Union Carbide's phenolic molding materials production facilities at Bound Brook, New Jersey are old and non-competitive. This factor, as well as cost increases in energy, labor, and equipment, necessitate this decision. The corporation is a minor factor in the phenolic molding materials market. It is expected that the industry will be able to meet demand, and that no disruption to customers will result from this withdrawal. It is Che company's intention to concentrate its resources in the production and sale of phenolic resins which are used in decorative laminates, abrasives, insulation, wood bonding, coatings and adhesives. # e` . 75 : ii07 V5B33 PLAINTIFFS EXHIBIT f..,ucAi6l5 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ASBESTOS REMOVAL CONTRACTS QUALITY OF WORK 1. Contractor employees shall conduct their asbestos removal activities so as to minimize the generation of airborne fibers. This will be partly achieved by only removing asbestos after it has been wetted. Only in mutually agreed upon cases will the removal of dry asbestos be permitted. Other accepted standard practices to minimize the generation of airborne asbestos fibers will be observed by the contractor during removal as applicable. 2. The contractor shall insure that all asbestos removal and disposal activity is conducted in conformance with the following regulations: a. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1001 Asbestos b. 40 CFR Part 61 subparts A and B, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants c. N.J.A.C. 7:26 Non-Hazardous Waste Regulation, and d. N.J. P.L. 1984, C.173. Asbestos Control and Licensing Act. 3. A copy of the contractors New Jersey Asbestos Removal License shall be readily available at the job site at all times. All contractor employees shall have in their possession their New Jersey asbestos workers permit. Any contractor employee found to not have their permit in their possession shall be escorted from the premises and not allowed to return without their permit. 4. Asbestos removal work on any given day shall not commence until the following activities have been completed: a. Visual inspection by the contractors foreman and a UCC representative to insure that adequate preparative activities have taken place, eg. posting and demarcation of asbestos work area, coordination with operating departments, sealing of doors, windows, openings to prevent transports of asbestos fibers to other areas. b. Initiation of a Hazardous Work Permit by the UCC representative. c. Inspection of all contractor workers' New Jersey asbestos worker permits by a UCC representative. 5.

A. Huber's letter of June 22, 1977 attached). Per R. A. Huber's recommendation, I'd like to submit documentation to the EPA in early December of Bound Brook's best estimate of expected activity for 1978. Because communications for this law are directed at an environmental agency, it's necessary for me to coordinate any paperwork required for compliance. Con sequently, please complete a form, similar to the "Form of Notification" on page 3 of R. A. Huber's letter, for each separate activity requiring removal of as bestos - containing insulation. Once I've received all such forms, I'll submit one complete package to the EPA in early December. If any assistance is needed, let me know. R:nb attachment j\ 'l 0 o 3 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE By: 3.

The limit of detection under the con ditions monitored is 0.002 fiber per cubic centimeter. Thus, all locations monitored indicated less than one thousanth of the two fibers per cubic centimeter OSHA limit. There is always the possibility that OSHA will try to lower the two fiber limit to 0.2 fiber in response to lobbying by labor unions and public advocate groups, in which case levels in the tunnels are still two orders of magnitude {one hundreth) of any such 1imit. Monitoring was conducted over a period of two days at a total of five sample points, each five feet above the floor level to approach the typical breathing zone elevation Samplings were taken over periods of approximately six hours. Although this is a long sampling period, it was selected in anticipation of very low fiber levels, necessitating a large volume of sampled air to achieve a low detection level with the analytical procedures specified by OSHA. The sampling locations were selected near the inlets of the exhaust fans so as to monitor the tunnel branch ventilated by each of the four exhaust fans. In addition, a monitor was placed at a point found to be in the path of highest air velocity on the theory that if airborne fibers were present, they would more likely be found in the airstream of highest velocity. The location was a hole in the partition between Sections E-2 and E~3, the tunnel section most frequently visited by per sonnel entering from the boiler house. The unusally high velocity of 300 fpm at this sample point was created by the No. 5 boiler fan pulling air from the tunnel system through the abandoned ash tunnel. The five samplings are tablulated as follows and shown in the attached sketch: Date 2/W83 II II 11 2/17/83 Sample Time Minutes 370 361 31414 33** I45I4 Location F-29 D-10 J-36 C-2 E-2/E-3 Tunnels Sampled F B and D J and C-38 to C-69 8 and C-l to C -- 37 Mr. 0. C. Veazey 2 February 21, 1983 While the absence of asbestos fibers in the tunnel ambient air is encouraging, it must be noted that the study was conducted during periods of no maintenance activity, thereby representing minimum conditions for generating dust. I would expect measurable fiber counts downwind from a typical insulation removal or re pair job if proper precautions, particularly wetting the insulation, were not taken. During such activity, it would be advisable to restrict entry to all except personnel engaged in the work and wearing respiratory protection. This is particularly important when removing insulation from hot steam lines, since wet conditions cannot be guaranteed under high heat conditions. Although, housekeeping conditions appeared generally good during the survey, there were some accumu1 at ions of insulation visable on the floor, probably containing asbestos. Even though I do not consider this a serious hazard, OSHA has cited accumulations of asbestos on workplace surfaces under the Section 5 (a) (l) gen eral duty clause. I, therefore, recommend attention to a further clean up on a systematic basis. In addition, there are several cases of deteriorating insulation. Any of these identified as containing asbestos should be repaired. "Quick fixes" are available consisting of coatings easily applied and wrapped with glass fabric, locking the insulation in place. I can provide samples for trials. It would appear that a systematic program of spot repairs could enhance housekeeping in the tunnel system and allay further concerns over potential hazards due to asbestos. /rk at tachmen t W. D.

The purpose of the Practice is to ensure the safety and health of employees directly involved with performing the work and others, either in the Imediate area or downwind, who may be exposed to residual dust/fibers. Insulation material containing asbestos is no longer Installed by UCC; the concern of this Practice is to control the demolition of old, asbestos-containing insulation. All insulation materials approved through the use of UCC Insulation Standards have been specified asbestos-free since 1976. 2 STANOARDS 2.1 Permissible Exposure Limits 2.1.1 Employee 8 hour time-weighted average exposure to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers shall not exceed 0.5 fibers, longer than 5 micrometers, per cubic centimeter of air. 2.1.2 No employee shall be exposed at any time to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers in excess of 10 fibers, longer than 5 micrometers, per cubic centimeter of air. 2.2 Work Practices 2.2.1 Insofar as practicable, demolition, removal or handling of asbestos-containing insulation shall be performed while the material is in a sufficiently wet state to prevent emission of airborne fibers exceeding exposure limits prescribed in 2.1.1 and 2.1.2. 2.2.2 Caution signs shall be posted at all approaches to areas which may contain excessive concentrations of airborne asbestos fibers so that an employee may read the signs and take necessary protective steps before entering the area. The signs shall conform to 20" x 14" vertical format and state: ASBESTOS DUST HAZARD Breathing Asbestos Dust May Be Hazardous To Your Health Avoid Breathing Oust Wear Assigned Protective Equipment Do Not Remain In Area Unless Your Work Requires It Sign design specification details are found in 29 CFR 1910.145 (d) (4). In addition to these signs, legible signs warning of the health hazards of asbestos shall be provided and displayed at each location where airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers may exceed the exposure limits listed in Section 2.1.1. 2.2.2.1 An appropriate barricade, using colored tape for example, shall be erected around the perimeter of. outdoor areas as a supplementary, protective measure to discourage unauthorized entry. 2.2.3 Insofar as practicable, removed insulation shall be wetted and placed directly Into labeled plastic bags (or other suitable containers) for disposal at an approved landfill. Otherwise, place plastic sheeting beneath the Job site, mist STANDARD PRACTICE SH-256 PAGE 2 OF 5 NOVEMBER 1983 INTER DIVISION spray the removed Insulation with water, and then place In plastic-bags. When wet methods of rsnoval/cleanup are Impractical, e.g., when temperatures are below freezing, vacuuming or sweeping may serve as an effective alternate cleanup method. Sweeping compound shall be applied to the work area to prevent dust generation when sweeping. 2.2.4 Label Specifications - Container caution labels shall be printed In letters of sufficient size and contrast as to be readily visible and legible. The label shall state: CAUTION Contains Asbestos Fibers Avoid Creating Dust Breathing Asbestos Dust May Cause Serious Bodily Harm 2.2.5 Housekeeping - All external surfaces in any place of employment shall be maintained free of accumulation of asbestos fibers, if, with their dispersion, there would be an excessive concentration.Special attention should be given to cleaning scaffolds used in demolition work. 2.2.6 Waste Pisposal - Asbestos waste, scrap, debris, bags, containers, equipment, and asbestos-contaminated disposable clothing, consigned for disposal, which may produce airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers in excess of prescribed exposure limits shall be collected and disposed of in sealed impermeable bags, or other closed impermeable containers to an approved landfill. 2.3 Personal Protecti ve Equi pment 2.3.1 Respiratory Protection - Employees engaged In the spraying [wetting-down] of asbestos, the removal; in the demolition of pipes, structures, or equipment covered or insulated with asbestos; and in the removal or demolition of asbestos insulation or coverings shall be provided with respiratory equipment selected from among those approved by the Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, or the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, Department of Health and Human Services. Compliance with exposure limits prescribed in 2.1, Permissible Exposure Limits, shall not be achieved by the use of respirators, except: 1. During the time period necessary to Install the engineering controls and to institute the work practices to prevent exposures from exceeding permissible limits. 2. In work situations In which either engineering controls or wet method work practices are not feasible to an extent to reduce the airborne concentrations of asbestos dust below limits prescribed. * 3. In emergencies. Where respirators are permitted: 1. A reusable or single use, air purifying respirator may be used to reduce exposure below permissible limits, when the ceiling or the 8-hour time-weighted average airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers are reasonable expected to exceed no more than 10 times the PEL limits. If not monitored and verified, a type "C" continuous verified flow or pressure demand, supplled-alr respirator must be used. A i o 0*1-3 STANDARD PRACTICE INTER DIVISION SH-2S6 PAGE 3 OF 5 NOVEMBER 1963 2. A full-facepiece powered air purifying respirator nay be used to reduce exposure below permissible limits when the celling or the 8-hour time-weighted average airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers have been monitored and verified to exceed 10 times but not 100 times the PEL limits. If. not monitored and verified, a type "C" continuous flow or pressure demand, supplied-alr respirator must be used. 3. A type "C" continuous flow or pressure-demand, supplied-afr respirator shall be used to reduce exposure below permissible limits when the ceiling or the 8-hour time-weighted average airborne concentrations are reasonably expected to exceed 100 times those limits. 2.3.2 Special Clothing - The employer shall provide and require use of special clothing, such as coveralls or similar whole body clothing, head coverings, gloves, and foot coverings for any employee exposed. Contaminated clothing should not be stored in lockers. It should be changed dally. 2.3.3 Change Rooms - At any fixed place of employment exposed to concentrations of asbestos fibers in excess of permissible exposure limits, the employer shall provide change rooms for employees working regularly at the place. Two separate lockers or containers shall be provided each employee, so separated or isolated as to prevent contamination of the employee's street clothes from his work clothes. 2.3.4 Laundering - Laundering of asbestos-contaminated clothing shall be done so as to prevent the release of airborne asbestos fibers in excess of prescribed exposure limits. Those performing laundering of asbestos-contaminated clothing must be informed of all requirements listed in Section 2.3, Personal Protective Equipment. Contaminated clothing shall be transported In sealed impermeable containers and labeled in accordance with Section 2.2.5, Label Specifications. If disposable coveralls are used, they should be placed into containers with asbestos for disposal. 2.4 Industrial Hygiene RespossibllIty 2.4.1 Moni tori ng - Employee exposure monitoring shall be conducted to determine compliance status with regard to permissible exposure limits and respiratory protection requirements. Environmental/Area monitoring shall be conducted along the periphery of the restricted area to assure that fugitive emissions exceeding permissible exposure limits do not extend past the demarcated area. Samples shall be collected on a membrane filter of 0.8 micrometer porosity mounted in an open-face filter holder. Samples shall be of such frequency and pattern as to represent with reasonable accuracy the levels of exposure of the employees. In no case shall sampling be at Intervals greater than 6 months for employees whose exposures to asbestos may reasonably be foreseen to exceed prescribed exposure limits. All determinations of airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers shall be made by the membrane filter method at 400 - 450 x (magnification) with phase contrast illumination as specified In Volume 38 Hethod 38C - 29 x 4 - RLa of UCC Industrial Hygiene methods. 2.5 Training 2.5.1 All employees who are exposed to airborne asbestos concentrations in excess of the exposure limit listed In Section 2.1.1 with or without the use of respirators must participate In a training progreftn that Includes these information topics: 1.
