The solid waste incinerator referred to in the April 21, 1971 PCB Management Plan was intended to dispose of capaci tors as well as transformer parts, floor sweepings, treat ment clay, treatment carbon, rags, etc. The test which was conducted in December indicated that the technology required to properly incinerate was available.

The decision was made to postpone the installation of an incinerator until the need was great enough to Justify the cost. In the meantime, we are recommending the use of approved landfills. I have enclosed copies of correspondence relating to the test run and copies of literature on shredding equipment. It appears from the Wall Street Journal article that Eidal International has representatives in Japan. Id . Enclosures W. B Papageorge 1 r 0003276 WATER PCB-SD0000040547
