United States Gypsum Company plant at Stony Point, New York

Stony Point, New York, appears in the sources as one of the United States Gypsum Company's plants for its Red Top Firecode fireproofing plaster: a 1990 EPA notice that published what USG reported said "Red Top Firecode Plaster (D)" was made "1959 to 1964 at 12 plants" and "Red Top Firecode 'V' Plaster" "1962 to 1969 at 16 plants," and Stony Point is among the plants it names for both.¹ Those are Firecode D and V; USG's sworn answers in a 1986 lawsuit give different years for Firecode V, "First Produced 1964" and "Last Produced 1968."² The same answers give the plaster's asbestos as "Approximately 12% by volume," a figure for the product in general, not for Stony Point's output in particular.²
