El Paso Plant L. W. Castor, Unit Manager ASARCO July 31,2000 Chuck Burton WestVac Services 6004 N. Mesa El Paso TX 79912 Dear Mr. Burton, On approximately July 12'11, 2000 WestVac employees Ben Reyes and Celso Garcia were involved in tearing down a pipe rack located at the old Sulfur Pilot plant. While in the process of tearing down the rack, insulation was found, removed, and bagged. On July 20'11, a sample was collected and sent in for asbestos analysis. The material was found to contain 25-30% chrysotile. The pipe rack was not known to contain ACM (Asbestos Containing Material). The El Paso Plant strives to meet OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 asbestos regulations. Please review the standard to ensure compliance with the regulation and that employee training requirements are being met. Sincerely, 1 Safety & Health Director CC: G. Parham ASARCO Incorporated P.O. Box 1111 El Paso, Texas 79999 (915) 541-1800 Fax (915) 541-1866 ASARCO ELP 0015203
