Table I contains one very high vinyl chloride value. It has been checked for calculation accuracy and G.C. interference and found to be correct. This table also contains an estimate of the amount of butadiene for those samples in which butadiene was detected.

This overflow line is connected to a 30" main which carries our effluent to the Southwestern Outfall, a 18* x 27' sewer which is undergoing alterations by MSD. P. N.
