ATTN: Wells G&H Case Team

Re: Response to Information Request for the former Whitney Barrel Company facilityat the Wells G&H Superfund Site in Wobum, Massachusetts

Dear Ms. Bosworth:

On behalf of The Gillette Company ("Gillette"), this letter and the attachments respond toEPA's Request for Information, transmitted by letter dated June 21,2005, from Bruce A.Marshall to Edward F. DeGraan, relating to the former Whitney Barrel Company facility at theWells G&H Superfund Site in Woburn, Massachusetts.

The Request for Information is extremely broad and asks for information that goessubstantially beyond Gillette's relationship with the former Whitney Barrel Company facilitythat is the subject of EPA's investigation. In particular, questions 2, 3, 4 and 5 ask forinformation relating to Gillette's legal status, operations, wastes and waste streams, anddisposal/storage/treatment/storage/recycling/sale of waste in at least four states and for a thirty-five year period (1950-1985), commencing fifty-five years ago. Because of the breadth of therequest and the passage of time, it is difficult to state with reasonable certainty that theinformation Gillette is providing is either complete or, perhaps, wholly accurate. Rather, Gilletteis responding to EPA's Request for Information based on a reasonable, diligent search for andreview of information that is currently available.

Further, Gillette has previously responded to Requests for Information relating to otherSuperfund sites in EPA Region I, including the Sutton Brook Disposal Area Superfund Site, theShaffer Landfill, the Charles George Landfill, the Silresim Superfund Site, and the SolventRecovery Systems of New England Superfund Site. In response to those requests, Gillette haspreviously provided EPA with many boxes of documents relating to the wastes generated at itsfacilities, including, inter alia: internal memoranda describing the off-site disposal of Gillette'swaste; agreements with and invoices from Gillette's waste haulers; and Gillette's ownagreements with off-site disposal facilities. We are not enclosing with this submission thevoluminous documents that Gillette has previously provided to EPA. To Gillette's knowledge,

0076-001

Page 3: 104 INFORMATION REQUEST RESPONSE - …s responses to information request questions ... ct corporation ... 104 information request response - gillette co ...

however, none of the documents previously provided to EPA refers or relates to Gillette'srelationship with the former Whitney Barrel Company facility.

Following EPA's review of this letter and the attachment, please contact me at 617-421-7880 if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Kevin Loftus

Page 5: 104 INFORMATION REQUEST RESPONSE - …s responses to information request questions ... ct corporation ... 104 information request response - gillette co ...

South Boston Manufacturing Center ("SBMC")Gillette ParkBoston, MA 02106

b. AMC: manufacture of toiletry products; operational 1969 to present.

SBMC: manufacture of blades and razors; operational 1907 to present.

c. Enclosed with these responses are marked versions of Enclosure F forAMC and SBMC, showing constituents that would have been produced,processed or used, or would have been present in materials produced, processedor used, during the relevant period, based on available information. Because ofthe passage of time since the end of the relevant period in 1985, some of theresponses on Enclosure F are based on conjecture that the constituents present atAMC and SBMC during the relevant period may have been the same as theconstituents known to be present after the relevant period. Many of theconstituents listed on Enclosure F would have been present in smallconcentrations in materials used at AMC or SBMC, or would have been used insmall quantities at AMC or SBMC.

d. The size of the operations at AMC and SBMC has gradually expandedover time. Toiletry products were manufactured at SBMC before AMC becameoperational in 1969. Otherwise, the nature of operations has not changedsubstantially.

e. AMC: manufactures antiperspirants, deodorants, shave products (e.g.,Right Guard, Gillette Series).

SBMC: manufactures razors and blades.

f. AMC: ethanol, perfume oils, soaps, waxes, mineral oils, aluminum-zirconium salt, propellants, gases, cans, glass containers, metal tubes.

SBMC: stainless steel, brass, aluminum, plastics, soaps, oils, solvents,acids, corrugated paper, chipboard.

g. At AMC and SBMC, a water wash down would have been the principalmethod of cleaning the machinery during the relevant period. There also wouldhave been a manual wipe down of certain machinery using industrial rags. Thequantity of the materials used is unknown.

h. Gillette is unaware of any specific spills that occurred at AMC and SBMCduring the relevant time period. To the extent there may have been spills of non-hazardous materials at AMC (shave creams, soaps, oils, or other cosmetics), theywould have been flushed to the municipal sewer system.

i. The various operations at AMC (high speed aerosol filling,formulation/batch preparation, chemical mixing, high speed liquid filling, andpackaging) and at SBMC (razor manufacturing, including metal stamping, platingand assembly, blade coating, steel hardening, steel sharpening, perforatingoperations, and packaging) are too complex to diagram fully. Gillette respectfullyrequests that EPA describe the specific operations, if any, it is necessary todiagram.

4. a-e. The responses to the enclosed Waste Survey incorporate availableinformation relating to Gillette's wastes and waste streams. Because of thepassage of time since the end of the relevant period in 1985, some of theresponses to the Waste Survey are based on conjecture that the wastes and wastestreams generated during the relevant period may have been the same as thewastes and waste streams known to be generated after the relevant period.

f. See 3.j above

5. a-d. During the relevant period, at both AMC and SBMC, wastes were handledby the particular departments that generated the wastes and not by a centralizedfunction. As a result, Gillette does not have detailed information regarding thenumerous individuals who were responsible for handling waste or who may haveinformation regarding the various waste streams during the relevant period. Inaddition to the individuals listed in 3.j above, the individuals responsible for thesematters currently are as follows:

Senior Environmental Specialist, AMCSupervisor - Patrick Ladd, Facility Manager, AMC

Sandra BissettManager of Environmental Affairs and Safety, SBMCSupervisor - Alfredo Castro, Facility Manager, SBMC

Steven FradkoffEnvironmental Project Engineer, SBMCSupervisor - Sandra Bissett, Manager of Environmental Affairs and

Safety, SBMC

e-v. The responses to the enclosed Waste Survey incorporate availableinformation relating to the disposal of Gillette's wastes and waste streams.

Generally, at AMC waste streams were disposed of during the relevantperiod as follows:

• When the plant become operational in 1969, liquid sanitary waste andoverflow from the liquid mixing room flowed to the Andover Sewer System.Sometime around 1974, the Andover Sewer System became part of theGreater Lawrence Sanitary District ("GLSD") and AMC continued to send thesame waste there. From 1969 to 1982, process wastewater was disposed ofon-site in wastewater lagoons; subsequently, process wastewater was disposedof at GLSD.

• Wastes from the cream mix room were held on site in a holding tank, thenpumped out and disposed of at the Reading interceptor of the MetropolitanDistrict Commission ("MDC") system. Later, when the MDC wasunavailable for such waste it was managed at AMC via holding ponds andspray irrigation. Later, it was sent to the GLSD.

• In 1982, AMC began to operate a permitted Resource Recovery Facility("RRF"). After 1982, reject and defective aerosol containers, mix roomwastes, and ordinary solid wastes including oils, filters and polymers, weresent to the RRF.

• From 1969 to approximately 1972, nearly all solid waste was sent to theAndover Landfill. From approximately 1972 until the RFF becameoperational, most solid waste was sent to the Charles George Landfill.AMC's waste transporters included P&T Refuse (for disposal at the AndoverLandfill and perhaps other sites) and the Charles George Trucking Company(for disposal at the Charles George Landfill). Some waste (e.g., cardboard) isbelieved to have been sent to a recycling facility. Some waste also wasbelieved to have been sent to RESCO, a waste-to-energy facility in Saugus,MA.

0076-0016

Page 8: 104 INFORMATION REQUEST RESPONSE - …s responses to information request questions ... ct corporation ... 104 information request response - gillette co ...

• After the passage of RCRA, hazardous wastes were properly labeled,manifested and disposed of at RCRA permitted facilities.

Gillette does not possess information relating to SBMC's disposal ofwaste streams during the relevant period, following consultation with currentemployees and a search for documents. There may be information relating toSBMC's waste disposal in prior responses to EPA Requests for Informationrelating to other Superfund sites, but Gillette believes those prior responses do notrefer or relate to Whitney Barrel Company.

6. a. AMC: MAD 053483467SBMC: MAD 066605809

b-g. Gillette may have filed hazardous waste generator reports for AMC orSMBC during the relevant period. At SBMC, Gillette also may have filed reportsin connection with its NPDES permit for discharge of non-contact cooling water,or in connection with its discharge of rinsewaters from washing operations to theMassachusetts Water Resources Authority. Gillette is unaware of any otherenvironmental reporting to federal or state governments during the relevantperiod, but cannot rule it out.

7. a. As described further below, during a portion of the relevant periodWhitney Barrel Company ("Whitney") purchased and transported used, emptydrums from Gillette for Whitney's reconditioning and sale to third parties.

b. No.

c. i. Gillette does not currently possess information relating to the datesof each pickup of used, empty drums by Whitney. Generally, Whitneypicked up used, empty drums from AMC from the time AMC becameoperational in 1969 through the end of the relevant period in 1985(although, as explained in 7.c.ii below, the types of drums changed overtime). Whitney also picked up used, empty drums from SBMC during aperiod beginning before 1965 and continuing through at least 1969.

ii. The types of containers that Whitney picked up from Gillette wereeither steel or fiber drums. Whitney picked up both steel and fiber drumsfrom AMC from 1969 through the late 1970s; thereafter, Whitney pickedup only fiber drums from AMC. The fiber drums contained plastic linersthat were removed and disposed of by AMC before Whitney picked up thedrums.

iii. Gillette believes that most or all of the drums that Whitney pickedup were 55-gallon drums.

0076-0017

Page 9: 104 INFORMATION REQUEST RESPONSE - …s responses to information request questions ... ct corporation ... 104 information request response - gillette co ...

iv. Gillette believes that the drums would have been in good, reusablecondition.

v. Whitney picked up empty drums from Gillette. Generally, whenGillette received the drums they contained raw materials for use inGillette's operations. As explained in 7.c.ii above, the fiber drumscontained plastic liners that were removed. Gillette does not know theextent to which the steel drums contained empty barrel residues whenpicked up by Whitney.

vi. Gillette has been unable to locate documentation relating to itsdealings with Whitney.

d. No, except that Gillette understood that Whitney reconditioned the drumsit picked up from Gillette and resold them to third parties.

e. No.

f. No.

g. None,

h. None.

i. See 3.j above

8. a-c. None.

9. a.

i-iv. See 3.j and 5a-d above

v-viii. Efforts were made to locate responsive documents maintained byAMC and SBMC, but no documents relating to Whitney were located.Gillette has previously provided to EPA voluminous documents relating towastes generated by AMC and SBMC in response to other Requests forInformation relating to other Superfund sites, but to Gillette's knowledge,none of those documents refers or relates to Gillette's relationship withWhitney.
