Thank you for your telephone conversation of November 12, 1996, concerning United 

Panel Incorporated's continuous casting process in relationship to the development of the

Kenneth R. Meardon of Pacific Environmental Services. Also, thank you for sending us a 

corrected summary of the October 1996 conversation. 

Enclosed are two copies of the November 1996 telephone conversation. Please review 

the "contact report" and make any changes you believe necessary to make it accurate and 

complete. As discussed with Mr. Meardon, you consider the phone conversation to include 

confidential business information (CBI). If you believe that disclosure of any specific 

information in the report would reveal a trade secret, please mark that particular information as 

"confidential." Return the report to Melva Toomer, CBI Manager, Environmental Protection 

Agency, MD-13, Research Triangle Park, NC, 27711. 

Also enclosed are the final contact reports from the October 1996 telephone conversation. 

We have corrected the October 1, 1996 telephone contact report and have created a nonconfidential version. The non-confidential version indicates places in the contact repon where 

material claimed to be confidential has been deleted. Please confirm that this version contains no 

CBI and can be released to the public files. We request that you return the November 1996 

contact report and confirm that the October non-confidential version contains no CBI by 

Januarv 10, 1997.
