can't recall them all. [13] Q. Would you have had contact with the platu manager [14] or a platu manager throughout the time that you were [15] Director of Environmental Operations from - for MCI? [16] A. Certainly. [17] Q. And the same as for Mr. Fred Himes? [18] A. Yes. [19] Q. And Mr. EdHendricks? [20] A. Well, Ed Hendricks, it seems to me I recall he [21] retired somewhere in there. I initially worked very closely [22] with Mr. Hendricks, and eventually - and I forget when he
Page 57
[1] retired, but he was no longer available and I was then
[2] dealing with Miss Reid and Mr. McCauley.
[3] Q. Now, when you say initially, that would be in the
[4] period from nineteen seventy -- or, I'm sorry, is that
[5] riglu? 1977?
[6] A. Correct.
[7] 0. Through '83. I ihitik it was?
[8] A. Yes, sir.
[9] Q. Unless Mr.Hendricksretired before that?
[10] A. As best I recall, he retired before that.
[11] Q. Okay. Now, when you say you worked very closely
[12] with Mr. Hendricks, what do you mean by that? Can you
[13] just -
[14] A. I don't know how to describe it except that there
[15] would be telephone conversations, there might be - and of
[16] course, when I went to the plant, I made it a point to meet
[17] with all of those folks, and Mr. Hendricks was the senior
[18] man with the, all that experience that -
[19] Q. All what experience?
[20] A. His years at the plant. He knew, he knew a lot
[21] of the plant history, so to speak, that the younger
[22] engineers just had not experienced, so 1 relied a lot on Mr,
Page 58
[1] Hendricks' input. [2] Q. Was he, / guess, one of the first persons, people
[3] that you met at Texas City or that you contacted?
[4] A. I don't believe he was the first person I met. I
[5] met others on the plant manager's staff before 1 met Mr.
[6] Hendricks.
[7] Q. Can you give me an approximate date? Would it
[8] have been within a year after you started?
[9] A. Oh, within that year, yes, but initially, my
[10] first visits to the plant were the plant manager and his
[11] staff, at the general superintendent level. It's later,
[12] when I got more knowledgeable about the plant and was
[13] getting down to more specifics, 1 made it a point to get to
[14] Mr. Himes and his team. That took several weeks or months
[15] to get to that point.
[16] Q. Would it be fair to say that by the end of the
[17] first year or within the year of 1977, you would have
[18] teamed aboiu Mr. Hendricks and what he !md - his history
[19] at the plant?
[20] A. Very likely, yes.
[21] Q. And can you tell me, if you can, what his history
[22] at the platu was?__________________ __________________________
Page 59
[1] A. I don't remember. I just recall that he was an
[2] old-timer. [3] Q. Was he an old-timer that had some special
[4] resource value in the environmental area?
[5] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; vague.
[6] BY MR. MANTA;
[7] Q. I'll tell you what; I'm just trying to find om
[8] why you worked very closely with Mr. Hendricks when you were
[9] Director of Environmental Operations for MCI.
[10] A. Well, I didn't let my position inhibit me from
[11] talking to anybody that I thought might be helpful to me. I
[12] relied quite a bit - in fact, almost totally - on my staff
[13] to do the day-in, day-out kinds of communications, and
[14] participation, and whatever was appropriate, but I also felt
[15] that I would benefit by making a point to sit down with Mr.
[16] Himes' team on a one-on-one basis and have lunch with them,
[17] even, and [18] Q. Okay, why don't we go back to - I tlwuglu l
[19] could clarify my question, but why don't we go back to the
[20] question that was objected to on the grounds that it was
[21] vague and have it read back.
[22] THE COURT REPORTER:

| [1] "Q. Was he an old-timer that had some special

MR. SARFATTI: Repeat the same objections.

[7] Q. Mr. Hendricks could give you some history on [X] emironmental issues at the Texas City Plant; is that right? [9] A. Yes, be was in a poatioo to give me some [10] history. I bad no way of knowing how accurate it was or how [11] thorough it was, but be was, he was a guy that was there [12] before Miss Reid, and Mr. McCauley, and even Mr. Himes. [13] Q. Would you ever contact Mr. Hendricks after he [14] retired, to find out information? [15] A. I never did, no. [16] Q. Would your staff also have worked closely with [17] Mr. Hendricks? [18] A. Oh, certainly. [19] Q. Did Mr. Hendricks have a title at the Texas City [20] Plant? [21] A. Oh, I'm sure he did. I just don't remember it. [22] Q. Now, Ms. Reid, you had also mentioned that you
Page 61 [1] worked with Ms. Reid. Can you tell me approximately when [2] you would have first began working with Ms. Reid? [3] A. Of course, I don't recall the exact date, but it [4] seems to me that it happened in the early Eighties. It [5] wasn't the Seventies, so it was, the best guess 1 can, the [6] best estimate I can come up with is HO to '83, somewhere in [7] there. [8] Q. And did she basically take Ed Hendricks' place? [9] A. Oh, I don't know that she could ready take his [10] place. Assigned to the opening that occurred when Mr. [11] Hendricks was no longer available. [12] Q. She then, though, became one of the resources for [13] you at the Texas City Plant. Would that be correct? [14] A. Well, for me and my time, really, not just to me [15] alone. [16] MR. MANTA: Okay. We can break now. [17] (Luncheon recess from 12:10 to 1:25 p.m.) [18] AFTERNOON SESSION [19] MR. MANTA: Why don't we start by putting on the [20] record [21] MR. SARFATT1: The stipulation? [22] _____ MR. MANTA: No, what's going on.
Page 62 [1] MR. SARFATTI: Oh, with the documents'? [2] MR. MANTA; Yeah. [3] MR. SARFAlTl: Okay. Have you guysdiscussed and [4] decided what you want to -- [5] MR. MANTA: We have, yes. What we are going to [6] do, here, is put on the record, at least, our position. [7] MR. HUGHES: Go ahead. [8] MR. SARFATTI: Let me state what theissue is. I [9] think we had our conversation before the break, off the [10] record. The situation is that in lieu of a seven-day list [11] tor the Papageorge deposition, we received it on Saturday, [12] by Federal Express, the documents that were designated on [13] the seven-day list. We were later informed Monday afternoon [14] that Mr. Manta's office had designated an additional [15] document, and we were informed on Friday by Mr. Hughes' [16] office that there were a series of additional documents that [17] were designated. We were assured that we would receive from [18] Mr. Hughes' office the additional documents on Saturday. We [19] did not. A letter was sent to Mr. Hughes' office to the [20] attention of Mr. Brown, advising him of that fact. [21] .An attempt was made yesterday to send us those [22] documents by telecopy to my hotel. Only a portion of the
Page 63 [1] materials arrived, and apparently they are not yet [2] available. [3] With regard to Mr. Manta's document, that was [4] received yesterday, the day before the deposition. While [5] certainly 1 can understand while from time to time there may [6] be a need, after seven days, to designate additional [7] documents, in this case we're prepared to try to accommodate [8] defense counsel and allow the use of those documents, [9] subject to conditions. [10] One of them is that we have an opportunity to [11] consult with the witness about those documents with the [12] permission of defense counsel. [13] The second is that in the future, with regard to
[14] a deposition (hat Monsanto may initiate, if we find that we [15] need to supplement one of our own seven-day list [16] designations, that we be permitted to do so without [17] objection by defense counsel. If those conditions are [18] acceptable to Defendants in this case, we'll be prepared to [19] allow you to use those documents. [20] MR. MANTA: Okay, the first condition is [21] acceptable. The second condition is not acceptable, and I'd [22] just like to put on the record that these depositions -_______
Page 64 [1] this has come up before, both Monsanto witnesses and [2] insurance company defendant witnesses, and in that m situation, in the situations where it has come up, it has [4] been addressed on a deposition-by-deposition basis, using a [5] rule of reason. Mr. Papageorge's witness file was in excess [6] of 25 boxes, or approximately 25 boxes. We had [7] substantially reduced the volume of material. I don't think os] we sent to Mr. Sarfatti more than two boxes. [9] In addition, the document that was sent to Mr. [10] Sarfatti on Tuesday, I believe, is less than thirty pages. [11] It's most certainly less than fifty pages, I think. [12] MR. SARFATTI: It is. [13] MR. MANTA: And I had indicated to Mr. Sarfatti [14] that I would be willing to identify the pages that I want to [15] use and that he could consult with the witness about those [16] pages. That offer was rejected. I don't feel that [17] MR. SARFATTI: No, no offer has been rejected, [18] I've just stated two conditions. One is that if you make an [19] exception to the seven-day requirement of the case [20] management order in this case, we expect that there will be [21] no objection in the case of any other one deposition where [22] we, Monsanto, face a similar situation, and unless you can
Page 65 [1] give me that insurance, I don't see any reason why I would [2] should, why we should try to accommodate you. [3] MR. MANTA: What I'm saying is, I would not [4] accept those two conditions and made a counteroffer. [5] MR. SARFATTI: Condition number one. [6] MR. MANTA: Accepting condition number one, my [7] offer is, I will identify the particular pages within that [8] document that I'll use, and if that's satisfactory, we can P] go ahead, we'll use the document. [10] MR. SARFATTI: The fact that there may be only [11] certain portions of a document which you use is not of [12] particular concern or interest to me. What's of concern to [13] me is that if Monsanto accommodates Defendants' late [14] designation and late production of documents in this [15] instance, including a document that has yet to be produced [16] to us in its full form, we don't expect to face a similar [17] situation where we are required to supplement our [18] designation, yet receive objections from Defendants as to [19] the use of a handful of documents supplementary designated [20] at a deposition that we designate. If that's a problem, [21] then we have, you know, then there's a major issue here. [22] _____ MR. MANTA: Well, 1 think so.____________________
Page 66 [1] MR. SARFATTI: And I don't think that we're [2] prepared to create an exception unless we have an insurance [3] of reciprocity, and we're not asking for more than [4] reciprocity. [5] MR. MANTA: l think there's been reciprocity, but [6] ITI[7] MR. HUGHES: I'd like to say something for the [8] record, too, Steve. In our case, I believe it's an issue of P] four documents comprising about twelve pages. It was my [10] understanding that that supplemental list of four documents [11] was faxed out one day late, and I believe that Monsanto has [12] had adequate opportunity to pull those documents, those [13] twelve pages. [14] MR. SARFATTI: We received it, in fact, two days [15] late, I believe. [16] MR. HUGHES: It should have been one day late. I
[17] can check on that fact. [18] In any event, I know there was also - I wasn't [19] there to take care of it - we did agree to get those [20] documents to you, and for whatever reason that that hasn't

[21] occurred, so be it, and l certainly will still attempt to do [221 that.__________________________'______________________________
Page 67 [1] I'd also like to point out that we have been [2] accommodating, 1 believe, the defense group, in this very [3] deposition. 1 believe, through no fault of Mr. Papageorge,
[4] I don't believe Monsanto adequately put him on notice as to [5] where he might be expected to be for this deposition, and [6] as - and how long he would be expected to be there, based [7] on his testimony this morning. We have agreed to come when [S] we were all expecting to be in Wilmington to come to St. [9] Louis and accommodaleed Monsanto on a very late change in [10] schedule when I believe Defendants could have taken the [11] position that we can't change it on such late notice and [12] we'll have to reschedule Mr. Papageorge, and Monsanto [13] doesn't get any credit days as a result, so we have we have [14] been accommodating. [15] I don't think you can ask either Mr. Manta, or [16] myself, or Mr. Johnson, to make any commitments on behalf of [17] the defense group, as you well know. You are asking for a [18] stipulation that would go to everything, and that is a [19] question that would have to be presented to the defense [20] group steering committee, as l think you know in having [21] dealt with Defendants in the past. If you are going to take [22] the position that we can't use the few documents that we_______
Page 68 [1] have, that's certainly a position you can take, and we'll [2] have to deal with that in the future. That's my statement [3] for the record. [4] (Brief interruption.) [5] MR. HUGHES: In any event. I think it is [6] something to be worked out on a case-by-case basis. One [7] reason I couldn't make any promises is currently, Monsanto [8] is only planning to take one deposition that we're concerned [9] with, and I can hardly make an agreement that would be [10] binding as to all depositions.
[11] MR. SARFAll 1: Well, I'm not asking for a [12] commitment as to all depositions. I'm saying in the event [13] tile situation should arise with regard to a deposition that [14] Monsanto initiates, if there is a requirement or a situation [15] where Monsanto needs to supplement its seven-day list [16] designation with a number of documents roughly equivalent to [17] die number that you wish to include in your designations in [18] the Papageorge deposition, that, that we be accommodated, [19] and if you are not prepared to make that stipulation, I just [20] don't see why we should vary from the requirements of the [21] seven-day [22] _____ MR. MANTA: 1 just want to make it clear -___________
Page 69 [1] MR. SARFAl l 1: - provision. [2] MR. MANTA: - that we wouldn't accommodate [3] Monsanto, we're saying that we are not prepared right now to
[4] enter and we cannot enter a blanket stipulation.
[5] MR. SARFATT1: Okay, you reserve the right -
[6] MR. MANTA: That is rewriting the case management
[7] order, and I think -
[8] MR. SARFAlTl: You are reserving the right -
[9] well, we can stipulate to deal with, you know, exigencies
[10] like this that occur from time to time. If you need to
.
[11] consult with your, your own defense group, then I think you
[12] should make an effort to do that. I just, 1 just feel that
[13] there is a certain unfairness where you are asking us to
[14] make an accommodation without agreeing to accord us a [15] reciprocal accommodation if the need should arise. [16] MR. MANTA: I don't need to consult the defense [17] group, because we won't agree to that proposed stipulation. [18] MR. SARFATTI: Verywell, let's proceed. [19] MR. HUGHES: Let's get it clear. Is it going to [20] he. then, your posiuon we cannot use those documents? [21] MR. SARFATTI: Yes. [22] _____ MR. HUGHES: Okay. Well, you should expect the
Page 70 [1] same kind of cooperation back. You asK what's the reason [2] you should stipulate? Cooperation in getting this very [3] difficult, very heavily scheduled case completed in a [4] relatively professional manner; and if you are not - I
[5] would expect Monsanto to want to do this on a
[6] deposition-by-deposition basis, so that there is no abuse by
[7] Defendants where there is some mix-up, and I would think [8] that you would understand that Defendants, as well, would
[9] want to consider it on a deposition-by-deposition basis.
[10] MR. SARFATTI: Well, I beg to differ. The
[11] premise of my request is to avoid possible abuse by defense [12] counsel where Monsanto finds itself in a situation where it [13] has to designate some additional documents, only to appear
[14] at the deposition and find that defense counsel refused to
[15] permit the witness to testify with regard to them. That's,
[16] that's the objective of, of my request, to prevent discovery
[17] abuse, not to lead to it. [18] MR. MANTA: Okay, can you tell me, do you know of
[19] one situation where that's happened?
[20] MR. SARFATTI: No, I don't know of one situation
[21] they're where it's happened, and I can't tell you a specific
[22] situation where it's been accommodated, and I just, I'm________
Page 71 [1] shocked that there's this level of opposition to my request
PI for reciprocity. [3] MR. HUGHES: Well, are you saying, then, that
[4] Monsanto is willing to stipulate that in any deposition, [5] you'll let Defendants use documents that they don't give to
[6] you until the last day? [7] MR. SARFATTI: No, I'm simply requesting that in
[8] the event it should occur, once in the future, involving a
[9] similar quantity of documents which aren't produced at the [10] time as part of the seven-day procedure, that we be [11] accommodated without risk that the Defendants will, for some
[12] reason, arbitrary or not, refuse us to have those documents
[13] marked. I'm not asking for a blanket stipulation, just
[14] reciprocity, which is one instance in the future, if it
[15] should ever arise. I mean again, I'm shocked that I'm
[16] getting this level of opposition. [17] MR. BRODERICK: Would that be in circumstances,
[18] for example, where there was significant accommodation on
[19] the part of Defendants to come to a location far away from
[20] where it was originally expected?
[21] MR. SARFATTI: No, that's a separate issue, and I
[22] think and as will be brought out, I think, later in the__________
Page 72
[1] testimony, there is, there was an emergency situation that [2] necessitated this witness being in the St. Louis area during
[3] this week. The question wasn't asked as to what the
[4] emergency was, but when the opportunity arises, there'll be
[5] further questions on that subject.
[6] MR. MANTA: One last proposal. Could I use the
[7] title page? The first page? [8] MR. SARFATTI: You know, to be perfectly honest,
[9] I really, I couldn't tell you what the title page is.
[10] During the next break, if you want to point it out to me,
[11] I'll lake a look at it.
[12] MR. MANTA: Okay. [13] MR. MANTA: Well, let's get started.
[14] BY MR. MANTA: [15] Q. Could you tell me, Mr. Papageorge, what your
[16] involvement was with Monsanto's world-wide environmental
[17] guidelines?
[18] A. I was privileged to see drafts as these
[19] guidelines were being prepared. I was asked to comment.
[20] Today, I don't remember what comments I made, but I was
part [21] of the group that was asked to critique these thoughts and
[22] help develop the final version.______________________________
Page 73
[1] Q. Why did Monsanto come up with these guidelines?
[2] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; no foundation.
[3] A. I can't speak for Monsanto in the way that I j [4] understand you mean. I just don't know whose thought it
j was ! [5] that such guidelines should be prepared, so I don't know
j [6] that - I can't answer it.

[10] A. VVefl, they were certainly involved. I don't know [11] who the editor or author was. [12] Q. Who asked you to take a look at drafts? [13] A. I, today, don't know, don't remember. [14] Q. You don't recall what the purpose of these [15] guidelines was? [16] A. I think they were self-explanatory. If you read [17] the guidelines, I think they, they're pretty [18] self-explanatory. [19] Q. But you, as the Director of Environmental [20] Operations for MCI, don't ktww exactly why they came up with [21] these guidelines? [22] _____ A. 1 can't speak for the person or persons who_______
Page 74 [1] thought of the idea and promulgated the program and [2] guidelines. [3] MR. MANTA: We're up to 2. [4] (Papageorge Deposition Exhibit 2 marked for [5] identification.) [6] A. I don't remember this document. [7] BY MR. MANTA: [8] Q. I'll get to that. [9] Exhibit 2, Papageorge Exhibit 2, is an August SO, [10] 1977, memorandum. The subject is, "Worldwide Environmental [11] Protection Guidelines," and die identification numbers are [12] WGK 1202162-WGK 1202164. [13] On die right-hand column, there's a "cc" list and [14] it has "W. B. Papageorge. " Is diat referring to you ? [15] A. WeD, that's my name, yes, sir. [16] Q. You don't know of any odier Papageorge, do you? [17] A. Not that I - not with those initials. [18] Q. Is E3NJ your mailbox at St. Louis? [19] A. Essentially, that is my location, office [20] location. [21] Q. Now, you had said dial you don't recall seeing [22] this. Is diat right?__________________________________________
Page 75 [1] A. That is correct, yeah. It's been awhile. [2] Q. Can you look at die second sentence of die first [3] paragraph? Says, "I believe vwe all agree diat [4] implementation of these guidelines will reqidre significant [5] plant resources over die next five years. " [6] Can you tell me why implementation of die [7] guidelines would require a significant amount of resources? [8] A. WeD, that's Mr. Pierie's evaluation of the [9] situation. I, I don't really know what he had in mind in [10] terms ofwhat it took to do what these guidelines refer to. [11] Q. Do you have any idea why die guidelines would [12] cost a significatU or reqidre significaru plant resources [13] over the next five years? [14] A. At this point in time, I am in no position to [15] iinswer because I don't really recall, I honestly don't [16] recall what was in place to start with in order to determine [17] what else was needed to meet the objective. [18] Q. Can you tell me aboia die, die guidelbie [19] concerning plant assessments or plant-wide environmental [20] assessments? [21] A. I recall the program. I don't recall the [22] details._____________________________________________________
Page 76 [1] Q. What do you recall about die program? [2] A. As best as I recall, it had to do with an [3] evaluation to be made of the plant and its operations in the [4] various streams and emissions, to establish a, a data base [5] to help the management determine what, if anything, would be [6] required to make changes. [7] Q. Were diese plant assessments somediing that [8] started when you began as Director of Environmental [9] Operations widi MCI? [10] A. The program was instituted shortly after that, [11] yes, sir. Mm-hmm. [12] Q. Turning to page -- die next page, it looks as if [13] it's in die mtmbered heading "3," ''Mabitam Plant [14] Environmental Assessment Documents. " Did you maintain plant [15] environmental assessment documents as Director of
[16] Environmental Operations for MCI?
[17] A. Did I, personally?
[18] Q. Yes.
[19]
A. No.
[20] Q. Who did?
[21] A. Somebody at the plant. It could be anyone the
[22] plant manager designated.__________
Page 77
[1] Q. And what manager would diat have been? Would it
[2] have been Mr. Pierte?
[3] A. No, I said the plant manager.
[4] Q. Oh,okay. Not your manager.
[5] A. No.
[6] Q. The first sentence says, "The guidelbie requires
m die completion of uiidal environmental assessmem surveys
[8] by January 1, 1980."
PI To your knowledge, were assessment surveys
[10] completed by January l, 1980, for the Texas City Plant?
[11] A. I don't recall if all of them were completed on
[12] that date, nor do I recall that some were not. I just don't
[13] remember.
[14] Q. Do you have any specific recollection aboia the
[15] Texas City survey?
[16] A. No, I don't
[17] Q. Can you tell me if these surveys addressed areas
[18] outside the plant? Waste disposal areas that the plant may
[19] have used?
[20] MR. SARFATT1: Objection; no foundation.
[21] A. Again, I don't recall any reference to outside
[22] areas. I just don't recall.
Page 78
[1] BY MR. MANTA:
[2] Q. Did you receive acopy of die plant assessments
[3] as diey were done ?
[4] A. I don't remember actually holding a copy in my
[5] hand, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I just -
[6] Q. Would it be part of your practice as Director of
[7] Environmental Operations for MCI to review such documents?
[8] And by diat, I mean die plant environmental impact
m assessments.
[10] A. Can you help me with "review"? Do you mean
[11] peruse and become knowledgeable with it or to comment on it?
[12] I-
[13] Q. Well, I would, I would think bodt, but let me ask
[14] it diis way. As part of your responsibilities as Director
[15] of die Environmental Operations for MCI, one of die
[16] responsibilities you had was to - and I'm paraphrasing
[17] here, and you can tell me if I'm wrong, but basically, leam
[18] the environmental issues at die plants for which you were
[19] responsible for and keep up widi diem. Is diat correct?
[20] A. To a degree, it's correct. I was not expected to
[21] notice finite details of everything that occurred at that
[22] plant regarding environmental issues. I was expected to
Page 79
[1] know enough to be able to sense responsible behavior or
[2] whether cooperation was there or not, and so on. I relied
[3] primarily on the plant to do its job and I relied on my
[4] staff to monitor and act in my behalf, so I was really sort
[5] of almost three steps removed from the actual nitty-gritty
[6] work that was going on.
[7] Q. Do you diink you would have reviewed an
[8] environmental impact assessment for die Texas City Plant?
[9] A. I don't remember, really, the document, but I do
[10] remember many documents. It's kind of a fuzzy picture at
[11] the moment.
[12] It just doesn't stand out in my memory.
[13] Q. Reading any of diem ?
[14] A. I recall reading some. I don't recall which
[15] ones, I don't recall how many.
[16] MR. MANTA: For the record, the document that I
[17] provided to you, Mr. Sarfatti, I believe, is a Texas City
[18] environmental impact assessment. Whether there's more than
[19] one or that's it, I don't, I don't know.
[20] BY MR. MANTA:
[21] Q. Did you have any understanding as to die purpose
[22] of die environmental impact assessments?

[1] A. I had an understanding, yes, sir. [2] Q. Okay, could you tell me what that was? [3] A. It was, in a way, a candid camera shot of where [4] (lie plant stood regarding its environmental affairs at that
[5] particular time.
[6] Q. Would you expect that it would identify major
[7] issues of concern? P] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; opinion, and vague.

[11] BY MR. MANTA: [12] Q. Would you expect the environmental impact [13] assessment to identify the environmental issues of concern [14] at that time?
[15] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections.
[16] A. Well, it would identify the situation. Now,
[17] whether they were matters of concern or not depends on a
[18] second thought process on somebody's part back at the plant. [19] BY MR. MANTA:
[20] Q. Okay, would it he back at the plant or would it [21] he something that would be relayed to people in St. Louis? [22] ______ A. The plant is responsible for its activities, its_________
Page 81
[1] operations; it stands on its own. It can use others to help [2] it arrive at decisions on what to do, it can use others to
[3] get resources, but it remains a plant responsibility. [4] Q. Would you have been concerned or would you have [5] taken any action with regard to major issues identified in a [6] impact assessment? [7] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; hypothetical. ffl A. If my staff members came to me asking for my [9] assistance in getting resources or getting the proper [10] attention to a matter they thought was important, I would [11] then step in and try to help. Unless I received that
[12] request, I would rely on the people assigned to do these
[13] things at the plant to do them properly, and my staff would [14] monitor that activity, to see that it met the state or
[15] federal regulations or Monsanto's policies, and so on.
[16] BY MR. MANTA:
[17] Q. For specific problem-solving tasks or solvbig a [18] particular environmental problem, is that something that you
[19] would be involved m?
[20] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; hypothetical. [21] A. If I'm invited to participate, certainly I'd be [22] involved. If I am informed that the matter isn't getting_____
Page 82
[1] appropriate attention, I would get involved. [2] BY MR. MANTA:
[3] Q. Would you get involved if neither of the two [4] things that you just mentioned happened but you had reviewed [5] an impact assessmetu that raised some questions? [6] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; hypothetical, and [7] vague. [8] A. Raised some questions where? In the author's P>] mind, or -
[10] BY MR. MANTA:
[11] Q. I'm trying - all I'm trying to do is understand
[12] if - what action you would take, personally, with regard to
[13] an issue raised in an environmental impact assessment. [14] A. I would take no action until I had evidence that [15] the situation is not being addressed appropriately. Say a
[16] long period of time goes by, nothing happens, or I would get
[17] information from my staff or from the plant directly that
[18] they bad applied for funding and the money hasn't been [19] appropriated yet and they couldn't move until they got so:
[20] Under those conditions, I would step in and try to go to bat [21] for them. I would not meddle with the plant's affairs [22] directly, because that's the plant manager's responsibility
Page 83
[1] and they don't like meddling from a home office. [2] Q. Was that true with areas other than [3] environmental? [4] A. That's generally true. Being a plant manager, I [5] can vouch for that.
[6] MR. MANTA: This is Exhibit 3.
[7] (Papageorge Deposition Exhibit 3 marked for [8] identification.) [9] BY MR. MANTA: [10] Q. Looking at Papageorge Exhibit 3, it is a draft [11] dated 6-9-78, bearing Bates number CBY 1303023- CBY1303049. [12] I'd tike you to take a moment and look through [13] this document, as well as the last few pages, which indicate [14] distribution, and tell me if, if you are familiar with this [15] doctanent. [16] MR. SARFATTI: This is an approximately 25-page [17] document. Do you want him to read page after page or just [18] skim through it? [19] MR. MANTA: I just want to know if he's familiar [20] with the document, if he's seen it before. [21] MR. SARFATTI: Very well. [22] (Witness peruses said document.)
Page 84 [1] A. I can't place it. [2] BY MR. MANTA: [3] Q. There's references on the docitment to slides. It [4] appears to have been an outline of some sort of [5] presentation. The title of the document appears to be [6] "Environmental Operations MCI." Mr. Papageorge, do you [7] think if there was a presentation concerning environmental [8] operations of MCI, that you, as Director of Environmental [9] Operations MCI, would have attended? [10] A. That's a good likelihood, yes, sir. [11] Q. Now, I'd like to direct your attention to - it's [12] page 3 of the document. [13] A. The third sheet? [14] Q. Mm-limm. [15] A. Yeah, okay, I see it. [16] Q. And I'd like you to read the - in the middle [17] paragraph, slide 4, there's a statement, last sentence says, [18] quote, "Simply stated, the environmental policy staff has [19] the responsibility for developing corporate positions and [20] actions related to environmental matters through the [21] operating company. Environmental operations departments [22] insure consistency throughout the corporation."
Page 85 [1] My question is, is it your understanding that the [2] Environmental Operations Department implemented policy [3] created by the environmental policy staff? [4] A. No, they monitored the implementation at the [5] plants, to assure consistency. They were sort of the [6] watchdogs. [7] Q. Who were the watchdogs? [8] A. The environmental operations team monitored [9] activities at the plants, to ensure consistency with [10] corporate positions and actions. [11] Q. Now, mas part of that monitoring the plant [12] environmental assessments? [13] A. I suppose that the plant environmental assessment [14] could be a starting point for the monitoring, a "Where do [15] you go next" kind of look-see. [16] Q. Where does who go next? [17] A. Where does the plant go. Here's your, your [18] candid camera shot; here's where you are today; where do you [19] want to be, what does it take to get there so that you [20] comply with the corporate policies and actions. [21] Q. Would you review the plant environmental [22] assessments to insure compliance with Monsanto's corporate
Page 86
[1] policies? [2] A. Someone in my - on my team would review it, for [3] sure. I may, on occasion, see some of these assessments or [4] parts of assessments. [5] Q. Okay, l`d like to mm to page - and I'm going [6] to refer to the microfilm number on the right-hand side, CBY [7] 091626. [8] A. I have it. m Q. Does that refresh your recollection as to the [10] plant environmental assessments? [11] A. The, the statement about establishing and [12] maintaining assessments, I was tuned in on that one all [13] right, but the date, I see it, there, January 1, 1980, but I

[14] really don't remember it. [15] Q. Now, you said you wouldn't maintain the [16] environmental assessments; is that right? [17] A. I wouldn't maintain it. [18] Q. You wouldn't keep a copy of the plant [19] environmental -
[20] A. My staff would. The team would, in its files, [21] yes. [22] _____ Q. And this is part of Monsanto's Worldwide____________
Page 87 [1] Environmental Protection Guidelines, right? These plant [2] environmental assessments be conducted and maintained? Is [3] that right? [4] A, That's, that's the stated word here, yes, sir. [5] Q. Bia that doesn 't refresh your recollection as to [6] these, these assessments or documents? [7] A. I didn't say that. I know that there were [8] assessments made, I know that there was a policy relating to [9] those assessments. What I didn't - what I can't recall is [10] that January 1, 1980, date. [11] Q. Would you be in charge of seeing to it that the [12] assessments were completed? [13] A. No, that responsibility rested with the General [14] Manager of Manufacturing, to whom the plants reported. [15] Q. And wlu> would that be at that -- at, say, between [16] 1977 and 1983? [17] A. That would have been Earl Brasfieid. [18] . Q. Are you familiar with hydrogeological evaluations [19] that were separate and apart from the environmental [20] assessments? [21] A. Where? [22] _____ Q. In your position as Director of Environmental________
Page 88 [1] Operations for MCI, that various plants, in addition to [2] having environmental impact assessments, had [3] hydrogeological [4] A. You keep using the word "environmental impact [5] assessments." These assessments are not environmental [6] impact assessments. They are plant environmental [7] assessments. No attempt was made to determine the impact on [8] the environment. [9] Q. Okay. I'm sorry, l misspoke. [10] A. And, and I'm trying to remember your question, [11] now, regarding the - [12] Q. Hydrogeological surveys. Do you recall those [13] doettmetus? [14] A. With reference to hydrogeological surveys, I do [15] know that such surveys were made at several Monsanto sites [16] nt different times, through, over a decade that I was [17] involved. The execution of those surveys was a decision of [18] the plant, based on their assessment of the situation that [19] existed at each plant. If the management of the plant [20] decided that they needed such a survey, they would go ahead [21] and arrange for it. [22] _____ Q. Do you recall such a survey for the Texas City_______
Page 89 [1] Plata? [2] A. I do not, but that doesn't mean it happened or [3] didn't happen. I just don't recall that. [4] Q. Now, from what you said, 1 tmderstand that not [5] all plants had this type of survey done and that it was up [6] to the pla/U if they wanted to have one done? [7] A. No, no, it's up to the plant to decide whether [8] one was required, based on the conditions that existed at [9] each plant. [10] A plant that spins nylon fiber, for example, may [11] not perceive a need for a hydrogeological survey because [12] it's - their operation is such that it happens in a dry [13] room, and the wheels are spinning and the fiber is made. [14] Why do a hydrogeological survey? So it really is based on [15] the conditions that exist at the she. [16] Q. Do you know approximately when these [17] hydrogeological evaluations were completed? [18] A. No, I don't know this that they were - that one [19] can say they were ever completed. The conditions are
I [20] monitored every day of the work week and some day, some
i [21] someone may come up and say, "I need a study."
[22]Q. Can you tell me what conditions would warrant a
Page 90
[1] hydrogeological survey?
[2] MR. SARFAt 11: Objection: lack of foundation, and
[3] opinion. [4] A. Not being a hydrogeologist, I find myself in a
[5] position where I really can't give you a good answer on
[6] that, a meaningful answer. [7] BY MR. MANTA:
[8] Q. You could tell me what conditions didn i warratu [9] a hydrogeological survey.
[10] MR. SARFAT I t: Same objections.
[11] BY MR. MANTA: [12] Q. And you were Director of Environmental Operations
[13] for, among other plants, the Texas City Plata, and I would
[14] take it that you are familiar with the operations at the
[15] Texas City Plant. Is that right, generally? [16] A. Generally familiar,yes.
[17] Q. Let me ask the question this way, then. What
[18] about the Texas City Plant would warrant a hydrogeological
[19] evaluation? [20] MR. SARFATIf: Same objections. Lack of
PI] foundation, and opinion.
[22]A. Well, again, I, not being a hydrogeologist, I
Page 91
[1] don't know what conditions must exist underneath that plan
[2] to require special attention being given to those substrata
[3] formations. [4] MR. MANTA: I'm going to have to object to the
[5] objections that are made by Counsel for Monsanto on the
[6] grounds that I believe that they are improper coaching [7] objections, prohibited by the Special Discovery Master's
[8] order in this case, and I think that those objections are in
[9] violation of that order, and if it continues, I think we're
[10] going to have to talk to the Special Discovery Master,
[11] because I don't think that objections on the ground of [12] opinion, or foundation, or what have you are permitted, and
[13] I think they are coaching objections. [14] MR. SARFATTI: Well, we disagree with you, and we
[15] are prepared to state our objections and a brief ground for
[16] them without getting involved in any colloquy.
[17] MR. MANTA: I don't think colloquy was the issue,
[18] but [19] BY MR. MANTA: P0] Q. Mr. Papageorge, do you have any opinion as to why
PI] a hydrogeological evaluation of the Texas City Plata would
[22] be warranted?
Page 92
[1] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections.
[2] A. 1 don't know that I have a personal opinion, I
[3] would suggest that if the plant decided to have one, I would
[4] have supported it. That's the position 1 was in at the
[5] time. [6] BY MR. MANTA: [7] Q. Would you ever suggest that a plant have such an
[8] evaluation, based upon your knowledge of the platu's
[9] operations? [10] A. Oh, I wouldn't have enough knowledge to make such
[11] a suggestion. [12] (Papageorge DepositionExhibit 4 marked for
[13] identification.) [14] BY MR. MANTA: [15] Q. Mr. Papageorge, you've been slutwn what's been

[4] A. I just don't recall it. [5] Q. I'm sorry for interrupting. [ft] Do you think it would have been likely that you [7] would receive such a docianent as Director of Environmental [X] Operations for MCI? [9] A. It's possible, but I just, again, 1 don't know if [10] Mr. Jessee ever issued this, frankly. It might have been a [11] work product that he gave to his boss, and I just don't [12] know. [13] Q. Turning to page 5 of the attachment, there's a [14] heading, Roman numeral II, "Product Plant Emissions." Do [15] you have that? [16] A. What page was that, again? [17] Q. Page 5 of the attachment. [IX] A. I see it. I have it. [19] Q. It says, "Compliance with Resource Conservation <5 [20] Recovery Act," and across from that, "Issue Coordinator, " it [21] says, "Sayers. " Can you tell me who Mr. Sayers is, [22] S-a-y-e-r-s?_________________________________________________
Page 94 [1] A. Richard Sayers was the individual I couldn't [2] recall earlier today, a member of Mr. Throdahl's [3] environmental policy staff. [4] Q. And DEO's, who do they - who does that refer to? [5] A. That refers to the Directors of Environmental [ft] Operations. [7] Q. Would that include you? [X] A. Yes. [9] Q. Okay, that's under the heading of "Prime [10] Responsibility. " [11] A. Yes, as perceived by the author. [12] Q. Do you dispute the indication that DEO's had [13] prime responsibility for certain of the items listed here [14] under, under the Roman tutmeral II? [15] A. I'd have to read it more thoroughly than I am at [lft] the moment. [17] Q. Why don't I ask you this. Item B says, [IS] "Implenunu Environmental Practice GttideUne 2. Establish [19] Monsanto monitored and/or controlled disposition of all [20] wastes. " [21] Would you agree that the DEO's had prime [22] responsibility for that?_______________________________________
Page 95 [1] A. Well, first I'd have to refresh my memory on what [2] Guideline Number 2 was. [3] Q. tV7iy don't we look back on, I believe it's the [4] exhibit that's the overhead or the outline of the [5] presentation. I think it's in there. [ft] It's on the microfilm number 1624. [7] (Witness peruses said document.) [X] A. In my opinion, the prime responsibility for [9] implementing Guideline Number 2 was the plant manager at die [10] appropriate sites. [11] BY MR. MANTA: [12] Q. Why do you think Mr. Jessee would identify the [13] DEO's as having prime responsibility for that? [14] A. You are asking me to step in Mr. Jessee's shoes. [15] Q. .Vo, I'm not asking to you step inhis shoes. I [16] think mv question is just based upon your being a Director [17] of Environmental Operations and working with Mr. Jessee, why [IX] he would identify DEO's has having prime responsibility for [19] Environmental Practice GttideUne Number 2. [20] A. 1 don't know what he's thinking there. I do know [21] that DEO's - it was impossible for a DEO to do that. He [22] didn't have the resources. He didn't have the people, he
. Page 96 [1] didn't have the shovels or whatever it took, the buckets to [2] put it in. He's sitting there m St. Louis, 800 miles away. [3] Tlint's, that is not a realistic assignment of [4] responsibility. [5] Q. How about for estabUshutg Monsaiuo-monitored [6] and/or controUed disposition of all wastes? [7] A. Well, that's what the Guideline Number 2 is all [X] about. [9] Q. Okay. So that would, that would be the plant
[10] manager?
[11] A. It would have to be. He's got the resources to [12] do it.
[13] Q. How abotu ultimate responsibility, and not prime
[14] responsibility?
[15] MR. SARFAll I: Objection; vague.
[16] BY MR. MANTA:
[17] Q. Would you agree that DEO's had ubimate
[18] responsibility?
[19] MR. SARFAl'll: Objection: vague.
[20] A. I have a problem with the word "ultimate.'' I
[21] don't know what that means. If it doesn't get done, he gets
[22] hung, or -
Page 97
[1] BY MR. MANTA:
[2] Q. Basically, yes.
[3] MR. SARFAl It: That's the first good question
[4] you've asked all day.
[5] MR. HUGHES: Butnot literally.
[6] A. I did not understand the system was working that
[7] way when I was involved.
[8] The ultimate responsibility of all activity in
[9] Monsanto plants rests with the plant manager.
[10] BY MR. MANTA:
[11] Q. I'm trying to understand what you did as a
[12] Director of Environmental Operations for MCI?
[13] MR. SARFATTI: Is that aquestion?
[14] MR. MANTA: Yes.
[15] MR. SARFATTI: It'sa statement.
[16] BY MR. MANTA:
[17] Q. If you weren't ultimately or primarily
[18] responsible for at least the activities that are identified
[19] there, did you have atty responsibility with respect to those
[20] activities?
[21] MR. SARFAl 11: Objection: vague.
[22] A. My responsibility was primarily one of
Page 98
[1] communications up and down the organization.
[2] The position of the Director of Environmental
[3] Operations was perceived to be one that could be removed
[4] from the daily pressures of the plant, concentrate on
[5] environmental matters, and serve as a help to the plants
[6] when they requested it and we could open some doors for
[7] them, if necessary, go to bat for them with the upper
[8] bosses, to give them support. That's the kind of role we
[9] played, here.
[10] BY MR. MANTA:
[11] Q. Okay, let's turn to page 8 and down to mtmber 9,
[12] Worldwide Etivironmental Protection Guideline Number 2.
[13] Issue coordinator is Carpenter. Can you tell me who Mr.
[14] Carpenter is?
[15] A. Mr. Carpenter was the Director of Environmental
[16] Operations for the Monsanto Agricultural Chemical Company,
[17] Q. That did not include the Texas City PUmt, l take
[18] it?
[19] A. No. [20] Q. Looking down at D beneath 9, it says, "As
[21] required, monitor the contauiment of on-site buried wastes
[22] and take corrective action." And prime responsibility,
Page 99
[1] again, is identified as DEO's.
[2] Is it your understanding that the DEO's had prime
P] responsibiUty for item D?
[4] A. No, my understanding is that Mr. Jessee thought
[5] it ought to be ours. [6] Q. And what's your understanding of who had prime
[7] responsibility of item D?
[8] A. The plant managers.
I [9]
Q. Can you tell me if item D refers to only existing
i [10] waste disposal sites for buried waste, or does it also refer
I [111 to past waste disposal sites?
| [12]
A. It refers to any waste buried on plant property
I [13] within the plant fence.
[14] Q. And that would inchtde past disposal at the ! [15] plant?
| [16]
A. Any buried waste.

[17] (Papageorge Deposition Exhibit 5 marked for [18] identification.) [191 BY MR. MANTA: [20] Q. Looking at Exhibit 5, it is a September 26, 1978, [21] memorandum with Bates number CBY 2822759 - CBY 2822770. [22] _____ I'd like to direct your attention to the bottom_____________
Page 100 [1] of the page and ask you to tell me if that's your signature. [2] A. That is my signature. [3] Q. Do you lurve any reason to believe that you did [4] not prepare this document? [5] A. No, there's no reason to believe so. [6] Q. Do you recall preparing this document? [7] A. No, I don't, really. [8] Q. I'd like you to take a moment and read the first [9] two paragraphs and let me know if tltat refreshes your [10] recollection as to your involvement with the Worldwide [11] Environmental Protection Guideiuies. [12] A. I, I don't know that 1 said I was never involved [13] with them. I was involved with them. [14] Q. Oh, I'm sorry, 1 didn't mean to say, I don't [15] think I said that you were never involved. [16] A. You said to refresh my memory regarding [17] involvement with the guidelines. Wed, I know I was [18] involved. [19] Q. Can you tell me what your mvolvement was? [20] A. Wed, I was certainly involved as, as 1 mentioned [21] earlier, I believe, that 1 was given the opportunity to [22] review drafts as they were being developed, 1 was aware they
Page 101 [1] were being developed [2] Q. Does it refresh your recollection at all as to [3] being uivotved in the implementation of the guidelines? [4] A. Wed, I certainly was involved in making certain [5] that the information was shared with the plants. I do [6] Q. Was it your responsibility tluu -- to see to it [7] that the guideiuies were implemented by the plants? [8] A. My true responsibility was making certain the [9] plants were aware of these guidelines, they were aware of [10] what was expected in terms of progress toward fulfilling ad [11] the requirements of the guidelines. The actual [12] implementation, as I had said earlier, was a responsibility [13] of the site managers. [14] Q. Site matiagers, you mean the plant managers? [15] A. Plant or site, yes, sir. [16] Q. In the second paragraph, the second-to-last [17] sentence reads, quote, "It is important that we integrate [18] the guideluie compliance program into the development of the [19] JRA's and goals for 1979 and subsequent years. ` [20] Why was it important to integrate the Worldwide [21] Emironmental Protection Guidelines into JRA s and goals for [22] 1979 and subsequent years?___________________________________
Page 102 [1] A. Wed, the reference to JRA's and goals refers to [2] Monsanto's program in place at the time for establishing [3] yearly objectives on the part of each employee and measuring [4] progress toward achieving those objectives, and since these [5] guidelines were perceived, first of ad, to be new, a new [6] idea, it was important that people preparing their JRA's and [7] goals for the coming year to include these new thoughts in [8] their goals. [9] Q. And these new thoughts are the Worldwide [10] Emironmental Protection Guideiuies? [11] A. Yes, that's what we're talking about. [12] Q. Okay, just so 1 understand it, so that the [13] guidelines could be carried out. it was necessary to have a [14] mechanism to do tluu. [15] A. Wed, that's one purposes of JRA's. The other is [16] to make certain that this new program becomes ready a way [17] of life within Monsanto, just as other expectations are. [18] Q. Would the JRA's and goals lurve been formulated at [19] the platu level? For the individuals. I'm speaking. [20] A. For plant people, it would be at the plant level. [21] Everybody in Monsanto has, or had them. [22] _____ Q. Biu this, this was a way to get the plant to___________
Page 103
I [1] incorporate some corporate guidelines and goals; is tluu
[2] right?
[3] A. That was the intent.
i [4]
Q. Do you have or did you have JRA's when you were
l [5] at Monsanto?
' [6] | [7]
A. Certainly. MR. MANTA: We have asked, Mr.Sarfatti, for Mr.
; [8] Papageorge's JRA's and goals and have not yet received it
i [9] from Monsanto. I designated it, but we don't have it.
I [10] Obviously, we can't use it if we don't have it.
[11] MR. SARFATTI: We saw your request, which came in
[12] by letter last week, and we forwarded it out to Monsanto to
[13] inquire into what the status of the production of, of those
[14] documents was, and I was advised today that those documents,
[15] along with similar documents tor a number of other former
[16] Monsanto employees, cannot be located. The search is
[17] continuing, but I don't think you can expect that those
[18] documents are going to be produced in the near term, if they
[19] still exist.
[20] BY MR. MANTA:
[21] Q. Mr. Papageorge, do you, ui your personal
[22] possession, have your JRA's from your employment at__________
Page 104
[1] Monsanto?
[2] A. I do not.
[3] Q.How about your results reviews?
[4] A. I don't have any of that.
I [5]
Q. Is it your understanding that ultimately, the
, [6] JRA's were used in tluu regard?
I [7]
MR. SARFATTI: Objection; no foundation.
I [8]
A. I can't speak for how extensively and effectively
| [9] that recommendation was implemented,
j [10] j [11]
BY MR. MANTA: Q. Are you aware that it was rejected?
: [12] | [13]
MR. SARFATTI: Same objection. A. There again, I'm not aware of acceptance or
! [14] rejection,
j [15]
BY MR. MANTA:
[16] Q. You can't say [17] A. It was not in my position to go over people's
[18] JRA's to monitor that. [19] Q. Okay. Do you have any reason to believe that it
[20] rejected? [21] MR. SARFATTI: Same objection. [22] _______ A. No more than a reason that it was accepted. I
Page 105
[1] just have no reading at all.
[2] BY MR. MANTA: [3] Q. Do you know whether your JRA included information
[4] on implementation of Monsanto worldwide guideiuies?
[5] A. I remember that, yes, there was, yeah.
[6] Q. Your JRA did include tluu?
[7] A. It had reference to the guidelines. I forget the
[8] specific goal that I had picked regarding that guideline. [9] Q. Can you tell me what environmental problems you [10] were aware of at the Texas City Platu iti and about 1977?
[11] A. In 1977? I was not aware of any in 1977.
[12] Q. How aboiu 1978? [13] A. '78, first, I have a problem with the word
[14] "environmental problems." Can you help me with that? Does
[15] this mean a regulatory agency was giving them formal [16] documents, or was someone knocking at their door for some
[17] purpose? What, what does that cover? [18] Q. Why don't you tell me what you mean by
j [19] environmental problems.
[20]
A. It's a situation where a material is causing some
| [21] undesirable effect by its presence. | [22] .______ Q. Okay, putting aside questions of employee____________
| Page 106 I [1] exposure, using your definition of environmental problems,
[2] can you tell me what environmental problems you were aware
[3] of at the Texas City Plant in about 1978?
[4] A. Based on my definition I just gave you, I would
[5] say none. [6] MR. HUGHES: Excuse me. Could I hear Mr.
[7] Papageorge's definition back? I'm sorry.

[X] MR. MANTA: Sure. [9] THE COURT REPORTER: [10] 'A. It's a situation where a material is causing [11] some undesirable effect by its presence." [12] MR. HUGHES: Thank you. [13] BY MR. MANTA: [14] Q. How about are you aware of arty govemmetual [15] agency or regulatory compliance issue with respect to the [16] Texas City Plant in about 1977 or '78 7 [17] A. I wsts aware of some interest on the part of the [18] state regulatory authorities regarding something to do with [19] existing disposal sites on plant property. I have [20] difficulty remembering just what year it was that I was made [21] aware of this, and frankly, I've forgotten all the details [22] of what the issue was all about. It had something to do______
Page 107 [1] with a material present in water. That's as good as my [2] memory can help me. [3] Q. Do you know if that is the - referring to the [4] North 80 site? [5] A. I'm not certain. It's either North 80 or South [6] 20, somewhere in that part of the plant. [7] BY MR. MANTA: [8] Q. Do you blow if the material was present in [9] surface water or groundwater? [10] A. I do not associate this particular issue with [11] groundwater. Surface water is what I as best recall. [12] Q. Do you recall if the Texas City environmental [13] impact assessment addressed regulatory compliance problems [14] with respect to the North 80? [15] A. I'm sorry, I didn't hear the first part. Do I [16] recall [17] Q If the plant, Texas City Plata environmental [18] impact assessmetu addressed problems of regulatory [19] compliance at the North 80. [20] A. No, I don't recall that. [21] Q. Okay. How would you have become aware of issues [22] regarding die North SO, or the South 20?
Page 108 [1] A. WeD, obviously, somebody told me. I don't know [2] who and when. [3] Q. Would it be likely that it would be Ed Hendricks [4] who would have told you? [5] A. No more or no less likely thnn Mr. Himes, or Mr. [6] Weishaar, or Mr. Pierle, or any one of a dozen people within [7] Monsanto. [8] Q. Do you recall a uaste managemettt study was done [9] by Monsanto in about 1979? [10] A. No. I don't remember an activity by that title.

Looting at what has been marked for [15] identification as Exhibit 6 is a Jatutary J, 1979, study, or [16] mi.vO' management - the subject is waste management study, [17] and the Bates numbers are ANN 1124464.32 -.36. [18] Does this refresh your recollection as to a waste [19] management study completed -- conducted by Monsanto? [20] A. No, it doesn't. I just don't recall this [21] document at all. No. [22] _____ Q. Looting at the first page, there is a reference_________
Page 109 [1] to two. and one of the names listed there is [2] IV. B. Papageorge. Is that you ? [3] A. That's my name, yes. sir. [4] Q. Do you have any reason to believe that you didn't [5] get a copy of this documeru? [6] A. Well, again, no more than that I did get. That [7] jiLSt shows that as an addressee. I just don't recall Pi] receiving it and holding it in my hand, and [9] Q.

[16] Q. Did you -- / mean, wouldn't the fact that a
[17] document is addressed to you, assuming that this is what it
[18] appears to be, is there airy reason to think that you
[19] wouldn't get documents addressed to you?
[20] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; asked and answered.
[21] A. Well, you are asking me to say that the mailing
[22] system is foolproof and absolutely fauldess, and I don't______
Page 110
[1] know.
P] Q. No, I'm not asking to say whether this particular
[3] document wound up in your hands in January 3, 1979. I'm
[4] asking if you have any reason to believe that you didn't get
[5] a copy of it.
[6] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; asked and answered
[7] three prior times.
[8] A. I thought I answered when I said I have no reason
[9] to believe I didn't get it anymore than I have reason to
[10] believe I did get it.
[11] BY MR. MANTA:
.
[12] Q. The fact that it's addressed to you doesn't give
[13] you indication that you would have gotten it?
[14] A. WeD, there are lots of things addressed to me
[15] that are never mailed.
[16] Q. That are what?
[17] A. That are never mailed out. The decision is made,
[18] "Don't send it."
[19] Q- So, then do you have a reason to believe, then,
[20] that you -
[21] A. No, not for that document, no, sir.
[22] _______ Q. Well, you are saying that documents have been_______
Page 111
[1] addressed to you that were never mailed?
[2] A. No, I am saying that in the business world that I
p] participated in, there have been many situations in which
[4] documents such as this are prepared but for some reason or
[5] other are never sent out to those listed as potential
[6] recipients. I have no way of knowing at this point in time
[7] whether this document was actually put into the mail system,
[8] that it actually arrived at my desk or someone else's desk
[9] and was opened and put in my file for future reading. I
[10] have no way of knowing that, nor do I know that that didn't
[11] happen. I would be speculating all the way through, since
[12] my memory doesn't go back that far.
[13] Q. Would it be customary and usual for you to
[14] receive documents that were addressed to you1
[15] A. Customary and usual: In the majority of cases,
[16] yes, sir, but that does not account for the exceptions.
[17] Q. Putting aside situations where documents were
[18] prepared and never sent, would you, in the normal course of
[19] business at Monsanto, have expected to have received a
[20] document then was addressed to you?
[21] A. I don't know how to measure that. You are asking
[22] me the probability of a document like this, prepared as it
Page 112
[1] is, to arrive at my mail basket. Is that the essence of
[2] your question?
P] Q 1 think my question is pretty clear. You can
[4] have it read back, if you'd like.
[5] THE WITNESS: Please.
[6] THE COURT REPORTER:
[7] "Q. Putting aside situations where documents
[8] were prepared and never sent, would you, in the normal
[9] course of business at Monsanto, have expected to have
[10] received a document that was addressed to you?"
[11] A. In the normal course of business, a document of
[12] this type would likely arrive at my desk, as it indicates.
[13] Likely. That doesn't mean it happens every time.

Q. Was there something flawed with Monsanto's
| [16] internal mail system?

j [20] Monsanto's mail system where you -

[22] for a copy of something that 1 was supposed to have recaved Page 113
[1] from the originator of that document. That, that is not [2] unusual. [3] Q. Looking at the handwriting on the page, can you [4] tell me whose handwriting is that at the bottom? [5] A. I cannot.

" [10] Can you tell me whose handwriting that is? [11] A. I'd be guessing. I don't know. [12] Q. How about up at the top of the page: Can you [13] tell me -- [14] A. There again - I'm sorry, what was your question? [15] Q. I just wanted to know ifyou could tell me you [16] recognize any of the handwriting on the top of the page. [17] A. I do not. [18] Q. I'd like you to take a look at the third page of [19] the document and take a look at the first paragraph and read [20] that to yourself, ifyou would, please. [21] A. The third page of the total document? This is [22] the section marked "Introduction"?
Page 114 [1] Q. Right. [2] (Witness peruses said document.) [3] A. I have read it. [4] Q. Does that refresh your recollection as to a waste [5] matutgement study coiuiucted by Monsaiuo m and about December [6] 1978? [7] A. Not particularly. Studies were underway [8] constantly, and I can't differentiate, at this point, one [9] study from another. [10] Q. You don't recall a study that the purpose was to [11] establish the integrity and any potential problems related [12] to the present and past disposal of wastes from Monsanto's [13] manttfacturing operations? [14] A. Like I indicated, there were many studies made, [15] and the objectives, there, that you just stated were present [16] for all of these studies that I vaguely remember. The [17] purpose here is not unique just to this study; it's rather [18] universal for studies of this type. [19] I have no way of saying this is a study that is [20] unique or that it actually was made, and I don't see - this [21] is not a complete report anyway. I don't know, there must [22] be something missing, here.
Page 115 [1] Q. The second paragraph of the document says, "78 [2] manufacturing sites, 20 animal product centers and three [3] research laboratories were included in the study. Each [4] location supplied information for the following active owned [5] and operated disposed systems, inactive owned systems, waste [6] disposal property sold, potential toxic contents of [7] systems, " and it goes on. [8] Would you agree that this is a fairly substantial [9] study that was done? [10] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; opinion. [11] A. I, I - it does cover many ideas, here, that are [12] listed. I don't know how to compare it with something else [13] to support the use of the word "substantial." It attempts [14] to cover the areas as listed. I don't know how else to [15] answer that. It's intended to be a good study. [16] BY MR. MANTA: [17] Q. Would it be die type of study that you, as [18] Director of Environmental Operations for MCI in December of [19] 1978, would have been aware of? [20] A. Certainly. [21] Q. Would you have participated in it? [22] A. I may not personally have participated, but my
Page 116 [1] team or a member of my team would have been working with the [2] plants to respond to the needs of this study. [3] Q. What would you have done? [4] A. What would I have done? I would have done
[5] nothing unless I sorsed that things were not going well, [6] that there was a delay, that there was disinterest, so I [7] would till in, really, where 1 felt I might be able to help [8] out, and otherwise, I would stay out of the way. m Q. You cited two situations; delay and disuiterest. [10] A. Well, that's not intended to be a complete list. [11] Q. I understand that. Would it be your [12] responsibility, then, to ensure duu die project was [13] completed on time? [14] MR. SARFATTI: What project are you referring to? [15] MR. MANTA: The December 1978 study referred to [16] in this exhibit. [17] A. It would not be my responsibility to see that the [18] project was completed on time. [19] BY MR. MANTA: [20] Q. Why would delay be of concern to you ? [21] A. Because I wanted the unit that I represented to [22] be perceived as a responsible group, doing the job property.
Page 117 [1] I would somehow be made aware of this, to use the example, [2] delay. I would then make certain that the people who were [3] responsible for the actual execution were aware that they [4] were being perceived to be tardy in their response. I would [5] ask them either directly or through my staff member do they [6] need any kind of special help, what was their problem. If I [7] sensed that they needed more assistance, I would go to the [8] plant organization; to the top man, if necessary. I [9] wouldn't go there unless I felt I had to. [10] Q. You had some ultimate responsibility, dien, to 111] see dial the plants widtin your jurisdiction [12] A. I don't know how to [13] Q. - did what was necessary to complete die study? [14] A. No, the ultimate responsibility - I don't know [15] just exactly what you mean by that, but if the study were [16] not completed and I had done everything I could to stimulate [17] interest and get the study done, the ultimate responsibility [18] as perceived by Monsanto's management would be the plant [19] manager. My responsibility was to make certain that the [20] plant manager understood what was required, when it was [21] required, and to communicate the plant manager's needs to [22] others in the organization to help this plant manager if he
Page 118 [1] felt he needed the help, like more people, or more time, or [2] whatever it took. [3] Q. Would you be in a position to reprimand a plant [4] manager duu had not complied? [5] A. I guess any of us would be in a position to [6] reprimand. It wouldn't mean anything. I'm just a staff [7] man. You can tell me "Adios," but [8] Q. It wouldn't be reflected in his evaluations or -- [9] A. Not necessarily, unless 1 felt that this person [10] was abusing that position, then I would go to his supervisor [11] and review it with him and sit down and have an appeal [12] process, whatever it takes to make it known that the problem [13] existed. [14] MR. SARFATTI: Before we go on further with the [15] examination about this particular document, let me just [16] raise a question and concern I have about this document. [17] I'm presuming that the documents that were delivered to me [18] on Saturday - that is last Saturday - in lieu of a [19] seven-day list, includes the documents that are on the [20] listing we received from the Orrick, Herrington firm last [21] week. Am I correct that those two are synonymous, or are [22] they independent lists?________________________________________
Page 119 [1] MR. MANTA: I don't think so. [2] MR. HUGHES: No, those are independent. [3] MR. SARFATTI: They're not intended to cross[4] reference one another? [5] MR. HUGHES: No. No. 1 knew that Mr. Manta had [6] reached an agreement with you to deliver documents in lieu [7] of a designation. I was not in a position to see the [8] documents for various reasons we needn't get into, so my [9] designation had to be independent. So the absence of a [10] document that Mr. Manta uses from my list indicates [11] nothing -

[12] MR. SARFATTI: Okay. [13] MR. HUGHES: - other than I didn't designate it. [14] MR. SARFATTI: Very well. The reason I raise it [15] is because I don't see it, either, on your list, and I don't [16] recall it from the materials that we received from your [IT] office. [18] MR. MANTA: I would hope that it would have been [19] there, because what I have copies of are copies of what was [20] sent to you, so I don't - unless there was some screw-up in [21] copying, which I don't - I'm not saying couldn't have [22] happened -_________________________________________________
Page 120 [1] MR. SARFATTI: I'll accept that. If this is an [2] exception, it sounds like it's inadvertent, and we'll see [3] from what whatever other documents you use whether there's a [4] pattern here. I'm not suggesting that there is; it's just [5] that this is not a document that I recall reviewing in the [6] two boxes of materials that we received last Saturday from [7] your office. [8] MR. MANTA: I believe it was in there, but then [9] again, I can't, I can't say. [10] MR. SARFATTI: I have no objection to you [11] proceeding with this particular document. [12] BY MR. MANTA: [13] Q. Mr. Papageorge, you had noted earlier that this [14] document seemed incomplete, and I would agree with you that [15] it does not seem complete. It seems to reference a much [16] more substantial study than is contained here. If I were to [17] want to find the rest of this document, assuming there is [18] more to it, where would be the best place to look? [19] A. Oh, I don't know about a place to look, but I [20] would suggest - I don't know where these things are stored, [21] personally, any longer, [22] _____ You are asking me where would I go to get__________
Page 121 [1] something like this? What is your question? [2] Q. That's fair. That's fair. [3] A. Huh? [4] Q. Where would you go to get something like this? [5] A. I'd go to Monsanto's Legal Department and see if [6] they had copies. [7] Q. Why Monsanto's Legal Department? [8] A. Well, I guess it's because of my experience with [9] PCB issues and all, that's the, that's the place I go for [10] documents, and I don't know if that's appropriate for this [11] case or not [12] Q. Did you have a -- [13] MR. SARFATTI: I think the witness may have had a [14] little bit more to say, and it's happened for a few times, [15] so if you could pause tor a few moments [16] MR. MANTA: I'm sorry. [17] MR. SARFATTI: - and let the witness complete [18] his response, it might be helpful. [19] MR. MANTA: I'm sorry, Mr. Papageorge. [20] THE WITNESS: I've forgotten, now, what else I [21] was going to say. [22] _____ MR. MANTA: This may be a good time to take a
Page 122 [1] break. It's twenty after 3:00. We've been going at it for [2] a little while. [3] MR. SARFATTI: I'm not going to stand in your [4] way. [5] (Recess from 3:23 to 3:40.) [6] BY MR. MANTA: [7] Q. Mr. Papageorge, I'd like to contbuie with Exhibit [8] 6 ami direct your aitetuion to page 2 of the document, and [9] the first sentence [10] A. Numbered page 2? [11] Q. Yes, numnered page 2: I'm sorry. [12] The first sentence luuier the "Decisions and [13] Actions" heading says. "Sltallow, small bore test wells [14] strategically located at the periphery of landfills and [15] impoundments have beeti used effectively to monitor for [16] leachuig." [17] My question is, what sites were they used to [18] monitor for leaching?
[19] A. I have absolutely no idea.
[20] Q. Could you turn to the first page and tell me,
[21] based upon your experience as Director of Environmental
[22] Operations for MCI, who on this page would likely know,_______
Page 123
[1] other titan, of course, Mr. Jessee, the answer to my
[2] question?
[3] A. Reading that sentence that you included in your
[4] question, I have no way of knowing whether that sentence
[5] applies to Monsanto activity or to the, to the practices
[6] being followed by others and the success they may have had
[7] with that approach, so I have no way of knowing which of
[8] these Monsanto people would be the ones to contact regarding
[9] that particular sentence.
[10] Q. So you are not sure if it refers to only
[11] Monsanto -
[12] A. In general. I have no way of knowing. That
[13] sentence, there, is a conclusion of the author, but I don't
[14] know what it refers to.
[15] Q. If tve atm to the title page of the document [16] of the report, which is actually the second page of the
[17] document -
[18] A. All right.
[19] Q. - it says, "Monsanto Waste Management Study,"
[20] dated December 1978. Would it seem reasonable to you that
[21] the reference to the test wells to monitor leaching was for
[22] Monsanto locations?__________________________________________
Page 124
[1] A. I find that I would be speculating, frankly. I
[2] just - there's nothing in that paragraph to tells me that
[3] this approach had actually been used. It sounds like a, an
[4] opinion of the author which might fit into such a program.
[5] I don't know [6] Q. Why don't - maybe the third sentence will help
[7] us out, here. The third sentence on Page 2 reads, quote,
[8] "Site assessment programs being conducted as part of the
[9] Worldwide Environmental Protection Guidelines will dictate
[10] additional needs for monitoring, itpgraduig, or closure of
[11] disposal systems. "
[12] Now, does that utdicale to you that the reference
[13] in the first sentence to monitoring wells for - to monitor
[14] leaclung from landfills and impowtdments was for Monsanto
[15] locations? [16] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; opinion, no foundation.
[17] A. I honestly don't know.
[18] Those two sentences can stand alone. The site
[19] assessments called for additional needs. Those needs could
[20] include the first sentence, small test boring.
[21] BY MR. MANTA: [22] _______ Q. Can you tell me what it means that site_______________
Page 125
[1] assessments will dictate additional needs for monitoring?
[2] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections.
[3] A. I don't quite know how to respond. This sentence
[4] seems to me to explain itself. The author concluded that
[5] these programs are going to result in these needs. I don't
[6] know how else to describe that.
[7] BY MR. MANTA: [8] Q. Could it - My readutg of this paragraph is that
[9] wells had been installed to monitor leaching and that the
[10] site assessments were going to dictate the needs for
[11] additional monitoring. Is that a reasonable interpretation
[12] of those sentences?
[13] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections.
[14] A. Well, I find myself interpreting that
[15] differently.
[16] BY MR. MANTA:
[17] Q. Do you know if the site assessments would have
[18] included the North 80 or the South 20?
[19] A. The intent was to include them.
[20] Q. How do you know that?
[21] A. Well, just from knowing the program, there were
j [22] no exceptions permitted.________ ____________________________

[3] today. [4] Q. Why would the intent of the program, the [3] Worldwide Protection Guideline program, include the North 80 [6] and the South 20? [7] A. Well, those are on Monsanto property, they were [8] Monsanto owned and operated, and the program did not provide [9] for any exclusions; therefore, they would have been [10] included, [11] Q. Would it include non-Monsanto property? [12] A. I'm not aware of any non-Monsanto property that [13] was evaluated under this program. [14] Q. And by "this program," you are again referring to [15] the Worldwide Environmental Protection Guidelines? [16] A. Correct. [17] Q, You are not referring to this Monsanto Company [18] waste management study? [19] A. That is correct. [20] (Papageorge Deposition Exhibit 7 marked for [21] identification.) [22] ____ (Ms. Scott enters the deposition room.)_________________
Page 127 [1] BY MR. MANTA: [2] Q. Looking at what has been marked for P] identifcation as Exhibit, Papageorge Exhibit 7, it is a [4] March 27th, 1979, document, the subject of which is site [5] assessments, the Bates numbers are CBY 2707267 - CBY [6] 2707283. [7] The "cc" identification, there, has a reference [8] to a Mr. W. B. Papageorge. Would that be you, sir? [9] A. That's my name, yes, sir. [10] Q. The third paragraph of the document says, m the [11] first sentence, "We slwuld continue with our programs to [12] complete the first document by the end of 1980 or earlier, [13] per your JRA's. " [14] Does that indicate to you that your proposal or [13] recommendation that Monsanto's Worldwide Environmental [16] Protection Guidelines be incorporated into JRA's was [17] adopted? [18] MR. SARFAlTI: Objection; opinion. [19] A. I can't speak for Mr. Pierle. There is an [20] implication, there, but again, Mr. Pierle is the best one to [21] itsk that kind of question. He can for sure tell you where [22] be got that idea.___________________________________________
Page 128 [1] BY MR. MANTA: [2] Q. You would agree that the implication is that the [3] JRA's were then used as pan of it? [4] A. That's what this indicates. I have no way of [5] knowing how accurate it is. [6] Q. Can you tell me how often site assessments were [7] to be updated? [8] A. No, I don't remember it. [9] Q. Do you know if they were done more than once? [10] A. Again, I don't remember. [11] Q. As Director of the Environmetual Operations for [12] MCI and includuxg the Texas City Plant, would you expect [13] that they would be completed more than once? [14] A. Not necessarily. There's some of these [15] assessments were ongoing, constantly. You never finish, so [16] I can't say they're completed and redone or that they were [17] ever completed. [18] Q. Can you tell me whether the assessments were [19] designed to identify environmetual issues solely related to [20] Monsatuo's worldwide guidelbies or whether they were broader [21] and would incorporate regulatory issues, regulatory [22] emiroimtental issues?_______________________________________
Page 129 [1] MR. SARFAl 'll: Objecdon; vague. [2] A. I can tell you that when the guidelines were [3] first developed, to the best of my recollection, there were [4] no regulatory standards to be incorporated in those [5] guidelines. These were not available. I can also say that [6] whenever regulatory agencies, whether they be state or [7] federal, did promulgate some regulations, they were, of [8] course, incorporated in the thinking and planning of each
[9] plant as it affected them. [10] BY MR. MANTA: [11] Q. And would those regulations and environmental [12] issues be incorporated into the assessmetu? [13] MR. SARFATTI: Same objecdon; vagueness. [14] A. I don't know what you mean, "incorporated." It [15] would certainly be a factor in sitting down and making an [16] assessment of where do we stand today, what needs to be [17] done, if anything. It does become a factor. [18] BY MR. MANTA: [19] Q- Would the assessments also incorporate issues of [20] grotatdwater contamination? [21] A. If it's appropriate, yes. [22] Q. When would it beappropriate?
Page 130 [1] A. When there was information that leads the [2] managers of the plant to suspect that groundwater may be P] present, that the groundwater may be affected, or that new [4] regulations have evolved over a period of time that calls [5] for certain requirements. [6] Q. Was this just a public relations thing, the m environmental guidelines? I mean, or was it somethuig m Monsanto really wanted to find out if there were [9] environmental issues as a result of the assessments? [10] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; argumentative. [11] A. I personally never sensed a public relations [12] feature in this. They were not - the public relations [13] representatives were not that influential. The true intent [14] was to do what's right. [15] BY MR. MANTA: [16] Q. Before what got wunanageable? [17] A. Whatever issues may arise if you keep operating [18] in ignorance, so you make your assessment, find out where do [19] you stand. PO] Q. Would you consider the thing the right thing to [21] do to ideiuify areas ofpotential groiaidwater contamination? [22] A. Well, of course, you not only - that's an
Page 131 [1] example. You not only determine is the water contaminated [2] or what, what is it contaminated with, to what degree, and [3] where is this groundwater going, what happens on its way to [4] that final destination, what effect, if any, is it having, [5] so it's very complex. It isn't just a matter of grabbing a [6] water sample and finding something. [7] Q. But it was a, a true goal of this program to [8] identify situations where there may be groundwater [9] contamination? Is that correct? [10] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; vague. [11] A. If the information available indicated that that [12] was the responsible way to go, that would be done, yes. [13] BY MR. MANTA: [14] Q. So if there were indication that at a plant, for [15] instance, that there was potential for groundwater [16] contamination or indeed, that it was likely that as part of [17] this program, Monsanto would want to address that issue? [18] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; hypothetical, vague. [19] A. It's, it's really based on the information [20] available to those responsible for the plant. 1 don't know [21] how else to describe it. It's, it's no different than [22] having something come out of the stack and you can see it or
Page 132 [1] you eon measure it, and you find that you don't want that to [2] happen, you turn a valve or you put a scrubber in, well, the P] same thing goes with the groundwater bit. You don't just go [4] out grabbing water samples just for the heck of it. You [5] have to have a, a reasonable expectation that that [6] groundwater is going to be affected or could be affected. [7] BY MR. MANTA: P9 Q. And what could you tell me about the expectation P] that the groiaidwater at the Texas City Plant would be [10] affected? [11] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; no foundation. [12] A. Oh, I - that would take a hydrogeologist to [13] arrive at any decision regarding that kind of a, a. [14] Q. Can you tell me [15] A. - effect.

Page 135
[1] were -- that are referenced in this memorandtun?
[2] A. Well, as best as 1 recall, there were several
[3] reviews. I don't particularly recall the one that appears
[4] to be referred to here.
[5]
Q. Do you recall the questions that were raised
.
[6] about the selection of certain pollutants with respect to
[7] the groundwater monitoring program at Texas City?
[8] A. I do not.
[9] Q. Do you recall any criticism of the selection of
[10] pollutants that were incorporated into tlu: groundwater
[11] monitoring program tor Texas City?
[12] A. I do not.
[13] Q. Do you recall the groundwater - who the
[14] groundwater review was presented by for the Texas City
[15] Plant?
[16] A. I do not.
[17] Q. Can you give me some libty suspects?
[18] A. No, that would be sheer guesswork on my part. It
[19] could be any one of a dozen people. [20] Q. Would it be someone from the Texas City Platit, do
[21] you believe?
[22] _____ A. It need not be. They could have delegated to______
Page 136 [1] others. [2] Q. Who could they have delegated it to outside the
P] plain?
[4] A. There again, you are asking me to guess through a [5] long list of names. I would be guessing. [6] Q. Would it libty be people within the [7] Environmental Department at Texas City?
[8] A. Not necessarily. [9] Q. Other than people in the Environmental [10] Departmetu, who would libty have made such a presentation? [11] A. You used the word "Ukeiy." Again, that's [12] guessing. The plant manager, any of his superintendents, a [13] consultant they hired, a manber from Monsanto's Engineering [14] Department, one of my guys could have been asked to do this [15] for them. Many people can do it. [16] (Papageorge DepositionExhibit 9 marked for

Diming to the second page, there's a heading, [5] "Major MCI plants. ` Were these the plants that were within [6] your jurisdiction as the Director of Environmental [7] Operations for MCI? [8] A. For MCI; yes. [9] Q. Now, this appears, to nut, at least, to be an [10] otuluie of something, and possibly a presentation of some
[11] bid. [12] The page with microfilm number MST 010375 [13] references groundwater, and there '.V a number of sites
[14] located. Does this refresh your recollection at all as to [15] the - as to groundwater presentations? [16] A. No, it doesn't. I don't know what that has [17] reference to. [18] Q. Does it reference the fact, can you tell me if it
[19] references the fact that there were groundwater issues or
P0] concents relative to the Texas City Plant?

Would it iu>rmalty come to your attention, a study [11] such as this, in your position at - as Director of [12] Environmental Operations? [13] A. Well, I have some difficulty, here, because I [14] find references to different pages, here. I don't know if [15] they are part of the original document or whether they are [16] mistakenly included here. I see a 1982 memo and a 1981 -
[17] Q. Why don`t we go to [18] A. - and so on. [19] Q. Why don't we go to the 1982 memorandum, and for [20] the record, l want to note, on the table or the index page [21] of this document, there's a reference to, under Roman [22] numeral X, Appendix l, sub A is 'Groundwater Program,
Page 139
[l] M. A. Pierle, July 13, 1982. "
P] Now. the title of this attaclmient or appendix is P] "Groundwater Program," and I'd lib to ask if you've ever
[4] seen this document before, this memorandum. [5] A. I am having difficulty finding that. Is that
[6] 1982, July 30?

[7] Q. July Milt. I'm sorry. PI A. 137 I haven't found it yet. [9] MR. SARFATTI: Could you give us a page [10] reference, Mark? [11] MR. MANTA: Let me use the microfilm. It's [12] easier. WGK 890455. [13] A. I found it. [14] BY MR. MANTA: [15] Q. Can you tell me if you've ever seen this document [16] before? [17] A. I do not recognize this document at aO. [18] Q. Looking at the first paragraph, the last sentence [19] reads, "Clean up costs and/or adverse public attention have [20] already occurred at the Muscatine, Texas City, Delaware [21] River, Santa Clara and Krummrich plants. " [22] Can you tell me what cleanup costs and/or adverse
Page 140 [1] public attention had occurred at Texas City as of July 1982? [2] A. I don't recall the specifics as of that date at [3] all. I just don't know. I don't recall. [4] Q. How about if we take the date out of it, out of [5] the question and say, can you tell me vdiere cleanup costs [6] and/or adverse public opinion occurred with respect to Texas [7] City? [8] A. Texas City? [9] MR. SARFATTI: And you are asking at any time? [10] MR. MANTA: Yes. [11] A. I recall some activity regarding the the, either [12] the North 80 or South 20, or both. I seem to recall that [13] outside contractors or consultants were involved, but I [14] don't remember the details as to what was done, and where it [15] was done, and how it was done. That's as best as I can [16] remember. [17] BY MR. MANTA: [18] Q. Can you give me an approximate time period? [19] A. It's going to be a best estimate, as best as I [20] can come up with, 1 would suggest it happened sometime [21] between 1980 and 1983. [22] Q. That would have been during die time that you
Page 141 [1] were Director of Environmental Operations for MCI? [2] A. For MCI, yes, sir. [3] Q. Now, the reference, here, is to plants in this [4] document. Do you recall cleanup costs or adverse public [5] attention directed at the Texas City Plant, itself, [6] regarding groundwater contanunation? [7] A. I'm puzzled by the question. I thought that's [8] what we were talking about. [9] Q. I'm speaking of the plant, itself, aside from [10] North 80 and South 20 -- [11] A. Oh. [12] Q. - which are, 1 guess, not at the plant address [13] atui where the manufacturing takes place. [14] A. In our, Monsanto's designation as a plant, those [15] were perceived to be part of the plant. [16] Q. I'm asking you to put aside your, the traditional [17] designation, and my question is regarding the manufacturing [18] facility, itself, and ifyou'd like me to ask the question [19] agaui, I'd be glad to. [20] A. I think we have a problem in that my definition [21] of a manufacturing facility is everything inside the plant [22] fence. Although a comer of it may be the active area and
Page 142 [1] the rest is storage area, or idle, it's still the plant. [2] Q. Do you know if North 80 or South 20 are within [3] the fence, plant fence of the manufacturing area? [4] A. I don't recall a fence, but I'm under an [5] understanding that it's Monsanto property. [6] Q. But you don't know whether it's adjacent to the [7] manufacturing facility, itself? [8] A. Well, there's an area between the sites we're [9] talking about and the active producing area that is [10] unoccupied with any structures, to my recollection, that is [11] still considered part of the plant, in Monsanto terminology. [12] MR. SARFATTI: Could I make a suggestion? [13] MR. MANTA: Sure.
[14] MR. SARFATTI: Why don't we use a map.
[15] MR. MANTA: Off the record.
[16] (Discussion off the record.)
[17] BY MR. MANTA:
[18] Q. Why don't we go back on and I'll ask the question [19] this way. Aside from North 80 and South 20, are you aware
[20] of cleanup costs or adverse public attention with respect to | [21] arty other area at Texas City ?
[22] _______MR. SARFAl'll: Again, at any time?____________________
Page 143
[1] MR. MANTA: At any time. [2] A. No.
[3] BY MR. MANTA: [4] Q. Okay, let's turn the page, and I'd like to go to
[5] the bottom of that page, and the last setuence reads, [6] "Operational practices which result in spills can m contaminate the upper layers of soil and evetuually with [8] rainfiilt, can contaminate the lower groundwater aqtufers. "
P] Is it your understanding ? [10] MR. SARFATTI: I don't know how many pages you've [11] turned, but we've all turned one page and don't see what you [12] are talking about.
[13] MR. MANTA: I'm sorry, it must be two pages. I'm [14] sorry, to the next - this page has "Groundwater" at the top [15] of the page.
[16] MR. SARFATTI: A different document from the
[17] Pierle memorandum we were talking about before? [18] MR. MANTA: I think these are all part of the [19] same general document, and I think they are appendices to
[20] this sewer report tacked on, task force study on leaking [21] sewers.
[221 ______ The microfilm number is WGK 890457.___________________
Page 144
[1] BY MR. MANTA: [2] Q. And my question about tluu sentence is that is it [3] your understanding tlutt the operatioiutl practices that [4] result in spills existed at Texas City? [5] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; lack of foundation. [6] A. I have no personal information to reach that [7] understanding. [8] Q. Turning the page, it says, "Additionally, earthen
P] basins used to contain contaminated wastewater and other [10] materials will eventually leak and liquid will move into the [11] grouiuiwater. " [12] Would you agree with tlutt statemeiu?
[13] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections, and opinion.
[14] A. I'd have to know a lot more than what's given
[15] here regarding that conclusion. I would attribute that to [16] the author's understanding of whatever he's writing about,
[17] here.
[18] BY MR. MANTA: [19] Q. The next sentence reads, "Thus, Monsanto tuts a
[20] substantial number of sources existing at vimtally every [21] numttfacturing site which can contaminate the groimd." Would
[221 you agree with that statement?__________________________________
Page 145
[1] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections. [2] A. Well, this, again, he's the author. [3] BY MR. MANTA: [4] Q. But you, as Director of Emironmentai Operations [5] for MCI, which would include the Texas City Plant, can't say [6] whether or not you agree or disagree with this statement? [7] A. I would have to know a lot more about the [8] material involved, the kind of ground that's under
P] consideration, and many, many other things before I can [10] support that conclusion. [11] Q. I'm asking with a much broader view than each [12] specific plant area. Does tlutt help you?
[13] A. Not really, because I don't have enough [14] information, first of all, to support the use of the word [15] "substantial," and I can't support the word "virtually," and
[16] then there's the word, "which can contaminate," I don't know [17] how one arrives at that without having much more information [18] than I have at my disposal at this point. I really cannot [19] support that statement without having a lot more information
[20] and expertise that I personally lack.

[21] Q. Okay, woidd you agree that that statement [22] aldresses a corporate-level concern?
Page 146 [11 A. No, I can't do that. [2] Q. Okay.
[3] A. That's the author's concern, whoever the author [4] is of this particular document. [5] Q. The next sentence says, "In addition, past [6] disposal practices" - and it says, paretuheses, "(the use [7] of Jumps and landfills), " close parentheses - "can also be [8] prime sources of groundwater contamination." Do you agree [9] \dth that statement? [10] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections. [11] A. Again, the comments I made to the previous [12] sentence applies to this one, in that itreflects one [13] person's conclusions. I personally need more information [14] ;uid more expertise than 1 possess to be able to agree with [15] that statement. I can't do it with what I now recall and [16] know. [17] BY MR. MANTA: [18] Q. Would you, at die time diat you were Director of [19] Environmental Operations for MCI, have had die information [20] to agree widi die statements contained in sentences I and 2? [21] A. No, sir. As an example, I'm not a [22] hydrogeologist.
Page 147 [1] Q. Would you diuik dial it would take a [2] hydrogeologist to, to make these statements? [3] A. Certainly. You are talking here about [4] groundwater contamination, and you have to have an [5] understanding of hydrogeology to be able to come up with [6] this type of conclusion. [7] Q. Why? [8] A. Why? Because as I understand, what little I know [9] about it, that the type ofstrata that exist underneath the [10] operating units, the flow of waters through it, the kinds of [11] waters, where these waters go, what kind of materials are [12] being investigated and how they might And their way into [13] this water and to what degree are they soluble, what [14] concentrations can they reach, what volume of water flows, [15] mid at - how many different kinds of waters are there [16] underneath the surface. [17] Q. The next sentence, diird sentence reads, "Our [18] experience at several Monsanto plants confirms diis." Can [19] you tell me what dial experience was? [20] A. I don't know. [21] Q. Can you tell me any experience you had as [22] Director of Environmental Operations for MCI where you
Page 148 [1] acquired any knowledge of die potential for groundwater [2] contamination at any Monsanto location in die country? [3] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; lack of foundation. [4] A. The answer to your question is that I am not [5] aware at this point in time of any groundwater contamination [6] at Monsanto's sites under the management of MCI back in that [7] period of time [8] Q. And by: That period of time" [9] A. - which were '77 through *83, in which materials [10] which could be traced back to Monsanto activities were found [11] in groundwater. I just don't remember any. [12] Q. The last sentence reads, "Among die plants which [13] are currently investigating situations are W. G. Krummrich, [14] Delaware River, Santa Clara, Texas City, Avon, and [15] Springfield. " Each of those plants are plants diat were [16] within your jurisdiction as Director of Emironmental [17] Operations for MCI: is diat correct? [18] A. That is not correct. [19] Q. Okay, which plants were not? [20] A. The Delaware plant was not. The Santa Clara [21] |ilant was not. Springfield was not. _ [22] _____ Q. Okay, The IV. G. Krummrich, Texas City and Avon
Page 149 [1] plants were die plants dial were widiin your jurisdiction. [2] that right? [3] A. Correct. Correct. [4] Q. Can you tell me if Mr. Pierle was a
[5] hydrogeologist?
[6] A. No, Mr. Pierle was a graduate environmaital [7] engineer.
[8] Q. What was his degree in?
[9] A. Environmental engineering from Purdue University.
[10] Q. Do you diink a person with a, an environmental
[11] engineering degree could make die statements set forth in
[12] die paragraph dial we\e been referring to?
[13] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; hypothetical.
[14] A. I don't know what courses Mr. Pierle studied.
[15] BY MR. MANTA:
[16] Q. I'd like to turn to die next page, under
[17] subheading A, "Plant Investigations. "
[18] "At the present time, virtually every Monsanto
[19] location is examining die question of groundwater
[20] contamination. "
PI] Could you tell me what, what dial program
[22] entailed?
Page 150
[1] A. Not in detail, of course, but all plants were
[2] informed of the interest in keeping groundwaters from being
[3] contaminated, and they were encouraged very strongly to look
[4] at their own situation and see if such a potential existed
[5] at their plant sites.
[6] Q. Was this examination a voluntary program that
[7] Monsanto embarked on?
[8] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; vague. Undefined term.
[9] A. If, by "voluntary," you mean there was no
[10] regulatory activity requiring it, I would say yes. In the
[11] vast majority of the plants, there was not even a hint of
[12] such pending regulatory activity. There were a few were, at
[13] least the state agencies were interested, so there was this,
[14] I'm going to call it pressure felt by the plants that they
[15] better know more about their plant than the State people
[16] did.
[17] BY MR. MANTA:
[18] Q. Was Texas City among diose plants that was
[19] feeling regulatory pressure?
[20] A. I would - yes, at some point in time, that
[21] became a, a factor, yes.
[22] ____ Q. How do you know diat?
Page 151
[1] A. I was informed by the plant personnel that the
[2] Texas regulatory people had approached them with some
[3] information regarding groundwater.
[4] Again, I just do not recall the specifics in
[5] terms of exactly where and what material was determined to
[6] be present in what quantities, and when all this happened.
[7] That's just not clear in my mind. [8] Q. What was your role in diis groundwater program,
[9] dtis corporate groundwater program?
[10] A. It was no different than all other programs. I
[11] monitored activities, I served as a, a rod where necessary,
[12] or as an assistance where necessary. I communicated down
[13] through the organization and up the organization as
[14] appropriate regarding where I felt my comments would be of
[15] some help.
[16] Q. Were consultants used in connection with this
[17] program ? [18] A. In some instances, yes. [19] Q. And were monitoring wells drilled, in some
[20] instances?
[21] A. I recall monitoring wells being required in some
[22] instances, yes.
Page 152
[1] Q. Sampling was done?
[2] A. Naturally. That's why you have a monitoring
[3] well, inm-hmm. [4] Q. And determinations made as to the nature and
;[5] extent of contamination ?
1 [6] [7]
A. Yes. Q. And all of those activities, Monsanto, at least
&] on your level, had decided to do on its own without
; [9] compunction from regulatory agencies? Is diat right?

[4] BY MR. MANTA:
[5] Q. Looking at what has been marked for
[6] identification as Exhibit II, which is a January 25, 1984,
[7] waste cleanup fact sheet bearing Bates number MCO 6194993 -
[8] MCO 6194997, and the memorandum states that - well, first,
[9] Mr. Papageorge, is your name referenced on this document?
[10] A. I am shown on the cover memorandum as a, as an
[11] addressee.
[12] Q. Okay, cati you tell me what "B3NA " means?
[13] A. That is my office location.
[14] Q. Specifically, what does "B3NA " mean?
[15] A. Building B, third floor, north wing, mail zone A.
[16] Q. The memo says, 'Attached is the final version of
[17] the fact sheet on Monsanto's voluntary waste site cleaiuip
[18] program."
[19] Is this part of the same voluntary groundwater
[20] program that you had mentioned earlier?
[21] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; vague. Undefined term.
[22] _____ A. The groundwater program was designed to provide
Page 154
[1] information to Monsanto. I don't recall this particular
[2] document, but in briefly looking at it, it appears that
[3] it's - we're talking about corrective action relating to a
[4] few sites, some of them on plant property, and at least one
[5] that I see here is off of plant property.
[6] BY MR. MANTA:
[7] Q. Again going back to the first page, can you tell
[8] me what that squiggly line through your name means?
[9] A. To me, that says that this copy goes to
[10] Papageorge. And the next name would have been scriggled to
[11] go to Mr. Park, and following, Mr. Pickard, and so on. This
[12] is the author's way or his secretary's way of designating
[13] whose copy it was. That's my understanding.
[14] Q. Can you tell me wlut your secretary was at this
[15] time?
[16] A. 1984, Jane Audrain, A-u-d-r-a-i-n.
[17] Q. Was she always your secretary?
[18] A. No.
'
[19] Q. Who was your first secretary? [20] MR. SARFATTI: .Are we going back to 1951? [21] BY MR. MANTA: [22] Q. I'm sorry, as Director of Environmental
Page 155 [1] Operations starting in 1977. [2] A. Oh. [3] MR. SARFATTI: That sounds like a trivia [4] question.
[5] A. Jane Audrain. [6] MR. MANTA: This Is Your Life." [7] BY MR. MANTA: [8] Q. - Jane Audrain continued up through [9] A. From '76 through '85. [10] Q. Do you know if Ms. Audrain is still around? [11] A. She's still around. 1 don't know what you mean. [12] Ls she still working? 1 don't know if she's still working [13] for Monsanto or has retired. I don't [14] Q. She's still living, to your knowledge? [15] A. Yes. [16] Q. Turning to the second page, the last paragraph, [17] there, it's actually the third page of the document, second [18] page of the notice, it says, "Similarly, the Texas City
I [19] Plant spent about $100,000 to remove waste from a small, | [20] abandoned pit called the 'Anders Lane' site." Can you tell i PI] me what the Anders Lane site is?
P2]________A. I don't remanber._______ ___________________________ Page 156
[1] Q. Do you know if there was a groundwater P] contamination at the Anders Lane site? [3] A. I just don't know anything about that. I don't [4] remember anything about it. [5] Q. You had said that the, Monsanto's environmental [6] guidelines - well, let me strike tluu and ask this. Was m the idea behind Monsanto's groundwater assessmetu program, [8] the corporate program, was to, as the name suggests, assess P] the condition cf the groundwater at \arious locations; is [10] that right? [11] A. At various Monsanto locations, yes. [12] Q. And to determine if there was contamination of [13] the groundwater at those Monsanto locations; is tluxt right? [14] A. That's one of the objectives, yes. [15] Q. Do you know what they made at the Texas City [16] Plata? [17] A. Not in total. I do know a few of - I remanber a [18] few of the products. [19] Q. Can you tell me wlujt they were? P0] A. Styrase, for one. I can't remanber others. [21] There are more there, yes. P2]________Q. Would you agree with me tluu the Texas City Plant
Page 157 [1] is an organic chemical platU? [2] A. Well, I need a little help on the definition [3] "organic," so you and I both have the same definition. [4] Q. Well, I understand organic as containing carbon. [5] Is tluu your undersuttuling? [6] A. All right. AU right, I can agree to that. I [7] feel more comfortable personally calling it a petrochemical [8] plant. [9] Q. Okay, petrochemical platu; cotuauied, for the [10] most part, organic chemicals? [11] A. That is correct. Yes. [12] Q. If you were to assess or want to assess the [13] coiuiition of the groundwater at a petrochemical plant, wiuu [14] types of chemicals would you testfor? [15] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; lack of foundation. [16] A. Oh, God, I'd have the know aU of the processes, [17] afl the materials involved, the starting materials, the [18] intermediate materials produced, the end products, the [19] residues created, the catalyst used, the cleanup compounds [20] used, and so on. I'd need to know an awful lot more than PI] just petrochemicals. P2]_______ Q. Would you agree tluu you would test for organic______
Page 158 [1] chemicals? [2] MR. SARFATTI: Same objection. [3] A. If the information I had at my disposal led me to [4] suspect that organic chemicals could be in groundwater, I [5] would look for them. I don't know how else to explain that. [6] I might be looking for other materials, too, water-sohible [7] chemicals, and so on. [8] Q. Wluu other types of chemicals at a petrochemical [9] platu would you look for? [10] MR. SARFATTI: Same objection. [11] A. I don't pose to know them all, but there are [12] materials used to assist processes. Some of these materials [13] are not hydrocarbons. I'm trying to think of good examples. [14] I'm going to give as an example, suppose there was a need at [15] a plant for some phosphorus-containing material, or some [16] metal-containing material to assist in the process or take [17] part in it. Depending on how it was used, how carefully it [18] can be controlled from escape and all, I would - I can see [19] a somewhere where I might say I better look for this [20] material because of the conditions under which it was used, [21] it may or may not have gotten away from us, let's go look to P2] see if it is in that groundwater.______________________________

[3] A. Certainly. If I, again, if I didn't suspect
[41 organic chemicals were there because they are highly
[5] volatile, they evaporate easily, I wouldn't expect them to
[6] end up going down into the ground, I would expect them to
SO
[7] up into the air, I wouldn't look for those, that kind of
m hydrocarbon, so I'd have to know an awful lot about the
PI characteristics of the materials to be able to come up with
[10] a presumption on my part that they may be in that water,

[1] Q. Can you tell me if this is a reflection of the
[2] corporate grottndwater assessment program that you had
[3] mentioned earlier?
[4] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; lack of foundation.
[5] A. Gee, 1, I don't know that I'd define it as [6] corporate. I would suggest that it looks to me like
[7] someone's summary of that groundwater assessment program,
[8] and they seem to be dated for different months, so it was
PI not all done at one time. I don't know who the author is. [10] That's all I can really say except read what's already
[11] there, and others can read as well as I can. [12] BY MR. MANTA:
[13] Q. Can you tell me why it would be stamped "Company
[14] Confidential" and "Do not duplicate or copy"?
[15] A. I have no idea. [16] Q. War groundwater contanunation information
[17] considered something that iwas, 1 don`t know, very
[18] problematic for Monsanto in or abotU 1984?
[19] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; vague.
[20] A. 1 can't speak for everyone in Monsanto. I can
[21] only speak for myself, and it was not problematic in the [22] sense that I think you are implying here,_____________________
Page 162
[1] Q. Why don't we turn to page 12. [2] A. Page 12. I have it.
[3] Q. The last sentence of the paragraph wider "Site
[4] History " reads, "Many process spills, tank leaks,
[5] underground line and sewer leaks, impoundment, and [6] wastewater ditch seepage concerns on plant site."
[7] Were you aware of those concerns in 1984?
[8] A. I was aware of the type of leakage that one would
I [9] normally associate with an active plant. I do not know who j [10] the author of this document is, so I don't know what he's
[11] referring to in terms of the magnitude of the leaks and [12] spills he describes here. [13] Q. What leakage would you normally associate with an [14] operating plant? [15] A. Oh, there are many [16] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; hypothetical. [17] A. (Continuing) Well, there are leaks that are [18] generated because of failure, say, in a weld of a pipeline. [19] Now, that leak can be just a drip every half hour, but it's [20] still considered a leak. [21] There are leaks that are associated with [22] operating pumps where the seal is worn, as a shaft goes
Page 163 [1] through the seal, some material could come out of that. [2] It's an awful lot, in many cases, like the drip of oil from [3] your automobile on your garage floor. There are many of [4] those that take place, so when they talk about leaks, it [5] isn't a deluge or a 10,000-gallon tank rupturing and [6] spilling all over the place. Those are wear, the big leaks [7] that would have to be a catastrophic failure or a fire or [8] some such incident. [9] Every attempt was made in Monsanto to shoot, to [10] target for zero material leaving the system, and as far as [11] the technology would permit it, that's what was the [12] objective. [13] Q. That was the objective when you were director? [14] A. It was the objective from day one with Monsanto [15] and during the time I was director, yes. [16] MR. MANTA: Could I have my question read back to [17] me, please? [18] THE COURT REPORTER: [19] "Q. What leakage would you normally associate [20] with an operating plant?" [21] BY MR. MANTA: [22] _______Q. Would you inclttde sewer leakage as leakage that
Page 164 [1] would normally be associated with an operating plant? [2] MR. SARFATTI: Same objection; hypothetical, lack [3] of foundation. [4] MR. MANTA: I'm going to state again on the [5] record that I think you are going beyond the Special [6] Discovery Master's order with respect to coaching the [7] witness. I think we've had repeated objections on lack of [8] foundation, hypothetical, and a number of other grounds that [9] I think are only made as coaching attempts, and I think that [10] they, they are a violation of the order. [11] MR. SARFATTI: We've given our position on your [12] view before. I'm not going to repeat it now. [13] BY MR. MANTA: [14] Q- Now, my questionwas aboutsewer teaks.
[15] A. Sewers? [16] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections. [17] A. Again, they are like pipelines only they're [18] underground, generally, so the technology is not perfected [19] to the point where on occasion, a sewer will fail, and [20] material that's intended to stay within the sewer system [21] does leak out of the system. The objective to reduce that [22] to zero still applies.________________________________________
Page 165 [1] BY MR. MANTA: [2] Q. But they were blown to occur, and they would have [3] been known to occur throughout the operafing history of the [4] plant; is that riglu? [5] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections. [6] A. They were known to occur. It's now a matter of [7] frequency and amount of material that leaves the system. [8] BY MR. MANTA: [9] Q. And the pump leaks that you had referenced [10] before, and lank leaks, and other underground lines would I [11] also be leaks or releases that would occur during the usual [12] course of Monsanto's business. Is that right? [13] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections. [14] A. WeD, that, to me, is the real world. It is not [15] a dairy, it isn't a sterile kitchen, it's a manufacturing

[16] site, and every attempt is made to reduce all that, and the [17] day has not arrived yet where it can be zero. [18] BY MR. MANTA: [19] Q. Aid those type of releases would have occurred [20] throughoiu the operation of the plant; is that right? I [21] mean from the beginning of operation until a plant shut [22] down._______________________________________________________
Page 166 [1] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections. [2] A. Yes, sir. [3] BY MR. MANTA: [4] Q. And that the conditions that the environment at [5] the platit was exposed to as a result of the leaks, and the [6] spills, and the potential leaks in the sewer lines, would [7] continue from the time the plant started operating through [8] the time that it stopped; is that correct ? [9] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections. [10] A. You make it sound like it's a continual drippage, [11] and leakage and oozing. AH spills don't end up in the [12] environment. Many are contained. Many are mopped up, swept [13] up. [14] BY MR. MANTA: [15] Q. I'm not saying whether or not they enter any [16] other envirotunent other than the plant environment. [17] A. If you get an oily spot on the plant floor and [18] it's quickly picked up with sawdust or whatever, sand, and [19] that sand is properly disposed of, you don't really have an [20] environmental problem. You've got a dark spot on the [21] concrete floor. [22] _____ Q. Wlutt I'm asking, really, is the type of things_________
Page 167 [1] that are referetwed in litis sentence. Spills, tank leaks, [2] underground line and sewer leaks were the type of things [3] that happetted in the real world at a plant, througlwut its [4] operation, operating history; is that riglu? [5] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections. [6] A. Yes, and I was trying to distinguish between the [7] tnqjor failure and the occasional stain. [8] BY MR. MANTA: [9] Q. In fact, some level of sewer leakage was accepted [10] in the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies; isn V that true? [11] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; lack of foundation, [12] hypothetical. [13] A. I don't know (hat the word "accepted" is [14] appropriate. Where it was known that such a condition [15] occurred, the effect on the environment would, of course, be [16] noted. If you had a fish kill or something, you certainly [17] would be concerned, but if no effect was noted, based on the [18] technology of the day, whether in the Thirties, Forties, [19] Fifties, that really influenced the corrective action that's [20] taken. If no effect is noted, you repair the situation and [21] continue. If an effect is noted, you take whatever is [22] appropriate to prevent it happening again.___________________
Page 168 [1] BY MR. MANTA: [2] Q. My question has to do, to go to the real world [3] operation of a petrochemical plant such as Texas City. [4] A. That's what I'm talking about. [5] Q. Aid in that real world operation, it was known [6] that the sewers were not impervious all the time; is that [7] right? [8] MR. SARFATTI: Objection; lack of foundation. [9] A. The implication in your question is that it was [10] known that these sewers leaked like sieves. That is not the [11] understanding. There are occasional failures that, when [12] discovered, are corrected, and the corrective action is [13] based on the results of that failure that are unacceptable, [14] like the fish kill I mentioned as an example. [15] BY MR. MANTA: [16] Q. Could you tell me how a fish kill could result [17] from a sewer failure? [18] MR. SARFATTI: Same objection. [19] A. Well, I'D have to draw a hypothetical situation [20] where the sewer fails, the contaminated water, instead of [21] going to the proper treating plant, finds its way into a
[22] body of water which contains fish. The next thing you know, Page 169
[1] there are fish floating on the surface. This has happened; [2] not for Monsanto, but in other places. If that [3] BY MR. MANTA: [4] Q. Are you referring to your experience at Anniston? [5] A. My experience in Anniston? [6] Q- Tour experience with fish kilts at Atuiiston. [7] A. I have never witnessed a fish kill at Anniston. [8] MR. SARFATTI: I think the witness was in the [9] middle of a response when you started asking him about
[10] another [11] A. (Continuing) To continue with my example of that [12] fish kill, if the situation is perceived by the responsible [13] managers to be one that is difficult to prevent, then the [14] need is placed on their shoulders to come up with a way that [15] will reduce the effect of such a spin by putting in a catch [16] basin or some trap to keep that undesirable material from [17] getting out there where the fish are. [18] So what I'm trying to point out is that the [19] corrective action is, calls for a judgment decision on the [20] manager's part as to how to repair that leak and prevent [21] future problems, if called for. [22] BY MR. MANTA:
Page 170 [1] Q. My question is, aside from sewer failures, wasn't [2] it known that sewers leaked and tluit some leakage was known [3] to occur, btu that it was not practical nor feasible to [4] repair every leak in every sewer that took place? [5] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections, and compound [6] question. [7] A. Oh, I - gee, I don't know that that is a fact. [8] That is speculation as to the frequency and irreparabiKty, [9] and the costliness, and aQ those things you mentioned. [10] MR. MANTA: Could I have my question read back? [11] THE COURT REPORTER: [12] "Q. My question is, aside from sewer failures, [13] wasn't it known that sewers leaked and that some leakage was [14] known to occur, but that it was not practical nor feasible [15] to repair every leak in evety sewer that took place?" [16] A. I don't know that it's impractical or unfeasible [17] to repair every sewer, every leak. I don't know that. [18] BY MR. MANTA: [19] Q. Okay, you can't say whether that's true or not; [20] is tiuu right? [21] A. That's true. [22] (Papageorge Deposition Exhibit 13 marked for
Page 171 [1] identification.) [2] BY MR. MANTA: P] Q. Now looking at wlutt luts been nutrked for [4] identification as Papageorge Exhibit 13, it is a March 19, [5] 1979, document with Bates number WGK 1450815 - WGK 1450816.

Can you tell me why - why don't I direct your [14] atteiuion to the fourth dot beneath the first paragraph aid [15] ask you to read tiuu to yourself, please. [16] (Witness peruses saiddocument.)

[20] prior to RCRA promulgation? [21] MR. SARFATTI:Objection; lack of foundation. [22] _____ A. I'd have to read the RCRA regulations to help me
Page 172 [1] there. I don't remember what portion of the regulations [2] referred to procedures required to close facilities. [3] Q. Well, this says prior to RCRA promdgation.

[6] to close something prior to - or close inactive facilities
[7] prior to RCRA being enacted?
[8] MR. SARFATTI: Same objection.
[9] A. I'd bare to see the regulation to determine what
[10] paper work would be involved, if RCRA were involved, what
[11] specifications must be met -
[12] BY MR. MANTA:
[13] Q. Would you agree - I'm sorry.
[14] A. No, all these requirements are listed under RCRA
[15] that if the facility is closed after promulgation, it must
[16] be met. If it's closed before that, then it's
[17] grandfathered.
[18] Q- Would you agree Milt me, then, that the purpose
[19] of closing inactive facilities would be to avoid lutving to
[20] comply with the RCRA requirements?
[21] MR. SARFAI'l 1: Same objection.
[22] A. That is certainly a consideration, but the, the
Page 173
[1] true intent is to close it responsibly without the excessive
[2] costs that were perceived to be associated with RCRA
[3] requirements.
[4] BY MR. MANTA: [5] Q. Then it was to avoid having to engage in the
[6] requirements of RCRA because of the excessive costs
[7] associated with RCRA: is that right?
[8] A. The costs that were perceived to be unnecessary;
[9] really, politically motivated, rather than scientifically
[10] driven. [11] Q. Turning the page, the second-to-last paragraph,
[12] just one sentence says, 'For some locations, this program
[13] will require a major effort, btu it is one which must be
[14] expended ui order to protect the continuotts uninterrupted
[15] matutfacturing ability of this site. "
[16] Can you tell me how the contimtous unituerrupted
[17] manufacturing ability of the site would be affected?
[18] MR. SARFAITI: Same objections.
[19] A. I'm rather surprised at the question, because if
[20] you'll note the listing there, you'll see references to the
[21] proper disposal under RCRA and the need for the plant to do
[22] that, and you can't continue operating unless you can
Page 174
[1] properly dispose of the material. They have reference to
[2] permitted facilities, there's reference to identification of
[3] wastes, upgrading of facilities, and so on.
[4] BY MR. MANTA:
[5] Q. So Monsaiuo's efforts at closing some facilities
[6] prior to the promulgation of RCRA was an effort to protect
[7] the continuous unintemipted manufacturing ability of the
[8] sire; is that right?
[9] A. No, no, that's a misunderstanding. That is only
[10] oue dot of manv on this page.
[11] Q. I understand that.
[12] A. And that has nothing to do with continued
[13] operations. You note it refers to inactive facilities.
[14] Closing those facilities before RCRA promulgation has
[15] nothing to do with the sentence you referred to about
[16] uninterrupted manufacturing capability. The two are not
[17] related. It's the other items that must be properly met to
[18] satisfy RCRA early enough so that manufacturing can
[19] continue. [20] Q. Let me - let's look at this. The sentence
[21] beneath the Jots reads. "Based on die above and EPA schedule
[22] for promulgation of regulations requiring 0 -- and then
Page 175
[1] there's subsentences A. B and C - "Each plant must now
[2] immediately evaluate its situation and develop action plans
[3] to meet the following qoals."
'
[4] Under dot 1, first dot. there, "Close all
[5] inactive facilities pnor to 12/79. '
[6] Doesn't that indicate to you that closure of
[7] these inactive facilities are sontething that could affect or
[8] if they weren't closed prior to the enactment of RCRA. that
[9] could affect the continuous, unituerrupted operation of the
[10] plain?
[11] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections. Objection as to
[12] form.
[13] A. The dosng of these inactive sites is, of [14] course, mentioned here, but there are other statements, [15] here, that more directly affect the ability to continue [16] manufacturing. For example, I see a statement, there, on [17] Page 2, the second and third buttons from the top or dots [18] from the top, "Qualify by performance testing disposal [19] facilities that do not meet design requirements." In other [20] words, upgrade them where necessary. [21] "Assure its location of a hazardous waste [22] disposal plant after promulgation of the RCRA regulations,"
Page 176 [1] There's a button at the bottom of Page 1 where it says, [2] "Declassify the nonhazardous category," and so on. [3] Q. Would you consider the program that is referenced [4] here that will require a major effort to be something that [5] Monsaiuo would engage in in the normal operations of its
[6] business? [7] MR. SARFATTI: Same objections. Hypothetical. [8] A. Certainly, if the conditions require a major [9] effort, it's, it's done, but you'll note that that reference . [10] to requiring major effort is limited by the phrase, "for [11] some locations." It's not every location. [12] BY MR. MANTA: [13] Q. Would it be something that you would seek [14] insurance coverage for? [15] MR. SARFATTI: Objection to lack of foundation. [16] A. I know nothing about insurance coverage. [17] BY MR. MANTA: [18] Q. But I mean as Director of Etwironmetual [19] Operations. [20] A. What's that got to do with insurance? [21] Q. Well, would you consider seeking insurance [22] coverage?_________________________________________________
Page 177 [1] MR. SARFATTI: Same objection. [2] A. That's not my bailiwick. I - that's someone [3] else's responsibility. [4] BY MR. MANTA: [5] Q. Did you, at the time of this memorandum in 1979, [6] consider whether you could get insuratwe coverage to cover m the efforts associated with this? [8] A. Again, that's, that's not my responsibility at
[9] all. [10] Q. You can't tell me whether or not you considered
[11] insurance coverage? [12] A. It didn't even enter my mind. [13] MR. MANTA: That's all I have for today. It's
[14] 5:30. [15] THE WITNESS: Thank you. [16] (Discussion off the record.) [17] (Whereupon, at 5:35 p.m., the deposition was
