Dear Ms. Lassiter:
In response to Jack R. Farmer's letter of March 16, 1990 and your letter received in April, the following items are being submitted.
1) Enclosure 1, revised to include the additional production data requested.
2) Enclosure 2 for Vista's Ethylene Unit (Process 1), LAB Plant (Process 6) , and one submission for both EDC Process (Processes 2 & 5) and the Vinyl Chloride Process (Process 4).
As you recall, you waived the request for information regarding the Alcohols Unit (Process 8) during our phone call in April.
In addition Vista believes it necessary to caution the U.S. EPA
regarding the use of this information.
This data as you
requested is based on 1989 operations. With the promulgation of
the new Toxicity Characteristic Rule, a large number of organic
chemical manufacturers will have newly regulated RCRA
wastewaters. Many manufacturers are so dramatically modifying
their wastewater sources, and treatment systems that the data
submitted will most likely not be representative in two years.
We request that this be given due consideration in the
development of any new standards.
If you have any questions regarding these submittals, please refer them to David Booth of our Environmental Department at (318) 494-5031.
Sincerely,
Plant Manager br(C2)

Dear Ms. Lassiter:
Pursuant to EPA's letter from Jack R. Farmer dated March 16, 1990, and our telephone conversation on March 26, 1990, Vista is submitting the
following via FAX.
Due to the limited time available, Vista has utilized its knowledge of its S0CMI processes to determine the chemical compounds that might exist as "used" and "produced." A great number of these compounds could be produced in quantities less than 2000 pounds per year. Again, because of the limited amount of time, we have been unable to verify this; therefore, these were included in the report. We will supplement the report to make any clarifications or corrections as needed.
The letter requested information on a "vinyl acetate" process. Vista does not operate and has not operated such a facility.
Developing the information required for enclosure 2 could not reasonably be accomplished in less than 120 days. Vista would request that if enclosure 2 information is required, that Vista would be allowed 120 days to respond.
Should you have a problem with FAX clarity, contact me at (318) 494-5439. Should you require additional information about this submittal, please contact the technical contacts listed. If possible,
in the future it would be appreciated if requests could also be forwarded to Mr. David Booth, (318) 494-5031, at Vista's VCM Plant at P.
