V.CHAIRMAN'S REPORT ON SEPTEMBER 7. MEETING 1993 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Reporting for VI Chairman William Patient, Vice Chairman Alan Bailey noted that the Executive Committee discussed in detail a potable water issue in the state of Kansas that is being addressed jointly with the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association. He noted that while a detailed presentation would be made to the full Board during the Issues Management Report, he wanted to apprise the Executive Board that the Executive Committee approved the expenditure of funds necessary to develop a sampling protocol and to execute a statistically valid sampling program. The Executive Committee agreed to use the carryover funds from the FY 1992-1993 budget to initiate this activity and will address any additional funding requirements through either a special assessment or redirection of other program activities at the determination of the Treasurer and Executive Committee. Mr. Bailey noted that the Board will be kept fully apprised. VI. ISSUES MANAGEMENT REPORT A.

He noted that membership is currently composed of the chairs of the Technical, VIGOR and Health, Safety & Environment Committees as well as company and association legal counsel, company and consultant communications staff, a member company health/toxicology specialist, a government affairs corporate state representative, and two individuals in CTL007926 4 the marketing/sales area. Mr. Krause stated that the committee has created ad hoc groups/task forces to handle specific issues for the committee and that the seven current ad hoc groups are relying on teleconferencing to the maximum extent possible, to contain travel expendi tures and to avoid trying to coordinate travel schedules. B. Potable Water Issue - Kansas Mr. Krause's report on a joint VI/Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association project to define the source of high RVCM levels in a certain water district identified by the Kansas Department of Health, to determine the scope and potential impacts of the findings, and to suggest appropriate remediation activities as outlined in the material appended to the minutes of the meeting. Mr. Krause noted that Dave Eckstein of Uni-Bell, who is serving as project lead, reviewed with the Executive Committee a chronology of the issue, which began in June 1992 with the detection by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) of VCM in water in one rural water district of up to 8 parts per billion, and the July 1992 notice by KDHE to users in this water district advising the use of an alternate drinking water source. Mr. Krause noted that Uni-Bell was notified by EPA in March 1993 of significantly higher levels of RVCM in this same district and requested industry's assistance in remediation technology. Mr. Krause referenced the joint VI/Uni-Bell project to source the VCM completed with the cooperation of the National Sanitation Founda tion, and detailed discussions with the USEPA during an August meeting. Mr. Krause noted that in addition to the action steps identified on the attached, updated statements will be provided to reflect further developments. C. EDC/VCM/PVC Ad Hoc Task Force Mr. Krause reviewed the objectives of this task force as detailed in the material attached to the minutes of this meeting, and highlighted the actions taken to date and updated the Board on discussions during a recent teleconference related to protocol development and testing initiatives. He noted that the third party review by ChemRisk of the Greenpeace report "Dioxin Factories..." has been completed. Mr. Kildahl distrib uted an August 18 a press release reviewing the results of tests conducted during January-July 1993 analyzed by CTL007927 5 the California-based ALTA Analytical Laboratory. In response to a question from Mr. Dillon, Mr. Kildahl noted that he would provide a copy of the protocol to Mr. Burnett for appropriate distribution. Although not an issue discussed by the EDC/VCM/PVC Task Force, Mr. Azrak apprised the Board of a recent communi cation from Union Carbide to all site employees and retirees of its Bound Brook, New Jersey facility advising them of the results of two recently completed health studies, one of which focused on employees who worked at the site for seven or more months from 1946 through 1967. Mr. Azrak distributed a copy of the statement and offered to make the full report available should it be requested. D. Chlorine/PVC/IJC Call to Action Mr. Krause reviewed the action plan developed to address activities up to and including the October 21-24 meeting of the International Joint Commission and urged those who have not yet done so to help provide a strong industry participation in the meeting and ancillary events. Mr. Krause noted that a series of stakeholder meetings are being planned by the CCC and that industry sponsorship and attendance is being sought. Mr. Krause detailed the government relations activity underway, which is being managed by Ms. Debbie Neale of Neale & Associates. Mr. Freeman offered the assistance of SPI with federal legislative contacts. Mr. Krause noted that it is anticipated that anti-chlorine activities will continue past the October meeting and noted that the intensity of the anti-chlorine initiative at the federal and state level will depend only to some extent on the final work product of the International Joint Commission. VII. OUTREACH/COMMUNICATIONS ACTIVITIES Mr. Meeker reviewed the activities underway through the Partners' Program, including the recent publication of a newsletter for the program participants. Mr. Meeker requested additional partners, particularly in those top 100 cities not presently covered. Mr. Meeker also provided an update on VERCE. Mr. Meeker described the activities of the Council of Great Lakes Industries (CGLI), who have been charged with coordinat ing industry participation in the upcoming IJC meeting and referenced the work that Edward Howard & Co. is doing for the CGLI. Mr. Meeker noted that a substantial amount of Edward Howard & Co. activity is targeted toward supporting the programs of the Issues Management Committee and noted that this is covered in the quarterly report to the Board included under Tab E of the briefing book.
