A handwritten note dated April 11, 1984 from Nick Webb to Bill Young asks whether a wetting method for removing pipe insulation could be tried on the plant's stripping projects. Young's handwritten replies are added, and he forwarded it to Jack Gillespie, Area I Maintenance Superintendent. The second page is a Chemical Week clipping (April 4, 1984) on a Southwest Research Institute process using an ethylene glycol and water solution to reduce fiber release when removing asbestos insulation.
