MALOW: 11 Q. Can you please tell the ladies and 12 gentlemen of the jury why it is that 13 Monsanto and Solutia have still not 14 cleaned up Snow Creek? 15 A. We're in the process of doing that work 16 now. 17 Q. And in fact back in 1967 Monsanto hired 18 some consultants, specifically 19 Dr. Denzel Ferguson of the University of 20 Mississippi, who told Monsanto over 21 thirty years ago to clean up Snow Creek; 22 isn't that correct? 23 A. I'm not aware of that. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Q. 7 A. 8 9 10 11 12 Q. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 A. 21 22 Q. 23 Page 7 [Requested portion of record read.] MR. KELLY: Object to form; calls for speculation, no foundation. (By Ms. Malow) You can answer. I'm not aware of the recommendation, first of all, so 1 can't hardly speculate on why you would conclude we're not doing something or should have done something. Well, assume with -- Well, actually we don't even need to assume it. Let me show you what was marked as Exhibit One to Mr. Smith's deposition yesterday -excuse me. It was marked as Exhibit Two to Mr. Smith's deposition yesterday, and ask you if you have ever seen Exhibit Two before? Excuse me just a minute. No. I'm sorry, 1 haven't. If you will go to page --1 believe it's 13 or 15. There's a recommendation Page 6 Page 8 1 Q. Have you ever seen the report that 1 section. I'm not sure. 1 don't have an 2 Dr. Ferguson issued to Monsanto pursuant 2 extra copy. 3 to the contract that you had with 3 A. It seems to be on page 15. There is 4 Monsanto back in 1967 where he makes 4 something towards the bottom entitled 5 that recommendation to clean up Snow 5 "recommendations." 6 Creek? 6 Q. Right. And does number two say, 7 A. No, 1 haven't. 7 "Clean-up Snow Creek"? 8 Q. Do you have any explanation for why it 8 A. It does say that. 9 is that over thirty years after that 9 Q. And that document, if you'll go back to 10 recommendation was made to Monsanto that 10 the front, is dated 1967; is that 11 that project is not completed? 11 correct? 12 A. No -- 12 A. There is a handwritten note on here that 13 MR. KELLY: Object to the form and 13 says 1967. 14 speculation; no foundation. 14 Q. If you'll go to --1 think it's the 15 THE REPORTER: I'm sorry. 1 15 second or third page -- it's signed by 16 didn't get your answer. 16 Dr. Ferguson, is it not? 17 THE WITNESS: 1 need to have the 17 A. I'm looking for a signature page, if you 18 question rephrased or the 18 will bear with me for a moment. 19 objection rephrased. 19 Q. Sure. 20 MS. MALOW: 1 think he said no, 1 20 A. It's not numbered, but there is a 21 haven't. Do you want to read 21 signature there, yes. 22 it back so we can get it one 22 Q. And does it look like that is in fact 23 more time? 23 what 1 stated; it is a contract between Felder, Jeffrey D.

As 1 recall -- and this is of course 3 understand it, kind of anecdotally from 3 more recent times so my recollection is 4 my colleagues, there are no off-site 4 better -- the soil was removed to a 5 PCBs, and we remediated the site to the 5 TOSCA permitted cell in Model Cities, 6 satisfaction of the State of New Jersey. 6 New York. 7 Q. Why was the site required to be 7 Q. Do you know how much contaminated soi 8 remediated? 8 was taken to that TOSCA permitted 9 A. There is a law in New Jersey that 9 facility? 10 requires remediation, which of course, 10 A. 1 don't recall any longer. We removed 11 has a broad meaning of terms, when one 11 three hot spots only. That was what the 12 shuts down a site, transfers ownership, 12 risk assessors advised, and that was 13 or a number of other defined 13 what the state agreed. And we capped 14 circumstances. 14 the remainder in place and placed 15 Q. Was this Kearny site shut down or 15 institutional controls to the 16 transferred? 16 satisfaction of the state DEPE. 17 A. The Kearny site was shut down and 17 Q. What type of cap was used for the 18 subsequently transferred. 18 sediment that remained in place? 19 Q. When was it shut down? 19 A. Asphalt. Did you say sediment? Because 20 A. Circa 19 -- Well, depends on your 20 it wasn't sediment. 21 definition of shut down, 1 suppose. The 21 Q. I'm sorry. Soil. Was it soil? 22 announcement was made in 1991. I'm 22 A. Yes, ma'am. 23 sorry. I'm not trying to be coy -- 23 Q. S, S. You know. Page 30 Page 32 1 Q. That's okay. 1 What institutional controls are in 2 A. -- but I'd like to be specific for your 2 place at that site in Kearny, New 3 benefit. Precisely when we stopped 3 Jersey? 4 manufacture, 1 don't recall, but 4 A. There are a number of them, and 1 don't 5 sometime within a year or two 5 recall all the specifics. There's quite 6 thereafter. 6 a lengthy list that we insisted upon, 7 Q. Can you describe the remediation work 7 both with the state and with our buyer. 8 that was done to be in compliance with 8 But they include, obviously, a 9 the State of New Jersey requirements? 9 prohibition of breaching the cap, 10 A. Yes, 1 can. 10 requirements if it's necessary - for 11 Q. Tell me about that. 11 protection if it's necessary to breach 12 A. There was an investigation conducted of 12 the cap and restoration. And they 13 the facility, including ground and soil, 13 include prohibitions on certain types of 14 groundwater and soil. Excuse me. And 14 re-use. 15 then there was an agreed program for 15 Q. Do you know what levels of PCBs were 16 remediation.

Who has the most, 1 can't begin to speculate on. Is the Everett Plant still in operation? No, ma'am. It's not. When did it close? To give you the same sort of answer as 1 did for Kearny, we announced the shutdown in 1991, which is why my involvement began. 1 have forgotten precisely when we ceased manufacture. But some one or two years thereafter, since there was more than one product made at the plant. What was primarily being manufactured at the Everett plant? At the time 1 became involved with the Everett plant -- and I'm sure it made many, many things throughout its history - we manufactured plasticizers of 1 2 Q. 3 4 A. 5 6 7 8 9 10 Q. 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 A. 21 Q. 22 23 Page 40 in the New York Harbor. But do you know what the reason is for that fish advisory if there is one? 1 don't know if there is one really. It's not a very nice body of water around Manhattan Island and the environs. But if there is one, 1 would not know what the reason for it would be. Let me go back to your role as environmental protection manager, because the reason we kind of got sidetracked is 1 was asking you and you told me that you had responsibility for five different facilities, Camden, New Jersey; Kearny, New Jersey; Everett, Massachusetts; Carson, California; and Long Beach, California. Is that correct? For that short period of time, yes. Right. And what exactly were you doing as environmental protection manager with respect to those five facilities? Felder, Jeffrey D.

Page 41 My initial charge was to ensure that the facilities were properly shut down, dismantled, decontaminated, remediated if necessary. What was your next charge? My job changed. To what? In 1992 1 became director of site operations, and my scope increased to also oversee the shutdown of the manufacturing operations, per se, and make sure that our customers were properly satisfied, outplacement of our employees to provide jobs for those people or retirements where they were eligible and wished to do so. And 1 took on responsibility for an additional number of other sites that were either considered for shutdown or that had been shut down since to try to put them in some useful -- return them to useful purposes. So as director of site operations in 1 2 Q. 3 A. 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Q. 11 12 13 14 15 A. 16 Q. 17 18 19 A. 20 Q. 21 22 A. 23 Q. Page 43 off the Texas coast near Galvaston. Is that in La Marque or Texas City? Neither of those names ring a bell with me. I'm sorry. And several others that 1 don't recall specifically. 1 really had a portfolio of facilities that had been disused over the years, and we wanted to return them to useful purposes so far as we could. And all I'm really going to try to get to is out of those additional facilities that you became involved with, were any of those facilities where PCBs were on site that had to be addressed? 1 don't think so. So the two that you can recall during the time frame that we're discussing would be Kearny and Everett? Yes, ma'am. How long did you remain in that position as director of site operations? More or less until the end of 1994. And did your role -- was it basically as Page 42 Page 44 1 terms of a shutdown of the facilities, 1 you have previously described? 2 would it be the five that you previously 2 A. More or less. 3 listed, plus some additional ones? 3 Q. What did you do next? 4 A. Yes, ma'am. 4 A. 1 was transferred to a project we refer 5 Q. Which additional ones did you get 5 to as WOF, which at the time stood for 6 involved with? 6 Worldwide Order Fulfilling, which was a 7 A. 1 don't recall all of the sites, nor 7 large information technology project. 8 their state when 1 first became 8 Q. Why were you transferred to that? That 9 involved. 9 doesn't seem to fit with your 10 Q. As best you can recall which other sites 10 environmental health background. 11 did you have supervision for? 11 A. 1 was transferred to that because of my 12 A. Supervision 1 guess is a relative term 12 skills in leading change. 13 in the context of the site is already 13 Q. Sort of more of a management type role? 14 shut down -- same meaning -- 14 A. Yes, ma'am. 15 Q. Which other sites did you deal with? 15 Q. Which does fit with your management 16 A. I'm going to try to recollect as best 1 16 background? 17 can. 1 dealt with Anaheim, California. 17 A. Yes, ma'am. 18 In that instance 1 did oversee a 18 Q. How long did you do that? 19 shutdown and the re-deployment of the 19 A. As it turned out, only a matter of a few 20 equipment and the people to another 20 months, because the company reorganized, 21 location. 21 and while that project continued, there 22 1 was also involved in a facility 22 was another role found where my skills 23 in Sand Mountain, Alabama, a facility 23 were thought to be more useful, and 1 Felder, Jeffrey D.

And you went with Solutia in the spin? 3 A. 1 was the leader for a portion of the 3 A. Yes, ma'am. 1 did. 4 environmental business, environmental 4 Q. So you actually just set up an 5 safety and health actually, what was 5 environmental safety and health 6 called then Monsanto Business Services. 6 department similar to what existed in 7 Q. What were your duties and 7 Monsanto for Solutia; is that accurate? 8 responsibilities in that position? 8 A. 1 don't know how to define "similar," 9 A. Initially, 1 led a group of people in 9 but we set up an environmental safety 10 the environmental safety, industrial 10 and health department that was suitable 11 hygiene, and analytical quality control 11 for Solutia. 12 areas. 12 Q. Okay. Well, can you think of some 13 Q. Were these people at sites in the 13 differences between the environmental 14 country or were they in St. Louis? 14 safety and health department that was 15 A. Generally they were in St. Louis. 15 set up in Solutia compared to the 16 Q. And what were you doing in terms of 16 Monsanto environmental safety and health 17 leading these people? 17 department, any significant differences? 18 A. Various things, ensuring that our 18 A. Different people, some different 19 clients got what they needed, ensuring 19 functions, more of some, less of others, 20 that our people were properly developed, 20 I'm sure. The product mix is different 21 and trying to build this organizational 21 and the plant mix is different. 22 structure, which our then CEO felt was 22 Q. Was it a smaller department in Solutia? 23 going to be beneficial for the company. 23 A. In total, yes. Page 46 Page 48 1 Q. What was the organizational structure? 1 Q. And then once Solutia's environmental 2 A. A sort of internal consulting 2 safety and health department had been 3 organization that we refer -- as 1 say, 3 set up, what did you do? 4 refer to as Monsanto Business Services. 4 A. 1 led our product stewardship in 5 Q. How long did you remain in that 5 toxicology -- which is a closely-related 6 position? 6 issue -- and efforts in hazard 7 A. 1 remained in a position like that or 7 communication as well. 8 that one precisely through probably the 8 Q. For Solutia? 9 beginning of 1997. Again, the position 9 A. Yes, ma'am. 1 did. 10 changed with respect to time. 10 Q. How long did you remain in the product 11 Q. During that '94 to '97 time frame, did 11 stewardship and toxicology leader 12 you have any responsibilities for either 12 position? 13 the Anniston site or the Sauget 13 A. The positions have changed with respect 14 Krummrich site? 14 to time, so in one view I'm still in 15 A. No, ma'am. Did not. 15 that position, although 1 have 16 Q. What did you do in '97? 16 additional responsibilities as well. 17 A. In 1997 1 was involved in helping to set 17 Q. What additional -- Well, did your job 18 up the Environmental Safety and Health 18 title change from '97 to the present? 19 Organization and then leading a portion 19 A. Yes, ma'am. It did. 20 of that organization for Solutia, 20 Q. What was the next job title change, at 21 Incorporated. 21 what time frame? 22 Q. This was during the time of the spinoff 22 A. Probably earlier this year my title 23 of Solutia? 23 changed to include responsibility for Felder, Jeffrey D.

And subsequent to that my 2 position changed again to the title 1 3 A. offered you earlier on when asking my 4 Q. present job title. 5 And give me that one more time, your 6 present title? 7 Director of environmental safety and 8 A. health. 9 Then the job changed in earlier 2000 -- 10 Well, actually when did you get the 11 title of director of environmental 12 safety and health? 13 Q. Probably within the last month or so. 14 Was it July or August? 15 Either June or July. 16 And did you replace someone that was 17 holding that position? 18 No, ma'am. 1 did not. We reorganized 19 the department. 20 A. Who was handling those functions before 21 you took over the job of director of 22 Q. environmental safety and health? 23 A. Page 51 And then who was handling the health issues? Dr. Shepperly. So would it be fair to say that prior to June or July of this year you were not addressing safety and health issues for Solutia? It would be fair to say prior to June or July of this year 1 was not responsible for process safety, personnel safety, industrial hygiene, or toxicology. That had moved back and forth. Okay. Then let me back up to the earlier job change, which was sometime 1 guess toward the beginning of 2001 when you started having responsibility for environmental issues and remediation. Who had been handling those aspects before you took over those functions? Remediation was handled by my former colleague, Mike Foresman. And how about environmental issues? It seems to me that the environmental 1 A. 2 3 Q. 4 A. 5 6 Q. 7 A. 8 9 Q. 10 A. 11 Q. 12 A. 13 Q. 14 A. 15 Q. 16 A. 17 Q. 18 A. 19 20 Q. 21 A. 22 Q. 23 A.

Who had environmental issues? 3 1 did, as 1 said, beginning in the end 4 of February. 5 How about safety? 6 Safety was handled by a former colleague 7 who's a medical doctor. 8 Who is that? 9 David Shepperly. 10 Q. David Who? 11 Shepperly. 12 Can you spell that? 13 Yes, ma'am. S-H-E-P-P-E-R-L-Y. 14 And where did Mr. Shepperly go? 15 A. He's left the company. 16 Do you know where he is now? 17 Q. 1 believe he's with a pharmaceutical 18 A. firm. 19 Which one? 20 Bristol-Myers, 1 think. 21 Where? 22 1 don't know precisely. 23 Page 52 protection managers that were then in the company doing that function reported to Mike Foresman also. But that changed with respect to time. And that was frankly more of an administrative question, just as the movement of the toxicologist between Dr. Shepperly and myself was then a functional issue. We simply worked as a team. As we sit here today in August of 2001, can you tell us every area that you have responsibility for in your position as director of environmental safety and health? Yes, ma'am. You decide how much detai you wish to have, please. Okay. I'm responsible for our environmental issues, again, on something of a shared service basis. I'm responsible for industrial hygiene issues, and this will all be on that same basis. I'm responsible for personnel and process Felder, Jeffrey D.

No, ma'am. It was not. 1 accepted, as 17 you're the director of? 17 noted, in 2001, earlier this year. 18 A. Yes, ma'am. That's correct. 18 Q. Right. Of course you had done some 19 Q. Is there also a similar subgroup for 19 remediation work when you were at some 20 each of those other areas? For example, 20 of the specific plants, like we talked 21 IH, toxicology, product stewardship, et 21 about, right? 22 cetera? 22 A. That's correct. 23 A. Generally speaking, yes. They're 23 Q. But at corporate that was being handled Page 54 Page 56 1 structured a bit differently, but 1 by someone else up until the beginning 2 generally speaking, yes. 2 of this year? 3 Q.

Is it mainly sort of status? You're responsible for making sure that you're up to date on the status of these various projects? Generally 1 wish to be aware that the strategy is logical, and obviously on coming up that learning curve I'm sure there were strategies in place on Mr. Foresman's responsibility that I'm not all aware of. I'm working through the list, if you will -- and that they are on schedule and that they are operating to the satisfaction of those concerned. Are you in the position that Mr. Pierle used to be in? 1 don't think there's a direct analogy. Page 62 Page 64 1 MS. MALOW: Do you know what he's 1 Q. Didn't he at one time have a position 2 talking about? 2 that was sort of head of environmental 3 MR. KELLY. (Indicating.) 3 safety and health? 4 MS. MALOW: Oh. The objections. 4 A. Yes, ma'am.

And there might be one or 2 first instance we would trigger based on 3 two other bits and pieces in there, the 3 change in something we were doing.

Does Solutia perform any in-house 12 the SH group. 12 toxicity studies on its products? 13 Q. Who does he report to? 13 A. We don't have an in-house toxicology 14 A.

And is there any ongoing toxicity 17 A. No, ma'am. He's not. 17 studies being performed by outside 18 Q.

Have you ever been involved in any of 21 Q. Was he at one time dealing with 21 the toxicological studies for PCBs? 22 toxicology issues? 22 A. 1 have not personally. 23 A. 1 don't know his entire career. 23 Q. Have you read any of the toxicological 1 Q. 2 3 4 A. 5 6 7 8 Q. 9 10 11 A. 12 Q. 13 A. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Page 66 What is your responsibility as director 1 of environmental safety and health with 2 respect to toxicology? 3 A. I'm responsible for the people that 4 handle the toxicology investigation, 5 Q. risk assessment and the like for our 6 current products. 7 What sort of risk assessments are done 8 A. internally at Solutia for its particular 9 Q. products? 10 Today? 11 Yes. 12 There's a fairly extensive process that 13 A. we refer to as the environmental safety 14 and health assessment on all new 15 products, new uses of existing products, 16 and several other permutations thereof, 17 to assure they are safe for employees, 18 users, the general public, in transport, 19 et cetera. 20 In addition to that, there is an 21 ongoing assessment of products based on 22 Q. things that might be reported in the 23 Page 68 studies that were previously done by Industrial Biotest? 1 have read studies done by Industrial Biotest but not on PCBs. Did you know that Industrial Biotest performed toxicity studies on PCBs at the request of Monsanto? No, 1 did not know that. Are you familiar with any of criminal proceedings against Industrial Biotest with respect to studies it performed on Monsanto's behalf? To the extent that we went back and reaudited studies on some product lines for which 1 was responsible, as 1 mentioned earlier, 1 had some studies that had an audit report by a third party to validate IBT's work or invalidate it, as the case may have been. That's the extent of my experience with IBT. As we sit here today, have you ever read any of the epidemiological literature on Felder, Jeffrey D.

It's not an existing product, and as 1 said, my responsibilities in the product area have been defined around our existing product line. Well, but since PCBs continue to persist in the environment, why wouldn't you be familiar with the literature on it? MR. KELLY: Object to the form. May 1 answer? (By Ms. Malow) Yes. It's not part of my present responsibility, nor was it. Well, you are dealing now with Mr. Branchfield in the remediation of a PCB contaminated site, are you not? Yes, ma'am. 1 am. So wouldn't it be important for you to know what sort of environmental impact PCBs have? It would be important for either me to know or someone whom 1 might trust who 1 2 3 4 5 6 A. 7 8 9 10 11 12 Q. 13 14 15 16 17 18 A. 19 20 Q. 21 22 23 Page 71 environmental impact and a health impact, that in your position as director of environmental safety and health it would be important for you to know that information? It would be important for me to know sufficient to do my job or to know those who knew it, either direct employees or contract employees, consultants and the like. It's difficult to know everything about everything. Right. But the only reason I'm getting back to this is because you made a point that you don't manufacture the product anymore. But you do know that PCBs are persistent in the environment, don't you? 1 know that that's said and 1 know that there are PCBs in Anniston. Do you know that there are levels in the bodies of the neighbors at the Anniston facility that are as high or higher than in worker populations? 1 2 Q. 3 4 A. 5 6 7 8 9 Q. 10 11 12 13 A. 14 Q. 15 16 17 A. 18 19 20 21 Q. 22 23 Page 70 works for me to know. So are you saying that that knowledge is within Mr. Branchfield's head? 1 don't know whether it's in his head or others. It's -- Again, as 1 said, 1 have taken over the functional responsibilities in the past week or two. 1 will know eventually. You personally right now sitting here on August the 9th, 2001, don't have knowledge about the current epidemiological literature on PCBs? Not in any detail; no, 1 do not. How about animal studies on PCBs? Do you have any knowledge right now about the animal studies on PCBs? Now, roughly one to two weeks later after 1 have taken over the responsibility for Steve's day-to-day work, no, 1 don't. Would you agree that regardless of the fact that PCBs are no longer manufactured, that if there is an 1 2 3 A. 4 5 Q. 6 7 8 Q. 9 10 11 A. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Q. 21 22 23 Page 72 MR. KELLY: Object to the form and the assumption. 1 have not seen any specific data. No, 1 don't know that. (By Ms. Malow) Would that surprise you to hear that? MR. KELLY: Object to the form. (By Ms. Malow) Or does that surprise you to hear that? MR. KELLY: Object to form. I'm not sure whether 1 should be surprised or not. You're saying it. 1 don't have any basis to believe or disbelieve you, nor any basis to understand why it might or might not be if it were true, quality of analytical work, or lots of the other things in my experience that one has to understand before one believes data. (By Ms. Malow) Do you know of any community other than Anniston where the residents have PCB levels in their blood that's comparable to worker populations? Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 69 - 72 WATER PCB-SD0000004142 Page 73 Page 75 1 A. No, 1 don't. But 1 don't know that it's 1 intention to retire. My duties had been 2 true in Anniston either. 2 changed, along with Steve Smith's. And 3 Q. Have you seen the serum levels of the 3 so we went to become acquainted with 4 neighbors of the Anniston plant? 4 this particular project. 5 A. 1 have not as yet. 5 Q. Sort of an orientation? 6 Q. Is that something that you plan to look 6 A. Yes, ma'am. 7 at? 7 Q. Who else from St. Louis other than you 8 A. It depends on whether 1 need to for my 8 and Mr. Smith went to Mr. Anniston? 9 purposes in my job. 9 A. Just the three of us. 10 Q. Well, are you as the director of 10 Q. Did Mr. Foresman go with you? 11 environmental safety and health for 11 A. Yes, ma'am. He did. 12 Solutia concerned about the health of 12 Q. Oh, 1 didn't know that because Mr. Smith 13 your neighbors? 13 didn't tell me that yesterday. All 14 A. Of course, 1 am. 14 right. So Mr. Smith, Mr. Foresman, and 15 Q. Isn't that in fact part of the pledge 15 yourself all went there in February? 16 that Solutia has made to the community, 16 A. Yes, ma'am, we did. 17 to protect not only the health of its 17 Q.

MALOW: Back on the record. 8 A. (By Ms. Malow) Mr. Felder, before we go 9 to Exhibit - 1 think it's Two - how 10 Q. many times have you been to Anniston, 11 Alabama? 12 Twice. 13 Were both of those in the year 2001 ? 14 Yes, ma'am. 15 A. Let's start with the first time that you 16 went there. Was that on February 7th of 17 2001? 18 Q. Yes, ma'am. This is my note from -- 19 A. Exhibit Two is my note from that visit. 20 All right. And what was the purpose of 21 Q. the February 7th, 2001 visit? 22 A. Mike Foresman had announced his 23 Q. Page 76 met the young woman who works in their office. 1 think 1 met one of the construction people. Did you meet with Mr. Branchfield as well? Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry. 1 wanted every one of them. 1 thought you had mentioned that earlier on. No, no. 1 had from St. Louis, you, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Foresman. And then when you got there, you met with Mr. Cain, Mr. Jones, Mr. Branchfield. And who else? 1 have forgotten the last name of the lady that works in the office, but 1 believe her first name is Gina. Did you also meet with Mr. Jerry Hopper? Yes, ma'am. 1 did meet Jerry Hopper. Thank you. How about Bruce Eley? No. 1 don't recall Bruce being there. I'm just guessing names because 1 don't Felder, Jeffrey D.

But 1 saw Mr. Eley's name on the memo, so 1 was wondering if he was one of the people that was there. No. So was it just a one-day visit to the plant? We went down one morning and came back early the next morning, though we were not at the plant that morning. 1 think we had a 7:30 flight the second morning. Right. And my understanding is you did not spend the night in Anniston, correct? 1 don't recall. 1 think we spent the night by the airport, which 1 guess would be closer to Birmingham. Right. That's what Mr. Smith testified to yesterday. Is that your recollection? That's my recollection as well. And then I'm going to get into more detail about the first meeting, but let 1 A. 2 3 Q. 4 A. 5 6 7 8 Q. 9 10 11 12 A. 13 Q. 14 A. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Q. 23 Page 79 1 just don't know. 1 would have to look at my expense account. All right. Let's The second one is very clear because we got up early so we could get to the airplane, but the first one 1 don't remember. Okay. Let's go back to the first one. Other than going to the plant site, did you inspect any other areas or go to other areas in the Anniston -Yes, ma'am. Tell me about that. Steve took -- or 1 don't know whether he drove or Mike drove -- but in the event, somehow between the two of them they showed Steve and me the surrounding areas nearby the plant and elsewhere. Just how far out, what mileage, 1 don't recall, but where there were issues related to the remediation. Specifically, did you take a look at Snow Creek? Page 78 Page 80 1 me skip to the second meeting. When was 1 A. 1 don't remember. But 1 may have done 2 that? 2 -- If Snow Creek crosses under the 3 A. A few months ago. 1 don't recall 3 Quintard Mall, then 1 saw a part of Snow 4 precisely. 4 Creek. 5 Q. April or so? 5 Q. Did you look at Choccolocco Creek? 6 A. April, May, 1 think. Yes, ma'am. 6 A. 1 don't think so. 7 Q. Was that also a one-day trip? 7 Q. Did you go to Lake Logan Martin? 8 A. No. 1 think that was a two-day trip, 8 A. No. 1 do recall as we were driving down 9 actually. 9 whatever highway goes from the 10 Q. Did you stay in Anniston or near 10 Birmingham airport to the plant that 11 Birmingham? 11 either Mike --1 guess it had to have 12 A. 1 know we stayed in Birmingham or near 12 been Mike because Craig wasn't with us 13 Birmingham the second night so we would 13 coming from the airport -- gestured and 14 be close to the airport in the morning. 14 said -- 15 We may have stayed in Anniston the first 15 Q. Right. "There is Lake Logan Martin"? 16 night or we may have driven back and 16 A. Yes, ma'am. 17 forth. 1 don't honestly recall. My 17 Q. But there was no actual inspection of 18 expense account would tell me. 18 the lake? 19 Q. Well, Mr. Smith testified that he was on 19 A. No, ma'am. 20 both of those trips and that he didn't 20 Q.

Let's put it that way. All right. It's kind of hard to miss. Okay. How about any residential neighbors' properties? Did you go look at any residences near the Anniston plant site? We drove by some homes. We drove by a church or two. We drove by some businesses near the plant. Yes. How about Oxford ball fields? Did y'all go over there? Yes, we did. And any other places that you can recall specifically driving to during that one-day visit? 1 believe 1 mentioned a moment ago we drove past the Quintard Mall and around it, actually. All right. And the purpose of that again was just sort of orientation as to the different areas where there's projects underway? 1 2 A. 3 Q. 4 5 6 A. 7 Q. 8 9 A. 10 Q. 11 12 A. 13 Q. 14 15 A. 16 Q. 17 18 A. 19 Q. 20 21 22 23 Page 83 handwriting as well? Could you give me a specific? For example, on enclosure 1, which is the "Anniston Remedial Project List of Key Personnel." That's my printing. And the same thing on page 2 of that enclosure 1? That is also my printing. And is it also your handwriting on what's called "Sheet 1" at the top? That is mine as well. And then is that your handwriting on the Summary Graph, where it says "actual"? No. That's not. And then it looks like the last two pages have no markings on them. Let me just take a look. 1 agree. So you took these notes during the February meeting. Let's kind of go through these and let me get some understanding of what you meant by these notes. First you have got a -- The 1 A. 2 3 4 Q. 5 6 7 8 9 10 A. 11 Q. 12 13 A. 14 Q. 15 16 17 A. 18 19 20 21 Q. 22 23 Page 82 Yes, ma'am. It sometimes helps to see 1 the lay of the land as well as any 2 aerial photo or map. 3 Sure. Okay. Then let's talk about the 4 A. actual meeting at the plant. You have 5 Q. -- Your lawyer has produced to us some 6 notes that --1 guess this is in your 7 handwriting, the first four pages; is 8 that right? 9 Count the pages for you. Yes. 10 A. And did you take those notes 11 Q. contemporaneously with the meeting? 12 Yes, 1 did. 13 And is that your pattern to -- or 14 practice to take notes during the 15 A. meetings that you attend? 16 Depends. If 1 can depend on someone 17 else for those purposes, then 1 will. 18 This was my get-acquainted visit. So 1 19 felt that 1 needed something a bit more. 20 Okay. There's some handwriting on some521 of the other pages which are also part 22 of Exhibit Two. Is that your 23 Page 84 title of it is "Anniston Remediation" and then in parentheses you say "and litigation." Yes, ma'am. Then you have got number 1, "People," "see enclosure 1," and enclosure 1 actually gives a fairly detailed list of areas and names of people and which organizations they are with, correct? Yes, it does. Then you have got a comment under 1.1 "Bruce Eley does very well with people contacts." First of all, what is Mr. Eley's role? 1 don't know precisely. Fie doesn't work for me, nor does he work for anyone who does work for me. But he's involved in some manner in this project. 1 think there's some description back there. It says, "Bruce Eley, Solutia, property access and miscellaneous." And the note apparently was taken in the context with those duties. Because 1 have got a Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 81 - 84 WATER PCB-SD0000004145 Page 85 Page 87 1 direct reference to the enclosure. 1 in your list of key personnel document. 2 Q. Was that your comment, or were you 2 A. That last is certainly true. But 3 recording somebody else's observation 3 whether it's a direct tie, 1 don't 4 about Mr. Eley? 4 remember. 5 A. 1 was undoubtedly recording someone 5 Q. You just don't remember? 6 else's conversation about Bruce because 6 A. No, ma'am. Steve is Steve Smith, 7 1 don't know Bruce that well. 7 however. 8 Q. Do you remember who made that comment 8 Q. 1 figured, but 1 hadn't gotten there 9 about Bruce, that he does very well with 9 quite yet. 10 people contacts? 10 A. Sorry. 11 A. No. 1 honestly don't. There were 11 Q. You're predicting my questions, which 12 basically three people besides myself in 12 always happens. I'm fine with that. 13 the room. Could have been any one of 13 All right. Do you know 14 them. 14 Mr. Williams? Have you ever met him? 15 Q. Do you know which particular people 15 A. Yes, 1 have. 16 contacts were being referred to? Is 16 Q.

Richard is an environmental consultant, 20 A. 1 don't recall any longer. 20 if it's Richard Williams. 21 Q. Okay. Then you have got 1.2. "Craig 21 Q. Okay. And is that an outside consultant 22 deals with public, whereas Richard and 22 that Solutia has hired to assist in 23 Steve handle 'technical' issues." You 23 their remediation of the Anniston site?

And then in your handwriting you 4 A. Yes, 1 do. 4 wrote, "usually at the site." Is he 5 Q. And when you say he deals with the 5 stationing himself now mostly at the 6 public, who specifically was being 6 Anniston plant? 7 referred to? 7 A. I'm not sure where you're looking. 8 A.

I'm sorry. 12 Q. And then who is Richard? 12 A. Thank you. 13 A. 1 don't recall from the notes. 1 wish 1 13 Q. 1 changed pages on you. 14 had put a last name down here. It's 14 A. Just a moment and I'll catch up, if you 15 like my second note at the beginning of 15 will, please. 16 the meeting after getting off the 16 Q. Certainly. 17 airplane. 17 A. Okay. Your question? I'm in the right 18 Q. Okay. Could it be Richard Williams, 18 place. What was your question, please? 19 who's listed in the remediation key 19 Q. Okay. 1 was trying to figure out 20 personnel group? 20 whether or not your note that says 21 A. It could be but it might not necessarily 21 "usually at site" means that 22 be. 22 Mr. Williams is now pretty much working 23 Q. He's the only Richard that 1 see listed 23 at the Anniston facility on a regular Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 85 - 88 WATER PCB-SD0000004146 Page 89 Page 91 1 basis? 1 A. Well, 1 wrote down what 1 was told. In 2 A. Well, 1 wish 1 had taken more detailed 2 my roughly -- Actually, 1 hadn't even 3 notes. That's probably what it means, 3 begun the job yet. 1 knew 1 was going 4 but I'm no longer sure. 4 to begin the job. Mike hadn't retired 5 Q. Okay. Do you know when it is that R. S. 5 as yet. So 1 don't know. 1 wrote down 6 Williams & Associates was hired to serve 6 what 1 was told at the time. 7 as a consultant on this remediation at 7 Q. As you sit here now, do you have any 8 the Anniston site? 8 understanding as to whether or not 9 A. 1 don't just yet. 9 Mr. Smith is in fact handling any 10 Q. That is something you'll learn as you 10 technical issue at the Anniston site? 11 get more involved? 11 A. 1 think it's fair to say that Steve is, 12 A. If 1 need to, or if 1 learn 1 can depend 12 by working through Craig and John and 13 on Craig for those sorts of things 13 Richard and whomever else we may be 14 without fail, then 1 won't learn. 14 using. 1 don't think it would be a 15 [Discussion held off the 15 reach to say that's handling technical 16 record.] 16 issues. 17 MS.

(By Ms. Malow) What exactly is the 19 ago. 20 function of the technical lead for the 20 Q. Sorry. 1 got confused. 21 off-site RFI to your understanding, 21 Then we go to paragraph 2, which 22 Mr. Felder? 22 has "Work." It looks like you have 23 A. Just as it says.

And then you have got "CERCLA 2 investigation, remediation, and the like 2 investigation" on the right-hand side. 3 for that portion of the work. 3 Are those two different areas? 4 Q. Would he be dealing, for example, with 4 A. That's how it was explained to me at the 5 Choccolocco Creek? 5 time. 1 was literally taking notes to 6 A. Off sites, yes. 6 help me understand. It's just one of 7 Q. And then 1 guess in that list of key 7 the ways 1 study. 8 personnel, Mr. Loperwith Roux is the 8 Q. Okay. Then it says, 1 think -- And if 1 9 technical lead for on-site RFI? 9 misread your writing, tell me. It says, 10 A. Yes, ma'am. 10 "Start - state RCRA, investigation 11 Q. And other areas as well? 11 essentially done, and we would argue 12 A. That's correct. 12 earlier remediation work suffices." Did 13 Q. Okay. Let's go back to your handwritten 13 1 read that correctly? 14 notes where you say that Richard and 14 A. You read my writing correctly, yes. 15 Steve handle technical issues. 15 Q. What is meant, based on your 16 Yesterday when 1 took Mr. Smith's 16 participation in this meeting, as to the 17 deposition he did not seem to know many 17 statement that "Solutia would argue that 18 of the technical details of the Anniston 18 the earlier remediation work suffices"? 19 remediation and deferred to 19 A. What 1 understood it to be, and what my 20 Mr. Branchfield. So 1 guess what 1 20 notes remind me of, is that on that 21 would like to know is what exactly is 21 phase of the work we think that, A, 22 meant by this note that Steve is 22 their investigation was done. And, B, 23 handling the technical issues. 23 the remediation in those areas that was Felder, Jeffrey D.

So specifically is Solutia taking the position, based on your understanding of this initial meeting, that for example, the landfills on site that have been capped are adequately containing the PCBs? That's our belief, yes. And have you read the recent May 2001 report by EPA regarding their assessment of the work, remediation work? You would have to show me a copy so 1 could be certain. Well, 1 mean, as we sit here now, are you familiar with the fact that EPA had requested an environmental response team center to utilize, react as a third party to conduct an independent evaluation of the Anniston PCB site? No. There's a note here that says EPA Landfill SWAT Team on my item number -- 4? 4. 1 2 3 A. 4 Q. 5 6 A. 7 Q. 8 9 10 A. 11 12 13 14 15 Q. 16 17 18 19 A. 20 21 22 23 Q. Page 95 or what did you mean by the use of the word "Issues"? Kind of open items. And you have got "groundwater" and "air." Correct? Yes, ma'am. 1 do. And now, under groundwater you say "sampling suitability." What do you mean by that? Just what it says. Is the sampling suitable? And that's apparently an issue that was -- at least at the time 1 took these notes -- not agreed amongst the parties. And by that do you mean that some of the governmental entities were saying that the sampling performed of the groundwater may not have been suitable? It would include that, yes. There might be other parties, such as your clients, who are arguing the same thing. My notes simply say -- reflect. That's - Page 94 Page 96 1 Q. Yeah. Okay. But have you actually seen 1 A. -- it's an open issue. 2 the written work that EPA Landfill SWAT 2 Q. Okay. Have you at this date, in August 3 Team has done? 3 of 2001, determined in your mind as the 4 A. 1 haven't. Late yesterday afternoon as 4 director of environmental safety and 5 1 was leaving the office a report 5 health for Solutia whether or not the 6 reached me on inter-office mail. 6 groundwater sampling conducted to date 7 Whether it's the same report or not, 1 7 is in fact suitable? 8 don't know. All 1 know with certainty 8 A. We're continuing to sample because the 9 is that it relates to Anniston. 9 regulatory agencies wish us to continue 10 Q. Okay. All right. So the position that 10 to sample. 11 Solutia is taking, based on your 11 Q. So it's still an open question? 12 understanding at this meeting, was that 12 A. It's an open question. 13 all of the work that has been done both 13 Q. Then we go to air, which is number 2 14 on site as well as off site in terms of 14 under "Issues." And you say, "pathway 15 the RFIs is appropriate? 15 or not" question mark. Does that just 16 A. Actually, the note refers specifically 16 mean you're still trying to determine 17 to state RCRA investigation. 17 whether or not the air is a potential 18 Q. So would that be limited to the on site? 18 pathway of exposure? 19 A. Ordinarily so. On site plus landfill. 19 A. No. It means that someone is trying to 20 RCRA wouldn't cover other kinds of 20 determine that and there's not 21 things. 21 agreement, or it wouldn't be listed 22 Q. Then you say "Issues." 1 guess what 1 22 under issues. 23 want to know first is what do you mean 23 Q. Have you in your own mind determined Felder, Jeffrey D.

It certainly wasn't 4 in Kearny. 5 It was not in Kearny? 6 That's correct. 7 Have you seen the air monitoring results 8 that Solutia has taken at the plant 9 site? 10 Not as yet. 11 Have you seen any of the EPA air data? 12 Not as yet. 13 Have you seen any of the air data by the 14 plaintiffs' experts? 15 Not as yet. 16 Are you familiar with any EPA region 17 that has developed risk based 18 concentrations for air? 19 For "Rebecca," you mean? 20 Risk based concentration. 1 call them 21 RBCs. 22 The acronym in the industry, 1 guess, is 23 Page 99 object to the assumptions. I'd like to understand, as 1 said earlier in response to a somewhat similar question; 1 have forgotten specifics --1 would want to understand more about the basis for how the risk level was set. 1 would want to understand whether there was some sort of scientific agreement about it. Oftentimes there's disputes in these sorts of things within the scientific community. And 1 don't mean the industry versus EPA, but others who are more disinterested, perhaps. And I'd like to understand more about the validity of both the sample collection and the analytical work that was associated with it, so both sides of the issue, if you think about it. Risk has an exposure component and a hazard component. And you need to understand both before you can draw reasonable conclusions. Page 98 Page 100 1 "Rebecca." 1 am aware that some work 1 Q. (By Ms. Malow) Let's just assume that 2 has been done. 1 don't know the 2 everything is valid and that the 3 numbers, nor whether there's agreement 3 scientific methodology is sound. Let's 4 in the scientific community on it. 4 just make that assumption for purposes 5 Q. Do you have any information as to how 5 of this question only. Given those 6 the levels in Anniston compare with any 6 assumptions, if it turns out that the 7 risk based concentrations the EPA has 7 air levels in fact are thirty times 8 developed? 8 higher than EPA risk based 9 A. Not as yet. 9 concentrations, do you as the director 10 Q. Would it surprise you if the readings 10 of environmental safety and health for 11 were thirty times higher than the risk 11 Solutia find that acceptable? 12 based concentration levels? 12 MR. KELLY: Object to the form. 13 MR. KELLY: Object to the form. 13 A. If all those things were true, we would 14 A. 1 don't know whether 1 would be 14 wish to take some measures to change 15 surprised or not until 1 saw the data 15 that. What those measures might be 16 and until someone explained to me 16 would depend on additional facts. And 17 whether it's rational or not rational. 17 the further you take the speculation 18 Q. (By Ms. Malow) Okay. Assume with me 18 out, the less worthwhile my answer is 19 that in fact there are levels in the air 19 going to be. 20 in Anniston that are thirty times higher 20 Q. (By Ms. Malow) Sure. But as we sit 21 than EPA risk based concentrations. Do 21 here now, that's information that you're 22 you find that to be acceptable? 22 still going to get up to speed on? 23 MR. KELLY: Object to the form; 23 A. That's correct. Either 1 will or I'll Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 97-100 WATER PCB-SD0000004149 Page 101 Page 103 1 understand that my people understand it 1 MR. KELLY: Object to the form. 2 sufficiently for my purposes. 2 A. Depends on, 1 suppose, the use of the 3 Q. Okay. Now, since you have only listed 3 fish, et cetera. It's an FDA question 4 groundwater and air under your issues 4 after all. 5 and you did not list, for example, fish 5 Q.

As we sit here now in August of 2001, do 14 Q.

If that's what's required to provide 20 that you mentioned already 1 was told 20 safety, yes, of course. If it's not 21 some of those numbers in the context of 21 required, no. 22 where and what and how they had 22 Q. Let me ask you this, Mr. Felder: If you 23 decreased over time. 23 and your family lived in Anniston and Page 102 Page 104 1 Q. Do you know if even today some of the 1 the fish levels were higher than FDA 2 fish in Choccolocco Creek exceed FDA 2 limits, would you eat the fish? 3 acceptable limits? 3 A. Depends. 4 A. 1 don't recall specifically. I'm sorry. 4 Q. Depend on what? 5 1 recall that the subject matter was 5 A. Depends on what other information 1 6 discussed, and 1 entered into the 6 have. 7 discussion, but 1 don't remember the 7 Q. Well, let's assume that you want to eat 8 details. 8 fish and you know that the fish levels 9 Q. Well, if they are on decline, does that 9 exceed FDA limits. Would you eat them? 10 mean necessarily that they don't exceed 10 A. Possibly. 11 FDA limits? 11 MR. KELLY: Object to form. 12 A. No. It doesn't mean that they do, 12 THE WITNESS: Sorry. 13 though, either. 1 just don't remember 13 Q. (By Ms. Malow) What would be the reason 14 the number. 14 that you would eat the fish? 15 Q. You just don't know the numbers? 15 A. If 1 thought that the standard was 16 A. Yes, ma'am. That's correct. 16 unduly conservative -- 17 Q. Have you seen the most recent ADEM fish 17 Q.

Do you think that the fish advisory 20 FDA standard of two parts per million of 21 should remain in effect if in fact the 21 PCBs is unduly conservative? 22 fish levels exceed FDA acceptable 22 A.

And you would have to do that before you 2 would come to a conclusion as to whether 3 or not the FDA standard is acceptable or 4 Q. too conservative? 5 That's correct. 6 All right. Let's go back to your notes. 7 You then have number 3, which says, 8 "Community wants us to settle using 9 Q. landfills as a lever." What was the 10 A. discussion about the community's wishes 11 and the landfills being a lever? 12 Q. One is driving the other. The 13 impression that 1 took out of it was 14 that there was litigation and there was 15 remediation, and there was some 16 interplay between the two. 17 What was meant in the -- or what was the 18 A. discussion about the landfills being a 19 lever? 20 Other than the note, 1 don't remember 21 the specifics. Clearly the notes 22 suggest that there is a tie between 23 Page 107 Yeah. Community is a broad term. But yes, my understanding is some parts of the community wish that to be the case. Do you have an understanding as to why it is that that is one of the wishes of the community? MR. KELLY: Object to the form. Calls for speculation. (By Ms. Malow) You can answer. 1 understand 1 can answer; I'm trying to understand the question. Okay. Do you have any understanding as to why it is that the community is requesting that Solutia clean up the landfills further? MR. KELLY: Object to the form, calls for speculation. My notes suggest to me, after -- you do the months -- but since February, so there's a bit of time that has elapsed -- that that desire is being used as a lever to cause us to do something different elsewhere. Page 106 Page 108 1 those two issues. 1 Q. (By Ms. Malow) So you think it is 2 Q. Is it the case that Solutia does not 2 completely connected to settlement of 3 want to do any remediation of the 3 litigation and nothing else? 4 landfills that are on site? 4 MR. KELLY: Object to the form. 5 MR. KELLY: Object to the form. 5 A. 1 don't know that 1 can get in the mind 6 A. As you recall, you remarked it earlier, 6 of you or your clients but obviously 7 we believe that the landfills are 7 someone said this to me during the 8 sufficiently contained, that there is no 8 course of the meeting. 9 remediation necessary. 9 Q. (By Ms. Malow) And that's all I'm 10 Q. (By Ms. Malow) 1 mean any further 10 trying to understand, is the thrust of 11 remediation. My question was poorly 11 the comment at the meeting was that the 12 phrased. Let me restate it. 12 only reason that the community want the 13 A. Please. 13 landfills cleaned up is because they 14 Q. Is it Solutia's position that there is 14 want to use that to you guys to settle 15 no further remediation work that needs 15 their lawsuit. Is that the thrust of 16 to be taken with respect to the on-site 16 it? 17 landfills at the Anniston facility? 17 MR. KELLY: Object to the form. 18 A. As 1 presently understand it, that's 18 A. That's what my notes suggest to me. 19 correct. 19 Q. (By Ms. Malow) Okay. 1 think I'm clear 20 Q. And it's your understanding that the 20 now. 21 community would like further remediation 21 EPA landfill SWAT team, we alluded 22 performed with respect to those on-site 22 to this earlier. Tell me what you can 23 landfills? 23 recall about your meeting in February of Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 105-108 WATER PCB-SD0000004151 1 2 3 A. 4 5 Q. 6 7 A. 8 Q. 9 10 11 12 13 14 A. 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Q. 23 Page 109 this year about the EPA landfill SWAT 1 team? 2 That there was such a thing and it might 3 become an issue. 4 A. Okay. Was that somehow thought to be 5 connected to the litigation as well? 6 1 don't recall. 7 The last sentence on that page says, 8 "Virtually everything we do is at our 9 Q. risk. And then in parens you say, "as 10 ADEM are very slow to approve work 11 plans." What was meant by virtually 12 everything we do is at our risk? 13 We understand that in order to do what 14 we believe is the right thing that we 15 A. may wind up doing more than is necessary 16 Q. in the regulator's view or something 17 different in addition to that is 18 A. necessary. We might have to do more 19 Q. subsequently because we're trying to 20 move things along. 21 So you think -- or it's Solutia's 22 A. position that Solutia is moving faster 23 Page 111 well completed sampling on Snow Creek." What is your understanding of what sampling has been done on Snow Creek? My understanding -- and it's a bit mixed up in my mind as to whether it was given to me then or subsequently -- is that we have sampled along Snow Creek to characterize the sediments. Okay. At the beginning 1 had asked you about Dr. Ferguson's report, which you testified you hadn't seen before, which actually addressed Snow Creek back in the '60s. Are you aware of sampling that was done at Snow Creek in the '60s? No, I'm not. Are you aware of sampling that was done of Snow Creek in the '80s? No, I'm not. Are you aware of the attorney general's investigation in 1985 of contamination of Snow Creek? 1 don't recall anything about it. I'm sorry. Page 110 Page 112 1 than ADEM is with respect to the work 1 Q. None of those things were told to you 2 plans? 2 when you got involved in the Anniston 3 A. In some regards, yes. 3 site? 4 Q. In what regards is Solutia moving faster 4 A. 1 don't remember at this point and my 5 than ADEM? 5 notes don't tell me that they do, and 6 A. 1 don't recall. 1 was told this. This 6 these are my contemporaneous notes. 7 wasn't my first party conclusion. 7 Q. So your only knowledge with respect to 8 Q. Going to page 2 of your notes, you say 8 sampling of Snow Creek deals with 9 "off-sites are," and then parens, "not 9 present day sampling? 10 plant nor contiguous," "11th Street 10 A. Yes, ma'am. That's correct. 11 ditch, Snow Creek, Choccolocco Creek, 11 Q. Then you say, "We have done a programmed 12 and Lake Logan Martin to the dam at Loy 12 sampling on Choccolocco Creek." What is 13 Lake," right? 13 meant by a programmed sampling? 1 think 14 A. Is that Loy or Lay? Looks like Lay, but 14 that's what that says, programmed? 15 it didn't reproduce very well. 15 A. 1 think it does, too, but apparently 1 16 Q. 1 can't read your writing there. You're 16 misspelled programmed with only one "m." 17 just here identifying what the off-site 17 Or does it only have one "m"? 18 areas are that are being addressed? 18 Q. It has two. But it could actually be 19 A. Yes, ma'am. I'm just trying to 19 two because you have a little scribble 20 understand so that when someone said 20 by it. 21 off-site versus on-sites 1 know what 21 A. All right then. Apparently it's a 22 they're talking about. 22 systematic statistical approach to it. 23 Q. Okay. And that says, "We have pretty 23 Q. And it says that "We looked for PCBs and Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 109-112 WATER PCB-SD0000004152 Page 113 Page 115 1 metals. We also sampled lake bottom and 1 A. As 1 recall, yes, ma'am. 2 fish in Choccolocco and the lake" and 2 Q. But at the time of this first meeting 3 that "fish showed better than 2 ppm 3 there was just a general discussion 4 PCBs." So if in fact the FDA acceptable 4 about fish levels? 5 limit is 2 ppm, then these notes 5 A. That's correct. 6 demonstrate that the fish are in 6 Q. Amongst yourselves? 7 exceedance of FDA limits, right? 7 A. Yeah. The parties mentioned earlier on. 8 A. Yes, they do. Now that 1 have them in 8 Q. And then you say "risk of mass removal 9 front of me to refer to, yes. 9 is in," open quote, backwater, close 10 Q. Then it says, "In lake we find less than 10 quote, "where Snow Creek enters 11 2 ppm in the fish," which would be below 11 Choccolocco." What does that mean? 12 the FDA limits, right? 12 A. That's the first time 1 had heard the 13 A. If you remind me and 1 can accept that 2 13 term in that context. In Other times 14 ppm is the limit. 1 just don't recall. 14 I've heard it used by USACE as a 15 Q. Okay. Then you say, "We find PCBs only 15 backwater port or something. That's on 16 in deep samples by dam. In Choccolocco 16 the Mississippi. But this refers to 17 we find increasing PCB levels in fish as 17 waters upstream of the intersection of 18 we move upstream." And 1 can't tell if 18 Snow Creek in Choccolocco Creek. 19 that says less than or greater than 8 19 Q. What is meant by that whole sentence? 20 ppm. 20 A. It means that there's a risk of mass 21 A. It's actually less than 8 ppm. There's 21 removal in the backwater where Snow 22 a little approximation sign on top. 22 Creek enters Choccolocco Creek. It's 23 Q. But does that mean it was greater than 2 23 not a done -- decided issue at this Page 114 Page 116 1 ppm? 1 point. 2 A. It means that some were greater than 2 2 Q. 1 guess 1 just don't know - understand 3 and less than 8. 3 fully what that sentence means. Do you 4 Q. "However, levels have been coming down"? 4 mean that there's some risk if you don't 5 A. Correct. 5 remove the mass? Is that what that 6 Q. Mr. Smith testified yesterday that at 6 means? Or does it mean something else? 7 one of these meetings -- and 1 can't 7 A. No. It means that there's a risk that 8 remember which one -- there was actually 8 it may be necessary to remove the mass. 9 a chart that had been put together that 9 It doesn't say that there's a risk if we 10 showed fish levels over time. Did you 10 don't. View it in the opposite 11 remember such a chart? 11 direction, if you will - 12 A. Yes, 1 do. You recall 1 said there was 12 Q. All right. 13 a subsequent meeting that took place 13 A. It's not known to be necessary. 14 over two days and 1 had entered into 14 Q. Has any determination been made since 15 some discussion with respect to fish 15 this February meeting that in fact mass 16 levels? That was the occasion. 16 does need to be removed in the backwater 17 Q. Okay. And at that meeting, at least 17 area where Snow Creek enters Choccolocco 18 according to Mr. Smith's testimony, he 18 Creek? 19 said there were also some consultants 19 A. Recognizing that my last briefing on 20 present - 20 this in detail over a period of two days 21 A. Yes, there were. 21 was nominally April, and recognizing 22 Q. -- at that later meeting? And that's 22 that presumably there will be some other 23 when that chart was presented? 23 such briefing in the future, but 1 will Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 113-116 WATER PCB-SD0000004153 Page 117 Page 119 1 be more knowledgeable in between time, 1 containment of beachwater," and then in 2 but this might shift with respect to 2 parens you say "beachwater is in Oxford, 3 Mr. Branchfield --1 don't know of any 3 as is Anniston WTP, which has 4 such issue at this point in time. 4 contaminated sediments in a pile and in 5 Q. It then goes on to say that "We are 5 ponds." 6 doing more sampling at this point." So 6 A. Actually, it's backwater. 7 at least as of February that was just an 7 Q. I'm sorry. It is backwater. 1 should 8 issue that was being looked at further, 8 have known that from that other 9 correct? 9 backwater. 10 A. That's correct. 10 So, again, this is saying that 11 Q. Then it says, "We also have PCBs in 11 there may be a need to remove this area, 12 related floodplain, which we wish to 12 but 1 guess not only is -- where Snow 13 convert to conservation corridor until 13 Creek enters Choccolocco but also in 14 backwater." What does that mean? 14 Oxford and the Anniston waste treatment 15 A. 1 guess "until" implies time; 1 used it 15 plant? 16 to imply physical distance here. 16 A. Actually they are separate issues. In 17 Q. Okay. So the conservation corridor 17 the first sentence it refers back up to 18 would be in a location up to where that 18 the same thing above, where -- the mass 19 -- where Snow Creek enters Choccolocco? 19 removal in the backwater issue. Then 20 A. That's what this sentence -- 20 this next sentence, the parenthetical 21 Q. Okay. What is your understanding of 21 portion --1 guess the parentheses 22 this conservation corridor proposal? 22 either ran out on this page or 1 wasn't 23 A. 1 learned more about the conservation 23 consistent in closing my parentheses. Page 118 Page 120 1 corridor in April. At the time of this 1 But in any case, that's just a 2 meeting 1 knew very little about it 2 geographical description of where stuff 3 other than what the note reflects. But 3 is. 4 the conservation corridor is a form of 4 Q. Okay. Do you know what the levels are 5 institutional control, if you will. It 5 of contaminated sediments in these piles 6 would prevent migration of sediments or 6 and ponds? 7 soils on the banks to become sediments 7 A. No. I'm sure if you had a report 1 8 and would limit exposure of people as 8 could read it or 1 could ask Craig a 9 well. 9 question, but 1 don't know at the 10 Q. Would it be less expensive for Solutia 10 moment. 11 to have a conservation corridor program 11 Q. Okay. Then we go to page 3 of your 12 in place than it would be to dredge 12 notes, three or four, which says 13 Choccolocco Creek? 13 "Construction at WTP" -- which am 1 14 A. 1 don't know. 1 have not seen the 14 correct that stands for waste treatment 15 numbers for both cases. 15 plant? 16 Q. Have there been any discussions within 16 A. That's right. 17 Solutia that either Snow Creek or 17 Q. -- "is a sore point." What was the 18 Choccolocco Creek should be dredged? 18 discussion about the construction at the 19 A. 1 don't recall those discussions. I'm 19 waste treatment plant? 20 sorry. 1 had to think back just to be 20 A. Well, it describes it here. There's one 21 accurate for you, but 1 don't recall any 21 issue if EPA removes it and who might 22 such discussions. 22 pay for it. It says we are the target. 23 Q. Then says, "We may need removal or 23 "We are target if EPA removes the pile." Felder, Jeffrey D.

No. Other than it's obviously something 3 And it says that we might be able to 3 less than the 15 million dollar 4 recover from the contractor's insurer. 4 estimates if the EPA were to do it. 5 Q. Okay. Who are the parties, as far as 5 Q. But you don't have any idea how much it 6 your understanding, that may have some 6 would cost if you guys do it yourselves? 7 responsibility for the waste treatment 7 A. No. Nor do 1 know precisely what the 8 plant area, other than yourselves? 8 cost of recovery might be. 9 A. I'm not sure we have a responsibility. 9 Q. Then it says, "We are nearly done 10 Obviously, the EPA may think we do. But 10 removal at ball fields near Snow Creek 11 in any case, the other parties are the 11 and in floodplain." Is that the Oxford 12 people who own and operate the waste 12 ball field removal project? 13 treatment plant, the contractor who put 13 A. Yes, ma'am. It is. And if you recall, 14 this material there to begin with, and 14 1 mentioned either Mike or Craig, who 15 then some contractor that was involved 15 was driving, showed us those ball fields 16 subsequent to that in moving it around 16 during the course of the same visit. 17 to apparently expand or otherwise change 17 Q. Right. Then we skip to another 18 the capacity of the waste treatment 18 paragraph. It says, "USEPA and ADEM are 19 plant. 19 at loggerheads, as EPA only wants 20 Q. Where is this project at this stage? Do 20 certain projects whereas ADEM is pretty 21 you know? 21 much, 'all or nothing.'" 22 A. 1 think it's moving very slowly due to 22 What was the discussion with 23 the reasons -- as 1 understand -- the 23 respect to the differences between EPA's 1 2 3 4 5 Q. 6 7 8 9 10 A. 11 12 13 Q. 14 15 16 A. 17 18 19 Q. 20 A. 21 Q. 22 23 A. Page 122 operators of the waste treatment plant 1 themselves. 1 don't mean the people 2 mechanically turning the valves but the 3 A. owner/operator. 4 Sure. And is it your understanding at 5 this point that you guys are going to 6 try and move forward to negotiate a cost 7 sharing rather than having EPA begin 8 removal? 9 We would certainly prefer to do that if 10 Q. we can come to agreement with the people 11 involved. 12 And the reason you prefer to do that is 13 it may end up costing you guys a lot 14 A. less money. 15 The other reason we wish to do it is 16 we'd like to move things along in the 17 Q. community. 18 Would it also cost you guys less money? 19 I'd suggest that it would. 20 A. Do you know what the cost would be to 21 Solutia if EPA didn't remove the pile? 22 Q. If EPA didn't remove the pile? 23 A. Page 124 views and ADEM's views at this meeting you attended? As 1 understood it and my notes reflect it -- and this is not an atypical thing; 1 have seen this in other jurisdictions during my prior remediation experience -- There is some dispute between the competent authorities as to who was responsible for oversight of what. And when you say that "EPA only wants certain projects," do you know which particular projects it is that EPA is trying to get accomplished? No, 1 don't. I'd have to go back and look at whatever documents Craig might have in his office or Steve in his. And do you know what specifically ADEM is asking for when you make that statement, "all or nothing"? Just what Craig briefed me on at the time. Which was? It was all or nothing. Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 121 -124 WATER PCB-SD0000004155 Page 125 Page 127 1 Q. Okay. Next paragraph, "Highway 21 1 Q. Okay. First of all, do you know who the 2 bridge of over Choccolocco Creek is 2 other PRPs are with respect to Snow 3 being added to existing bridge. We will 3 Creek? 4 have to excavate for one" - 1 can't 4 A. 1 don't at this moment, no. 5 read that other word. 5 Q. Then where you say that you propose to 6 A. "Bent." 6 pave the rest, have you heard anything 7 Q. There is also excavation along utility 7 about a concrete liner being used for 8 corridor.

Page 126 Do you know what the level is of PCBs 1 A. that are in that highway area? 2 Q. No, 1 don't. 3 Do you know the volume of PCBs? 4 1 think there's some discussion around 5 that. It depends on the design for the 6 one bent. 7 A. Do you know -- Strike that. Why is it 8 that Solutia agreed to cost share on 9 this project on the highway? 10 I'm sure we must feel we have some level 11 of responsibility for it or that someone 12 else felt that way and it was more 13 effective to work together than to 14 argue. 15 Q. Okay. Next you say, "We are into 16 corrective measures in parts of Snow 17 Creek (other parts are paved); we 18 propose to pave the rest, but there will 19 A. be some removal. However, there are 20 other PRPs." By "PRPs," you mean 21 potentially responsible parties? 22 Yes, ma'am. That's exactly what 1 mean. 23 Q. Page 128 Yes, ma'am. It is. Next we're on to page 4 of your handwritten notes. Says, "Potential holder for conservation corridor are concerned as to preexisting contamination." What is meant by that? Precisely what it says, that the people that -- the people that develop or hold these conservation corridors are typically conservation groups who depend on contributions, grants, and the like. And it means just what they say, they are concerned as to preexisting contamination. Is there any proposal that prior to getting these easements that there would be some cleanup before the easements were put in place -We're still -- I'm sorry. Forgive me. We're still working with these people. So 1 think that's an issue that's up in the air. As far as you know, have any easements Felder, Jeffrey D.

In April 1 was not aware of any. 1 may 2 learn some at the time of our next 3 meeting. 4 Then it says, "Dave Cain says he and 5 Craig are working just fine together." 6 And then 1 can't read your next word. 7 Q. Well, another term of art. You said 8 A. objections, and 1 didn't know what you 9 meant. "Commo" means communications. 10 And then says -- so it's communications 11 and all. What do you mean by "and all"? 12 It literally means they're working well 13 together. There was a specific question 14 that someone else --1 have forgotten 15 Q. who -- had nominated to me as to whether 16 they are communicating well. 17 A. And you just wanted to make sure they 18 were, and they were? 19 Part of my responsibility. Yes, ma'am. 20 Last paragraph, "CERCLA AOCs include 21 Q. most of on-site, but include far, far 22 more. Generally they are homes in the 23 A. Page 131 1 looked yesterday, but between yesterday and today, it's just as well to refresh our memory to be accurate for your purposes. Let's see. The 2001 budget on what's entitled page 1. Right. There is a percentage for conservation corridor. 1 guess we must be done at the First Missionary Baptist Church, or at least not expecting to spend anything in 2001. There's a property purchase item for 2001 that says three percent but -- That's a purchase rather than a cleanup, right? That's what it says. But in fairness, that might also be other properties besides residential. 1 believe you asked me expressly about residential. Right. It could be commercial, for example.

You say in parens, "This is the" 19 Q. Well, you want to take a look at the 19 -- you had AOC and crossed it out to 20 budgets that are attached here and see 20 ACO. Did you mean AOC or ACO? 21 if you see anything that addresses that? 21 A. No. 1 meant AOCs. There are apparently 22 A. Let's do that. 22 several different forms and order. One 23 Q. Because frankly, 1 haven't even looked. 23 is called AOC and another is called ACO. Felder, Jeffrey D.

Page 133 And then of course there are things under CERCLA. So there are different formats that one can operate. But basically the debate here is the extent to which cleanup will be done. And there's some disagreement between what EPA may want and what you guys may think is appropriate? That's certainly true. There was also, appears from the notes, some debate between ACO versus dissent decree versus CERCLA. As to what kind of government? Yes, ma'am. Lastly, you say that "There is also a Ninth Street ditch AOC for which we feel we ought not to be responsible. We are only willing to characterize it." 1 guess the first question 1 had is why is it that you guys don't feel you're responsible for that Ninth Street ditch area? 1 believe we didn't feel -- I'm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Q. 16 17 18 A. 19 20 21 Q. 22 23 Page 135 remarked as he was showing us around that one time Anniston had been a major foundry center. 1 have personal knowledge of FMC's operations, as to what they made and did there, at least when they were making armored personnel carriers and tank turrets and the like and several other industrial operations, which frankly are going to violate my other obligations to discuss. And they said there were plenty of other users of PCBs for other purposes, and from my understanding from Craig, served a lot of folks. Do you have any personal knowledge that you can share with respect to FMC's potential use of PCBs? No. But they ran foundry operations, and PCBs were used at several points in time as binders for castings for sand. Have you actually examined any of FMC's: records to determine to what extent if any PCBs were used? Page 134 Page 136 1 reconstructing this from the notes -- 1 A. No, 1 have not. But please understand 2 that we contributed to it in some 2 I'm not suggesting that FMC did or 3 manner. Our normal habit pattern in my 3 didn't.

KELLY: Object to the form, 9 PCBs, do you, Mr. Felder? 10 object to the assumption, 10 A. 1 don't personally. 1 wasn't suggesting 11 PCBs. 11 they had done. Please let me be clear. 12 Q.

Foundries use PCBs; FMC and others had 14 PCB issue to your understanding? 14 foundries. 15 A. Apparently so. 15 Q. But again, you haven't examined the 16 Q. Okay. Then I'm going to reask my 16 records to have any specifics that you 17 question. 17 can share with the jury? 18 Do you have any idea as to what 18 A. It's not part of my normal duties.

All right. So we have now covered all 2 Q. So site history as far as this meeting 3 your handwritten notes from the first 3 went was really more just current 4 meeting. 1 did not see any handwritten 4 history? 5 notes from this last meeting. Did you 5 A. Yes. 1 should tell you, however, that 6 take notes from that last meeting? 6 outside this context 1 do know various 7 A. 1 don't recall having done so. 1 did 7 products that we made there. 8 search my files thoroughly at 8 Q. Let me ask you this: Do you know 9 Mr. Kelly's instructions. 9 whether or not mercury was used at the 10 Q. And you didn't find any? 10 Anniston plant? 11 A. No, ma'am. 1 did not. 11 A. 1 am told that it was, but 1 don't have 12 Q. Do you remember as we sit here now 12 personal knowledge of that. 13 taking notes during that meeting? 13 Q. Who -- and if it's a lawyer, 1 don't 14 A. 1 don't recall. 14 want to know anything more. But was it 15 Q. May have, may not have? 15 a lawyer that told you that or somebody 16 A. If 1 did, 1 surely didn't retain them. 16 else? 17 1 searched the files diligently. 17 A. 1 believe that 1 read some -- read an 18 Q.

We 1 made involves mercury. So it would not 2 had talked about that before. That's 2 surprise me, but 1 don't have personal 3 where y'all actually got in the cars and 3 knowledge of it. 4 went and looked at some of these 4 Q. Do you recall who the author was of that 5 off-site area that are listed as well as 5 e-mail? 6 the near site areas that are listed, 6 A. No, 1 don't; I'm sorry. 7 correct? 7 Q. Okay. Then you went - Then the next 8 A. Yes, that's correct. 8 part of the agenda talks about 9 Q. What was discussed during this overview 9 discussion of ongoing activities, and 10 of site history presentation from 2:30 10 that's got four items, and those 1 think 11 to 3:00, just in a nutshell?

Well, 1 guess what I'm trying to 16 attached budgets? 17 figure out is how far back in time did 17 A. Yes, ma'am. 18 y'all talk? For example, did you talk 18 Q. Then other issues, do you remember what 19 about the manufacturing processes used 19 was discussed in that category? 20 at the Anniston plant and things like, 20 A. No. I'm sorry, 1 don't.

No, 1 don't recall what 1 ate. 1 wasn't going to ask what you ate; 1 was going to ask you where you went. 1 don't recall that either. I'm sorry. 1 need a good restaurant recommendation. 1 don't recall; I'm sorry. Let's skip then to what's entitled "Anniston Remedial Projects," "January 2001," "Monthly Report." Who prepared this document? There's no name on there so I'm not sure. 1 would guess that Craig did, but it is only a guess, based on his job responsibilities. Okay. And 1 guess what 1 want to find out is are there monthly reports for subsequent months that cover these same Anniston remedial projects? For example, would there be a February one, a March one, et cetera? There may be. 1 don't have them. 1 looked through all my Anniston files, 1 Q. 2 3 4 5 6 7 A. 8 9 Q. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 A. 20 Q. 21 22 A. 23 Page 143 1 don't really think 1 want to go --1 think this all is fairly self-explanatory. Let me just take a quick glance at this and see if 1 have any specific questions about the first page. I'll take a drink, if 1 may, in the meanwhile. Certainly. 1 do have a question on the fourth bullet point under EPA AOC. It talks about, "Received EPA's database which includes all sample results from EPA's residential and commercial property sampling programs in the Anniston area. This data has been integrated into our database." And my question is, what database are you referring to that you guys have? 1 didn't write this report. Okay. Do you know the database that has this type of information? Internal - Sorry. I'm not aware of who keeps it nor in what form it's kept, but Page 142 Page 144 1 both electronic and paper. But Steve 1 obviously we're developing an exposure 2 Smith sits around the corner from me, 2 database. Whether it's through Richard 3 and Craig is only a phone call away. So 3 or Roux or Craig, 1 don't know. But my 4 1 wouldn't probably, because of space 4 solution is if 1 needed it would be to 5 limitations, keep paper on everything or 5 call Craig. But, if you recall, 1 said 6 electronics on everything. 6 earlier on, in order to do risk 7 MS. MALOW: We would just request 7 assessment you need exposure data and 8 that we get all of those. 8 you need hazard data. And this goes to 9 MR. KELLY: They are periodically 9 exposure. 10 produced.

From whom 9 Q. (By Ms. Malow) Mr. Felder, 1 now want 10 were you either expecting comments or 10 to look at what is entitled "Anniston 11 who is that referring to about no 11 Remedial Projects," "List of Key 12 comments? 12 Personnel," page 1.

Page 150 Page 152 1 Moving to the next page, 1 MR. KELLY: Object to the form. 2 Fleishman-Hilliard is a public relations 2 A. 1 would hope so. 1 think we deserve it. 3 firm, right? 3 Q. (By Ms. Malow) Okay. And then do you 4 A. Yes, ma'am. They are. 4 know why is it that these various 5 Q. What about Townsend & Bradley? Is that 5 community leaders are listed? 6 also a public relations firm? 6 A. Well, this is put together to educate 7 A. Well, it says it's a government affairs 7 Steve and me so we would know with whom 8 firm. 8 we are working. 9 Q. Okay. Then what about Holland & Knight? 9 Q. And for Robert Downing it says Calhoun 10 Is that a public relations firm? 10 County Commission, "liberal, but good 11 A. 1 don't know. It simply says "DC," 11 relationship." Does that mean his party 12 which is my usual abbreviation for 12 is liberal? That he's a Democrat? 13 District of Columbia. 13 A. 1 don't know whether he's a Democrat or 14 Q. But you don't know what type of firm 14 a Republican. 1 just took it down as it 15 that is? 15 was explained to me. Is there a liberal 16 A. No. It's apparently miscellaneous when 16 party in this country? 17 judging by where it's placed on this 17 Q. All right. 1 get to ask the questions. 18 list. But 1 don't know specifically. 18 A. Sorry. 19 Q. Why is it that all of these PR firms are 19 Q. Sheet 1. There's a bunch of notes. And 20 involved? 20 I'm going to have to get you to explain 21 A. Don't know. 21 some of these because 1 can't read your 22 Q. Have you had any contact with any of the 22 writing very well. 23 PR firms? 23 First of all, what is Sheet 1 ? Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 149-152 WATER PCB-SD0000004162 Page 153 Page 155 1 Can you explain it? 1 Q. Right. But I'm saying your 2 A. Yes, ma'am. 1 can. 2 parenthetical corresponds with the 3 Q. Okay. 3 ALDOT? 4 A. Sheet 1 is an assembly of various bits 4 A. Yes, ma'am. 5 and pieces of the project. And actually 5 Q. Then you have circled the figure under 6 if you look at the pie charts later -- 6 current forecast for the Quintard Mall. 7 Now -- I'm looking at this thing now. 7 There's a note -- Does it's say "scope 8 It seems to match up. And so it shows 8 change"? 9 what the budget is. And of course, you 9 A. Exactly. 10 might have a budget, but you may or 10 Q. Does that mean that it's probably going 11 might not need to spend it, or make sure 11 to -- that figure is going to change due 12 you have enough money. So there's a 12 to the scope changing of the project? 13 probability as to whether we're going to 13 A. 1 think what it means is that's an 14 spend it given a period of time. 14 explanation as to why it differs from 15 Q. Okay. Let me ask you a question before 15 what the budget and the weighted -- the 16 you move on. Why does it say zero 16 averages were. 17 percent probability for conservation 17 Q. Then there's a little note that's got a 18 corridor? 18 triangle. Says triangle, something, 19 A. Well, it's a 2001 budget. 19 conservation corridor. What does that 20 Q. Okay. So it's just you doubt if that's 20 mean? 21 going to come to fruition in 2001? 21 A. Delta, meaning the difference went to 22 A. Yeah. If you look at some of the other 22 the conservation corridor. So in other 23 notes, it says due to delay in 2000, 23 words, we moved money from the phase of Page 154 Page 156 1 2001, et cetera. 1 the project called "Off Site RFI" to 2 Q. All right. Then what does "weighted 2 conservation corridor. 3 average" mean? 3 Q. Then under air monitoring it's got a 4 A. It's the mathematical product of the 4 little paren, 2. And then next to the 5 budget times the probability converted 5 current forecast it says "discontinued." 6 to a decimal rather than a percentage. 6 Why was that discontinued? 7 Q. And then current what? 7 A. 1 don't know. 8 A. Forecast. 8 Q. Then what does S-W-A-G stand for under 9 Q. Forecast. Okay. Which means? 9 the property purchase current forecast 10 A. Which means where we are exactly at that 10 figure? 11 point in time. 11 A. It's another term of art, Scientific 12 Q. That's actual dollars spent to date? 12 Wild Ass Guess. It means it's not a 13 A. No. It's actual dollars expected to be 13 very good number. We're not certain of 14 spent. And sometimes they differ from 14 it. 15 the probability. Things don't always 15 Q. 1 like that one. Let's see. Then you 16 turn out as you originally expected. 16 have got a note that says plus 800 K 17 Q. Okay. Then let's go to the first thing 17 disposal cost to Emelle. Does that 18 where it says, "due to delay in 2000 to 18 correspond with the Oxford Park number? 19 2001." Does that correspond to the 19 A. Yes, it does. 20 ALDOT entry? Is that where that goes? 20 Q. Do you have familiarity with that whole 21 A. It's Alabama Department of 21 project that was done at the west end 22 Transportation, as 1 understand it. And 22 landfill that 1 deposed Mr. Foresman 23 1 believe that relates to the bridge. 23 about where part of the toe of the Felder, Jeffrey D.

No, 1 don't. 3 being negotiated. 1 don't think that 4 Q. You have no knowledge of that? 4 the AOC has been signed as yet. 5 A. No, ma'am. 1 don't. Other than the 5 Q. What is your understanding of the two 6 fact it was done. 6 million dollar community goodwill? 7 Q. All you know is X amount of dollars were 7 A. What 1 was told was that in addition to 8 expended? 8 the normal course of things that one 9 A. To be honest, until 1 received this, 1 9 would do in a remediation which might 10 had no knowledge of that, my first 10 include oversight fees, that the agency 11 briefing on the project. 11 wanted us to do certain things that 12 Q. Then this little note about consent 12 might reasonably be put under the 13 orders. 1 think it says "& AOCs" or 13 category of goodwill, having nothing to 14 consent order "for AOCs"? Is that what 14 do with remediation. 15 that says under EPA investigation 15 Q. Any idea what types of things are being 16 forecast number? 16 considered? 17 A. That's right. 17 A. 1 think that 1 remember from a prior 18 Q. And then "report only" for north side. 18 conversation actually --1 heard a 19 What does that mean? 19 number of things being discussed. And 20 A. It means it only funds the report, 20 frankly, 1 suggested that the community 21 nothing more. 21 might be better served with a different 22 Q. Then that last figure for current 22 sort of program. And it would be more 23 forecast, which is the total figure that 23 sustainable for them. And 1 think some Page 158 Page 160 1 you have got a note that says, "as of 1 of these things are still on the table. 2 January 01"? Or 2001, right? 2 1 don't know there's a final resolution 3 A. Yes, ma'am. 3 one way or the other. 4 Q. And then you have also circled the 4 Q. What sort of program are you proposing? 5 weighted average for the total, and that 5 A. At the time we had talked about training 6 says 2001 budget cycle? 6 programs. 7 A. That's right. 7 Q. What kind of training program? 8 Q. Read me what your handwritten notes sa)' 8 A. At the time 1 think the agency were 9 at the bottom of this page? 9 talking about job training for limited 10 A. It says but EPA/DEM, which 1 take to be 10 purpose. 1 think this thing has evolved 11 ADEM, are looking for 1, three point 11 over time though where as much as 12 five million dollars oversight fees. 2, 12 anything else the agency was telling us 13 approximately two million dollars 13 what they would like us to do. 14 community goodwill. 14 Q. What is your present understanding of 15 Q. What is your understanding of what those 15 what the agency is recommending? 16 oversight fees are? 16 A. I'm not sure at this point. There have 17 A. Typically in a remediation project the 17 been several different things on the 18 agencies that are exercising oversight 18 table. 19 try -- or may try, depends on the 19 Q. 1 just am a little fuzzy on what you 20 circumstances, to recover what they 20 mean by "job training." 21 believe their internal costs for their 21 A. The agency, as 1 remember it -- and it's 22 oversight is. 22 not reflected in my notes -- had asked 23 Q. Has Solutia now redone the budget to 23 for a number of different things, one of Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 157-160 WATER PCB-SD0000004164 Page 161 Page 163 1 which is they wanted to train people to 1 A. You have used two different words. You 2 do remediation work. There may be other 2 said "authority" and "recommend." He 3 issues, or there may have been other 3 certainly recommends. 4 issues. 4 Q. Okay. Well, let me break it into two 5 Q. So it's not job training for the 5 questions. 6 neighbors? 6 Does Mr. Branchfield have the 7 A. 1 think it was job training for people 7 authority to determine which remedial 8 in Anniston. Whether they were 8 projects should be implemented? 9 physically direct neighbors or others, 1 9 A. Within limits, yes. 10 don't know. But it was community 10 Q. What is his authority? 11 goodwill specifically. 11 A. I'd have to go back and ask for the 12 Q. Let's go to what's entitled "Summary 12 accountants to pull up his delegation of 13 Graph," "Anniston Summary 2001." What 13 authority. 14 does that depict? 14 Q. Does he have a number, authority number? 15 A. Well, my color blindness isn't going to 15 A. 1 suspect he does. 1 don't know what it 16 help very much. Nonetheless, the black 16 might be, nor do 1 know whether Mike may 17 bars are the forecasts. The yellow is 17 have held him more closely than that. 18 actual. Craig did that for my benefit, 18 That's not the way 1 would operate. 19 1 guess. And since this was done for a 19 Q. That's what 1 was going to ask you. Now 20 February 7th meeting, we only had 20 that he is going to be your direct 21 actuals for one month. 21 report functionally, how do you -- how 22 Q. Right. Okay. So this is just sort of 22 would you handle dealing with the 23 projections of costs? 23 authority that Mr. Branchfield will have Page 162 Page 164 1 A. That's right. 1 with respect to the Anniston remedial 2 Q. Then we get to the pie graphs that we 2 projects? 3 looked at briefly earlier. And 1 guess 3 A. My normal mode of operation, unless the 4 there are two pages. The first one is 4 comptrollership advised me that I'm 5 just the budget at the top. But you 5 required to do differently, would be to 6 have got one 2001 budget, and there's 6 delegate sufficient authority to match 7 several different projects, 1 guess, 7 his responsibility. 8 that have percentages assigned to them, 8 Q. And what is his responsibility level? 9 correct? 9 A. His responsibility is implementation of 10 A. Yes, ma'am. 10 the tactics for this plant. 11 Q. All right. Let me see if 1 have any 11 Q. So does Mr. Branchfield have within his 12 questions about that. 12 discretion -- Let's say he says, "You 13 Who makes the determination as to 13 know what; 1 think we should dredge Snow 14 how much gets budgeted for each of these 14 Creek." Will he have that discretionary 15 projects? 15 authority to make that determination? 16 A. Well, these budgets were done by Mike 16 A. 1 suppose that would depend on how much 17 Foresman, I'm sure, with input from 17 it cost to dredge Snow Creek. But he 18 Craig. 18 would certainly have the authority to 19 Q. Does Craig Branchfield have the 19 recommend it and to explain why it was 20 authority to make determinations as to 20 appropriate. 21 the appropriate -- or as to the types of 21 Q. Okay. And then who would have the final 22 remedial projects he recommends for the 22 say as to whether or not that particular 23 Anniston site? 23 remedial project should be undertaken? Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 161 -164 WATER PCB-SD0000004165 Page 165 Page 167 1 A. Depending on the dollar amount, 1 might 1 Certainly on the finance committee; 1 2 or someone senior to me. Or because of 2 don't recall whether he's on the board 3 an additional complications called the 3 of directors or not. I'm sorry. 4 Solutia Management Company, it might 4 Q. What is your level of authority in terms 5 have to be done - handled by the board 5 of monies that you can expend without 6 of directors of FMCI. 6 having to go to your boss? 7 Q. What is the Solutia Management Company? 7 A. It depends on the arena. And 1 would 8 A. Solutia Management Company -- This is 8 literally take out my authority sheet, 9 going to be very difficult because 1 9 or since they are being revised because 10 can't explain it conceptually to you; 1 10 of my job change, 1 would give it to the 11 was not involved in setting it up. 11 accountant responsible for that and ask 12 But circa 1998 there was a company 12 the question before 1 -- 13 set up that is responsible for 13 Q. Do you have any idea what it would be 14 implementation of remediation of certain 14 for Anniston? 15 U.S. projects, because that was the law 15 A. 1 apologize. 1 don't at this moment. 16 then extant. And so projects that came 16 Q. Well, can you ball park it? 1 mean, do 17 in after that date are not part of 17 you have, for example, authority to 18 FMCI's funds, and they are funded 18 approve something that cost 10 million 19 directly by Solutia rather than through 19 dollars without going to Jerry Hayden? 20 this partially-owned company. 20 A. 1 doubt it. 21 Projects that are outside the U.S. 21 Q. How about a million dollars? 22 can't be funded through it. In the 22 A. 1 doubt it. 23 event -- It's simply a different level 23 Q. So you think once we get over six Page 166 Page 168 1 of authority, to your question. 1 figures, you would have to go up the 2 Q. But since the Anniston project was 2 chain? 3 ongoing prior to 1998, that's why the 3 A. 1 think that, but it might be that given 4 Solutia Management Company is involved? 4 the organizational changes that have 5 A. In some portions. But if there were 5 taken place, the delegation might be 6 some new piece that was not in the scope 6 done differently for me. I'm not sure 7 then, my understanding of the tax 7 at this moment; it's being worked 8 implications is that it would have to be 8 through by the accounting community. 9 funded separately, directly by Solutia. 9 Q. How much more monetary authority do you 10 Q. And how many people are in the Solutia 10 think you have versus Mr. Branchfield? 11 Management Company? 11 A. Probably a factor of at least two, maybe 12 A. There's a board of directors. 12 a factor of ten. But 1 don't know that. 13 Q. Does the board of directors have on it 13 Purely speculative on my part based on 14 anyone who's a Solutia employee? 14 other experiences outside of 15 A. Steve Smith, myself. 15 remediation. 16 Q. Are you on - 16 Q. What does the pie graph represent at the 17 A. Yes, ma'am. Jerry Hayden, whom 1 17 bottom of page 1 ? 18 mentioned earlier. 18 A. That's the expected. Budgets are 19 Q. Who else? 19 typically put together five, six, seven, 20 A. 1 don't recall what the various people's 20 four months prior to the end of a given 21 functions might be, because there's also 21 calendar and fiscal year, which in our 22 a finance committee. And Jim Sullivan 22 case are the same. And then during the 23 is in the finance community. He is 23 course of the year, as one gets new Felder, Jeffrey D.

You don't redo the 2 anything else. The budget is a 3 budget, but you do reforecast it. So 3 constant. Forecast would shift. 4 that's an expectation. 4 Q. So the budget is going to keep -- Is 5 Q. Then we go to page 2, which is the 5 going to remain exactly as it is on page 6 actuals for just January at the top and 6 1, but you might add a new category to 7 then actuals to date, which wouldn't be 7 this 2001 EAC - 8 much more, right, because the meeting 8 A. The budget would be the same; the 9 was in February? 9 forecast might be different. 10 A. At that point in time, that's correct. 10 Q. All right. Let's move to something 11 Q. Okay. And that actually shows what has 11 else. Actually were there any handouts 12 in fact been spent on those various 12 that you can remember --1 know you 13 projects? 13 couldn't find any notes from your second 14 A. That's right. 14 meeting, but were there any handouts 15 Q. And it looks like, for example, the 15 that you can remember from the second 16 CERCLA investigation turned out to be 16 meeting? 17 thirty percent when the budget had only 17 A. 1 don't remember. But you have got what 18 anticipated one percent? 18 1 had. 19 A. Looks to me like the budget anticipated 19 Q. All right. Now, let's talk about -- 20 one percent, and then by the time we got 20 Have we now covered, as best you can 21 around to the forecast, it had shifted 21 recall, everything that happened at that 22 to four percent. 22 first meeting that you had in February 23 Q. Right. Ultimately it ended up being 23 of 2001? Page 170 Page 172 1 thirty percent, at least in January, 1 A. As best 1 can recall, yes, we have. 2 right? 2 Q. Let's now move to the next meeting, 3 A. That's right. That's the way 1 read the 3 which according to Mr. Smith was 4 chart, in any case. 4 sometime in either March or April of 5 Q. And the Oxford Park also looks like it 5 this year. Is that your recollection as 6 was not budgeted high enough, because 6 well? 7 that one came in twenty-eight percent, 7 A. That's right. I'm sorry. 1 wouldn't 8 at least for January, right? 8 have thought March. 1 would have 9 A. Let's compare it to -- Let's see. 9 thought April or May. 10 Oxford Park. 10 Q. Regardless, it was a couple of months 11 Q. Was fifteen in the budget, and then in 11 ago? 12 the estimated it was sixteen? 12 A. That's right. 13 A. That's correct. But those are 13 Q. And what was the purpose of that second 14 percentage of totals. The total might 14 trip to Anniston? 15 have also shifted. 15 A. The second trip to Anniston was a larger 16 Q. Sure. By the time the year's up. 16 and far more detailed quarterly review. 17 A. That's right. 17 So as to be clear, the first trip was 18 Q. Okay. How often do these budgets get -- 18 done for Steve Smith's and my benefit, 19 Well, let me ask it a different way. 19 simply to acquaint us with the project, 20 Does the budget remain the same, or does 20 given the expected job changes. The 21 it ever get altered during the course of 21 second trip was part of an ongoing 22 a year?

Yes. Craig was there from people in 3 held, and this was just the first one 3 Anniston. 4 that you guys had attended? 4 Q. Who else? 5 A. More or less, yes. 5 A. 1 think Jerry Hopper joined us for a 6 Q. Has there been another one? 6 portion of the meeting. And Jerry 7 A. No, there hasn't. 7 Hopper, like Craig, is physically 8 Q. Is there one set for September? 8 located at the plant, although reporting 9 A. 1 don't know, but I'm sure if there is, 9 through Craig to me. 10 it will be put on my calendar. 10 Q. Anyone else that you can recall that was 11 Q. Are you going to now start attending 11 plant personnel? 12 those in Anniston? 12 A. During the course of the meeting there 13 A. Yes, ma'am. 1 will. 13 was a fire drill, and a number of people 14 Q. Why is it that you're not going to just 14 kind of wandered through the room. But 15 have Mr. Branchfield or Mr. -- Well, 15 no, 1 don't recall anyone else who was 16 Mr. Smith's now going to be dealing 16 an active participant from the plant. 17 administratively, so 1 understand why he 17 Q. How about outside consultants? Do you 18 wouldn't go. But 1 guess why is it that 18 recall any of them being present? 19 you feel like you need to be present for 19 A. 1 need to refer to the man's name here, 20 those? 20 if 1 may. 21 A. Those are -- at least based on one 21 Q. Sure. 22 limited experience -- meetings in which 22 A. 1 think that's the occasion which 1 met 23 we are in essence reviewing our 23 Richard Williams. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Q. 12 13 14 15 16 A. 17 Q. 18 A. 19 20 Q. 21 A. 22 23 Q.

Who was present at the meeting 11 A. that you attended - this quarterly 12 review meeting, other than Mr. Smith and 13 yourself? Anyone else from St. Louis 14 that came down? 15 Dale Wilson. 16 Any other St. Louis persons? 17 Q. Seems to me that Bob Kaley was there 18 during a portion of the meeting. 19 Was this a one-day or two-day thing? 20 A. This was a two-day meeting, as you 21 Q. mentioned earlier. 22 Okay. And who was there from the plant, 23 A. Page 176 Okay. John Loperwas present. Seems to me that Rena Ann Peck was there. And -take my glasses off for a minute. Jim Renner. I'm not certain of Jim, but 1 do believe Rena Ann was there. And Don Miller was there. Okay. And what were the consultants presenting or discussing at this quarterly review? 1 don't remember all the things that were covered, but we discussed the conservation corridor. We discussed, as 1 think we remarked earlier in this deposition, fish levels, fish PCB levels. Do you remember who it was that had prepared that chart that showed the levels over time? No, 1 don't. I'm sorry. What else do you recall being discussed in terms of topics? Snow Creek remediation. Felder, Jeffrey D.

How about the highway project? 12 1 don't recall that. The ones that 1 13 specifically recall are those that 1 14 enumerated for you. 15 Q. What else was done during this two-day 16 A. quarterly review? 17 I'm not sure 1 understand the question. 18 It was a quarterly review. 19 Q. 1 guess 1 want to know what the full 20 scope was of this quarterly review, 1 21 guess. Were there presentations made by 22 each of the consultants as to the status 23 A. Page 179 Do you remember who? I'm not sure which one. Was it someone from the firm of Lightfoot, Franklin & White? Since 1 don't know who's in the firm of Lightfoot, Franklin, & White, nor who was there, 1 can't help you. 1 apologize. Mr. Smith seemed to think it was Adam Peck. Does that ring a bell? No, it doesn't. 1 met Adam one time before, and 1 remembered him for an odd reason unrelated to this matter. 1 don't think it was Adam. 1 don't think 1 want to go there. Very simple. He attended Vanderbilt Law School on a scholarship for which my son was a finalist. All right. Let me back up to part of your training. Have you had any -attended any seminars on remediation techniques? Not lately. Page 178 Page 180 1 of the projects they were working on? 1 Q. In your past career? 2 A.

Yes, it is, as well as at other 14 epidemiological studies, we, including 15 locations. 15 our consultants, look at cause of death. 16 Q. What is the purpose of doing that 16 And if one sees a cause of death in a 17 industrial hygiene monitoring for 17 certain population, then one attempts to 18 various chemicals? 18 tie it back to cause, given exposure or 19 A.

And Jo was a 5 member of that department. She 6 A. subsequently did some work on my behalf 7 at Queeny plant. 8 I'd like to talk with you specifically 9 Q. about - We touched on this a little 10 A. bit, but 1 need to get into a little 11 Q. more detail. 1 want to talk about every 12 single PCB cleanup project that Solutia 13 is presently involved in or has been 14 involved in. And we touched on the New 15 Jersey plant. I'm blanking on the name 16 of -- it was the one we talked about in 17 detail earlier? 18 A. Kearny. 19 Kearny. Then we also talked a little 20 bit about Everett, Massachusetts. Okay. 21 Q. Are you familiar with any other 22 PCB cleanup work that Solutia has been 23 Page 196 and see what we know. I'll, of course, do my best. Okay. Let's start with the Delaware River plant, which 1 think you did mention for some other reason? Yes. 1 served at the Delaware River plant, although there was no remediation going on there at that time. And you were there when again? 1 was there from 1975 through 1978. Okay. Here's what 1 know from what the lawyers for Solutia have told us. Apparently there was what's called a past disposal area one, which consisted of an approximate three point five acre landfill that was used from 1962 until 1970. Are you familiar with that area? lam. In passing. Thank you for jogging my memory. I'd frankly forgotten. Yes. A little bit. And we were also told that that area, which I'm going to call PDA One, was used for the disposal of various organic Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 193-196 WATER PCB-SD0000004173 Page 197 Page 199 1 materials, including PCBs. And what I'm 1 A. Not to my knowledge. 2 trying to figure out is do you know what 2 Q. Do you know if the PCBs that went into 3 the source was of those PCBs at the 3 that landfill were solid or liquid? 4 Delaware River plant? 4 A. No. 1 don't know that. 5 A. Not personally, no. 5 Q. Do you know what concentration level of 6 Q. Do you have any, you know, understanding 6 PCBs was in that landfill? 7 of what could possibly have been the 7 A. No. I'm sorry, 1 don't. 8 source of the PCBs that went into that 8 Q. Do you know if that landfill was lined 9 disposal area? 9 or unlined when the PCBs were deposited? 10 A. 1 have a reasonable engineering 10 A. 1 can infer that it must not have been 11 understanding of what it might have 11 lined because it was subsequently walled 12 been, yes. 12 off and a cap put on it. And 1 learned 13 Q. What is that engineering understanding, 13 that during a recent visit pursuant to 14 reasonable engineering understanding? 14 other duties. 15 A. PCBs were commonly used, amongst other 15 Q. What is your understanding of the type 16 purposes, for heat transfer fluid. 16 of cap that's now in place on that 17 During my time at the Delaware River 17 landfill? 18 plant we had several units that employed 18 A. It's a variety of clay, as 1 understand 19 heat transfer fluid. It's not 19 it. There may be a synthetic liner 20 unreasonable to think that the two might 20 also. 1 don't know. 21 tie together. 21 Q. According to what the lawyers told us, 22 Q. Do you have any knowledge as to how -- 22 there was a final cap consisting of 23 the quantity of PCBs that were disposed 23 geocomposite clay that was placed over Page 198 Page 200 1 of at that landfill at Delaware River? 1 that area in 1994. Does that -- 2 A. No, I'm sorry. 1 don't. 2 A. That's a sort of clay, isn't it? 3 Q. Well, you should know this because you 3 Q. Okay. So is that the same thing as a 4 worked there. Is that plant located 4 high-density polyurethane cap, or is 5 near a residential neighborhood? 5 that different? 6 A. No. Well, near, please tell me. It's 6 A. It might be different; it might be 7 not adjacent to it. 7 similar. Obviously if one speaks only 8 Q. What is the closest residential 8 of high-density polyurethane, you didn't 9 neighborhood to it? 9 include the term clay. But you used a 10 A. Several miles, I'm quite sure. And, 10 different term here in describing this 11 again, neighborhood's a relative term. 11 cap as a composite clay. And 1 don't 12 They were scattered farmhouses. There's 12 know what else might be in the 13 a farmhouse across the street. 13 composite. 14 Q. Okay. And what was primarily 14 Q. Okay. And I'm just trying to figure out 15 manufactured at the plant during that 15 if the cap that is in place in Delaware 16 '62 to '70 time frame? Do you know? 16 is similar to the high-density 17 A. Yes, 1 do, because the product mix had 17 polyurethane cap that's part of the 18 not changed very much by the time 1 got 18 Anniston landfill. 19 there. We manufactured several 19 A. 1 don't know.

Let's now move to the Trenton 12 impoundment area, or also called the 13 plant in Trenton, Michigan. Do you have 13 feed pond, that had some sludge and 14 any knowledge of any PCBs that were in 14 liner soils that were impacted with 15 the soil at that Trenton plant? 15 PCBs? 16 A. No, 1 don't. 16 A. In the way in which you phrased your 17 Q. We have been told by the attorneys 17 question, no, 1 wasn't.

No. Do you know what year it might have 2 been? 3 A. 1 don't have a year. That's one of the 4 things 1 was going to ask you. 5 No. 1 may have well been there doing 6 product stewardship or other work during 7 Q. that period. 8 Do you know who within Solutia would 9 have the most knowledge about that 10 remediation work? 11 A. Without the year, no, I'm sorry 1 don't. 12 Q. Have you ever been to the Trenton plant? 13 Yes. 14 Is that located near a residential 15 A. neighborhood? 16 Q. No. 1 think it's chiefly industry 17 there. 18 A. Do you know of any PCBs that were ever 19 Q. disposed of at the Trenton plant? 20 No, 1 don't. 21 A. So if 1 ask you specific questions about 22 Q. PCB levels or capping, you wouldn't know 23 Page 208 You just knew that there was a feed pond there? 1 know that there was a feed pond, and 1 know that the feed pond is either in the process of being closed or is closed. I'm not certain which. Do you know anything about the -Solutia's construction of an on-site TOSCA landfill for the disposal of materials removed from that feed pond? No, 1 don't. No details, 1 guess then, about specific PCB waste deposited there, levels, or things of that nature? No. But 1 know all about Kearny. 1 know. But we already talked about Kearny. Sorry. Unless you want to tell me some more about Kearny. No. 1 have told you what you asked. Then let's move on to the Queeny plant, which you may have some more knowledge Felder, Jeffrey D.

No. 1 remarked earlier that when 1 22 A. Depending on how you choose to define 22 became acquainted with the Everett -- 23 near. 23 Well, that's not perfectly true. 1 had 1 Q. 2 A. 3 4 5 Q. 6 A. 7 8 Q. 9 10 A. 11 12 13 14 15 Q. 16 17 A. 18 19 20 21 22 23 Page 210 How close is the nearest resident? Golly. Four or five blocks, 1 would think, from the nearest portion of the plant. 1 call that near. Do you? Well, 1 used to be able to run it; it doubt 1 could anymore. What was manufactured at the Queeny plant when you were working there? Oh, my. When 1 worked at the Queeny plant there were some 1400 people employed. It's a fairly exhaustive list of products. I'm sure I'll be incomplete. That's okay. Just give me sort of the major ones. We manufactured salicylic acid in aspirin. We manufactured maleic anhydride. THE WITNESS: I'm sorry. Do you wish me to spell it? THE REPORTER: Maleic, spell that one. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Q. 15 16 17 18 19 A. 20 21 22 Q. 23 Page 212 been to Everett for business team meetings during my product stewardship duties. But 1 doubt 1 set foot outside the door of the conference room in pursuit of those duties. But when 1 became aware of manufacturing-related issues and remediation issues at Everett, circa '91, any PCBs were already contained. 1 remarked that my duties changed in '94. The remediation that was conducted beginning in '91-92 time frame was not yet complete. So let me go back and make sure 1 have got a clear answer. Do you have any knowledge about the Therminol furnace area where PCB-containing heat exchanged fluids were used? No. Unless you wish to show me documentation that says they are one in the same as 1 identified earlier. Well, apparently according to the information we received from your Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 209 - 212 WATER PCB-SD0000004177 Page 213 Page 215 1 counsel, it says that that area was 1 PCBs were found was called the storm 2 closed in 1987 by razing the building, 2 water lagoon area. Do you know that 3 removing the foundation and subsurface 3 area? 4 utilities, constructing a soil bentonite 4 A. No, 1 don't. 5 slurry wall and capping the area with a 5 Q. Apparently it was closed by the removal 6 multi-layer cap. Are you familiar with 6 and off-site disposal of lagoon sludges, 7 any of that remediation work? 7 the removal and off-site disposal of PCB 8 A. I'm not familiar with the remediation 8 impacted surface soils, placement of 9 work, but from your description, it 9 backfill material, and the installation 10 sounds like one in the same area, as 1 10 of a cap over the area. Are you 11 was describing earlier. 11 familiar with any of that remediation 12 Q. So let me ask you: Do you have any 12 work? 13 knowledge as to the quantity of 13 A. No. I'm not aware. 14 PCB-containing heat exchanged fluids 14 Q. So 1 guess you wouldn't know any details 15 used in that Therminol furnace area? 15 about the quantity of PCBs in that area 16 A. No, 1 don't. 16 or things of that nature? 17 Q. Do you know why the area was closed in 17 A. That's correct. 18 '87? 18 Q. Do you know when that area was closed? 19 A. Why the Therminol furnace was closed? 19 A. No, 1 don't. 20 No, 1 don't. 20 Q. Why it was closed? 21 Q. Do you know why it was necessary to raze 21 A. No. 22 the building, remove the foundation and 22 Q. Next area of the Everett plant that was 23 subsurface utilities of that Therminol 23 identified for us by your counsel was Page 214 Page 216 1 furnace area? 1 what's called the 409 building area. Do 2 A. No. I'm sorry, 1 don't. 2 you know that area? 3 Q. Do you know the cost to do those things? 3 A. No, 1 don't. I'm sorry, ma'am. 4 A. No, 1 don't. 4 Q. It says we were told it was closed by 5 Q. Do you know why a soil bentonite slurry 5 razing the building, removal, off-site. 6 wall was constructed? 6 disposal of PCB impacted sludge and 7 A. From an engineering standpoint, to 7 installation of a cap over the area. 8 contain whatever was within it. 8 Are you familiar with any of that 9 Q. And so that would be the purpose of it, 9 remediation work? 10 containment? 10 A. No, ma'am. 11 A. That would be normally the purpose, yes. 11 Q. So you wouldn't be familiar with any of 12 Q. Do you know why the area was capped with 12 the other details about that? 13 a multi-layer cap? 13 A. That's correct. 14 A. Containment. 14 Q. Do you know of any PCBs that were ever 15 Q. Do you know what type of cap it was? 15 incinerated at the Everett plant? 16 A. No, 1 don't. 16 A. I'm not aware of any. 17 Q. Do you know the cost to build the soil 17 Q. Do you know how those PCBs were 18 or bentonite slurry wall? 18 discovered in those areas? 19 A. No, 1 don't. 19 A. No, ma'am. 20 Q. Do you know the cost to cap it? 20 Q. All right. Kearny we talked about? 21 A. No, 1 don't. 21 A. Yes, ma'am. 22 Q. All right. The next area that was 22 Q. Let me just make sure 1 covered 23 identified at the Everett plant where 23 everything 1 have here. According to Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 213-216 WATER PCB-SD0000004178 Page 217 Page 219 1 what your lawyers told us, there were 1 and remove it? 2 three areas on the plant property that 2 MR. KELLY: Object to form. 3 were identified for remedial action for 3 A. Not necessarily so. 4 presence of PCBs. Surface and 4 Q. (By Ms. Malow) Why not? 5 subsurface soils were removed and the 5 A. Because there are other things that 6 areas were covered with an asphalt cap. 6 would work just as satisfactorily and 7 1 think that's sort of what we 7 would be as equally as permanent and 8 talked about before. 8 better for the world as a whole. 9 A. That is in essence what 1 said before. 9 Q. If the PCB contaminated soil is 10 The asphalt cap, if you recall from what 10 physically removed from a site, does 11 1 said before, covered a greater area 11 that one hundred percent eliminate any 12 than simply those three hot spots that 12 risk of off-gassing? 13 were -- 13 MR. KELLY: Object to the form. 14 Q. Okay. So when you talked about hot 14 A. It might, depending on what your 15 spots, that's the same as the three 15 definition of "all" is. So might other 16 areas referenced in the letter we got 16 means. PCBs -- You said off-gassing. 1 17 from the lawyers -- 17 would challenge that term from my 18 A. Exactly so. 18 knowledge of organic chemistry. Not 19 Q. And my question, which 1 don't think 1 19 specific to PCBs. But physical 20 asked earlier, is why wasn't that 20 constants apply to all materials. 21 PCP-contaminated soil sent off site? 21 Q. (By Ms. Malow) Well, is it your opinion 22 A. The portion that was capped? 22 that PCBs cannot volatilize? 23 Q. Yes. Why was it capped in place rather 23 A. 1 would say that PCBs would have a very, 1 2 3 A. 4 Q. 5 A. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Q. 13 14 15 16 17 A. 18 19 20 Q. 21 22 23 Page 218 than removing it and sending it to a place like Emelle? Because, a more rational solution. Why is it a more rational solution? Given the intended reuse of the site, and given the immobility of the PCBs in the soil, we contained it. We saved space in somebody's cell at Emelle for someone who couldn't contain it, and we put the site into beneficial re-use more rapidly. If cost were not a factor, is the most permanent solution to eliminating PCB contaminated soils to actually physically remove it? MR. KELLY: Object to the form. Very bad question to ask an engineer because everything is always a consideration. (By Ms. Malow) I'm saying let's take -Let's say money is no object. Is the most permanent solution to eliminate PCB contamination to physically dig it up 1 2 3 Q. 4 A. 5 6 7 Q. 8 9 10 11 A. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Q. 20 21 A. 22 Q. 23 Page 220 very low vapor pressure. Everything can volatilize, including us. Do PCBs in fact volatilize? By definition, we volatilize; PCBs volatilize, but very low levels by comparison to other materials. And again, you told me earlier you haven't even seen the air monitoring data done by Solutia, EPA, or the plaintiffs' experts in this case, right? That's correct. And 1 remarked several things with that regard. 1 remarked that my present comment was based on the physical properties of the various materials and immutable laws of nature. And 1 also remarked that 1 would want to see the quality control methods of analysis Sure. Do you know if PCBs were ever incinerated at the Kearny plant? Not to my knowledge. Do you know when those three hot spots were identified, what year? Felder, Jeffrey D. (Solutia employee) in ABERNATHY Pages 217 - 220 WATER PCB-SD0000004179 Page 221 Page 223 1 A. Identified, delineated. They were 1 Sauget, Illinois. Are you familiar with 2 delineated circa '92-93. 1 would have 2 the remediation work that has been done 3 to presume that there were some reason 3 at the Krummrich plant for PCB 4 to delineate those particular areas. 4 contaminate soils and sediments? 5 And 1 would say that they were first 5 A. 1 have been becoming familiar with the 6 identified the day the holes were dug 6 overall Krummrich and Sauget project 7 and the materials put in them.

What prompted that cleanup of those hot 10 responsibility as director of 11 spots. 1 may have asked that earlier. 11 environmental safety and health? 12 1 can't remember if 1 did or not. 12 A. Yes, ma'am. It is. 13 A. 1 believe you did. And 1 began to go 13 Q. Who is the point person for Krummrich? 14 briefly into the New Jersey law in that 14 A. There are actually three. And we have a 15 regard. 15 coordinating group of which 1 am part. 16 Q. Okay. 16 Q. Who are the three? 17 A. Since there was no migration, our 17 A. Steve Smith, whom you have met, Mike 18 behavior might or might not have been 18 Light, and Alan Faust. 19 different. 19 Q. And Mr. Faust used to be in Anniston? 20 Q. Do you remember if the PCBs in those 20 A. That's also correct. 21 areas were solid or liquid? 21 Q. And what is Mr. Smith's role? 22 A. When we removed the soil from those 22 A. Steve is serving two roles. Mr. Light 23 holes, we were able to separate water 23 reports to Mr. Smith, both Page 222 Page 224 1 and analyze water for PCBs. So there 1 administratively and functionally for 2 may have been some solid PCBs, but PCBs 2 these purposes. And Steve is also 3 of which I'm aware were in the water at 3 handling directly one of the two Sauget 4 low levels and decanted off. And 1 4 areas. 5 presume there were some PCBs left 5 Q. Area two? 6 adhering to the soil. But the soil 6 A. That's correct. 7 analysis was well below levels for 7 Q. 1 got a lot of detail from Mr. Smith 8 permissible disposal. 8 yesterday, so 1 probably won't ask you 9 Q. What was the total cost of the 9 very much about this, but 1 just want to 10 remediation at the Kearny plant for 10 get sort of what your involvement is now 11 those hot spots? 11 with respect to Krummrich. What role do 12 A. 1 can't tell you specific to those hot 12 you have? 13 spots. 1 have an approximate number for 13 A. Is there a question? 14 the entire remediation. 14 Q. Yeah. What role do you have? 15 Q. What was that? 15 A. I'm Steve's boss. 16 A. The entire remediation was something 16 Q. So are you just being informed as to the 17 approaching 5 million dollars. 17 activities at Krummrich, or are you 18 Q.

In the first instance --1 have been there three times. Forgive me. In the first instance 1 was becoming acquainted with the project. Sort of an orientation again? Exactly so. We looked at drawings and photos in our own offices, elsewhere, nearby and then physically did the same sort of tour.

Have you been involved in any Superfund projects where you had direct responsibility for the cleanup on Solutia's behalf? Superfund? No. So you have no Superfund sites that you have ever worked on for CERCLA? Not CERCLA sites. How about for Monsanto? Not CERCLA sites. Okay. Your group that you're responsible for that Mr. Smith is the leader of does have that involvement, correct? Yes, ma'am. Page 226 Page 228 1 we took my boss, Jerry Hayden, for the 1 Q.

There are many possible sources, as we have spoken earlier. Are you referring again to foundries? There could be any number of sources. Have you personally done any investigation to determine other sources of PCB contamination to Snow Creek besides Solutia? No. But that's not my role, nor was it previously. Is Snow Creek a source of PCB contamination to fish in Choccolocco Creek and Lake Logan Martin? It may be if sediments moved from Snow Creek to Choccolocco Creek.

Page 241 in the budgets which we have marked as Exhibit Two that specifically refers to Snow Creek? Unless 1 missed my guess, or misunderstand the history, the Quintard Mall is on Snow Creek, and Snow Creek runs under Quintard Mall. Didn't we say that earlier? Well, but the mall itself is not the creek. 1 mean, Snow Creek is separate from the mall. The mall is a physical structure that may run over the creek, but that's not the creek itself. 1 was under the impression that there were soils being associated with the mall or adjacent to the mall in the creek or the culvert or whatever it actually is at that point, but 1 think it has the name Snow Creek. Well, is that the only area of Snow Creek that Solutia plans to address according to its budget? 1 don't know. 1 2 A. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Q. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 A. 20 21 22 Q. 23 Page 243 MR. KELLY: Object to the form. 1 don't think it affects particularly today's remediation, because we have facts on the ground in terms of monitoring data. And while 1 can't tell you specifically what those results were, I'm reasonably sure that Craig Branchfield can, Dale Wilson, and the others named. And 1 think that's more germane. (By Ms. Malow) How about the people that are no longer with us that lived there during the thirty years that have expired? Do you think it may have been important to them that that had been cleaned up thirty years ago? MR. KELLY: Object to the form; speculation. 1 can't comment on that. 1 have no reason to know that it affected them whatsoever. (By Ms. Malow) Do you have any understanding or explanation for why it Page 242 Page 244 1 Q. Do you see any other portion of the 1 is that Solutia and Monsanto never acted 2 budget that addresses Snow Creek other 2 on their own consultant's recommendation 3 than your reference to the mall? 3 over thirty years ago? 4 A. No. But keep in mind there will be 4 A. 1 have -- 5 another budget done for 2002. 5 MR. KELLY: Object to the form; 6 Q.

I'm not sure of the specifics of the analytical technique, sampling technique in that instance. All right. Do you know why EPA has been overseeing the cleanup of the Oxford ball fields rather than ADEM? No, 1 don't. Do you know how much Solutia has spent to clean up the ball fields? No. But I'm sure Mr. Branchfield can tell me at a moment's notice. Maybe two moments. All right. Quintard Mall, do you know how much PCB contaminated material was> removed from the mall?

Well, didn't Monsanto have a mercury cell on site that was part of the chlorine manufacturing process? Yes. And wasn't chlorine needed to manufacture PCBs? Yes. Again, my engineering frame of reference is a bit different than the way you described it. Okay. Just because mercury is used in a closed-lid process doesn't mean that it won't be released, does it?
