United States Gypsum Company plant at St. Paul, Minnesota

At St. Paul, Minnesota, United States Gypsum Company made roofing from 1967 to 1975, according to the company's sworn answers to interrogatories in two lawsuits, in 1986 and 1988, which both name the city as the manufacturing location.^1,2 Those answers describe U.S. Gypsum's Roofing in general, not only what this plant made: first produced in 1937, with asbestos content of "approximately 0.6 - 1 % by volume."^1,2 The answers do not agree on when roofing ended: the lists of products give 1975 as the last year produced, while another page of the 1988 answers gives 1976 as the "Last Date of Manufacture" and names as a reason for stopping the "Cost of Compliance with proposed lower OSHA standards within the plant."^1,2
