And there were a nunber of different manufacturing emits being installed there, brand new, grouad up. Monsanto purchased some technology which they wanted to use there. And I had been familiar with the process at the Krumnrich plant at Sauget. It was the same procfcjct but a different technology. So I was assigned to a position.

Yes. Monsanto bought the technology to
make that.

And you went down and --
I was sort of what we call I was in
charge of -- start up and demonstrate
the plant. That took about -- took the
better part of a year, year and a half.
Than i had the same assignment at
another plant adjacent to that about
fifteen miles away, which was an old
established Monsanto operation at Texas,
City. But it was a different process
that we were building a new ;_ni t within
that plant. And the idea was to start

I can't remember what he specifically said. Well, did he ever say anything at all about why he and his group had become concerned about the PCS waste leaving? In particular, leaving the plant site. Only that it was -- had -- by very sketchy publications and things in literature and information that the plant had cone by, which t don't know how they came by it. But that had raised the flag to tell the plant to find out uhat their situation was in terms of discharge amounts. Well, you say he had some publications.

Again, in the second sentence of that
paragraph there's a reference to
reaching the objective that is set out
in this letter on a confidential basis.
Was that what Monsanto suggested be
dene7
1 suspocr it was uutually arrived at
with Joe Crockett.
But did Monsanto and people who
participated in this meeting suggest
that that be done?
No. I think Crockett probably initiated
that tone to the whole thing at the
t ime.
The reason I ask that is the way that
paragraph is written, and of course.
Mr. Miller is the one who wrote the
letter. It appears to be that's what
Monsanto wanted to take place at the
t iine. MR. WHITE: Object to the form as
to what appears.

I don't know how to comment on that. (By Mr. Stewart) Well, the lerter itself is listed as confidential. Is that not correct, Mr. Jessee? That's correct. And the sentence reads, for purposes of the record, the last sentence in the second paragraph says, "The full cooperation of the AUIC to reach the above objective on a confidential basis can be anticipated."
Am I to take frcm that that you all did not ask Mr. Crockett, from your response to my question about that intent -- and that's the one I was asking about. Do I take frcm that that Monsanto did not suggest and Mr. landwehr and the people who went down there and met with Mr. Crockett didn't suggest that you wanted to keep this on a confidential basis?

MR. WHITE: To himself? (By Mr. Stewart) Just to yourself. Okay. It appears that if no one else did, there was somebody in the outfit, at Monsanto at that time, who was worried about the recent lawsuit that had been instituted against the plant. And I would assure it refers to the Anniston plant, Mr. Jessee. Tnat's where I got

1 sure don't. But was there not sane concern at that
17 point in tine about disclosing matters
18 to the public because of some fear on

(By Mr. Stewart) In other words, you're
12 saying here today that there was never
13 any concern that the public might find
14 out about what you were dealing with and
15 sue you?

17 were.

I'm not talking about what your
19 responsibilities were. I'm talking, 20 Mr. Jessee, about what y'all's concern

' 11
would, paragraph three. Just to
12 yourself.

14 have read paragraph three or item three.

16 time this docunent was written about the
17 FDA perhaps participating in this
18 mat ter?
19 A.
I don't remeirber having any.
20 Q.
He refers to that. Ard he says in the

22 Crockett, Secretary of Alabama Water
23 ' Inprovement Commission, will try to

1 handle it in a certain way. And the
2 next sentence again Mr. Hodges is
3 referring to Joe Crockett, says he
4 believes that the FDA will not -- and I
5 6 A.
assure that means "participate." Looks like it.
7 Q,
Says "precipitately" but I think it
8 means "participate" in this matter.
9 Was there concern on Monsanto's
10 part that the FDA might participate or 11 beeere involved?
12 A.
I have no knowledge of that.
13 Q.
Had there not been seme concern
14 expressed by the FDA about products that
IS were produced by Monsanto that were PCS

it was acidic stuff coming out the bottom of it. And we ran that through the limestone pits to neutralize the acid in the outfall from the plant. You were just neutralizing acid; didn't have anything to do with the cleanup of .
PCBs?

Turned out it did because the PCS had an
affinity for depositing themselves to
the limestone. So they attached to the limestone? Yeah. Chanically nothing happened.
That was just a side benefit? You bet. So maybe, then, this inert material that you're talking about, twenty tons of inert material, you picked up 260 poinds of PCBs that probably were absorbed cn

CONFIDENTIAL - ?. Y. I. AND DESTROY
Following arts the moves underway resulting from the FDA findings
of high levels of PCB in fish taken from Choecolocco Creek down stream from it's confluence with Snow Creek.
STATUS
(1) We are presently discharging to Snow Creek about l6#/day of PCS (down from 25C#/day in '69). Measurements of departmental, waste streams show a total loss of only 2#/day. The discrepancy Is believed due to; (a) sampling problems in departmental waste atreama where two-phase systems of water and free aroclors may
be present, and (b) possible pickup of PCB by leaching previously deposited PCB from the limestone neutralization pit which also
acts as a settling basin.
(2) Work to further reduce losses presently underway:
a) Sump is being Installed at the aroclor department to cap
ture free aroclors from the 275 SP flow. This is believed to
be the largest departmental source of sewer loss because of
the liquid aroclors frequently observed. However, sampling
work did not confirm the belief because, no doubt, of Inherent
sampling problems. The project was due for completion on 9/1,
and had been delayed because of an underground spring.
'
b) Curbing is being Installed at drum loading area with dry pick up of spilled aroclors planned.
c) Investigation of trsatment methods - adsorption by acti vated carbon showing most promise to date.
(3) Joe Crockett, Secretary of the Alabama Water Improvement Commission, will try to handle the problem quietly without release
of the Information to the public at this time. He believes that FDA will net precipitately in this matter (he did not advise how FWQA might react).' Dr. Myers, Director of public Health of Alabama, wants toxclty information on PCB's and this will be conveyed per
sonally to him by Jack Garrett- next week.

PROGRAM
(A) Public Relations - E. V. John developed a proposed state ment to be used in event of publio disclosure but, after consul tation with Legal, felt it should not be used because of the recent lawsuit instituted against the plant by BASS. Therefore,
an Innocuous, essentially "no coiment" type statement is being drafted.
(B) Operator Education - All Anniston personnel have been read vised of the necessity to avoid sewering of any aroclor. .
(C) Mechanical Program
(1) Departmental Sump - at extra cost of $2,000, work is
proceeding on an overtime b&sla with completion expected
8/12/70. This win eliminate the possibility of large los
ses from the operating area.
'
'
(2) Loading Area - Vashup of apllled aroclor has been stopped and dry pick via sand Instituted. Curbing project is being expedited.
(3) Neutralization Pit Clean out
(a) Immediately, the settled material downstream of the limestone will be removed as well as possible by pumping, with minimum stirring of the water. The solids
(and aroclors) will be landfilled.
(b) By-Pasa of Neutralization pt. - CR crash basis,
trenches will be dug to allow diversion of all water from the limestone pit. This will take 1-2 weeks and will cost about $10,000.
In addition, it will be necessary to provide caustic
neutralization of the acid wastes. This will be handled
in the aroclor department via Installation of a pH con
troller and valve with temporary piping and trucking
facilities. Cost will be about $5,000 plus about $500
per day for caustic during the period when, the alternate
neutralization is required. During this period, PCB
losses should be no more than 5 ~ 10 lbs./day.

(c) Cleanout - The pit will be thoroughly cleaned out
with probable removal of the present deteriorated
asphalt membrane and replacement (possibly) by a plas tic membrane which can resist aroelore. The plant will
consider possible structural changes to permit more affective operation and ability to make future cleanouts
without the present by-pass steps. Recommendations reli atlve to this will follow.
'
(k) Water Plow Reduction - Present total flow through pit is 700 gpm. Por at least several of the streams, reduction of flow will result in immediate reduction of PC3 to Snow Creek. More Important, reduction of flow will minimize future treat
ment costs.
In conjunction with the pit by-pass work in 3(a) above, approx imately 200 gpm of aroclor free water will be permanently diver ted. Included In the first reduction are the chlorlnator cool ing atreama and moat of the water coming from the Nlran flare tower. Details of how this will be accomplished will be avail
able by 8/14/70.
Over the next 3-4 months, further water conservation projects will be installed with objective of reducing the stream to the lowest practical amount, now estimated to be about 300 - 4oo gpm. The projects will involve multiple use of water and fur
ther diversions of aroclor - free water,
(5) Pinal Treatment - Baaed on some Indications ( and much hope), by September, the actions above may approach the present plant
objective of 10 ppb of PCB's in TOO gpm (or 0.1 #/day). The hope la raised because dissolved aroclor has shown a pronounced affinity for surface adsorption (as on walla of sample bottles). The sollda generated by the limestone neutralization are believed to retain aroclor passing by them. Therefore, adequate settling
and/or filtration following neutralization with periodic removal
of the solids may accomplish the necessary treatment (along with water flow reduction). The plant will proceed on preliminary design of filtration facilities with and without carbon treatment between neutralization and filtration, tfhe design will be avail able for action In case the reduction Is not as great as hopedfor or In case the control agencies demand more complete removal
(control agency requlreoenta are a completely unknown factor at present). By the time a decision must be made relative to final treatment, we-should have better information on requirements and
methods.

(D)Plsh, Hud snd VAtr Sampling - Sines our fish samples from nearby Choccolocco Creek Also showed high levels of PCB's, we are institu ting more sampling to determine extent of the problem. Early during the week of .8/10, legal size fish will be caught In Choccolocco Creek near to confluence with the Coosa River (Logan Martin Lake}. Pish will also be taken from the lake. If these samples show high (-**5.0 ppm) levels of PCS, sailing will be extended to polnte down the Coosa River. A high priority will be given these samples by Scott Tucker.

Attached is a copy of the residue data which was gathered from the June fish collection. This data has been sent to the consultants for their comparison with the previous data.
Also attached is a copy of an interim report which we received from Ors. Gunning and Suttkus. Since this re port is from only two sets of residue data (December 1970 and March 1971), only two conclusions can be drawn. These conclusions are (1) Monsanto has an excellent ana lytical method and (2) there has been no significant re duction in P.C.B. concentration between the experimental fish and the controls.
If you have questions concerning these items, please contact me.

la vo stated to you in Innlaton tone veeks ago, ve hare vorked
up the P.C.3. residue data as ve hare received then from you and
intended to report on thea formally at the end of the first year
Of OUT1 0LLTVmT Qf CtlQC CO2.0CCO

Eovorer, considering the unfa-rorahl# publicity Monsanto Company
recently received as a result of the congressional sub-cocnittee
report, ve felt it laperxtiTe that ve auhcdt an intaria report to*
Monsanto Coupany at this time In order to lasers that both parties
(Monsanto and Mosultants) say Isov vhere ve presently stand vith
regard to the P.C.B. residue malysee.
.
First, ve hare spent a great deal of tine in deciding vfcat comparisons vill be sort eeaningful to us in looking at the total residue d a-raii hl m_ Tt is our opinion that strict statistical applications are cot feasible, or indeed even applicable, because of the tremendous, masher of variables that earns into play vith the residue analyses. Eavervr, sons broad comparisons can be made vithln the confines of the data and these breed comparisons can be supported by other datarviaa'tiens nd int,pr--m rm* that are indeed Justifiahle.
Analysis I
We vill refer to this analysis as a paired-value analysis for vet wight JLrod^e 19d. The *'....^f paired values is free one quarter *
to tha next Immediate quarter, all fish species combined. Specifically, w tre'oamparing December, 1970 vith March, -1971.
COTTBOLS--67J of paired values decreased (12 of IS determinations).
V i 'ptth TtfTVv * r g _. ceJ? paired values
p * * --s (5 of 10 determinations).
Since control station# are those stations vherein the fishes present could not receive P.C.B's due to location vith respect to vater currents \4iich could potentially carry P.C.B's, thm experimental stations are those vherein
This CwMwsriiun &uca that tie rishaa in the experiments t area do nou snov
a corresponding dscrease in P.C.H. residua levels (as JLroclor 1251*) compared vith the controls. There is a 17X difference.

V Boat conclude then for Analysis I that no improvement la fish residue lavels, ll rpedea combined, 1* indicated. '
Analysis H
The comparison is the ease as for Analysis X ezeept that lipid vnluas for Aroclor 125h *r used. Again, all fish species vers cabined.
ojJThOLS--SOi of paired values decreased (11 of 22 determinations). KIPERIHEUTilS--30Jf of paired rslues decreased (3 of 10 dataminatlone).
In this second analysis ve see again that the fishes In the experimental area (subjected to P.C.B. residues) do nob show a corresponding decrease In P.C.B. residue lerels (as Arcelor 125U, lipid fraction) compared with the controls. There is a 20< differwee (compared with ITS for Analysis I).
The first two analyses are Indicative of the fact that the handling of the samples and subsequent analysis for P.C.B. residues hare been successful and .indeed rcpetltlTe when the vet weight and lipid fraction values for Arodor 12$2i are canpared. This is of course what we would hope for. However, the results are not good since both analyses show us that Aroclor 12$2i residues have not decreased as ve bad hoped they would. Considering the residual nature of P.C.B1 s we were oartainly optimistic to esy the least.
Analysis iux
Ve Bade a tingle species analysis for each of five fish specie*! 1. bluegill, 2. bladctail shiner, 3. rtcneroller, It. longear sunfiah, snd $. bass. In each Instance the resides levels were higher in the experimental area than in the control area. Ve must wait for further data for the final six month a of the first year of the rq-vey to see if this trmd Is overturned. At this point we would have to say that the'data are detrimental to Kcnsanto*
Analysis 17
A statioa-to-etation comparison was
between successive stations
aaong the 10 stations ve had realdue data for. Stations 6, 7, 8, and 10
(7 1* Ksrtha VUliaas, 8 is Highway 93, and. 10 Is Highway 77 for orientation)
had the highest residue values for the fishes we studied. ` This is, of course,
logical and to be expected when ve consider the location of these stations
with respect to the plant. In the future we must be able to demonstrate
considerable decreases In residue levels her.e if we are to show environmental
improvement.

Our field observation! over the peat few jeers end continuing up until the js'essit tins show that the greatest nmsher of deformed fishes haye been foimd at Marth VUliaras (Station 7) and atationa immediately below 7. Ve also aee the greatest nunber of fishes that are either side or listless in these areas. Of course rlsual observations won't tall us what caused these fishes to become deformed or sick but we must consider the total observations as i crude indication that something is indeed wrong in these areas.
In stannary, there is nothing ve can do with the residua data at this point that would allow Monsanto to counteract the unfavorable public opinion that may result from ths congressional sub-consittee report (which ve have not seen). Perhaps the Jens, 1971 data will ahow a decrease that is not apparent at this point--we can only hope that this will be the esse.
Let us point out ons additional aspect of the problem that might allow Monsanto Company to derive sons favorable publicity. It is our impression that vpur plant data will shew that ths plant affluent has been cleaned up tremendously and that on a pound for pound basis you are putting very little residue into Choccoloeco Creek at the present time in comparison with past years. Certainly you would not want to give the figures in a news release, but would it not be helpful to state categorically that the effluent is relatively dean at the present time? Ve fully realise that Monsanto Company officials are in a better position to judge the merits of such a release than ve are. It is simply passed along for what it is worth.
Ve are very sorry that we can't paint a brighter picture at the present time. However, ve all teow that we have to study these situations carefully and that ve must be able to doc-seat any diins of environmental improvement before they are released for publie consumption.
If you have any questions *out this interim report, please let us hear fJna you.

Legal, et al, we requested latest emissions data on the flow to Snow Creeic. Ve had hoped that It might'show an Improvement over the 1st week In September and thus demonstrate a favorable trend to Crockett. Instead, the emissions are considerably increased with 9/13/70 at 6.25 PP (r about 80 lbs. of PCB for the day). Prom the Legal standpoint, there Is extreme reluctance to report even the relatively low emission figures because the Information could be subpoenaed and used against us in legal actions. Obviously, having to report these gross losses multiplies, enormously, our problems because the figures would appear to Indicate lack of control.
Realizing the extreme efforts the plant has gone to in order to curtail loes of rC3!s, Is there anything more that can be done to get the losses down? Is there a possibility that sampling practiaes are responsible for the wide variations shown (you might try duplicate efflu ent samplers)? Are there any practises In the manufac turing area which might result In the peak losses? Obviously, we oannot solve the problems from St. Louis but we do want to engshaslza the concern from here.

Since he insisted again on knowing what effluent levels were, we verbally informed him that we were presently discharging total Aroclors in the ran of 1-5 lbs./day with the latest trend being toward the 1 lb./day end of t range. To his cuestion on past discharges, we informed him that current discharges were down from recent past ranges by i/S to 1/LC. but cualifie this answer that high recent past numbers were a result of higher water e flow and high solids content in the old limestone neutralization pit.
In conjunction with this information, a lengthy discussion of the technical complexity of Arcelor or PCS numbers resulted in hr. Crockett's agreeing that any written effluent level reports would be held confidential by the Technical Staff and would not be available to the public until or unless Monsanto released it. Mr. Crockett also changed his past position from wanting a weekly report to accepting a monthly report of 24 hour cmculative effluent sample results. The initial report and transmittal letter is attached. The second report will rover October 21 through 31, and all reports thereafter will cover whole months.

With Che present emphasis on pollution control It Is necessary that ve be able to know what the Aroclor losses from our plant are EVERY DAY. These results are reported to the State of Alabama Water ' Improvement Commission each month. We cannot miss samples and only supply excuses such as: I vas too busy, the pump was broken, or the sampler was frozen.
I can assure you that our number one job Is to keep the samplers running and collect the best possible sample for analysis.
During the past several months the Importance of ditch water samples has grown from something we want to know to something we must know Co stay in business. To help in keeping the samplers on line we are Caking the following actions.
1. A light is being put into each sample box to supply heat and

One vary ljg>ortant objective of our PC8 environmental control program was to control the losses of PCS in
our plants to achieve a aaxlcua of 50 ppb In the
waste water effluent by 1*1-71 and 10 ppb by 9-1-71.
'
IXirlng the month of Septeober, Vewport reported an average of 246 ppb. During Boveaber Anniston re-
?orted 1410 ppb and the Eruamrlch Plant reported 95 ppb.
Because of the seriousness of the PCS problem this
level of perfornanee cannot be allowed to continue.
Z do not reeall that any of the plants have been
denied a resource they requested to achieve the
stated objectives.

Ve do not have the luxury of vnllalted tine to conbat this problem, tbat do we need to reduce losses

A dismantling eonexact ha* bn 1C and we are ready eo eare phytlcal dismantling of cha remaining Aroclor production depart ment- The attached tkaech show* the area eo b diamended, which include* the "old" Biphenyl till*,the Liquid Aroclor production facilitlaa, and the 1962 Solid Aroclor inaeallatlon (Arsaa 2, A, 6, 7, 3, and 10). Also eo be dismantled la cha 120,000 gallon rubber-lined HC1 rtorege tank ahown in Area 3. Equipment itema in the** areaa were reviewed by all Chree companies who bid on the job, a* well a* the Corporate Equipment Disposal Section. With the exception of the item* described in III-C, tha unit was claased as having a low salvage value, primarily eael scrap value.
Equipment in these areaa is almost entirely uniquely designed, steel equipment dating from the early 1940'a (or perhaps earlier) through 1965. It has been advertised internally through a catalog publiahed by The Equipment Disposal Section of Central Purchasing by A. Reward Smith. This catalog received Corporate-wide distri bution. further publicity was given through the cooperation of R. H. toonta and Don Bolliger of CSD by defining "systems" and equipment which sight be utilised by Central Engiaeerisg projects.
Through these efforts, inquiries have been received from a* far away as England and as close as Decatur, Alabama, but, for a variety of reasons, close scrutiny of the equipment by potential users has set resulted is utilisation. Sowwar, Central Engineer ing projects at Delaware River, Lullng, and Sylvan have bean able to use several items (including the entire BC1 absorption system and the mew flahar Installed for Aroclor 1263, for exas^le). Tha Aaoiatoo Plant has salvaged instrumentation, electric motors, valves, lights, sad mj other available Urns of kam value for existing installations and/or planned projects. Ve are retaining these items in appropriate storage areas.

Subject: PCS Effluents free Anniston Plant to Snow Creek, Choccolocco Creek. Bte.
This meeting was arranged by Mr. Joe Crockett at the request .
of Mr. John White.
.
Mr. White had two primary areas for concern:
.
1. The Federal Department of Justice has apparently reccmanded that suit be Initiated against the Anniston plant for ?CB emission under the federal He fuse Act.
2. He will be required to approve or reccomend a Refuse Act
disposal .permit for Anniston which Halts pollution levels.
The PCB production history of the Anniston plant was reviewed
briefly from Its beginning In 1929 to the present. Our
program to control and reduce PCB emissions to Snow Creek was
reviewed by both Monsanto employes and Joe Crockstt who
_
emphasised that we had kept him fully advised concerning our
program and our progress.- Gens Jesse# carefully pointed out

-i'.at our production or ?C3's hid bean greatly reduced in
January, 1971 and discontinued in August, 1971. It was explained that current PCS emissions In the liquid erriuents primarily resulted iram our inability to mic
a complete separation or biphenyl rroa other polyphenyls. Mr. Jessee stated that equipment would be Installed to
vastly improve this separation by July I, 1972, and that by this tima a rurther reduction in PCS in emuents would be errected.
'
There was considerable discuaslon concerning the limiting
level or PCS that should be permitted in the discharge.
.
Mr. White suggested "no detectable saount." Hr. Crockett
and the Monsanto personnel pointed out that this was an
undealrabla approach. The preferred concept was explained
as a reduction in aqueous volume accompanied by a concentration
reduction (reduced pounds per day). -This appeared to be
. M*
As a result or the meeting, the rollowing agreements were reached:
1. Mr. Crockett and Mr. White wiH agree upon an interim permissible level for PCS emissions to be provided in the Refuse Act permit. Obviously, Mr. Crockett will press ror a number in excess or our 0.3 lbs./day current level.
2. The permissible PCB will be reviewed again when cur new
separation equipment is in operation aa or JUly 1, 1972
to arrive at a new permit level.
-
3. A sunnary report outlining our past work and ruture plans will be written and sent to the XPA office via Mr. Crockett's emcs,
A second copy oT our existing monthly reports on PC3
emuents to Mr. Crockett will be rorwarded to Mr. White
via Mr. Crockett.
*
3 Monsanto is ready
willing to meet with the Pederal
ZPA personnel concerning the PCB problems whenever
requested' and will Teel it a privilege to describe our
program.

It was suggested by Mr. White that it night be desirable to dredge Snow Creek. I believe we convinced him that thla is undesirable.
Ve received strong indications that the Southeastern Regional EPA Office will roc amend strongly against a Refuse Act
suit by the Pederal Department of Justice on ?CB pollution.
