Texas, hereinafter called "CITY", and E. I. du PonT de Nemours
and Company , a Delaware corporation," hereinafter
called "COMPANY",
WIT N E SSE T H:
WHEREAS, it is the established policy of the City Council of
the City of La Porte, Texas, to adopt such reasonable measures from
time to time as are permitted by law and which will tend to enhance
the economic stability and growth of the City and its environs by
attracting the location of new and the expansion of existing
industries therein, and such policy is hereby reaffirmed and
adopted by this City Council as being in the best interest of the
City and its citizens; and "
WHEREAS, pursuant to its policy, City has enacted Ordinance
No. 729, designating portions of the area located in its
extraterritorial jurisdiction as the "Battleground Industrial
District of La Porte, Texas", and Ordinance No. 842A, designating
portions of the area located in its extraterritorial jurisdiction
as the "Bayport Industrial District of La Porte, Texas",
hereinafter collectively called "District", such Ordinances being
in compliance with the Municipal Annexation Act of Texas, codified
as Section 42.044, Texas Local Government Code; and
WHEREAS, Company is the" owner of land wi thin a designated
Industrial District of the City of La Porte, said land being
legally described on the attached Exhibit "A" (hereinafter "Land") ;
and said Land being more particularly sho~n on a plat attached as
Exhibit "B", which plat describes the ownership boundary lines; a
si te layout, showing all improvements, including pipelines and
railroads, and also showing areas of the Land previously annexed
by the City of La Porte; and
WHEREAS, City desires to encourage the expansion and growth
of industrial plants within said Districts and for such purpose
desires to enter into this Agreement with Company pursuant to
Ordinance adopted by the City council of said City and recorded in
the official minutes of said City:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual agreements of the parties contained herein and pursuant to
the authority granted under the Municipal Annexation Act and the
Ordinances of city referred to above, city and Company hereby agree
with each other as follows:
Revised: October 22, 1993
e
e
\
I. -
City covenants, agrees and guarantees that during the term of this
Agreement, provided below, and subject to the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, said District shall continue to retain its
extraterritorial status as an industrial district, at least to the
extent that the same covers the Land belonging to Company and its
assigns, unless and until the status of said Land, or a portion or
portions thereof, as an industrial district may be changed pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing and to
the later provisions of this Agreement, City does further covenant,
agree and guarantee that such industrial -district, to the extent
that it covers said Land lying within said District and _not now
within the corporate limits of City, shall be immune from
annexation' by City during .the term hereof (except as hereinafter
provided) and shall have no right to have extended to it any
services by City, and that all Land, including that which has been
heretofore annexed, shall not have extended to it by ordinance any
rules and regulations (a) governing plats and subdivisions of land,
(b) prescribing any building, electrical, plumbing or inspection
code or codes, or (c) attempting to exercise in any manner whatever
control over the conduct of business thereon; provided, however,
it is agreed that City shall have the right to institute or
intervene in any administrative and/or judicial proceeding
authorized by the Texas Water Code, the Texas Clean Air Act, the
Texas Health & Safety Code, or other federal or state environmental
laws, rules or regulations, to the same extent and to the same
intent and effect as if all Land covered by this Agreement were
not subject to the Agreement.
II.
In the event that - any portion of the Land has heretofore been
annexed by City, Company agrees to render and pay full City ad
valorem taxes on such annexed Land and improvements, and tangible
personal property.
Under the terms of the Texas Property Tax Code (S.B. 621, Acts of
the 65th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1979, as amended), the
appraised value for tax purposes of the annexed portion of Land,
improvements, and tangible personal property shall be determined
by the Harris County Appraisal District. The parties hereto
recognize that said Appraisal District has no authority to appraise
the Land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the
unannexed area for the purpose of computing the "in lieu" payments
hereunder. Therefore, the parties agree that the appraisal of the
Land, improvements, and tangible personal property in the unannexed
area shall be conducted by City, at City'S expense, by an
independent appraiser of City'S selection. The parties recognize
that in making such appraisal for "in lieu" payment purposes, such
appraiser must of necessi ty appraise the entire (annexed and
unannexed) Land, improvements, and tangible personal property.
Nothing herein contained shall ever be interpreted as lessening the
authority of the Harris county Appraisal District to establish the
appraised value of Land, improvements, and tangible personal
2
e
e
property in the annexed portion, for ad valorem tax purposes.
III.
A. On or before April 15, 1994, and on or before each April 15th
thereafter, unless an extension is granted. in accordance with the
Texas Property Tax Code, through and including April 15, 2000,
Company shall provide City with a written description of its Land
and all improvements and tangible personal property located on the
Land as of the immediately preceding January' 1st,' stating its
opinion of the Property's market value, and being sworn to by an
authorized officer of the Company authorized to do so, or company's
duly authorized agent, (the Company's "Rendition"). Company may
file such Rendition on a Harris County Appraisal District rendition
form, or similar form. The .properties which the Company must
render and upon which the "in lieu of" taxes are assessed are more
fully described in subsections 1, 2, and 3 of subsection D, of this
Paragraph III (sometimes collectively called the "Property"). A
failure by Company to file a Rendition as provided for in this
paragraph, shall constitute a waiver by Company for the current tax
year, of all rights of protest and appeal under the terms of this
Agreement.
B. As part of its rendition, Company shall furnish to City a
written report of the names and addresses of all persons and
entities who store any tangible personal property on the Land by
bailment, lease, consignment, or other arrangement with Company
("products in storage"), and are in the possession or under the
management of Company on January 1st of each Value Year, further
giving a description of such products in storage.
C. On or before the later of December 31, 1994, or 30 days from
mailing of tax bill and in like manner on or before each December
31st thereafter, through and including December 31, 2000, Company
shall pay to City an amount "in lieu of taxes" on Company's
Property as of January 1st of the current calendar year ("Value
Year").
D. Company agrees to render to City and pay an amount "in lieu
of taxes" on Company's Land, improvements and tangible personal
property in the unannexed area equal to the sum of:
1. (a) Fifty percent (50%) of the amount of ad valorem
taxes which would be payable to City if all of the
company's Land and improvements which existed on
January 1, 1994, January 1, 1995, and January 1,
1996, had been within the corporate limits of City
and appraised each year by City's independent
appraiser; and
(b) Fifty-three percent (53%) of the amount of ad
valorem taxes which would be payable to City if all
of the Company's Land and improvements which existed
on January 1, 1997, January 1, 1998, January 1,
1999, and January 1, 2000, had been within the
corporate limits of City and appraised each year by
3

2. (a) On any Substantial Increase in value of the Land,
improvements, and tangible personal property
(excluding inventory) dedicated to new construction,

from taxation), for each Value Year following
completion of construction in progress, an"amount
equal to Thirty percent (30%) of the amount of ad
valorem taxes which would be payable to City if all

equal to the amount of the depreciation will be
removed from this calculation to restore the value
to the January 1, 1993, value; and

taxes which would be payable to City on all of the
Company's tangible personal property of every
description, including, without limitation,
inventory, oil, gas, and mineral interests, items

in value.

valorem taxes which would be payable to City on all

any new legislation is thereafter enacted by the Legislature of the
state of Texas which imposes greater restrictions on the right of
City to annex land belonging to Company or imposes further
obligations on City in connection therewith after the -annexation
of such land, Company will waive the right to require City to

of assignee, of any disposition of the Land, and assignment of this

respect to an industrial district or enters into a renewal of any
existing industrial district agreements after the effective date
hereof and while this Agreement is in effect, which contains terms
and provisions more favorable to the landowner than those in this
Agreement, Company and its assigns shall have the right to amend
this Agreement and City agrees to amend same to embrace the more
favorable terms of such agreement or renewal agreement. This
Paragraph shall not apply to any Court ord~red extension of the
term of the Agreement ordered in Southern Ionics, Inc. vs City of

Industrial District Agreement - 2 -
upon which tract(s) Company has either constructed an
industrial plant(s) or contemplates the construction of an
industrial plant(s): and
WHEREAS, pursuant to its policy, City has enacted
Ordinance No. 729, designating portions of the area located in
its extraterritorial jurisdiction as the "Battleground
Industrial District of La Porte, Texas," and Ordinance No. 842,
designating portions of the area located in its extraterri-
torial jurisdiction as the "Bayport Industrial District of La
Porte, Texas," hereinafter collectively called "District," such
Ordinances being in compliance with the Municipal Annexation
Act of Texas, Article 970a, Vernon's Annotated Revised Civil
Statutes of Texas: and
WHEREAS, City desires to encourage the expansion and
growth of industrial plants within said Districts and for such
purpose desires to enter into this Agreement with Company
pursuant to Resolution adopted by the City Council of said City
and recorded in the official minutes of said City:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual agreements of the parties contained herein and pursuant
to the authority granted under the Municipal Annexation Act and
the Ordinances of City referred to above, City and Company
he~eby agree with each other as follows:
I .
City covenants, agrees and guarantees that during the term
of this Agreement, provided below, and subject to the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, said District shall continue and
retain its extraterritorial status as an industrial district,
at least to the extent that the same covers the land described
above and belonging to Company and its assigns, and unless and
until the status of said land, or a portion or portions
e
e
Industrial District Agreement - 3 -
thereof, as an industrial district may be changed pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing and to
the later provisions of this Agreement, City does further
covenant, agree and guarantee that such industrial district, to
the extent that it covers said land lying within said District
and not now within the corporate limits of City, or to be
annexed under the provisions of Article II hereof, shall be
immune from annexation by City during the term hereof (except
as hereinafter provided) and shall have no right to have
extended to it any services by City, and that all of said land,
including that which has been heretofore or which may be
annexed pursuant to the later provisions of this Agreement,
shall not have extended to it by ordinance any rules and
regulations (a) governing plats and subdivisions of land, (b)
prescribing any building, electrical, plumbing or inspection
code or codes, or (c) attempting to exercise in any manner
whatever control over the conduct of business thereon;
provided, however, it is agreed that City shall have the right
to institute or intervene in any judicial proceeding authorized
by the Texas Water Code or the Texas Clean Air Act to the same
extent and to the same intent and effect as if all land covered
by this Agreement were located within the corporate limits of
City.
II.
A portion of the hereinabove described property has
heretofore been annexed by City. Company has filed with City,
coincident with the execution hereof, if the facts so required,
its petition to City to annex an additional portion of the
hereinabove described property, to the end that twenty-five
percent (25%) of the total value of the land and improvements
e
e
Industrial District Agreement - 4 -
hereinabove described shall be annexed to City. Company agrees
to render and pay full City ad valorem taxes on such annexed
land and improvements, and tangible personal property.
Under the terms of the Texas property Tax Code (S.B. 621,
Acts of the 65th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1979, as
amended), the appraised value for tax purposes of the annexed
portion of land, improvements, and tangible personal property
shall be determined by the Harris County Appraisal District.
The parties hereto recognize that said District has no
authority to appraise the land, improvements, and tangible
personal property in the unannexed area for the purpose of
computing the "in lieu" payments hereunder. Therefore, the
parties agree that the appraisal of the land, improvements, and
tangible personal property in the unannexed area shall be
conducted by City, at City's expense, by an independent
appraiser of City's selection. The parties recognize that in
making such appraisal for "in lieu" payment purposes, such
appraiser must of necessity appraise the entire (annexed and
unannexed) land, improvements, and tangible personal property.
Company agrees to render and pay full City ad valorem taxes on
such annexed land, improvements, and tangible personal property.
Company also agrees to render to City and pay an amount
"in lieu of taxes" on Company's land, improvements, and
tangible personal property in the unannexed area equal to the
sum of:
(1) Fifty percent (50%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes
which would be payable to City if all of the hereinabove
~
described property which existed on January 1, 198~, had
been within the corporate limits of City and appraised
each year by City's independent appraiser: and
, .
e
e
Industrial District Agreement - 5 -
(2) Thirty percent (30%) of the amount of ad valorem taxes
which would be payable to City on any increase in value of
the hereinabove described property, in excess of the
appraised value of same on January 1, 1986, resulting from
new construction and new acquisitions of tangible personal
property, (exclusive of Construction in Progress, which
shall be exempt from taxation), if all of said new
construction and acquisitions had been within the
corporate limits of City and appraised by City's
independent appraiser:
with the sum of (1) and (2) reduced by the amount of City's ad
valorem taxes on the annexed portion thereof as determined by
appraisal by the Harris County Appraisal District.
Nothing herein contained shall ever be construed as in
derogation of the authority of the Harris County Appraisal
District to establish the appraised value of land, improve-
ments, and tangible personal property in the annexed portion,
for ad valorem tax purposes.
III.
This Agreement shall extend for a period beginning on the
1st day of January, 1987, and continue thereafter until
December 31, 1993, unless extended for an additional period or
periods of time upon mutual consent of Company and City as
provided by the Municipal Annexation Act: provided, however,
that in the event this Agreement is not so extended for an
additional period or periods of time on or before August 31,
1993, the agreement of City not to annex property of Company
within the District shall terminate. In that event, City shall
have the right to commence immediate annexation proceedings as
to all of Company's property covered by this Agreement,
notwithstanding any of the terms and provisions of this
e
e
Industrial District Agreement - 6 -
agreement, and in such event Company agrees that if the Texas
Municipal Act, Article 970a (V.A.T.S.), as amended after
January 1, 1980, or any new legislation is thereafter enacted
by the Legislature of the State of Texas which imposes greater
restrictions on the right of City to annex land belonging to
Company or imposes further obligations on City in connection
therewith after the annexation of such land, Company will waive
the right to require City to comply with any such additional
restrictions or obligations and the rights of the parties shall
be then determined in accordance with the provisions of said
Texas Municipal Annexation Act as the same existed January 1,
1980.
IV.
This Agreement may be extended for an additional period or
periods by agreement between City and Company and/or its
assigns even though it is not extended by agreement between
City and all of the owners of all land within the District of
which it is a part. In this connection, City hereby expresses
its belief that industrial district agreements of the kind made
herein are conducive to the development of existing and future
industry and are to the best interest of all citizens of City
and encourage future City Councils to enter into future
industrial district agreements and to extend for additional
periods permitted by law this Industrial District Agreement
upon request of Company or its assigns; provided, however, that
nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate either
party hereto to agree to an extension of this Agreement.
V.
Company agrees to pay all ad valorem taxes, and all "in
lieu of taxes" payments hereunder, to City on or before
~
~cembel 31 of each year during the term hereof. It is agreed
rapuA~1 31
e
e
Industrial District Agreement - 7 -
that presently the ratio of ad valorem tax assessment used by
City is one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of
property. Any change in such ratio used by City shall be
reflected in any subsequent computations hereunder. This
Agreement shall be subject to all provisions of law relating to
determination of value of land, improvements, and tangible
personal property, for tax purposes (e.g., rendition, assess-
ment, Harris County Appraispl District review and appeal
procedures, court appeals, etc.) for purposes of fixing and
determining the amount of ad valorem tax payments, and the
amount of "in lieu of tax" payments hereunder, except as
otherwise provided in Articles II and VI hereof.
VI.
(A) In the event Company elects to protest the valuation
for tax purposes set on its said properties by City or by the
Harris County Appraisal District for any year or years during
the terms hereof, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude such
protest and Company shall have the right to take all legal
steps desired by it to reduce the same.
Notwithstanding such protest by Company, Company agrees to
pay to City on or before the date therefor hereinabove
provided, at least the total of (a) the total amount of ad
valorem taxes on the annexed portions, plus (b) the total
amount of the "in lieu of taxes" on the unannexed portions of
Company's hereinabove-described property which would be due by
Company to City in accordance with the foregoing provisions of
this Agreement on the basis of renditions which shall be filed
by Company on or before May 15 of each year during the term of
this Agreement, with both the City and the Harris County
Appraisal District for that year.
e
e
Industrial District Agreement - 8 -
When the City or Harris County Appraisal District
valuation on said property of Company has been so finally
determined, either as the result of final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction or as the result of other final
conclusion of the controversy, then within thirty (30) days
thereafter Company shall make payment to City of any additional
payment due hereunder based on such final valuation, together
with applicable penalties, interest, and collection costs.
Such penalties, interest, and collection costs are to be
determined in the same manner as provided by law for delinquent
property taxes.
(B) Should Company disagree with any appraisal made by the
independent appraiser selected by City pursuant to Article II
above (which shall be given in writing to Company), Company
shall, within twenty (20) days of receiving such copy, give
written notice to the City of such disagreement. In the event
Company does not give such written notice of disagreement
within such time period, the appraisal made by said independent
appraiser shall be final and controlling for purposes of the
determination of "in lieu of taxesll payments to be made under
this Agreement.
Should Company give such notice of disagreement, Company
shall also submit to the City with sudh notice a written
statement setting forth what Company believes to be the market
value of Company's hereinabove described property. Both
parties agree to thereupon enter into good faith negotiations
in an attempt to reach an agreement as to the market value of
Company's property for "in lieu" purposes hereunder. If, after
the expiration of thirty (30) days from the date the notice of
disagreement was received by City, the parties have not reached
agreement as to such market value, the parties agree to submit
e
e
Industrial District Agreement - 9 -
the dispute to final arbitration as provided in subparagraph
(1) of this Article VI(B). Notwithstanding any such
disagreement by Company, Company agrees to pay to City on or
before December 31 of each year during the term hereof, at
least the total of (a) the ad valorem taxes on the annexed
portions, plus (b) the total amount of the "in lieu" payments
which would be due hereunder on the basis of Company's
valuations rendered and/or submitted to City by Company
hereunder, or the total assessment and "in lieu of taxes"
thereon for the last preceding year.
(1) A Board of Arbitrators shall be created composed of
one person named by Company, one by City, and a third to
be named by those two. In case of no qgreement on this
arbitrator in 10 days, the parties will join in a written
request that the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of Texas appoint the third
arbitrator who, (as the "Impartial Arbitratorll) shall
preside over the arbitration proceeding. The sole issue
to be determined in the arbitration shall be resolution of
the difference between the parties as to the fair market
value of Company's property for calculation of the "in
lieu" payment and total payment hereunder for the year in
question. The Board shall hear and consider all relevant
and material evidence on that issue including expert
opinion, and shall render its written decision as promptly
as practicable. 'That decision shall then be final and
binding upon the parties, subject only to judicial review
as may be available under the Texas General Arbitration
Act (Articles 224-238, Vernon's Annotated Revised Civil
Statutes of Texas). Costs of the arbitration shall be
shared equally by the Company and the City, provided that
each party shall bear its own attorneys fees.
e
.
Industrial District Agreement - 10 -
(C) Should the provisions of Article II of this Agreement
become impossible of enforcement because of any material delay
or failure to act on the part of the Harris County Appraisal
District, then and in such event, all payments under this
Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of Article II
hereof; anything to the contrary in this Agreement
notwithstanding.
VII.
City shall be entitled to a tax lien on Company's
above-described property, all improvements thereon, and all
tangible personal property thereon, in the event of default in
payment of "in lieu of taxes" payments hereunder, which shall
accrue penalty and interest in like manner as delinquent taxes,
and which shall be collectible by City in the same manner as
provided by law for delinquent taxes.
VIII.
Company agrees to provide to City at Company's expense, a
survey plat and field note description of the land and
improvements which Company petitions to be annexed in
accordance with the provisions of Article II above. Such
annexation tract shall be contiguous to a point on the existing
corporate limits of La Porte. In the event of failure of
Company to file either such petition, or such description, City
shall have the right by notice in writing to Company to cancel
and terminate this Agreement.
IX.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon City and Company, and upon Company's successors
and assigns, affiliates and subsidiaries, and shall remain in
force whether Company sells, assigns, or in any other manner
disposes of, either voluntarily or by operation of law, all or
.
e
Industrial District Agreement - 11 -
any part of the property belonging to it within the territory
hereinabove described, and the agreements herein contained
shall be held to be covenants running with the land owned by
Company situated within said territory, for so long as this
Agreement or any extension thereof remains in force.
x.
If City enters into an Agreement with any other landowner
with respect to an industrial district or enters into a renewal
of any existing industrial district agreements after the
effective date hereof and while this Agreement is in effect,
which contains terms and provisions more favorable to the
landowner than those in this Agreement, Company and its assigns
shall have the right to amend this Agreement and City agrees to
amend same to embrace the more favorable terms of such
agreement or renewal agreement; provided, however, City
reserves the right to enter into such agreements or renewal
agreements with other landowners not covered by existing
agreements, containing a percentage of ad valorem taxes more
favorable to the landowner than that contained in Paragraph II,
Subparagraph 3 (2) hereof, and Company and its assigns shall
not have the right to amend this agreement to embrace the more
favorable percentage of ad valorem taxes contained in such
agreement or renewal thereof, than that contained in Paragraph
II, Subparagraph 3 (2) hereof. City may extend more favorable
terms to landowners covered by existing contracts only to the
extent such favorable terms apply to any increase in value of
the hereinabove described property, in excess of the appraised
value of same on January 1, 1986, as .described in Paragraph II,
Subparagraph 3 (2) hereof.

XI.
In the event anyone or more words, phrases, clauses,
sentences, paragraphs, sections, articles or other parts of
this Agreement or the application thereof to any person, firm,
corporation or circumstances shall be held by any court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unconstitutional for
any reason, then the application, invalidity or unconstitu-
tionality of such words, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph,
section, article or other part of the Agreement shall be deemed
to be independent of and separable from the remainder of this
Agreement and the validity of the remaining partes of this
Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
XII.
Upon the commencement of the term of this Agreement, all
other previously existing industrial district agreements with
respect to said land shall terminate.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is to provide notice that we have requested two Class 1 and one Class 2 permit
modifications to our hazardous waste permit (HW-50213-000) with the TNRCC. The
modifications are for several minor changes to our permit, mainly to keep it up to date and
to make the permit more applicable to current guidance:
· Class 2: To update requirements for facility investigations to conform with current
agency guidance.
· Class 1: Modify closure plans to allow closure of several RCRA tanks that have been
converted to process tanks.
· Class 1: Allow emissions from RCRA storage tanks to vent to on-site RCRA
incinerator for improved odor control.
Please note that there have been no changes in waste management practices at our site as
a result of these modifications. These wastes are still managed with the best technology
available either at our plant or at specially selected off plant treatment and/or disposal
facilities.
If you have questions regarding this information, please contact me at (281) 470-3027.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Pearson:
This letter is a request by the La Porte Plant to modify the site RCRA Part B permit (dated October
31, 1990) to allow treatment and storage of a new waste stream in facilities II.B. 4,12,13 (THF area: 24
Hour tank, North Incinerator, South Incinerator) and another non-hazardous stream in facilities II.B.
2,3,11. .
The waste streams have no Appendix VIII (POHC) compounds and the first hazardous stream is 95%
composed of compounds already permitted to be treated in these facilities. For this reason, we ask
for these modifications to be granted as a Class I under TAC 305.69(e)(2)(A),
"Class I modifications apply to minor changes that keep the permit current with routine changes to
the facility or its operation. These changes do not substantially alter the permit conditions or reduce
the capacity of the facility to protect human health or the environment. II
The hazardous waste stream is classified as 0001 due to the tetrahydrofuran (9%) in the stream.
Included in this application are the following attachments:

Re: DuPont La Porte Facility
ISW Reg. No. 30046
Permit No. HW-50213-000
EPA 10 No. TXD 008079212
Dear Mr. Pearson:
This letter is a request by. the La Porte Plant to modify the site RCRA Part B permit (dated
October 31, 1990) to allow treatment of several new waste streams in facilities 11.8.2,3,11
(Central Scrubbed Incinerator, CSI area). In addition, as required by the new Carbamate
Listing last year a Class II permit modification is required to follow-up the Class I
modification required on the effective date of August 9,1995.
In short we are requesting the following changes:
1) Class II - Add the light organic stream currently stored and treated in facilities 11.8.7
& 14 to facilities II.B.2, 3, & 11.
2) Class II - Add miscellaneous wastes from our laboratories to facilities II.B.2, 3, & 11.
3) Class II - Add the K156/K157 listing to waste streams g, h, jj, and mm. Also this
listing was added to permitted facilities 2 and 3.
The first waste stream is listed in our permit as "1I.A.2.bb. Light Organics" and is currently
stored in Permit Facility II.B.7. and treated in Permit Facility II.B.14. (P&IP area). DuPont
would like the flexibility to handle this stream in Permit Facilities II.B.2, 3, and 11.
Orthodichlorobenzene (ODCB), along with Carbon Tetrachloride, was used successfully in
our trial burn as a Principal Organic Hazardous Constituent (POHC) for Permitted Facility #
11. ODCB is listed with a rank of 23-24 as a Class 1 Principal Hazardous Organic
Constituent in the Thermal Stability Index. There are no new POHCs in the proposed
waste stream "bb". As seen from the attached waste classification form (ATTACHMENT
V), the waste (Plant code VS-8) is a 0001 stream containing water, methanol, acetic aci~,
vinyl acetate, and acetaldehyde. Part of the permit modification process requires a
determination be made as to the type of permit modification this request represents.
Because the stream contains no new POHCs under TNRCC rules, it would be categorized
as a Class II permit modification under Texas Administrative Code (T AC) 305.69; Appendix
I, L. 6, b. regarding "Burning different wastes: If the waste does not contain a POHC that is
more difficult to burn than authorized by the permit and if burning the waste does not
require compliance with different regulatory performance standards than specified in the
permit".

The second waste stream DuPont we wish to add to Permit Facilities 11.2, 3, and 11 Is from
our lab. It consists of primarily methanol and acetone (F003s), which are used as solvents
for cleaning lab equipment and water. A typical composition and waste characterization
form Is attached (ATTACHMENT VII). The site proposes to add this stream to our permit as
ww. There are no Appendix VIII compounds in this waste stream above 1%. The
compounds that are there are below ODCB on the Thermal Stability Index. Like the first
modification, this would be a Class II modification under TAC 305.69; Appendix I, L. 6. b.
regarding "Burning different wastes". The estimated 2400 gallons per year this waste
represents will be less than 0.05% of the waste treated in Permit Facility 11.
The third modification is only a follow-up to a Class I Modification submitted last year
(ATTACHMENT-III) to add newly listed streams to permitted facilities 2, 3 and 11. The Class
modification is required under the listing.
A modified permit including all of DuPont's 'requested changes is included in
ATTACHMENT VII.
A copy of a revised permit signature page Is also enclosed with this letter, as well as part I
of our Hazardous Waste Part B Permit Application (ATTACHMENT I).
If there are any questions, or if I can be of assistance, please contact me at (713) 470-3027.
Sincerely,

RE: Industrial District Agreement (IDA) Exhibits
Dear Mr. Ray:
A fully executed Industrial District Agreement together with the approval ordinance are
enclosed. As part of the document preparation, the City examined Exhibits "A" and "B"
~hed by your firm. While reviewing the d~ents, we .found that only one (1) copy
of Exhibit "B" was furnished. The City has retained this exhibit for filing with its copy of
the Industrial District Agreement We trust that you will secure Exhibit "B" to complete
your copy of the Industrial District Agreement. It appears that Exhibits "A" and "B" for
E.l. duPont de Nemours Company are the same for Fairmont Supply Company, Inc. If you
have documentation that independently distinguishes the property and improvements for E.I.
duPont de Nemours Company and Fairmont Supply Company, Inc., please forward.
Exhibit "B" is new to the Industrial District Agreements. In the past, the City has not had
a complete and cohesive map of the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) with participants in
.the Industrial District Agreements delineated. It is our intent to use this exhibit as a base
for developing such a map. We also feel that these exhibits will assist in monitoring the
faithful performance of the Industrial District Agreements as well as aiding long-range
planning activities and in some instances responding to emergency situations within the ETJ.
If you do not have this information, cannot readily develop it, or need to discuss this
request, please contact my Assistant City Manager John Joerns.
Thank you for your assistance in completing these documents.
Sincerely,
