The one source here for United States Gypsum Company's plant at Hagersville, Canada, is a 1990 EPA notice that published what USG reported: it names Hagersville among the plants for several of the company's texture finishes and plasters, giving years for each product across all the plants that made it rather than for Hagersville alone.1 The notice lists Textone Texture Finish, "1928 to 1977 at 7 plants," and A-B Tex Texture Paint, "1935 to 1974 at 7 plants."1 It names Hagersville for two fireproofing plasters in its Firecode D & V line: Red Top Firecode Plaster (D), "1959 to 1964 at 12 plants," and Red Top Firecode "V" Plaster, "1962 to 1969 at 16 plants."1 It also lists Hagersville for Imperial "QT" (Spray) Texture Finish-LC, "produced 1965 to 1968."1
In its sworn answers to interrogatories in a 1986 lawsuit, USG gave the asbestos content of the Firecode plasters as "Approximately 12% by volume."2 For its texture products the company's answers give figures that differ from version to version, such as ".5 - 10.0% by volume" for Textone and "1.2 - 1.6% by volume" for A-B Tex; these figures describe the products, not Hagersville's output in particular.3
