(a) Difference between maximum & minimum quarterly production divided by 

maximum quarterly production. 

(b) See Table IV, Catalog of Emission Control Devices for details. 

(c) Includes H2S. Excludes CH^ & H2. 

(d) Includes aerosols such as HCl and Cl£-

(e) Unspecified portion of this stream results from dichloroethane production. 

(f) Stream is vented below surface of pond, combustibles burn at pond surface. 

(g) No data received. 

(h) Vents from top of 14 foot scrubber tower. 

(i) Purged Header - pollutants will increase during emergencies or relief 

valve lifitng. 

(j) Minor portion of a combined vent from other process.
