DOW CHEMICAL U.S.A October 3, 1986 TEXAS OPERATIONS FREEPORT, TEXAS 77541 Lee Braden, A-1107 John Richers, APB "Red" Ahlich, OC Unit IV Lab cc: John Barton, B-101 Bernie Allen, OCES-N Sheryl Davis, OCES-S DEMOLITION MATERIAL There seems to be some confusion regarding the Texas Operations policy on demolition material leaving the plant. The Texas Environmental Standard for demolition material, which is attached, states, "No demolition material may leave Texas Operations without clearance from the Material Recovery or Environmental Services departments". For material not cleared through Material Recovery, such as concrete rubble, please check with Environmental Services, either Sheryl or myself, at 4391 or 2805, respectively. If you have any questions, please call me at 2805.
