TOPICS
DISCUSSED
AND
ACTION
TAKEN
I
called
Mr.
Douglas
Sturgis
on
May
16,
2005
and
asked
him
whether
he
could
confirm
that
the
picloram
discharges
reported
to
TRI
in
2000
and
2002
were
indeed
150,000
and
239,991
pounds,
respectively.
I
also
asked
Mr.
Sturgis
whether
the
Freeport
plant
manufactures
picloram
and
what
the
source
of
the
picloram
in
the
wastewater
is
and
how
the
pounds
of
picloram
reported
are
estimated.
Mr.
Sturgis
said
he
would
get
back
to
me
in
a
day.
I
placed
a
follow­
up
call
to
Mr.
Sturgis
on
May
20,
2005,
and
he
promised
to
have
the
information
to
me
early
the
next
week.

Mr.
Sturgis
returned
my
call
on
May
20,
2005.
He
said
that
he
could
only
confirm
that
the
pounds
reported
to
TRI
in
2000
and
2002
are
correct.
For
the
rest
of
the
information,
I
would
have
to
send
a
letter
to
the
Dow
Freeport
plant
public
affairs
contact.

contact
