P 360 699 698 April 18, 1991 Mr. Wayne Kahila Illinois Environmental 5415 North University Peoria, IL 61614 Protection Agency SUBJECT: FOLLOW-UP NOTIFICATION OF A CERCLA REPORTABLE RELEASE OF VINYL CHLORIDE (IESDA INCIDENT NUMBER 910959) Dear Mr. Kahila: Pursuant to Section 304(c) of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the BFGoodrich Company is submitting a written follow-up notification of a vinyl chloride release which occurred from its Henry, Illinois facility on Tuesday, April 9, 1991. It has been determined after further evaluation of the incident that the amount of vinyl chloride released was approximately 18.2 pounds. The following information documents the nature and extent of the release. 1. Chemical name or identity of substance involved in release: Vinyl Chloride 2. Is the substance identified on the Extremely Hazardous Substance list: No 3. Estimated quantity of release: 18.2 lbs 4. Quantity of Vinyl Chloride stored on site: 7,634,000 lbs (Maximum daily amount during 1989) 5. Time and duration of release: Tuesday, April 9, 1991 from approximately 3:14 p.m. to 3:17 p.m. 6. Date and time of IESDA/SERC Notification: Tuesday, April 19, 1991, 5:14 p.m. 14667 Media or medium into which the release occurred: Atmosphere Ambient 8. Any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks associated with the release and advice regarding medical attention for exposed individuals: The acute and chronic health effects of vinyl chloride are outlined in the attached Material Safety Data Sheet. However, there were no injuries either within or outside the Plant boundaries as a result of the release. 9. Precautions taken as a result of the release: Continuous vinyl chloride monitors in the polyvinyl chloride production building and portable organic vapor analyzers were used to determine the vinyl chloride concentration in the area of the release. No unprotected personnel entered the areas where the monitoring system indicated potential vinyl chloride exposure. 10. Actions taken in response to and to contain the release: The release occurred in the polymerizer building from the sewer drain as a result of polymerizer #31 sewer valve being partially opened while beginning a reaction in the polymerizer which contained polyvinyl chloride solution and vinyl chloride gas. It was determined that the sewer valve on the polymerizer was loose and vibrated partially open over time. Upon detection the sewer valve was closed isolating the polymerizer.
