Lindbergh Blvd. St. Louis, Missouri 63166 Gentlemen: Reference is made to an inquiry submitted on your behalf by the Moran Towing & Transporation Co,, Inc., dated 11 June 1969, requesting information concerning the disposal of 1000 55-gallon drums of chlorinated diphenol from your plant located at Hudson Falls, New York, and to your letter of 10 October 19&9 advising that other arrangements have been made to dispose of this material. Since disposal at sea of the chemical wastes as described in the letter of inquiry was not employed, this office is interested in re ceiving information as to the method presently utilized by your firm for disposal of this waste material. Our interest in this matter stems from an overall concern as to the effects such waste disposal would have on navigation, water quality, marine life, especially fisheries, public health and recreation. It is requested that this information be furnished as soon as practi cable. Your assistance and cooperation in this matter will be appreciated. . Sincerely yours. DSW 338340 STLCOPCB4082173
