CTL032753 June, 1992 VINYL CHLORIDE MONOMER an Executive Review for VI/Uni-Bell by Dave Eckstein, Project Lead Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) detects VCM in water in Doniphan Rural Water District #5 (D#5), up to 8 ppb. July, 1992 KDHE issues a public notice of VCM contamination to D#5 users advising alternate drinking water source. March 1993 EPA notifies Uni-Bell of extraordinary levels of RVCM in 23 year old PVC pipe from D#5 (+300 ppm). EPA requests Industry's assistance in remediation technology. / C TLO 3 2*7 54 May, 1993 VI/Uni-Bell agree to co-fund not-to-exceed $25k project to source the VCM. July, 1993 NSF presents data summary confirming: - 23 year old PVC pipe as the VCM source - No other source of VCM - Post VCM certified pipes are not contributing VCM July, 1993 PW Pipe files TOSCA 8(e) / CTL032755 August, 1993 Industry team meets With EPA and agrees to - Remediation Alternatives report - Predictive computer model (Berens) - Develop a protocol for statistically correct sampling program to scope the incidence in rural water systems. 4 Sept., 1993 Project Lead requests joint VI/Uni-Bell B of D level meeting.

If not, re-evaluation will be required at that time. / CTL032758 PROJECT LEAD * This item must be of the highest priority for VI, Uni-Bell and NSF. * This is an issue concerning VCM, therefore, VI should review their desire to accept project lead. * Because of the priority for Uni-Bell, we would retain the lead if VI desires. CTL032759 RESPONSE PREPAREDNESS * It is time to assume that word is out. 4 * Prepare a summary of work to date. * Prepare information on our current product. m/ C T L 0 3 2 '7 NON-MEMBER READ-IN o vD * Eventually need& to occur.
