H. B. Rhodes to J. L. Myers on California SB-678 (Nejedly) and Asbestos in Drilling Fluids, with Copy of the Bill (1979)

Internal Union Carbide memo from Harrison B. Rhodes to J. L. Myers responding to a July 3, 1979 request for comments on California SB-678. The memo says California waste disposal regulations list asbestos as a hazardous material and that adding asbestos to otherwise "clean" drilling fluids would subject them to the bill's restrictions. It is followed by a copy of the amended Senate Bill 678, which carries a handwritten note addressed to HBR.
