RE: U.S. EPA EPCRA Compliance Inspection, Docket UVII-92-875E Wolverine Technologies. Grinnell. Iowa
Dear Messrs. Patel & Hooper:
The reas'on I am writing to both of you is that following my last conversation with Mr. Patel on April 5, 1993, I then received a telephone call from Hooper, who advised that he was henceforth handling the captioned matter for Iowa Department of Labor.
Irrespective to who is handling what, CertainTeed Corporation has forwarded all information you have requested, and no doubt, a little information which you likely didn't want, all to resolve the open issue of our compliance with the EPCRA, and influencing the aforementioned, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200 rules. CertainTeed has clearly and unequivocally demonstrated that the PVC Resin is NON-HAZARDOUS.
In response to Mr. Patel's specific request, our Dr. Lawrence J. Mellon, Corporate Vice President for Health, Safety & Environmental Affairs has forwarded a letter directly to him which documents that CertainTeed's MSDS for PVC Resin was bas d on Federal rules, and therefore is not a hazardous substance under prior or current D.O.L. rules.
As a result, I ask that you kindly rule in writing regarding the captioned matter. As indicated before, E.P.A. is anxious to close this matter, as are we.
Manager, Safety & Environmental Affairs Vinyl Building Products Group, & Roofing Products Group
