FELDER, 4 of lawful age, produced, sworn, and examined 5 on behalf of the Plaintiffs, deposes and says: 6 [Plaintiffs' Exhibits One and 7 Two were marked.] 8 9 DIRECT-EXAMINATION 10 QUESTIONS BY MS. MALOW: 11 Q. Can you please tell the ladies and 12 gentlemen of the jury why it is that 13 Monsanto and Solutia have still not 14 cleaned up Snow Creek? 15 A. We're in the process of doing that work 16 now. 17 Q. And in fact back in 1967 Monsanto hired 18 some consultants, specifically 19 Dr. Denzel Ferguson of the University of 20 Mississippi, who told Monsanto over 21 thirty years ago to clean up Snow Creek; 22 isn't that correct? 23 A. I'm not aware of that.

[Requested portion of record read.] MR. KELLY: Object to form; calls for speculation, no foundation. (By Ms. Malow) You can answer. I'm not aware of the recommendation, first of all, so 1 can't hardly speculate on why you would conclude we're not doing something or should have done something. Well, assume with -- Well, actually we don't even need to assume it. Let me show you what was marked as Exhibit One to Mr. Smith's deposition yesterday -excuse me. It was marked as Exhibit Two to Mr. Smith's deposition yesterday, and ask you if you have ever seen Exhibit Two before? Excuse me just a minute. No. I'm sorry, 1 haven't. If you will go to page --1 believe it's 13 or 15. There's a recommendation

the record?
16
Yes, ma'am. My name is Jeffrey Felder. 17
Mr. Felder, my name is Ellen Malow. We 18 A.
met shortly before the deposition. 1

represent 3500 individuals who are suing 20

understand that?

not tell you the case name. I'm sorry. 1 don't remember the date nor the case.
Do you remember the lawyer who took your deposition? No, 1 don't.
Or the law firm? No, ma'am. Sorry. And you think this was a couple of years ago? Sometime in the last three or four years, perhaps five. Have you also given a deposition in any insurance coverage litigation? 1 don't recall having done so, no. What other types of cases have you given depositions in besides one that is similar to this? 1 think 1 have been deposed in some product stewardship cases. 1 have been deposed, 1 believe in -- Golly. Let me think for a minute. Perhaps some other environmental cases. And then in the ordinary run of things, such as traffic

Yes, 1 do. Have you ever had a deposition taken before? Yes, 1 have. How many times? 1 don't recall. More than once. Can you give me a ball park number? Somewhere between a dozen and two, 1 guess. When was the last time that you gave a deposition, Mr. Felder? 1 don't recall precisely. Sometime in the last three or four years. And do you recall what that deposition was about, what that case was about? 1 think it was related to this matter -or something similar to this matter. Did you give a deposition in a case called Owens? 1 don't recall. Did you give a deposition in a case that was pending in Anniston, Alabama? 1 believe that to be true, but 1 could

accidents or where someone hit me and in some military cases.
1 want to just limit it -- right now my questions to ones you have given as a representative of either Monsanto or Solutia involving cleanup issues. Have there been any that fit that category? 1 think -- and 1 apologize because it's not been recent -- but 1 think that the last case in which 1 was deposed related to cleanup issues. Any others that you can think of? No.
Have you ever testified at a trial? Yes, 1 have. How many times? 1 believe once. What kind of case was that? It was a case related to environmental issues of a different sort. What was the contaminant or contaminants at issue? Suspended solids.

double-lined landfills? 1 don't recall because 1 changed jobs, but they certainly weren't in place at that time. Was that initiated at your idea, or how did that come about that you were ahead of the industry, 1 guess, on the double-lined landfill? Company felt that it was appropriate. Do you know when the technology first became available for double-lined landfills? 1 don't think there's anything unique about the technology. It's simply a matter in which it's assembled. Do you know when the first double-lined landfill was ever created? No. But 1 understand that ours was very early because the regulators were quite surprised. Did the other Monsanto facilities follow

petrochemical complex. And the second 4
was troubleshooting a process for
5 Q.
manufacturing a particular chemical.
6
Which chemical were you troubleshooting 7
for? 8
1 believe, although I'm not certain
9 A.
after all these years, that it was
10
sorbic anhydride, or sorbic acid.
11
For which plant?
12
The so-called Chocolate Bayou plant in 13
Alvin, Texas.
14
And where was the large petrochemical 15 Q.

1 led a group of professionals in those various disciplines, as well as professional fire fighters to provide their services to that location.
For those of us who have never been in an environmental safety and health department, can you tell us what that exactly entails? Yes, ma'am. Environmental protection, safety of personnel and loss prevention, as well as fire safety, industrial hygiene. And in that instance 1 was also responsible for the medical department.
Did the Queeny plant have medical surveillance for its employees and contractors when you were there as superintendent? 1 believe so, but 1 don't recall all of the details. I'm sorry.
How about when you were at Bridgeport? Was there a medical surveillance program in place?

two that 1 recall. The main ones? Yes, ma'am. How long did you remain in that position
in the engineering department in St. Louis? It depends. Officially 1 was assigned there for two years; however, during the second year 1 was sent to Washington University, as 1 mentioned earlier, to study chemical engineering.
What did you do next? After school? Yes. 1 was assigned as the superintendent of environmental safety and health at another location. Which location? John F. Queeny plant here in St. Louis. What were your duties and responsibilities as a superintendent of environmental safety and health at the Queeny plant?

1 don't recall. In terms of environmental protection, does that include protecting the community? Yes, ma'am. Does it also include protecting aquatic life? Yes, ma'am. How about the atmosphere? Does it include preventing pollution of the atmosphere? Yes, ma'am. All right. How long were you the superintendent of environmental safety and health at the Queeny plant? Approximately five years. So does that take us from about -- well, when did you start there? 1 started in 1980. '80 to '85? 1 believe the end of '84. Where did you go next? 1 went back to our corporate offices and

products as well. What other products? 1 also worked on rubber chemicals. 1 also worked on a number of products that we referred to as advanced -- let me think for a minute. I'm sorry. 1 have forgotten exactly what they were called. But they were basically metalized materials. Can you give us an example? Metalized fabric might be an example. What did you do in '91? In '91 1 became engaged as environmental protection manager for certain of our sites. Which sites? Let me see if 1 can recall them all, because it also changed with time. Initially Camden, New Jersey; Kearny, New Jersey, Everett, Massachusetts; Carson, California; and Long Beach, California. At any of those sites were PCBs present?

recall. All right. Were those PCBs that were used as heat transfer fluids at the Kearny, New Jersey facility disposed of at the Kearny, New Jersey facility? Yes, ma'am; they were. Were they disposed on-site? Yes, ma'am; they were. In what type of facility? As 1 learned, they were disposed of when the soil -- or in the soil in pits that were dug within the plant. Do you have any idea what volume was disposed of in those pits? No. 1 don't have any idea what volume was disposed of. Do you have any idea if there has been any migration of the PCBs that were disposed of in those soil pits in Kearny, New Jersey? Yes, 1 do. Have they migrated? No, they had not.

So there's no off-site PCBs in Kearny? 1
There were no off-site PCBs. And as 1
2 A.
understand it, kind of anecdotally from
3
my colleagues, there are no off-site
4
PCBs, and we remediated the site to the 5
satisfaction of the State of New Jersey.
6
Why was the site required to be

remediated?
8
There is a law in New Jersey that

The Kearny site was shut down and

When was it shut down?

Circa 19 -- Well, depends on your

announcement was made in 1991. I'm 22 A.
sorry. I'm not trying to be coy --

removed? As 1 recall -- and this is of course more recent times so my recollection is better -- the soil was removed to a TOSCA permitted cell in Model Cities, New York. Do you know how much contaminated soi was taken to that TOSCA permitted facility? 1 don't recall any longer. We removed three hot spots only. That was what the risk assessors advised, and that was what the state agreed. And we capped the remainder in place and placed institutional controls to the satisfaction of the state DEPE. What type of cap was used for the sediment that remained in place? Asphalt. Did you say sediment? Because it wasn't sediment. I'm sorry. Soil. Was it soil? Yes, ma'am. S, S. You know.

That's okay. -- but I'd like to be specific for your benefit. Precisely when we stopped manufacture, 1 don't recall, but sometime within a year or two thereafter. Can you describe the remediation work that was done to be in compliance with the State of New Jersey requirements? Yes, 1 can. Tell me about that. There was an investigation conducted of the facility, including ground and soil, groundwater and soil. Excuse me. And then there was an agreed program for remediation. And we conducted that agreed removal and institutional control program. Was the soil removed to an off-site facility? Some of the soil was removed to an off-site facility.

What institutional controls are in place at that site in Kearny, New Jersey? There are a number of them, and 1 don't recall all the specifics. There's quite a lengthy list that we insisted upon, both with the state and with our buyer. But they include, obviously, a prohibition of breaching the cap, requirements if it's necessary -- for protection if it's necessary to breach the cap and restoration. And they include prohibitions on certain types of re-use.
Do you know what levels of PCBs were detected prior to removal to the TOSCA permitted facility of certain soils?
It varied throughout the site. What was the highest level of PCBs detected at the Kearny site? 1 don't recall, but we were in the percentage range in those hot spots. Meaning pure PCBs?

How about at Kearny? What was being manufactured at the Kearny facility when you were involved with it? 1 don't remember precisely. 1 have a vague recollection, but 1 don't want to mislead you.
That's fine. Back to Kearny again. Was there any sampling of the fish in the water bodies near the Kearny, New Jersey facility for PCBs?
1 don't recall. Do you know if there was any air monitoring done at the Kearny facility? 1 also don't recall. Do you know if there's a fish advisory in place at the Kearny facility? 1 don't know. But 1 would bet that there is, given the nature of the water

My initial charge was to ensure that the facilities were properly shut down, dismantled, decontaminated, remediated if necessary.
What was your next charge? My job changed. To what? In 1992 1 became director of site operations, and my scope increased to also oversee the shutdown of the manufacturing operations, per se, and make sure that our customers were properly satisfied, outplacement of our employees to provide jobs for those people or retirements where they were eligible and wished to do so. And 1 took on responsibility for an additional number of other sites that were either considered for shutdown or that had been shut down since to try to put them in some useful -- return them to useful purposes. So as director of site operations in

Page 43
off the Texas coast near Galvaston. Is that in La Marque or Texas City? Neither of those names ring a bell with
me. I'm sorry. And several others that 1 don't recall specifically. 1 really had a portfolio of facilities that had been disused over the years, and we wanted to return them to useful purposes so far as we could. And all I'm really going to try to get to is out of those additional facilities that you became involved with, were any of those facilities where PCBs were on site that had to be addressed? 1 don't think so.
So the two that you can recall during the time frame that we're discussing would be Kearny and Everett? Yes, ma'am.
How long did you remain in that position as director of site operations? More or less until the end of 1994.
And did your role -- was it basically as

terms of a shutdown of the facilities, would it be the five that you previously listed, plus some additional ones? Yes, ma'am.
Which additional ones did you get involved with? 1 don't recall all of the sites, nor their state when 1 first became involved. As best you can recall which other sites did you have supervision for? Supervision 1 guess is a relative term in the context of the site is already shut down -- same meaning --
Which other sites did you deal with? I'm going to try to recollect as best 1 can. 1 dealt with Anaheim, California. In that instance 1 did oversee a shutdown and the re-deployment of the equipment and the people to another location.
1 was also involved in a facility in Sand Mountain, Alabama, a facility

you have previously described? More or less. What did you do next? 1 was transferred to a project we refer to as WOF, which at the time stood for Worldwide Order Fulfilling, which was a large information technology project. Why were you transferred to that? That doesn't seem to fit with your environmental health background. 1 was transferred to that because of my skills in leading change. Sort of more of a management type role? Yes, ma'am. Which does fit with your management background? Yes, ma'am. How long did you do that? As it turned out, only a matter of a few months, because the company reorganized, and while that project continued, there was another role found where my skills were thought to be more useful, and 1

was asked to take that on. Which was that? 1 was the leader for a portion of the
environmental business, environmental safety and health actually, what was called then Monsanto Business Services.
What were your duties and responsibilities in that position? Initially, 1 led a group of people in the environmental safety, industrial hygiene, and analytical quality control areas.
Were these people at sites in the country or were they in St. Louis? Generally they were in St. Louis.
And what were you doing in terms of leading these people? Various things, ensuring that our clients got what they needed, ensuring that our people were properly developed, and trying to build this organizational structure, which our then CEO felt was going to be beneficial for the company.

Yes, ma'am. It was. And you went with Solutia in the spin? Yes, ma'am. 1 did. So you actually just set up an environmental safety and health department similar to what existed in Monsanto for Solutia; is that accurate? 1 don't know how to define "similar," but we set up an environmental safety and health department that was suitable for Solutia. Okay. Well, can you think of some differences between the environmental safety and health department that was set up in Solutia compared to the Monsanto environmental safety and health department, any significant differences? Different people, some different functions, more of some, less of others, I'm sure. The product mix is different and the plant mix is different. Was it a smaller department in Solutia? In total, yes.

How long did you remain in that

position?

1 remained in a position like that or

that one precisely through probably the

beginning of 1997. Again, the position

changed with respect to time.
10 Q.
During that '94 to '97 time frame, did
11
you have any responsibilities for either 12
the Anniston site or the Sauget
13 A.
Krummrich site?
14
No, ma'am. Did not.
15
What did you do in '97?
16

up the Environmental Safety and Health 18
Organization and then leading a portion 19 A.
of that organization for Solutia,

Incorporated.

This was during the time of the spinoff 22 A.
of Solutia?
23
Page 48
And then once Solutia's environmental safety and health department had been set up, what did you do? 1 led our product stewardship in toxicology -- which is a closely-related issue -- and efforts in hazard communication as well.
For Solutia? Yes, ma'am. 1 did. How long did you remain in the product stewardship and toxicology leader position? The positions have changed with respect to time, so in one view I'm still in that position, although 1 have additional responsibilities as well. What additional -- Well, did your job title change from '97 to the present? Yes, ma'am. It did. What was the next job title change, at what time frame? Probably earlier this year my title changed to include responsibility for

And give me that one more time, your

Director of environmental safety and

9
Then the job changed in earlier 2000 -- 10
Well, actually when did you get the
11
title of director of environmental
12
safety and health?
13 Q.
Probably within the last month or so.
14
Was it July or August?
15
Either June or July.
16
And did you replace someone that was 17
holding that position?
18
No, ma'am. 1 did not. We reorganized 19
the department.
20 A.
Who was handling those functions before 21
you took over the job of director of
22 Q.
environmental safety and health?
23 A.
Page 51
And then who was handling the health issues? Dr. Shepperly.
So would it be fair to say that prior to June or July of this year you were not addressing safety and health issues for Solutia? It would be fair to say prior to June or July of this year 1 was not responsible for process safety, personnel safety, industrial hygiene, or toxicology. That had moved back and forth.
Okay. Then let me back up to the earlier job change, which was sometime 1 guess toward the beginning of 2001 when you started having responsibility for environmental issues and remediation. Who had been handling those aspects before you took over those functions? Remediation was handled by my former colleague, Mike Foresman.
And how about environmental issues? It seems to me that the environmental

safety, loss prevention issues. I'm responsible for toxicology, for product stewardship, for hazard communication, which might be an unfamiliar term, but amongst other things, includes material safety data sheets, labels, and Department of Transportation regulatory compliance. And I'm responsible for remediation projects and technology.
Okay. Let me start at the end there with remediation projects. Is it fair to say that the group that is responsible for remediation management of which Mr. Steve Smith is the leader is a subgroup under the environmental safety and health department which you're the director of? Yes, ma'am. That's correct.
Is there also a similar subgroup for each of those other areas? For example, IH, toxicology, product stewardship, et cetera? Generally speaking, yes. They're

manageable. Does he have a workload that is too
heavy for him to manage if he keeps Mr. Branchfield as a direct report functionally? 1 think it's more accurate to say that Steve is also new in his position, and there is a learning curve for any of us when we're new in a position, so this will help him get up that learning curve.
Prior to the beginning of this year, did you have responsibility for remediation in the last --1 guess from '97 to 2001? Was that within your bailiwick?
No, ma'am. It was not. 1 accepted, as noted, in 2001, earlier this year.
Right. Of course you had done some remediation work when you were at some of the specific plants, like we talked about, right? That's correct.
But at corporate that was being handled

structured a bit differently, but generally speaking, yes.
So all of the remediation management group, of which Mr. Smith is the leader, reports to you indirectly? I'm responsible for Steve and his people, yes, ma'am.
Are there --1 understand from Mr. Smith's testimony yesterday that there's going to be a structure change with respect to Mr. Branchfield. Can you explain to me what's going on with that? Yes, ma'am. Within the last week or two Steve and 1 agreed, for reasons of workload management and proper oversight, that Mr. Branchfield would report administratively to Steve but functionally to me.
Who requested that change? Steve and 1 agreed mutually. And what prompted that? The desire to make his workload more

Page 56
by someone else up until the beginning of this year? That's correct.
And why is it that the learning curve is not as great for you as it is for Mr. Smith on this issue? 1 have got other issues that I'm managing. 1 have spent other time at it. I'm not suggesting that the learning curve isn't as steep in our respective areas. It's simply that it's easier when two people work on two different things than two people work on the same thing at the same time if they're trying to learn as well.
1 guess what I'm trying to figure out is since Steve Smith is the leader of the remediation group, why one of the major cleanups that Solutia is undertaking is not going to be functionally reporting to him?
1 was already responsible for Steve's performance in any case.

But it gives you more of a workload, doesn't it? Yes, ma'am. It does. And as part of this reorganization, 1 have created some intermediate positions so my span of control in the other areas is not as large.
Okay. So you're going to be freed up in some of your other responsibilities so you can have more direct functional oversight of Mr. Branchfield? That's part of my purpose, yes.
All right. And that happened one or two weeks ago? Yes, ma'am.
Do you know if that was before or after Mr. Branchfield was deposed? 1 don't know when Mr. Branchfield was deposed or if he was deposed.

Well, 1 have understood them as 1 understood them. Whether 1 understood them as you meant them is another question.
If you didn't understand a question as 1 phrased it, you have told me, haven't you? As best as 1 could, yes.
Is there anything that you need to clear up from what you have already testified to? If 1 could have, if 1 knew, 1 would have done. 1 know what 1 think you said; 1 don't know what you meant.
Okay. You have answered the questions

and some other projects that are managed by other people where Steve is not necessarily around. 1 may ask a question or drop an e-mail off to one of his other people that are in the remediation area.
Is it mainly sort of status? You're responsible for making sure that you're up to date on the status of these various projects? Generally 1 wish to be aware that the strategy is logical, and obviously on coming up that learning curve I'm sure there were strategies in place on Mr. Foresman's responsibility that I'm not all aware of. I'm working through the list, if you will -- and that they are on schedule and that they are operating to the satisfaction of those concerned. Are you in the position that Mr. Pierle used to be in? 1 don't think there's a direct analogy.

That's what 1 thought. (By Ms. Malow) Okay. So 1 think we have now covered your work history at Monsanto and Solutia in full. Yes, ma'am. All right. Let's talk about more specifically your function in terms of remediation as director of environmental safety and health. 1 understand that that entire department reports to you. But on a day-to-day basis what duties and responsibilities do you have with respect to the ongoing remediation projects that Solutia is involved in throughout the country and the world?

Didn't he at one time have a position that was sort of head of environmental safety and health? Yes, ma'am. He was vice president of environmental safety and health. I'm sure there was probably some additional duties that he has that 1 don't.
Did you ever work with Mr. Pierle? Yes, 1 did. My pleasure. Was he your boss? At several times in my career, yes, ma'am. And who do you report to now? 1 report to a gentleman named Jerry Hayden. And what is Jerry Hayden's title? Vice president for corporate services. What is corporate services? It's an amalgam of various things, including purchasing or procurement, customer order, processing, 1 believe. Some groups that provide some internal consulting and a specialized kind of IT

How about the toxicology group? Is Dr. Kaley a direct report of yours? No, he's not. Are y'all -- Where are y'all in the time pyramid, vis-a-vis each other? Dr. Kaley reports most recently to another colleague of mine who is not in the SH group.
Who does he report to? He reports to Mr. Bistline. Is Dr. Kaley in the toxicology department? No, ma'am. He's not. What department is he in? 1 have forgotten the title, but he's part of the law department these days. Was he at one time dealing with toxicology issues? 1 don't know his entire career.

In the second instance, we might trigger via change in something someone else had discovered and go back and relook things for something we learned in some other manner. And so there's an ongoing process for assessing those products that we make or sell.
Does Solutia perform any in-house toxicity studies on its products? We don't have an in-house toxicology laboratory. That work is contracted under the provision of those people.
Okay. And is there any ongoing toxicity studies being performed by outside contractors presently? Yes, ma'am. There are.

Sort of an orientation? Yes, ma'am. Who else from St. Louis other than you and Mr. Smith went to Mr. Anniston? Just the three of us. Did Mr. Foresman go with you? Yes, ma'am. He did. Oh, 1 didn't know that because Mr. Smith didn't tell me that yesterday. All right. So Mr. Smith, Mr. Foresman, and yourself all went there in February? Yes, ma'am, we did. And who did you meet with at the plant? Dave Cain, site manager, as a courtesy. And 1 had other unrelated business with him. 1 had never had the pleasure of meeting him.

13 Mr. Cain, Mr. Jones, Mr. Branchfield.

No. 5
So was it just a one-day visit to the

plant?
7
We went down one morning and came back 8 Q.
early the next morning, though we were

not at the plant that morning. 1 think
10
we had a 7:30 flight the second morning.
11
Right. And my understanding is you did
12 A.
not spend the night in Anniston,
13 Q.
correct?
14 A.
1 don't recall. 1 think we spent the
15
night by the airport, which 1 guess
16
would be closer to Birmingham.

to yesterday. Is that your

All right. Let's The second one is very clear because we got up early so we could get to the airplane, but the first one 1 don't remember. Okay. Let's go back to the first one. Other than going to the plant site, did you inspect any other areas or go to other areas in the Anniston -Yes, ma'am. Tell me about that. Steve took -- or 1 don't know whether he drove or Mike drove -- but in the event, somehow between the two of them they showed Steve and me the surrounding areas nearby the plant and elsewhere. Just how far out, what mileage, 1 don't recall, but where there were issues related to the remediation. Specifically, did you take a look at Snow Creek?

7 Q. Was that also a one-day trip?

14 Q. And is that your pattern to -- or

Well, 1 wrote down what 1 was told. In my roughly -- Actually, 1 hadn't even begun the job yet. 1 knew 1 was going to begin the job. Mike hadn't retired as yet. So 1 don't know. 1 wrote down what 1 was told at the time. As you sit here now, do you have any understanding as to whether or not Mr. Smith is in fact handling any technical issue at the Anniston site? 1 think it's fair to say that Steve is, by working through Craig and John and Richard and whomever else we may be using. 1 don't think it would be a reach to say that's handling technical issues.
Okay. Who's John? John Loper? Yes, ma'am. You mentioned him a moment ago. Sorry. 1 got confused.
Then we go to paragraph 2, which has "Work." It looks like you have divided it into on-site and off-site

15 Q. What is meant, based on your

Yesterday when 1 took Mr. Smith's
16 participation in this meeting, as to the
17 deposition he did not seem to know many 17 statement that "Solutia would argue that
18 of the technical details of the Anniston
18 the earlier remediation work suffices"?
19 remediation and deferred to
19 A. What 1 understood it to be, and what my
20 Mr. Branchfield. So 1 guess what 1
20 notes remind me of, is that on that
21 would like to know is what exactly is
21 phase of the work we think that, A,
22 meant by this note that Steve is
22 their investigation was done. And, B,
23 handling the technical issues.

already done was sufficient. So specifically is Solutia taking the position, based on your understanding of
this initial meeting, that for example, the landfills on site that have been capped are adequately containing the PCBs? That's our belief, yes.
And have you read the recent May 2001 report by EPA regarding their assessment of the work, remediation work? You would have to show me a copy so 1 could be certain. Well, 1 mean, as we sit here now, are you familiar with the fact that EPA had requested an environmental response team center to utilize, react as a third party to conduct an independent evaluation of the Anniston PCB site? No. There's a note here that says EPA Landfill SWAT Team on my item number -4? 4.

or what did you mean by the use of the word "Issues"?
Kind of open items. And you have got "groundwater" and "air." Correct? Yes, ma'am. 1 do. And now, under groundwater you say "sampling suitability." What do you mean by that? Just what it says. Is the sampling suitable? And that's apparently an issue that was -- at least at the time 1 took these notes -- not agreed amongst the parties. And by that do you mean that some of the governmental entities were saying that the sampling performed of the groundwater may not have been suitable? It would include that, yes. There might be other parties, such as your clients, who are arguing the same thing. My notes simply say -- reflect. That's -

object to the assumptions. I'd like to understand, as 1 said earlier in response to a somewhat similar question; 1 have forgotten specifics --1 would want to understand more about the basis for how the risk level was set. 1 would want to understand whether there was some sort of scientific agreement about it.
Oftentimes there's disputes in these sorts of things within the scientific community. And 1 don't mean the industry versus EPA, but others who are more disinterested, perhaps. And I'd like to understand more about the validity of both the sample collection and the analytical work that was associated with it, so both sides of the issue, if you think about it. Risk has an exposure component and a hazard component. And you need to understand both before you can draw reasonable conclusions.

Yeah. Community is a broad term. But yes, my understanding is some parts of the community wish that to be the case.
Do you have an understanding as to why it is that that is one of the wishes of the community?
MR. KELLY: Object to the form. Calls for speculation.
(By Ms. Malow) You can answer. 1 understand 1 can answer; I'm trying to understand the question. Okay. Do you have any understanding as to why it is that the community is requesting that Solutia clean up the landfills further?
MR. KELLY: Object to the form, calls for speculation.
My notes suggest to me, after -- you do the months -- but since February, so there's a bit of time that has elapsed -- that that desire is being used as a lever to cause us to do something different elsewhere.

6 these are my contemporaneous notes.
7 wasn't my first party conclusion.
7 Q. So your only knowledge with respect to

13 Lake," right?
13 meant by a programmed sampling? 1 think
14 A. Is that Loy or Lay? Looks like Lay, but 14 that's what that says, programmed?
15 it didn't reproduce very well.

7 A. Yeah. The parties mentioned earlier on.
8 A. Yes, they do. Now that 1 have them in

10 Q. Then it says, "In lake we find less than 10
quote, "where Snow Creek enters
11 2 ppm in the fish," which would be below 11 Choccolocco." What does that mean?
12 the FDA limits, right?
12 A. That's the first time 1 had heard the
13 A. If you remind me and 1 can accept that 2 13
term in that context. In Other times
14 ppm is the limit. 1 just don't recall.
14 I've heard it used by USACE as a
15 Q. Okay. Then you say, "We find PCBs only 15
backwater port or something. That's on
16 in deep samples by dam. In Choccolocco 16 the Mississippi. But this refers to
17 we find increasing PCB levels in fish as 17 waters upstream of the intersection of

18 Snow Creek in Choccolocco Creek.
19 that says less than or greater than 8
19 Q. What is meant by that whole sentence?
20 ppm.
20 A. It means that there's a risk of mass

1 point.
2 A. It means that some were greater than 2
2 Q. 1 guess 1 just don't know - understand
3 and less than 8.
3 fully what that sentence means. Do you
4 Q. "However, levels have been coming down"? 4 mean that there's some risk if you don't
5 A. Correct.
5 remove the mass? Is that what that

at least as of February that was just an
7 Q.
issue that was being looked at further,
8
correct?
9
That's correct.
10
Then it says, "We also have PCBs in
11
related floodplain, which we wish to
12
convert to conservation corridor until
13
backwater." What does that mean?
14
1 guess "until" implies time; 1 used it
15
to imply physical distance here.
16 A.
Okay. So the conservation corridor
17
would be in a location up to where that 18
-- where Snow Creek enters Choccolocco? 19
That's what this sentence --
20
Okay. What is your understanding of
21
this conservation corridor proposal?
22

containment of beachwater," and then in parens you say "beachwater is in Oxford, as is Anniston WTP, which has contaminated sediments in a pile and in ponds." Actually, it's backwater.
I'm sorry. It is backwater. 1 should have known that from that other backwater.
So, again, this is saying that there may be a need to remove this area, but 1 guess not only is -- where Snow Creek enters Choccolocco but also in Oxford and the Anniston waste treatment plant? Actually they are separate issues. In the first sentence it refers back up to the same thing above, where -- the mass removal in the backwater issue. Then this next sentence, the parenthetical portion --1 guess the parentheses either ran out on this page or 1 wasn't consistent in closing my parentheses.

5 Q. Okay. Who are the parties, as far as
5 Q. But you don't have any idea how much it

7 responsibility for the waste treatment
7 A. No. Nor do 1 know precisely what the
8 plant area, other than yourselves?
8 cost of recovery might be.
9 A. I'm not sure we have a responsibility.
9 Q. Then it says, "We are nearly done
10 Obviously, the EPA may think we do. But 10 removal at ball fields near Snow Creek

12 people who own and operate the waste 12 ball field removal project?

14 this material there to begin with, and
14 1 mentioned either Mike or Craig, who
15 then some contractor that was involved 15 was driving, showed us those ball fields
16 subsequent to that in moving it around
16 during the course of the same visit.
17 to apparently expand or otherwise change 17 Q. Right. Then we skip to another
18 the capacity of the waste treatment

4
Sure. And is it your understanding at
5
this point that you guys are going to
6
try and move forward to negotiate a cost 7
sharing rather than having EPA begin
8
removal?
9
We would certainly prefer to do that if
10 Q.
we can come to agreement with the people 11
involved.
12
And the reason you prefer to do that is 13
it may end up costing you guys a lot

less money.
15
The other reason we wish to do it is
16
we'd like to move things along in the

18
Would it also cost you guys less money? 19
I'd suggest that it would.

views and ADEM's views at this meeting you attended? As 1 understood it and my notes reflect it -- and this is not an atypical thing; 1 have seen this in other jurisdictions during my prior remediation experience -- There is some dispute between the competent authorities as to who was responsible for oversight of what.
And when you say that "EPA only wants certain projects," do you know which particular projects it is that EPA is trying to get accomplished? No, 1 don't. I'd have to go back and look at whatever documents Craig might have in his office or Steve in his.
And do you know what specifically ADEM is asking for when you make that statement, "all or nothing"? Just what Craig briefed me on at the time.
Which was? It was all or nothing.

Okay. Next paragraph, "Highway 21 bridge of over Choccolocco Creek is being added to existing bridge. We will have to excavate for one" - 1 can't read that other word. "Bent."
There is also excavation along utility corridor. The highway people will cap what we remove and will cost share."
Do you know what type of capping is being done on that highway project? 1 don't think they are far enough along to say. 1 asked about this because 1 find it an interesting project from a technical standpoint. 1 don't think they are far enough along.
Why is it an interesting project to you from a technical standpoint? Well, 1 have built runways and other civil structures.
So it was just something you had experience with? Yes, ma'am.

Page 127
Okay. First of all, do you know who the other PRPs are with respect to Snow Creek? 1 don't at this moment, no. Then where you say that you propose to pave the rest, have you heard anything about a concrete liner being used for Snow Creek? 1 believe that was mentioned as one possibility. There are - 1 was shown them near the mall some portions that already are that way. And that's a perfectly rational form of institutional control or containment. And then it says, "there will be some removal." Do you have any idea how much material would have to be removed from Snow Creek? No. Although 1 have asked to learn more about that specific issue at the meeting in April. And this, again, is just something ongoing?

Do you know what the level is of PCBs 1 A.
that are in that highway area?
2 Q.
No, 1 don't.
3
Do you know the volume of PCBs?
4
1 think there's some discussion around
5
that. It depends on the design for the
6
one bent.
7 A.
Do you know -- Strike that. Why is it
8
that Solutia agreed to cost share on
9
this project on the highway?
10
I'm sure we must feel we have some level 11
of responsibility for it or that someone
12
else felt that way and it was more
13
effective to work together than to
14
argue.
15 Q.
Okay. Next you say, "We are into
16
corrective measures in parts of Snow
17
Creek (other parts are paved); we
18
propose to pave the rest, but there will
19 A.
be some removal. However, there are 20
other PRPs." By "PRPs," you mean
21
potentially responsible parties?
22
Yes, ma'am. That's exactly what 1 mean. 23 Q.
Page 128
Yes, ma'am. It is. Next we're on to page 4 of your handwritten notes. Says, "Potential holder for conservation corridor are concerned as to preexisting contamination." What is meant by that? Precisely what it says, that the people that -- the people that develop or hold these conservation corridors are typically conservation groups who depend on contributions, grants, and the like. And it means just what they say, they are concerned as to preexisting contamination. Is there any proposal that prior to getting these easements that there would be some cleanup before the easements were put in place -We're still -- I'm sorry. Forgive me. We're still working with these people. So 1 think that's an issue that's up in the air. As far as you know, have any easements

And then says -- so it's communications 11

that someone else --1 have forgotten

1 looked yesterday, but between yesterday and today, it's just as well to refresh our memory to be accurate for your purposes. Let's see.
The 2001 budget on what's entitled page 1.
Right. There is a percentage for conservation corridor. 1 guess we must be done at the First Missionary Baptist Church, or at least not expecting to spend anything in 2001.
There's a property purchase item for 2001 that says three percent but --
That's a purchase rather than a cleanup, right? That's what it says. But in fairness, that might also be other properties besides residential. 1 believe you asked me expressly about residential.
Right. It could be commercial, for example. And 1 can't tell from this any more than

floodplain. We have not agreed to everything but of course EPA is in ultimate" - what? Control.
Control. Okay. "EPA wants us to go beyond the AOCs. We argue for containment or at least sequencing." What do you mean by "sequencing"? You sample and decide what you need to do, and sample and decide what you need to do, rather than decide what you need to do and then find data to support your hypothesis. Okay. Has there been a budgeted amount for cleanup of residential homes in the area? I'm not sure that there is anything broken out in that fashion. Well, you want to take a look at the budgets that are attached here and see if you see anything that addresses that? Let's do that.
Because frankly, 1 haven't even looked.

1 can tell about the next chart down. 1 don't see anything that says
"cleanup." Do you? Well, let's see. There's something that says "dredge spoils." There is something that says "Choccolocco Creek waste treatment plant." There's something that says "North Side" although it's budgeted at zero at the moment. Several of these could be cleanup but just in different places. 1 don't see anything that specifically says cleanup of homes, nor do 1 see anything that says specific cleanup of businesses. So some of the things might very well become -All right. Let's go back to your notes again. You say in parens, "This is the" -- you had AOC and crossed it out to ACO. Did you mean AOC or ACO? No. 1 meant AOCs. There are apparently several different forms and order. One is called AOC and another is called ACO.

19 is titled "Anniston Project Review,"
19 mercury was used. But there was a -- to
20 "February 7th, 2001," "Agenda." Who put 20 my knowledge, not personal knowledge; 1

2 surprise me, but 1 don't have personal
3 where y'all actually got in the cars and
3 knowledge of it.
4 went and looked at some of these
4 Q. Do you recall who the author was of that
5 off-site area that are listed as well as
5 e-mail?
6 the near site areas that are listed,
6 A. No, 1 don't; I'm sorry.
7 correct?
7 Q. Okay. Then you went - Then the next
8 A. Yes, that's correct.
8 part of the agenda talks about
9 Q. What was discussed during this overview 9 discussion of ongoing activities, and
10 of site history presentation from 2:30
10 that's got four items, and those 1 think
11 to 3:00, just in a nutshell? Do you
11 were covered in your handwritten notes,
12 remember?
12 correct?
13 A. 1 think the notes reflect what was
13 A. Yes, ma'am.
14 discussed. Which portion of the agenda 14 Q. And then budget overview, would that
15 they fit under, 1 don't know.
15 have been just a discussion of these
16 Q. Okay. Well, 1 guess what I'm trying to 16 attached budgets?
17 figure out is how far back in time did
17 A. Yes, ma'am.
18 y'all talk? For example, did you talk
18 Q. Then other issues, do you remember what
19 about the manufacturing processes used 19 was discussed in that category?
20 at the Anniston plant and things like,

1 wasn't going to ask what you ate; 1 was going to ask you where you went. 1 don't recall that either. I'm sorry.
1 need a good restaurant recommendation. 1 don't recall; I'm sorry. Let's skip then to what's entitled "Anniston Remedial Projects," "January 2001," "Monthly Report." Who prepared this document? There's no name on there so I'm not sure. 1 would guess that Craig did, but it is only a guess, based on his job responsibilities. Okay. And 1 guess what 1 want to find out is are there monthly reports for subsequent months that cover these same Anniston remedial projects? For example, would there be a February one, a March one, et cetera? There may be. 1 don't have them. 1 looked through all my Anniston files,

1 don't really think 1 want to go --1 think this all is fairly self-explanatory. Let me just take a quick glance at this and see if 1 have any specific questions about the first page. I'll take a drink, if 1 may, in the meanwhile.
Certainly. 1 do have a question on the fourth bullet point under EPA AOC. It talks about, "Received EPA's database which includes all sample results from EPA's residential and commercial property sampling programs in the Anniston area. This data has been integrated into our database." And my question is, what database are you referring to that you guys have? 1 didn't write this report.
Okay. Do you know the database that has this type of information? Internal - Sorry. I'm not aware of who keeps it nor in what form it's kept, but

12 you have enough money. So there's a 12 to the scope changing of the project?
13 probability as to whether we're going to 13 A. 1 think what it means is that's an
14 spend it given a period of time.
14 explanation as to why it differs from
15 Q. Okay. Let me ask you a question before 15 what the budget and the weighted -- the
16 you move on. Why does it say zero
16 averages were.
17 percent probability for conservation
17 Q. Then there's a little note that's got a

19 conservation corridor. What does that
20 Q. Okay. So it's just you doubt if that's
20 mean?
21 going to come to fruition in 2001?
21 A. Delta, meaning the difference went to
22 A. Yeah. If you look at some of the other 22 the conservation corridor. So in other

3 average" mean?
3 Q. Then under air monitoring it's got a
4 A. It's the mathematical product of the
4 little paren, 2. And then next to the
5 budget times the probability converted
5 current forecast it says "discontinued."
6 to a decimal rather than a percentage.
6 Why was that discontinued?
7 Q. And then current what?
7 A. 1 don't know.
8 A. Forecast.

14 it.
15 the probability. Things don't always
15 Q. 1 like that one. Let's see. Then you
16 turn out as you originally expected.
16 have got a note that says plus 800 K
17 Q. Okay. Then let's go to the first thing
17 disposal cost to Emelle. Does that
18 where it says, "due to delay in 2000 to
18 correspond with the Oxford Park number?
19 2001." Does that correspond to the

11 wanted us to do certain things that
12 Q. Then this little note about consent
12 might reasonably be put under the
13 orders. 1 think it says "& AOCs" or
13 category of goodwill, having nothing to
14 consent order "for AOCs"? Is that what 14 do with remediation.
15 that says under EPA investigation
15 Q. Any idea what types of things are being

2 1 don't know there's a final resolution
3 A. Yes, ma'am.
3 one way or the other.
4 Q. And then you have also circled the
4 Q. What sort of program are you proposing?
5 weighted average for the total, and that
5 A. At the time we had talked about training

6 programs.
7 A. That's right.
7 Q. What kind of training program?

14 Q. What is your present understanding of

16 oversight fees are?
16 A. I'm not sure at this point. There have

17 been several different things on the

2 do remediation work. There may be other 2 said "authority" and "recommend." He
3 issues, or there may have been other

4 issues.
4 Q. Okay. Well, let me break it into two
5 Q. So it's not job training for the
5 questions.
6 neighbors?
6 Does Mr. Branchfield have the
7 A. 1 think it was job training for people
7 authority to determine which remedial
8 in Anniston. Whether they were
8 projects should be implemented?
9 physically direct neighbors or others, 1
9 A. Within limits, yes.
10 don't know. But it was community
10 Q. What is his authority?
11 goodwill specifically.
11 A. I'd have to go back and ask for the
12 Q. Let's go to what's entitled "Summary
12 accountants to pull up his delegation of
13 Graph," "Anniston Summary 2001." What 13 authority.
14 does that depict?
14 Q. Does he have a number, authority number?
15 A. Well, my color blindness isn't going to 15 A. 1 suspect he does. 1 don't know what it
16 help very much. Nonetheless, the black 16 might be, nor do 1 know whether Mike may

17 have held him more closely than that.
18 actual. Craig did that for my benefit,
18 That's not the way 1 would operate.
19 1 guess. And since this was done for a 19 Q. That's what 1 was going to ask you. Now
20 February 7th meeting, we only had
20 that he is going to be your direct
21 actuals for one month.
21 report functionally, how do you -- how
22 Q. Right. Okay. So this is just sort of
22 would you handle dealing with the
23 projections of costs?
23 authority that Mr. Branchfield will have

1 A. That's right.
1 with respect to the Anniston remedial
2 Q. Then we get to the pie graphs that we
2 projects?
3 looked at briefly earlier. And 1 guess
3 A. My normal mode of operation, unless the
4 there are two pages. The first one is
4 comptrollership advised me that I'm
5 just the budget at the top. But you
5 required to do differently, would be to
6 have got one 2001 budget, and there's
6 delegate sufficient authority to match
7 several different projects, 1 guess,
7 his responsibility.
8 that have percentages assigned to them, 8 Q. And what is his responsibility level?
9 correct?
9 A. His responsibility is implementation of
10 A. Yes, ma'am.
10 the tactics for this plant.
11 Q. All right. Let me see if 1 have any
11 Q. So does Mr. Branchfield have within his
12 questions about that.
12 discretion -- Let's say he says, "You
13 Who makes the determination as to 13 know what; 1 think we should dredge Snow
14 how much gets budgeted for each of these 14 Creek." Will he have that discretionary
15 projects?
15 authority to make that determination?
16 A. Well, these budgets were done by Mike 16 A. 1 suppose that would depend on how much
17 Foresman, I'm sure, with input from

1 that area in 1994. Does that --
2 A. No, I'm sorry. 1 don't.
2 A. That's a sort of clay, isn't it?
3 Q. Well, you should know this because you 3 Q. Okay. So is that the same thing as a
4 worked there. Is that plant located
4 high-density polyurethane cap, or is
5 near a residential neighborhood?
5 that different?
6 A. No. Well, near, please tell me. It's

9 A. No, 1 haven't.
10 people who weren't doing it
10 Q. All right. Let's talk about Pensacola.
11 surreptitiously.
11 Were you aware that there was a surface
12 Q. Okay. Let's now move to the Trenton 12 impoundment area, or also called the
13 plant in Trenton, Michigan. Do you have 13 feed pond, that had some sludge and
14 any knowledge of any PCBs that were in 14 liner soils that were impacted with
15 the soil at that Trenton plant?
15 PCBs?
16 A. No, 1 don't.
16 A. In the way in which you phrased your
17 Q. We have been told by the attorneys
17 question, no, 1 wasn't. Had 1 asked
18 representing Solutia that apparently the 18 about PCBs, 1 would have known about the
19 Trenton plant removed approximately
19 existence of the feed pond.
20 forty cubic yards of PCB impacted soil
20 Q. But you don't know of any contamination
21 and disposed of those soils at the

1 of that?
1 Q. You just knew that there was a feed pond
2 A. No. Do you know what year it might have 2 there?
3 been?
3 A. 1 know that there was a feed pond, and 1
4 Q. 1 don't have a year. That's one of the
4 know that the feed pond is either in the
5 things 1 was going to ask you.
5 process of being closed or is closed.
6 A. No. 1 may have well been there doing
6 I'm not certain which.
7 product stewardship or other work during 7 Q. Do you know anything about the --
8 that period.
8 Solutia's construction of an on-site
9 Q. Do you know who within Solutia would

10 have the most knowledge about that
10 materials removed from that feed pond?
11 remediation work?
11 A. No, 1 don't.
12 A. Without the year, no, I'm sorry 1 don't.
12 Q. No details, 1 guess then, about specific
13 Q. Have you ever been to the Trenton plant? 13 PCB waste deposited there, levels, or
14 A. Yes.
14 things of that nature?
15 Q. Is that located near a residential
15 A. No. But 1 know all about Kearny.

18 there.
18 A. Sorry.
19 Q. Do you know of any PCBs that were ever 19 Q. Unless you want to tell me some more
20 disposed of at the Trenton plant?
20 about Kearny.
21 A. No, 1 don't.
21 A. No. 1 have told you what you asked.
22 Q. So if 1 ask you specific questions about 22 Q. Then let's move on to the Queeny plant,
23 PCB levels or capping, you wouldn't know 23 which you may have some more knowledge

3 Solutia's attorneys, the Queeny plant
3 A. We manufactured toluene sulfanile
4 disposed of approximately forty cubic
4 chloride. Various -- yeah. During part
5 yards of PCB contaminated soils
5 of the time 1 was there we manufactured
6 generated during the replacement of some 6 benzoic acid. 1 suppose we could go on,
7 railroad tracks. Did you know that?
7 but 1 don't remember --
8 A. No, 1 didn't. Do you know when it took
8 Q. Okay. 1 want to skip now to the Everett
9 place?
9 plant, which we did talk about before
10 Q. Do not. That was one of my questions 10 but 1 didn't ask you the kind of detail
11 for you.
11 1 want to ask you now.
12 A. I'm sorry. 1 was there for a period --
12
We were informed by Solutia's
13 Q. So you have no knowledge of any PCBs 13 attorneys that there were three areas of
14 that were disposed of at the Queeny
14 the Everett facility that have undergone

15 remedial activities associated with
16 A. No. You may recall my tenure there was 16 PCBs. The first area is the Therminol
17 from 1980 through nominally November of 17 furnace area, which consisted of a small
18 '84 however.
18 furnace where PCB-containing heat

19 exchange fluids were used in the past.
20 happened. Okay. Is that plant located 20 Do you know about that?
21 near a residential neighborhood?
21 A. No. 1 remarked earlier that when 1
22 A. Depending on how you choose to define 22 became acquainted with the Everett --
23 near.
23 Well, that's not perfectly true. 1 had
Page 210

1 Q. How close is the nearest resident?
1 been to Everett for business team

13 yet complete.
14 incomplete.
14 Q. So let me go back and make sure 1 have
15 Q. That's okay. Just give me sort of the
15 got a clear answer. Do you have any
16 major ones.
16 knowledge about the Therminol furnace
17 A. We manufactured salicylic acid in
17 area where PCB-containing heat exchanged
18 aspirin. We manufactured maleic
18 fluids were used?
19 anhydride.
19 A. No. Unless you wish to show me
20 THE WITNESS: I'm sorry. Do you 20 documentation that says they are one in

6 and off-site disposal of lagoon sludges,
7 any of that remediation work?
7 the removal and off-site disposal of PCB
8 A. I'm not familiar with the remediation
8 impacted surface soils, placement of

9 backfill material, and the installation
10 sounds like one in the same area, as 1
10 of a cap over the area. Are you

11 familiar with any of that remediation
12 Q. So let me ask you: Do you have any
12 work?
13 knowledge as to the quantity of
13 A. No. I'm not aware.
14 PCB-containing heat exchanged fluids
14 Q. So 1 guess you wouldn't know any details
15 used in that Therminol furnace area?
15 about the quantity of PCBs in that area
16 A. No, 1 don't.
16 or things of that nature?
17 Q. Do you know why the area was closed in
17 A. That's correct.
18 '87?
18 Q. Do you know when that area was closed?
19 A. Why the Therminol furnace was closed?
19 A. No, 1 don't.
20 No, 1 don't.
20 Q. Why it was closed?
21 Q. Do you know why it was necessary to raze 21 A. No.

1 what's called the 409 building area. Do
2 A. No. I'm sorry, 1 don't.
2 you know that area?
3 Q. Do you know the cost to do those things?
3 A. No, 1 don't. I'm sorry, ma'am.
4 A. No, 1 don't.
4 Q. It says we were told it was closed by

6 wall was constructed?
6 disposal of PCB impacted sludge and
7 A. From an engineering standpoint, to
7 installation of a cap over the area.
8 contain whatever was within it.
8 Are you familiar with any of that
9 Q. And so that would be the purpose of it,
9 remediation work?
10 containment?
10 A. No, ma'am.
11 A. That would be normally the purpose, yes.
11 Q. So you wouldn't be familiar with any of
12 Q. Do you know why the area was capped with 12 the other details about that?
13 a multi-layer cap?
13 A. That's correct.
14 A. Containment.
14 Q. Do you know of any PCBs that were ever
15 Q. Do you know what type of cap it was?
15 incinerated at the Everett plant?
16 A. No, 1 don't.
16 A. I'm not aware of any.
17 Q. Do you know the cost to build the soil

18 discovered in those areas?
19 A. No, 1 don't.
19 A. No, ma'am.
20 Q. Do you know the cost to cap it?
20 Q. All right. Kearny we talked about?
21 A. No, 1 don't.
21 A. Yes, ma'am.
22 Q. All right. The next area that was

13 were --
13 MR. KELLY: Object to the form.
14 Q. Okay. So when you talked about hot
14 A. It might, depending on what your
15 spots, that's the same as the three

No. But that's not my role, nor was it previously. Is Snow Creek a source of PCB contamination to fish in Choccolocco Creek and Lake Logan Martin? It may be if sediments moved from Snow Creek to Choccolocco Creek. And that's of course part of the basis for the issues. Do you know if back in the time when PCBs were actually being manufactured at
