January 12, 1990 BRUCE, Reservations have been^/made for you at the Orlando Marriott for January 22 and 23. Your confirmation number is 8JWW87HQ. I gave them your credit card number so you are now confirmed for late arrival. I also checked with Continental to see if they flew to Orlando. They do have non-stop flights from Houston to Orlando. I DID NOT make your flight reservations because I was under the impression that you may have had some kind of coupon. Let me know if I can help.

As previously notified, this meeting will be at the: Orlando Marriott Hotel 8001 International Drive Orlando, Florida 32819 (407) 351-2420 TWO IMPORTANT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR CALENDAR. 1. JANUARY 22 - FO 24 Issue A meeting of the FO 24 Task Force has now been scheduled for Monday, Janaury 22, 1990 beginning at 2 p.m. This meeting will also be at the Orlando Marriott. Comments submitted to EPA by member companies on the Land Disposal Restrictions for Third Scheduled Wastes Proposed Rule note substantial problems exist for those of you that classify any wastes as FO 24. The Task Force will discuss the issue and develop a strategy on how to proceed with any joint industry activity, such as a meeting with EPA. If this issue is important to your company, please attend or invite the appropriate person to represent your company at this meeting. Please let me know if you will be attending or sending a representative. 2. JANUARY 24 - Meeting with Contractors Doing Study for Canadian Ministry of the Environment At the suggestion of Jim Lewis and W.C. Holbrook of BFGoodrich, and with the agreement of Committee Chairman Frank Borrelli, a special meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, January 24, beginning at 9 am and running through noon. Many of you have previously been contacted directly by contractors (O'Connor Associates Environmental and Radian) who are carrying out reviews of comparative VCM Emission levels and emission control technologies for vinyl companies that a seeking construction project approval. The purpose of the review is to develop a "Level 1" analysis of "Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) and "Best Available Control Technology"(BACT). They have been seeking information on: CTL016122 Wayne Interchange Plaza II 155 Route 46 West Wayne, NJ 07470 (201) 890-92yy y Fax ft (201) 890-7029 VCM emission and ambient air standards in various government jurisdictions (including the U.S.) VCM emission levels (from PVC plants) that represent existing plant performance general control or process strategies/methods that are used to achieve plant emission levels Ambient air (or fenceline) VCM levels. W.C. Holbrook and Jim Lewis have asked that you come to this meeting prepared to discuss the above items in detail. Specifically, they have asked that you bring with you two copies of your existing permits to share with the company representatives/ contractors. If you have any questions about this part of the program, please call either W.C. Holbrook at 216/447/7925 or Jim Lewis at 216/447-7979. I will, of course, also be happy to answer any questions. Please let me know if you will be attending this meeting. Meredith N.

Govjsrs, Laboratory of Environmental and Toxicological Chemistry, University of Amsterdam, Nieuwe Achtexgracht 155, 1018 MV Amsterdam, The Netherlands. in the last few years extensive sediment and waste water monitoring studies in the river Rhine area' have been performed with special attention to industrial oouraea cf PCDDs and PCDPs. From these studies it was concluded tilat hitherto not recognized industrial sources contributed ii^jnificantly to the pollution of the Dutch river delta with theii e compounds. The PCDD/PCDF isomer patterns and spatial vaaviations of their relative levels indicated vinylchloride momdraa r (VCM) production as a principal source for PCDDs and especiall]3y PCDFs. Analysis of process and waste water, sampled at varidut points in the VCM production process confirmed these indicatione. The crucial st p was found to be the oxychlorination of ethylene to 1,2dichlorocthano catalysed by alumina-CuCla at 50 - 300"C. CTL016126 f I Adresaee F.a.o. BFGOODRICH / Cl v land 0012164476172 :1 i Mr. I*e M. PUCKETT . Director of Licensing :& International Manufacturing Support | At the laboratory the oxychlorination process j and the effect of various reaction parameters (catalyst content and pretreatment, temperature and input gas flows) on the formation of PCDDs, PCDFs and some precursors (polychlorinated biphenyls, -benzenes and -styrenes) was studied. It was established that transition metal halogenidea play a key role in the high temperature formation of the Ijalogenated DDs and DFs and an attempt is made to elucidate thie major formation mechanisms. unquote i Please let us know your comments a.s.a.p.
