Cleveland | date this let f.h jjJanuary 4, 1974 Initial Plan for VC1 Vapor Sampling Program INTRODUCTION The Plan which follows outlines the VC1 vapor sampling program for the plants as we anticipate its development. It also describes the initial survey in more detail (lasting for one week) and the second phase with the OVA tests which should begin immediately afterward. More planning is needed as to methods of data analysis and to the details of the second phase of OVA sampling. We plan to complete these as early as possible next week and will keep you advised. To enable the plants to move quickly, we propose having the PIC Engineers analyze data on site. To expedite the analysis and standardize the method, we may call the PIC Engineers in for a one-day meeting unless we feel it can be adequately spelled out in a letter. PLANS 1. Overall Plan a. Survey polymerization area ( 4-5 days) b. Set up and install routine OVA sampling program (1-3 months) c. Take immediate action on high vinyl chloride locations d.._Set up and install Bendix Continuous Monitoring System e. Study other plant areas (drying, etc.) 2. Prepare Survey Plan a. Make diagram of each floor showing all equipment b. Select at least thirty points per building -- Include various possible VC1 sources 1. refer to enclosed ALGC list -- Table 1 -- as a guide (all buildings are different) 2. make list of sampling points selected and put them on the prototype data sheet attached -- Table 2 -- (show locations exactly on floor diagram) c. Prepare final data sheet for use in plant; it should appear approximately as the prototype sheet JO BfCOM-S *ev. H 70 LITHO. IN U.S.A.

Make sure equipment has been calibrated in an appropriate VC1 concentration zone according to the procedures outlined in the OVA Instruction Manual. Calibrations should be done at least once per week. Doug Rider of ALGC is preparing a standard cali bration procedure to be issued as soon as possible. Call him if you have any questions. b. Start survey immediately in all plant buildings where VC1 and/or VCI2 polymerization occurs. c. Collect 2-3 sets of data per shift, sampling all 30 (or more) points in each building. Sampling rounds should be about 2-3 hours apart. Sampling for each day may be done within one shift or across two shifts during this initial survey. However, cover all shifts equally. d. Carry survey out for 4-5 days during the first week, collecting at least ten samples at each sample point. 4. Analysis of Survey Plan (to be done within each plant by the PIC Engineer) a. Identify approximately six points per building which represent average vinyl chloride concentration at any time plus being sen sitive to upsets. (PIC Engineers will be advised how to perform this analysis.) b. Identify high vinyl chloride concentration areas so that corrective action can start immediately. If the Initial survey experienced no serious difficulties, espec_ially in performance of the OVA instrument, this completes Item ( a) in the overall plan. 5. 1-3 Month OVA Study (Item b in the Overall Plan) a. To begin during the second week. b. Sample the six points per building determined in Step 4, above. c. A detailed sampling plan will be provided in the near future. This plan will tentatively cover each shift at least twice a week. d. This plan will be provided with action rules which Indicate when the foreman (or some other appropriate person) must sample a high VC1 concentration area in depth and identify and correct the prob lem if possible. e. Each.high vinyl chloride occurrence must be noted in a record book for level, location, cause, and solution of the problem. 1 BFG32087 245370C2 VC1 Vapor Sampling Program January 4, 1974 Page 3 This log should be used in plant meetings to Initiate permanent corrective action. 6.
