FROM: KEVIN ROLAN ROCKDALE CONSTRUCTION TO: GARY GRIESBACH 1994 JANUARY 19 REP:' SPRAY-ON FIREPROOF COATINGS GARY, BACK IN THE MID TO LATE 1980'S, WHEN WE WERE JUST GETTING INTO ASBESTOS "MANAGEMENT", I WAS ASKED TO COMPLETE A SURVEY OF THE SMELTER FOR THE PURPOSE OF LOCATING ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS. I STARTED THE TASK BY MYSELF, BUT DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS, I WAS GIVEN THE ASSISTANCE OF A CONTRACT DRAFTSMAN TO HELP WITH FIELD WORK AND DOCUMENTATION OF THESE LOCATIONS ON A PLANT MAP. THE END RESULT WAS A MARKED UP PLANT MAP WITH LOCATIONS OF ASSUMED ASBESTOS MATERIALS' (MOSTLY PIPE INSULATION) WHICH WERE GENERALLY VERIFIED FOR ACM PRIOR TO ABATEMENT. AT THIS TIME, BULK SAMPLES WERE SENT TO AN ACCREDITED LAB OFF SITE, BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE ANYONE CERTIFIED TO READ ASBESTOS SAMPLES AT ROCKDALE. SAMPLES WERE NOT DONE ON ALL MATERIALS, OR IN ALL AREAS BECAUSE OF COST AND TIME FACTORS INVOLVED. AGAIN, TESTING WAS MOST OFTEN DONE PRIOR TO ABATEMENT FOR CONFIRMATION OF ACM MATERIALS. IN ADDITION TO LOCATING AND DOCUMENTING PIPE INSULATION MATERIALS, I TRIED TO LOCATE OTHER FORMS OF ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS. ONE OF THESE MATERIALS WAS THE SPRAYON FIREPROOF COATING (COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "FLAMASTIC" TYPE FIREPROOFING) USED IN ELECTRICAL CONTROL ROOMS. I DID NOT HAVE SAMPLE TESTING DONE ON ALL OF THE BUILDINGS CONTAINING SPRAY-ON FIREPROOFING, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF SAFETY AND EMPLOYEE PROTECTION, I MADE THE ASSUMPTION THAT THESE WERE ACM MATERIALS. TESTING MAY HAVE BEEN DONE, BUT I DON'T HAVE PROOF. MY REASONING WAS BASED ON INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM INDIVIDUAL ENGINEERS AND DOCUMENTATION LATER RECEIVED ON THE SUBJECT. (SEE ATTACHED LETTER DATED 1990 FEB. 05) HOWEVER, DUE TO CONSTRUCTION WORK SCHEDULED IN BUILDING 93X, (BUILT AROUND 1980) RECENT TESTING WAS DONE ON THE SPRAY-ON COATING IN THIS BUILDING. THE RESULTS CONFIRM A NON-ASBESTOS MATERIAL. ATTACHED IS A COPY OF THE LAB REPORT DONE BY JIM RICHTER. THIS REPORT CASTS DOUBTS ON THE ASBESTOS CONTENT OF SPRAY-ON COATINGS FOR SOME OF THE OTHER BUILDINGS I HAVE LISTED BELOW. THESE BUILDINGS WERE PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED TO YOU (AND OTHERS) AS CONTAINING ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS. I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT WE HAVE TESTING DONE IN THESE BUILDINGS TO CLEAR UP ANY UNCERTAINTY, AND THEN IF NEEDED, HAVE THE PROPER LABELING OF THESE AREAS DONE AS REQUIRED. THESE BUILDINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS: BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING BUILDING 19X 23F 32X 52X 58X 59X 66X 93X 1 60X 16 1A 161B 162X 163A 163B (SEE ATTACHED `' REPORT PLEASE CALL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

HODGES CHIEF ELECTRICAL ENGINEER RfXXDAIZ WORKS TO see DISTREELTnCN 1990 February 05 RE: FIAMASTIC - ELECTRICAL CABLE COATING - 15% ASBESTOS It has been Known since 1988 that all Flamastic cable tray fire retardant coating used at Rockdale Works contains 15 percent asbestos. At that time a policy was adopted far dealing with these installations. This policy is: A) Maintenance, Construction and Engineering should be cautious about arbitrarily working in, on or about these cable trays since asbestos fibers could be generated. B) Cables should not be removed from these cable trays unless they are not coated and their removal does not disturb other coated cable or they are removed by an asbestos removal con tractor using proper procedures. C) If flamastic coated cables are being replaced or abandoned they should be cut off at both ends of the cable tray, taped, and narked. D) In the past eight years, it has been and continues to be the policy of Rockdale Works not to apply flamastic to new installations. T. E.
