MR. STEWART: That is exactly what I'm talking about, and I appreciate you saying that. I'm talking about the '70s.
Well, I was starting to answer you in the '80s, because that's what I'm familiar with.. Are you not familiar with what kind of test results they got -No. -- in the '70s? No. I was not working that part of chat in the * 70s. Let ms ask you this: Didn't you become the enviromsntal officer sc Monsanto

working there sometime in the '70sj is
that correct?
That's correct.
What was the exact date you went there,
if you can recall?
August the 26th, 1967.
So you were there when this testing that
you previously cold us about was done along Snow Creek and Choccolocco ami
that area in the '70s?
Yes.
I believe you mentioned last time In '
your deposition that you didn't
necessarily participate In that. But
did you know enough about it to know
what kind of teec results they were
getting along that area? Well, I need you to be more specific.

That would have had to do with testing of PCBs, whether it came from the plant or from the landfill or whatever. wouldn't it, Mr. Brown? We covered chat before, and that's what 1 thought you had previoualy told ma. The PCS testing that was dons in the '70s was done prior to '76. I understand that.

In my position in 1974, I had emerging
regulations, the compliance of che
ongoing operations of the facility. I understand what you did after '74.

how do you know, first, what steps they
took if you don't even know what
readings they got?

What I'm telling you is that it was to
them to do their job. I had my job to

Well, did anybody from that group ever

Zs that what I'm understanding you to be saying, Mr. Brown, since you took the
position as esvlroiaiisntal officer. because you felt like che whole problem
bad been taken care of? The problem had been brought to appropriate closure by the regulatory
people and the people working cm chat problem. The most responsible action
that any
mind could conceive of at
that point ia time had been taken.
There was no further action from a
regulatory or any -- any need that any
human mind could conceive that needed to
be done in 1974.

What struck me - - If you will take a
look at this Plaintiffs* Exhibit Seven.
It appeared that Monsanto was aware of
some pollution chat had been caused by
your plant in Snow Creek, Choceolocco
Creek, and elsewhere at that particular
period of time, but there was an sffort
being made at that particular period of
time to do what you had mentioned a
minute ago. And this may have come from
the regulator, or lc may have come from
a combination of both. But 1 vane what
the source of the statement is, if you
know. It says, "Give no statements or
publications which would bring the
situation to the public's attention."
That's paragraph three.
What I would like to know.
Mr. Brown, if you know what the source
of that was. Is that what you indicated
earlier, where things were confidential?

Is chat what you meant by chat?
No, sir. I'm telling you that stamping
something like this confidential was a
routine procedure.
A routine procedure. You did it every
time you had something to eay that had
to do with something that you sent to a
regulator? You did that yourself?
Everything I wrote was strictly of a
technical nature, had nothing from a
regulatory standpoint. It had
confidential marked on it. It didn't

This
to do with information, I
balla.a, about Aroclor pollution. That

A serious problen exists at the present tiae with Che Monsanto dump. The two main areas of concern are: (1) water leakage frea the F.C.3. dump, and (2) lack of security throughout the dump area. These two areas create Hazards la the areas of water pollution and in liability problems.
September 12, 1S71, all open dumps in die State of A la bates will be eon* verted to land-fill operations. This law applies to municipalities, but it also applies to any privetc dump operation which might pose a water pollution problem or health hazard. In light of the attention P.C.3. has received, it is highly probable that the Monsanto (?.C.3.) ducip area could ixi classified as a serious water pollution source. For this reason it is imperative that this operation be converted to a land fill type so as to minimize the chances for vqerr pollution as well as " for'the aesthetic value to the-plant, aince- the-proposed Highway 202 expansion will be very close to the dump area.
n. xEctroffiaaiTioss
For purposes of simplicity these recommendations are being split into two categories: (1) immediate changes in operations, and (2) long range changes.

1. Ellr.ln.-tcc P.C.F, Drslnacc fron Present Dunn Site
To nccomplish this it Is rccowmirrided that extensive changes br made in chc present dump 'area. The old drums lying on eh* bank* of the dump should be moved to the bottom of the hole. .Sufficient dirt should be hauled in to provide at leant 2 ft. of cover over

ehese drums and is should be compacted In such a vay Chae it will provide a good footing for establishing individual crlls uithln the larger bole which ecn be operated as a land-fill. It is recotmnended that this dirt be obtained from the vicinity o the present dump and be excavated in r manner to provide a trench fir future land-fill operacion.
2. Provide Security around Dnmrint Site
A fence with the proper markings should be provided around the area presently being ueed. The attached drawing show* the area which should be fenced.
3. Repair Incinerator
n The teepee incinerator located at the dump thou Id be repaired and put into operation. The regular operation of this unit will decrease the volume of material which must be placed into the
land-fill. State of Alabama law also states Chat open burning
of wastes he halted hy September 12, 1971. This unit should be
repaired to ehat ft is operable and operated as per the recom
mendations of the manufacturer.
.
'
A. Provide Periodic Cover of the Waste
The waste material In the dump should be covered on a regular
schedule. A minimum of once per week is recommended. Tlie waste
material should be covered in accordance with good operating
procedures. The periodic covering of waste and dividing the
remainder of the hole into cells will allow drainage of the dump
site and eliminate the large lakes which arc presently a problem.
Economics will probably necessitate contracting the Job of covering

Monsanto representative.
3. Develop a Duoo Management Svatem
The entire damp and solid waste disposal system should be made a
responsibility for one person and this person should have Che re
sources with which to control the operation. There should be an
operating manual procedure developed for the dump operation. This
nanus 1 should Include such topics as the proper methods for pre
paring waste material, a definite schedule for enllectlng che wastes,
as well as the development of sn Inventory system for the waste and
Che development of a plot plan so that accurate records can be kept
on what and where these wastes are burled.
The above mentioned things are suggested only as a guideline for the develop* went of ehe system and many details have been omitted which should he in*
eluded In the operating Instructions.

Lonc Rnnpc Operations
Preparing for a land-fill operation should begin nov when obtaining the dire for cliaiinycliig the immediate problem with the dump site. This dirt should be raved from the mountain around the dump slLr and it should be moved in such a manner chnc preparation of a trench la begun.
1. I-nd-~ill Oneration
.
A land-fill operation is an orderly manner for disposing of reltd waste material in such a way that it does not create a threat to health, a public nuisance or pose any wacrr pollution problems. Safeturrds should siro be taken to make certain that underground water is not contaminated, the material should be covered on c regular basis to a minimum of 1!" and material should not be placed closer than 24" below ground level. The land-fill should be seeded with grass and trees after filling so that erosion will not uncover the material which has been burled.
The Tesk Farce recommendations for future land-fill operations are as follows:
a) Dig a trench (along the contour of the mounts in) of sufficient size to handle the plant's solid waste for a period of one year minimum (eat. 14,000 yds. per year baaed on 1970 dram usage). Thi* trench should be sloped such that it is dtained st one end. Width should be such that equipment will have sufficient space to maneuver in it (i.e., 8-IQ' widt). The depth should be from 8-10* so that sc least 6' can be used after periodic covering and allowing for 2' of top cover.
b) Covering of material should be accomplished a minimum of once . per week.
c) Waste should be segregated and the paper, wood, fiber yaks,
etc. homed. Only still boctoms end ncn-bvmable material
should be buried.
,
d) Decontaminated drums and scaled drums of sample boctles from the Psrathion process, aa veil as drcontamincCrd equipment, could also be buried with the ocher plant wastes, thus eliminating
the seed for a separate toxic dump.
p) Run-off water from the trenches should be sampled s minimum of once per week (more often in rainy weather) to make certain that no material is being lost from the fill.
f) The person responsible for the land-fill operation should in spect this area regularly to make certain That the area is being well kept.
DSW 013824
ADAD21-003771 HARTOLDMON0033727
g) After die trench has been filled with waste it should be covered, compacted and planted with grass and trees to prevenc erosion as well as Improve the appearance oi the area.
h) establish system of test wells for monitoring of ground water for contamination.
2. Seeur 1 tv
The original fence should be extended Co encompass sufficient new area ac any time which It is required. In ocher words, the active part of the dump should always be inside a fenced and secure area. tiarkers should be provided on used up trenches so that this location can be easily determined.
3. Alternate Methods of IMsoosal
Alternate methods of disposing of ctill bottoms end other plant wastes should be evaluated, aince the method of burying in a drum ia quite expensive as well as space consuming in the Land fill. (In 1970, approximately $38,000 was apenc for drums.) The task force.recsssscads that ocher methods certainly be looked ac for the future (i-*., bulk, hauling, pumping, improved yield, new product development) .
lit. COSTS
These costa are based on estimates of Che 1970 waste volume.

My office has made an investigation of Snow Creek in the
Anniston, Alabama area near the location of Monsanto's
Anniston Chemical Plant.
.
invest > ^ <3. L. VJ.A. O location indicate the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) in the creek sediments outside Monsanto's site in excess of 400 ppm (parts per million). These figures are well in excess of EPA standards of 5Q ppm. -Monsanto produced PC3*s at its Anniston plant for a number of years up into the 1970's.
In view of the high concentrations of PC3'3 and the rather extended areas of creek bottoms contaminated by these substances I would request that representatives of your .company .meet. ...with, members., of .my staff, to. ..discuss . this .matter, as soon as passible.

Please contact us on what information you want.
We expect to meet with the company again shortly and you or your representatives are invited to attend. We will * inform you of the time of our next meeting and of further developments in this matter. Since this matter involves potential litigation, we would appreciate your office refer ring inquiries from Monsanto to this office and that your office do nothing which might jeopardize this potential 1 itigation.

SNOW CREEK TRIBUTARY SEDIMENT REMOVAL
Three sections of the drainage ditch ahd^Snow Creek are proposed for sediment removal. The sediment removal will consist of 4redging_and ^isjjosal .of .bottom sediments, which will also effectively deepen and improve the channel of the drainage ditch. This plan also proposes the installation of a culvert in Section 1 (described below).
Section 1: Length of drainage ditch from sampling site 1 to sampling site 2. Effectively, this dredging operation will encompass the length of the ditch from the emergence of the ditch from the culvert under the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church to the culvert under Route 202, 10th Street. This distance is approximately 500 feet.
Section 2: Stretch of ditch between the Southern Railway railroad
tracks and 11th Street, from where the ditch passes under the
tracks, to the confluence of the ditch and Snow Creek. This dis
tance is approximately. 1200"to 1500 feet.'
*. ' `
'.
Section 3: Section of Snow Creek from the confluence to a point approximately 100 feet downstream. ,
Local authorities in Anniston will be contacted to arrange for necessary easements, approvals, and access rights to properties which wili be affected by the proposed dredging operation.
The necessary contracts will be executed with an experienced contractor to carry out the proposed operations. All aspects of the operation will be funded by Monsanto Company, except for any analytical work done by regulatory agencies.
The dredging will be done by an experienced contractor. The specific heavy equipment and the dredging procedure will be specified to the contractor. The creek bottoms (sediments) will be dredged to a depth of approximately 12 inches or to bedrock and to a width defined by the width of the water in the ditch and creek. The dredging operation should proceed in a downstream direction to minimize recontamination by resedimentation of particulate material suspended during the dredging.
The dredged material is to be deposited on the creek bank for dewatering. (The
dewatering is anticipated to take two days at the most.) Following dewatering
the dredged material will be loaded and transported to a secured area at the
Monsanto Company landfill. The material will be stored at- this location only long
enough to sample the dewatered sediment and to perform analyses to determine the
average concentration of PCBs. (See below.)
.
DOCKET NO. 0000200
After the dredging operations in the three sections of the drainage" dlLLb'and------ -
Snow Creek have been completed, the ditch and creek bottoms will be sampled in
accordance with the sampling method developed for the 1985 program. Sairoling
sites will be selected to roughly correspond to sampling points 1, 2, and 3 of
the original protocol, with an additional point to be sampled in section 2 of
dredged ditch, between 11th Street and the railroad tracks. These samples will
(
ADAD21-003803 HART OLDMON0033759
Page 2
be shipped to the Environmental Sciences Center, Monsanto Company, St. Louis, MO., for expeditious analysis to verify the results of the dredging operation. This laboratory will be notified of the dredging schedule, to ensure that the analyses will be done as soon as possible. Results will be communicated by Monsanto Company to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management and thg Alabama State Attorney General's office. Split samples will be made available to either agency upon prior request. Verification that .the_residuaL.sediinents. .riv ^Ln-pthe ditch and: Snow Creek contain less than:.5:0vppm"PCBs"will signal,,successful completion of i- the dredging ^operation.
Following acceptance of the results of the dredging program, no further action will be taken at sections 2 and 3 of the dredged ditch. The dredging will have accomplished an effective channelization of the ditch and Snow Creek, which will improve the water carrying capacity of the waterways. However, in section 1, a concrete culvert will be installed to completely enclose the ditch from its emergence from under the church to 10th Street. The culvert will be covered with backfill and seeded. Completion of this operation is predicated upon receiving proper approval from the landowners along this section of the drainage ditch.
The dredged materials will be transported to a temporary storage site at the Monsanto Company landfill site. "The site will be' a level'section to eliminate risk of downhill migration of the stored material. The stored material will be covered with polyethylene sheeting or some other water-impervious material to prevent runoff, in the event of rain, and dispersal by wind. The covering will be secured with sandbags to prevent lift off caused by wind. The temporary storage site will be inspected daily to ensure the integrity of the protective cover.
The stored, dewatered dredgings will be sampled and analyzed by Monsanto Company
to determine final disposition of the material. The sampling will be carried out
in accordance with a scheme published in United States Environmental Protection
Agency document EPA-560/5-85-026, "Verification of PCS Spill Cleanup by Sampling
and Analysis." A 6 group compositing plan for 19 sample points, shown in
..
the attached figure, will be used to statistically sample the dredged materials.
The sampling plan is based on a hexagonal grid system, centered on the center
of the stored sediments. The nineteen samples will be composited as shown in
the figure. The six composited samples will be shipped to the Environmental
Sciences Center, Monsanto Company, St. Louis, MO., for analysis for PCBs.
Sampling will be done using 1" x 18" stainless steel core tubes, as described in the protocol for the 1985 sampling program. The labeling, storage, shipping, and quality assurance aspects of that protocol will also be employed during the sampling of the temporarily stored material.
It is felt that this sampling protocol for the stored material will give a valid assessment of the PCS concentration of the bulk of the material. The dredging, loading, and dumping operations preceding this sampling should thoroughly mix the dredged materials. The six composited samples ultimately analyzed will therefore represent the bulk of the material. ,'The analytical results for the six composited samples will be averaged to determine the
PCS concentration of the temporarily stored material.

The results of the analyses of the temporarily stored material will determine the ultimate disposition of the sediments. If the average PCB concentration of. the material is less than 50 ppm, the material will be moved to a cell at the Monsanto Company landfill at th Aim 1 St-Ljfi PlaSiC'
rlf.the material is determined to contain PCBs.at an average concentration of '
.^greater-than 50 ppm, the^material will be treated as 'PCB-contaminated waste'.
* Monsanto Company will arrange to have'^thV'material dispbsed'~of at an EPA-approved
PCB landfill in accordance with all applicable federal regulations. The landfill
site is anticipated to be the Emelle, Alabama landfill, operated by Chemical
Waste Management. However, Monsanto Company reserves the right to make other
arrangements with an alternate permitted disposal site, if necessary. Proper
certificates of disposal will be obtained to verify the ultimate disposal of the
sediments.
:
In either case, a few inches of soil from the temporary storage site will be included along with the dredged material, to ensure that no PCB contaminated soil remains at the temporary storage site.
Since the PCB concentrations of the sediments during the dredging and trans-
porting operations will be unknown, prudence dictates that"all equipment
'
involved in these operations be decontaminated in accordance with Section
761.79(b) of the federal PCB regulations. This decontamination involves
swabbing surfaces that have contacted the,sediments with a solvent in which
PCBs are soluble to at least 5% by weight. Kerosene is one such solvent.
The excess solvent and any mops, rags, etc. must be collected and disposed
of as PCB contaminated material.
.
The dredging and transporting operations should not involve personal contact with the sediments. Normal precautions should be exercised. If the sediments are contacted, the affected body parts should be washed thoroughly with soap and water. Affected clothing should be laundered.
Sampling the temporarily stored sediments will probably involve contact with the material, including climbing on the piled dredgings. Personnel involved in this sampling should wear protective gloves, protective clothing, and boots. Since this will be an open air procedure, respiratory protection will not be necessary. If the protective clothing is of the disposable type, it should be collected and disposed of as PCB-contaminated material in accordance with federal regulations. This disposal is precautionary, since PCB contamination of the clothing is unlikely.
An MSDS for polychlorinated biphenyls is attached for information on occupational control procedures.

Dear Attorney General Siegelman:
Thank-you very much for taking time from your busy schedule to address the Alabama Chemical Association and have dinner with us on March 23rd. It was also a pleasure to see you again March 29th at dinner with our government relations group from Monsanto. I applaud your efforts to attack the drug problem in the state and wish you continued success. You made a statement at the Alabama Chemical Association with regard to working with the Attorney General's office to resolve environmental issues that struck a responsive note.
In January 1985, the Attorney General brought to Monsanto's attention a matter of polychlorinated biphenyls ;;{PCB's)., in the^sediments v of: Snow Creek downstream of Monsanto * s Anniston;' `Alabama site. In February 1985, representatives of Monsanto met with members of the Attorney General's staff to discuss the findings and plan a course of action.
Additional discussions were held in March and April with both the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) and the Attorney General's office to develop a mutually acceptable sampling program to define the situation. In May 1985, a sampling protocol was proposed and on June 18, 1985, the " sediments were sampled by representatives of Monsanto, Attorney
DOCKET m. 0000299
On October 2, 1985, a meeting was held with representatives of
the Attorney General's staff, ADEM, and .EPA Region IV to review the results of the sediment sampling and plan the next course of action. The EPA stated that they would defer anv action to ADEM. It was agreed that Monsanto wo.uld submit a proposed clean-up plan

This proposed Snow Creek Sediment Removal Protocol was discussed with and transmitted to representatives of the Attorney General's office and ADEM on May 27, 1986. The representative of the Attorney General said he would push to get approval of the plan, from EPA and others, and would be back to Monsanto withina week with any necessary changes. tAs.,yet, this matter is;stillopen.
Monsanto believes that the proposal represents the best
resolution of original concerns and Monsanto would like to
complete the program in 1988. We are available, at your
convenience, to meet with your representative and representatives
from ADEM to discuss this matter further.

PREPAREDNESS STATEMENT Anniston Plant PCS Incident
We have been advised that the Soil Conservation Service : has found relatively low levels (low ppm range) of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in 8 of 22 core sastples of sediment taken from Choccolocco Creek in the Anniston area. The sampling was done as part of advance prepartion for dredging the creek. The creek
River.
Monsanto's Anniston plant formerly manufactured PCBs
ceasing production there in 1971. Plant officials are assisting
the Alabama Department of Environmental Management and the
Conservation Service in developing a sound technical plan designed
to enable the dredging in an environmentally acceptable manner.
PCBs are oily liquids with the consistency of mineral
oil. They were and still are used mostly as insulation fluids
in closed-system electrical equipment. Prior to 1970, when it

Mr. Darrell A. Baker, Public Health Engineer Division of Solid Waste and Vector Control Environmental Health Administration State of Alabama Department. of Public Health Montgomery, Alabama 36130
Dear Mr. Baker:
FEB II 3980 & VECTOR C'wiNiHOL
In your letter of January 31, 1980, you pointed out two concerns which require attention. The first of these was a wash in the north end of the parathion - contaminated waste disposal area. This wash was repaired as soon as possible after it was de tected which is our normal operating procedure.
The second concern involved the drums of material. As dis
cussed when you were here, these drums contain mixed polyphenyls,
a high melting solid. This material was brought from our
Newport, England, plant during severe raw material shortages.
Changes in the market demand left us with an excess, therefore,
all was not consumed as a raw material. During the past weeks
we have been evaluating various methods of disposal. As dis
cussed when you were here, we have -contacted-Cherpioa 1 Waste ..........
Management about accepting this material, and they have agreed
to dispose of it if we choose tt-iq
The second al
ternate under consideration is to utilize this material for
its fuel value. The evaluation of this alternate is not com
plete at this time. It is now estimated that completion of
this evaluation and final disposition will require approximately
three months.
The polyphenyls are insoluble in water and will not fall under the category of hazardous waste.
During our meeting on January 10. it was my understanding that we would receive written approval of the sites chosen for place ment of the monitoring wells. As of this date, we have not heard from Mr. Moser or you on this matter.

The biological detoxification testing of chemically contaminated process items has been completed. The purpose of these detoxification tests was to:
a) verify the feasibility of biological detoxification;
b) confirm the effectiveness upon different process chemicals and items; and
c) establish the ultimate contact time to achieve desired reduction in contaminant concentration.
Two separate controlled tests were conducted according to the procedures as described below.
Test 1
Test 1 involved the controlled immersion of intentionally contaminated carbon steel pipe. Two pieces of used, rusted, carbon steel pipe, one-quarter of an inch in diameter by two feet long were intentionally contaminated. One test piece was soaked' in a 1% solution of ethyl parathion for two (2) hours. The second test piece was soaked in a solution of p-nitrophencl (PNP), also for two (2) hours. The test pieces were then removed from their respective solutions and left to air dry for 24 hours.
The next step involved removing a portion of each test piece and analyzing for ethyl parathion and PNP respectively. Following the determination of original contaminant concentration, the test pieces were immersed in the wastewater treatment aeration basins. There, they were subjected to seven (7) days of direct contact with the biological activity going on in the basin. After this seven (7) day immersion, the test piece was removed from the basin, washed off, and air dried.
Another section of analyzed for ethyl respectively. The following page.

Test 2 involved the controlled immersion of actual items dismantled from the manufacturing facility. Miscellaneous piping, grating, valves and minor equipment, which had been removed from the parathion manufacturing area, were placed into the detoxification basket. Two items were selected as control samples from the total amount of material to the detoxified. The test items were a piece of floor grating and a length of one-half
(h) inch diameter pipe. A section of each control piece was
removed and analyzed for initial total organophosphate contamination.
All items in the basket including the test samples were then immersed in the aeration basin. Following seven (7) days of immersion, the basket of items was removed, all parts were washed and allowed to air dry. A section of each of the control items,
grating and h pipe, were analyzed for concentration of total
organcphosphates. The results of this test are:

1.10 SCOPE
This training workbook covers the management of hazardous waste materials generated at Mon santo's Anniston Plant.
1.20 LEARNER OBJECTIVES
By studying this workbook, the learner will achieve the following objectives:
1. State the definition of hazardous waste.
2. List what hazardous wastes are managed at the Anniston Plant.
3. Characterize the hazardous wastes.
4. Acquire a working knowledge of how hazar dous wastes are managed.
Identify the equipment and controls us managing hazardous waste materials.
6. Recognize the availability of reference material related to managing hazardous waste materials.
7. Become familiar with plant personnel responsible for proper hazardous waste management.

IMpll/84
9. Incorporate the safety considerations of managing hazardous waste materials.
10. Draw a flow diagram tracing the manage ment of a particular waste from the point of origin to the disposal site.
1.30 THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OBJECTIVES
As in all other duties performed at the Anniston Plant, safety is the first objective. Therefore, Ob jective No.9 should be foremost when managing hazardous wastes. Objective No. 10 is a way to show the proper management a given waste material should receive from the time it is recognized as a hazardous waste until it is suitably disposed of. Objectives 1 through 8 are supportive of each other since each enables us to better understand and carry out the task of managing hazardous waste materials.
1.40 SUPPORTING MATERIALS

2.00 ABOUT HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
In the remaining portions of this workbook, we u/Mj jearn what hazardous wasto roanaQsmsnt Is; how hazardous waste management is performed at Monsanto-Anniston; and why hazardous wastes must be managed in a certain way.
2.10 WHAT IS HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT?
To help answer this question, let's think for a mo ment about the type of plant in which we work. We know that, during daily operations, a variety of raw materials are used to produce various in termediates and commercial products (finished goods). Many of these raw materials, in termediates and finished goods are classified as "hazardous materials". Let's think a minute and try to answer these questions:
1. How do we manage or handle these hazar
dous materials?
.
2. What are the procedures, steps or methods used?
Some of the way we manage these materials in clude: storage; transportation; processing; and packaging. The procedures used to accomplish these various tasks have been well documented such that raw materials are converted to finish ed commercial products in a safe, straight forward and cost effective manner. The same should hold true for the proper management of
Monsanto Anniston
AP S02
Hazardous Waste Management
hazardous wastes. Hazardous waste manage ment means: ``the systematic control of the col lection, source separation, storage, transporta tion, processing, treatment, recovery and disposal of hazardous waste". Therefore, the management of our waste should receive the same degree of attention as our management of any other hazardous material.
2.20 WHY IS PROPER HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT?
Hazardous waste management is important for a number of reasons. The two most important reasons are as follows. First and foremost "it is the law". The law was passed to provide stan dards (regulations) for which all facilities generating wastes must meet. These regulation are to protect human health and the environment from the improper management of hazardous wastes. Improper management of hazardous waste materials has already accounted for major environmental upsets in other areas of the nation.
lued adherance to thr legal requirements will minimize the potential for additional adverse impacts. Secondly, Monsanto has a corporate ob jective to, "conduct our business at all times in an ethical, lawful and socially responsible man ner". We, as a company, have the obligation of protecting ourselves and the community against any ill effects stemming from our operation. Pro per hazardous waste management is only one of the ways in which this can be accomplished.
The importance of hazardous waste manage ment, as it applies to the Anniston Plant, can on ly begin to be fully expressed in a training workbook of this type. To "put it in a nutshell'', the future continuing operation of this plant may very well depend upon our ability to develop and maintain a program encompassing the proper management of hazardous waste materials.
2.30 WHAT IS A HAZARDOUS WASTE?
This section is not intended to make you all ex perts in what constitutes a hazardous waste. It is intended to show that all wastes generated at the Anniston Plant must be fully investigated to determine whether or not it is a hazardous waste.
The definition of a hazardous waste is very com plex. Therefore, the following is a attempt to pro vide a simplistic version of this very complex definition. Essentially, "a hazardous waste is a

A waste exhibits the characteristic of reactivity if a
representative sample has any of the following
light properties. First, it is normally unstable and

detonating. Second, it reacts violently with water.
Third, it forms potentially explosive mixtures with
water. Fourth, when mixed with water, it generates
toxic gases, vapors or fumes in a quantity suf
ficient to present a danger to human health or the
environment. Fifth, it is a cyanide or sulfide
bearing waste which, when exposed to pH con
ditions between 2 and 12.5, can generate toxic
gases, vapors or fumes in a quantity sufficient to
present a danger to human health or the en
vironment. Sixth, it is capable of detonation or ex
plosive reaction if it is subjected to a strong
initiating source or if heated under confinement.
Seventh, it is readily capable of detonation or ex
plosive decomposition or reaction at standard
temperature and pressure. Eighth, it is a forbidden
explosive as defined in49CFR 173.51, or a Class A
explosive as defined in 49 CFR 173.53 or a Class B
explosive as defined in 43 CFR 173.38. Examples
of plant materials that could be classified as
hazardous wastes because they exhibit the
characteristic of reactivity include: P2S5
extract is analyzed to determine whether it possesses any of the toxic contaminants iden tified in the National Interim Primary Drinking Water Standards (NIPDWS). If the extract contains any of the contaminants in concentrations 100 times greater than those specified in the NIPDWS, the waste is considered to be hazardous.

In addition to the four (4) characteristics used to determine if a particular waste is hazardous, the EPA has developed lists of solid wastes that they have classified as hazardous. The listing of these wastes is based on one or more of the aforemen tioned characteristics.
Nonspecific Sources
The listing of solid wastes, which are hazardous wastes, from nonspecific sources is a generic listing with reference to no particular type of in dustry. One example of a listed hazardous waste applicable to the Anniston Plant is "The follow ing spent non-halogenated solvents: Xylene, Acetone, Ethyl Acetate, Ethyl Benzene, Ethyl Ether, methyl Isobutyl Ketone, N-butyl Alcohol, Cyclohexanone and Methanol; and the still bot toms from the recovery of these solvents." Therefore, the still bottoms from the acetone recovery column, at the PNP department, is a listed hazardous waste.
Specific Source
Thg listing of solid wastes which are hazardous wastes from specific sources is a listing of par ticular wastes from specific industries. Current ly, the Anniston Plant has no specific sources on
the list.
Discarded Commercial Chemical Products, Off-Specification Species, Container Residues And Spill Cleanup Debris
The EPA developed the Extraction Procedure (EP) Toxicity test as a means of simulating the tendancy of the constituents of a waste to migrate out and become available to contaminate the en vironment under poor management conditions. Under this procedure, constituents are extracted from the waste by the EPA methodology and the

3.00 ON-SITE METHODS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
Three (3) specific methods for managing hazar dous wastes are in use here at the Anniston Plant. The methods include treatment, storage and disposal. To get a full understanding of the management steps involved, take Fig. 1, "Waste Management Flow Diagram", and lay it alongside the text. Looking at the diagram, we can see that the proper management of waste material begins with the "generator". Through the everyday ac tivities of operating and maintaining our plant facilities, we are all potential generators of waste. For whatever reason (spills, maintenance, opera tions, general housekeeping), when a material becomes a waste, the generator is responsible for initiating the proper steps for disposal.
Looking at the flow diagram, we can see that the generator has five (5) options available for waste disposal. The first step the generator should take is to determine if the waste material is hazardous
fi(OcaOaP .U.C....O....k...l.l.a.../.l..I Z^_.O' A\). Ti hinito* ucn^iiiiii iquo 11 hi ianso ai i cau y
been made on most of our waste materials, (see list in Section 2.60). If the material is determined to be non-hazardous, the generator would simp ly place the material in one of the dumpsters (skiffs) designated for non-hazardous waste.
If the waste material is determined to be hazar dous and of a non-routine (first time) nature, the generator shall contact the plant environmental control department. The environmental control engineerwill assist the generatorin selection of the proper management route the waste material
will follow. An example of a non-routine waste is the spill cleanup of a raw material.
Routinely generated hazardous waste materials that are non-liquid are normally disposed of onside. The generator has two options available for managing these materials. The wastes (con taminated trash, trench cleanings, sample bot tles, filter media, etc.) are either placed into departmental dumpsters (skiffs) or into individual drums. The preferred routing is into dumpsters. Unuseable empty PNP fiber drums are disposed of on-site as individual containers. These fiber drums should not be used to contain any type of waste. They must be disposed of as empty containers.
Our routinely yenerated liquid hazardous wastes, which are amenable to biological waste water treatment, are treated in our industrial waste water treatment plant. Wastes disposed of by this method include: still bottoms from the Acetone Recovery Column; HCI Scrubber Water; and Mixer-Settler Overflow. Normal process waste water including washdowns, cleanups and cer tain other de minimus losses are also treated on site. However, normal process waste waters are not considered hazardous wastes.
Finally, any liquid wastes which are not biologically degradable (Benzene, Cumene, etc.) which nr'tor>r'aii'' ^-qhIH ho nonoratori must be disposed of off-site. Also included in the off-site disposal routing would be large accumulations of empty PNP fiber drums or any other abnormally large accumulation of a specific item. Waste oils which are not hazardous wastes are included in this off-site disposal route.
3.10 TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
The waste treatment facility at our plant is second to none in the pesticide industry. The facilities ability to biologically treat liquid waste streams with extraordinary efficiency allows us a con siderable amount of flexibility In the disposal of certain organic materials. The majority of the treatment takes place within the aeration basins. These basins are concrete tanks either above ground or partially buried and are therefore ex empt from hazardous waste regulation.
However, the first step in the treatment train oc-

ticular source of waste". The generator's production department name and number shall be entered in this space.
The "date of generation" shall reflect the date the container becomes filled. Hazardous waste should be placed into containers as soon after generation as possible. However, its date of generation does not commence until the con tainer is full.
The "description and class of waste" should con
tain a brief description of the materials and the
EPA hazardous waste identification number(s)
which best describes the potential hazards. As
an example:
'
Trash
contaminated
with
organophosphates from the production of
parathion-EPA #P089"(See list of wastes
and EPA numbers in Section 2.60)
The "total quantity of waste" should be a realistic, reasonable estimate of the weight of all the waste materials in a particular container.
The "number and type of containers" states how many and what type of containers are being us ed to contain the waste material.
The "date of packaging" is the date the con
tainers) is (are) ready for pickup and disposal. It may also be the date the manifest form is com pleted by the generator.
Under"comments on particular methods of treat ment, storage or disposal of waste, if any", the generator should note the location of the waste materials to be picked up and any other ap propriate comments.
Underthe heading"quantity and type of waste for disposal", the generator should list the materials and the approximate weight of each, if there are several different waste materials being picked up.
Under "particular location within a disposal site", the area within the landfill to which the waste material goes should be stated here. At present, three (3) cells are being used in the landfill (See

5E Contaminated sulfur
The final generator responsibility is for the per son filling out the waste disposal record to sign beside "Generator's Signature". After signing the record, the generator contacts material handling to schedule the collection and disposal of the waste described on the record. The response from material handling may not be immediate, however, under normal circumstances, pickup will be made within 24 hours of receipt of call.
The material handler will go to the generator to obtain the disposal record. They will not transport wastes unless the record is completely filled out. After obtaining the disposal record, the material handler will pickup the waste container(s) and carry the waste to the landfill. The material handier shall sign the disposal record next to "signature of person who deposited waste in landfill" and enter "date of disposal" to reflect the date the waste materials were placed in the designated landfill cell. Finally, the material handler will forward the completed waste disposal record to the plant environmental con trol department for required recording and filing.
3.40 CONTAINERS AND LABELING
The type of container and the amount of labeling required will depend upon the ultimate point of disposal. Wastes being disposed of on-site may be placed in containers which do not necessari-iy meet DOT requirements. Labeling for on-site disposal does not necessarily have to meet DOT requirements either, however, all off-site disposal requires adherence to the DOT regulations.
On-Site Disposal
The recommended container for hazardous wastes being disposed of on-site are dumpsters (skiffs). The use of dumpsters is the most cost effective and easiest to manage. Each production department has at least one (1) skiff suitable for hazardous waste, conveniently located to the nor ms! points of wssts Qsnsrstion. Dumpstor losds

3.50 INSPECTIONS AND RECORDS
We learned earlier that proper hazardous waste management means "the systematic control of the collection, source separation, storage, transportation, processing, treatment, recovery and disposal of hazardous waste". As with any control system, whether for waste management or production, there are procedures to be follow ed. These procedures require the inspections of the processes and the recording of our observa tions. In hazardous waste management, we have "procedures to prevent hazards" which require us to make routine inspections of various por tions of the process and record ourobservations. The following details the inspections and recor dkeeping required to verify the proper operation

neutralization basin used to partially neutralize corrosive (low pH) waste streams prior to biological treatment. The impoundment is filled with coarse limestone and is built below grade, in as much as this surface impoundment is an in tegral part of the waste water treatment system, the daily inspection of this facility is the respon sibility of the waste treatment plant operator.
The operator (inspector) will tour the surface im

rivulets, orslides on the side slopes and look for
unevenness along the side slopes and edges.
Adequate quantity of limestone in the basin will
also be assessed. The neutralization sump will be
inspected for signs of cracks, flaking, chipping
and general deterioration of the structure and ap-
purtament facilities. The neutralization sump

5.00 CONTROLLING HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
To say that we have actual devices or instruments for controlling hazardous waste management sounds somewhat misleading. It is true that the waste treatment facilities and material handling equipment have specific controls. The point to be made concerning hazardous waste manage ment is that the majority of the control lies with each individual.
Tying the management procedures directly to good safety and housekeeping practices more clearly illustrates where the real control is. Incor porating proper hazardous waste management in to the overall attitude of safety and housekeep ing suggests that using good common sense, along with sound safety procedures, can do much toward making the hazardous waste management program an equal part of the job.
5.10 wha i is Controlled?
Logically, the first concern should be with the amount of hazardous waste generated. This is not to say that we can totally stop the generation of hazardous wastes. We can, however, take steps to minimize the amount. One problem area is placing non-hazardous waste into containers already con taminated with hazardous materials. The use of PNP fiber drums is a good example. If someone
tainer that previously or currently holds hazardous material, the entire contents become hazardous
waste and must be handled accordingly. When
replacing lines, we can make efforts to clear them
out before dismantling. This helps to prevent
drainage or accumulation of materials that will
then have to be disposed of. Again, we should
note that washing some waste materials to the
waste treatment facility is a viable means of
disposal and gives us some control over the
amount of material that has to be disposed of by
other methods.
'
Another area where we have some control is in determining the cost of hazardous waste management. The main point to be made is the use of dumpsters (skiffs) versus the use of drums. Drums are expensive to use, hold smaller amounts of material and are more difficult to manage. Remember, we've already stated that our
landfill space is limited.
5.20 CONTROL SUMMARY
We have established that controlling the amount of hazardous waste generated plays an important role in the overall program. By controlling the amount generated, we also limit the cost. By us ing the waste treatment facility, we reduce costs and conserve vitai iandfiii space. Developing a positive attitude toward hazardous waste management can do much to make the program successful. To state it plainly, we must properly control hazardous waste material if we are to en
sure continued operation of our plant.

7.00 SAFETY
The safety considerations to be taken into ac
count when managing hazardous waste materials
are not very different from everyday practices per
taining to materials used in the production pro
cess. Handling instructions have been written for
each chemical substance used in the plant. These
provide personnel with information on the safest
methods to use when handling materials. Using
full face cannister masks when handling in
termediate is a common preventive measure to

ty of certain materials is known to most, if not all,
personnel dealing with them. The fact that
acetone, methanol, xylene, and other liquids are
highly flammable demands that they be isolated
from certain pieces of equipment and areas of the
plant. Through our awareness of the
characteristics of hazardous waste materials, we
should be able to see that, to safely handle them,
we need to apply the universal rule-take time to
think "safety first".
Anytime non-routine or emergency conditions exist, we know that, in order to prevent making the situation worse, we must consider the materials involved. The best handling method may not be readily evident, but by contacting key personnel we can gain a great deal of input toward finding that method. Keep in mind that "hazardous" is the key word. If a material is classified as hazardous, there is some characteristic of that material that must be considered before attempting to handle it.
