Saugus, CA 91350 , ,r Dear Ken: In April, the Vinyl Chloride Panel has completed its first year of activity. Over the past year, the Panel has developed the foundations for an emergency response network that will respond to vinyl chloride transportation incidents throughout the United States. The Panel, with the help of a consultant, finalized a routing and transportation map of vinyl chloride shipments to aid in organizing emergency response. The emergency response network, VCNet, will operate through CMA's CHEMTREC division using response teams from " Panel member companies and "for-hire" contract companies. VCNet also will coordinate its activities with railroad and community response teams. The Panel also has conducted workshops providing training to emergency response personnel on vinyl chloride. Attendance at the workshop has been strong, and the Panel intends to hold more workshop sessions in the -future. The Panel is in the process of signing a mutual aid network agreement which will finalize VCNet. To date, eight companies have signed the agreement including: BFGoodrich Chemical Group; Dow Chemical company; Formosa Plastics; Georgia Gulf corporation; JTS Enterprises, Inc.; Occidental Chemical Company; PPG Industries, Inc.; and, Vista Chemical Company. The Panel is expanding its membership base by inviting the users of vinyl chloride to join. We are inviting Keysor-Century to be an associate member of the panel. The membership cost is $2000 per year. I am writing to urge your company to consider becoming a part of VCNet and the Vinyl Chloride Panel by signing the mutual aid agreement and committing financially to the Panel. Your participation in this effort will benefit your company, industry and the community by encouraging the safe transport of vinyl chloride and the exchange of information regarding vinyl chloride. Ken, I'm not sure if you are the person responsible to make the decision to join the VCNet panel, if not please pass it on to the CMA 023969 Next week I will call you to answer any questions concerning the panel. Sincerely, cc: Has Shah, CMA Ken Mounger Burley Melton CMA 023970
