INTRODUCTION
Today Chemagro Corporation of Kansas City, Missouri is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FARBENFABRIKEN BAYER AG of Leverkusen, West Germany. Chemagro's executive offices and manufacturing facilities are located in the northeast
industrial district of Kansas City, Missouri. The plant site is located at the confluence of the Big Blue and Missouri Rivers.
The parent company pioneered in creating and marketing agricultural chemicals on a global basis. Its first synthetic insecticide was created as early as
1892, and today it markets a complete line of agricultural chemical products in
more than 100 countries.
MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES
The manufacturing facilities at this site involve the production of suchorgano-
phosphorus pesticides as CO-RALR, DASANITR, BAYTEXr, DI-SYSTONr, GU-
THIONR, META-SYSTOX-RR, SYSTOXR, and others. More than 40 major raw
materials are usedto produce the entire product line in multi-product, batch-type
facilities. Water, another very essential material, is utilized for sanitation,
cleaning equipment, heat transfer, washing products, and as a solvent or carrier
stream.
Since essentially all organic chemical processes involve reactions that reach
equilibrium or are otherwise stopped short of completion, leaving unreacted or
partially reacted materials to either be recovered or to enter the environment,
one might suspect that a waste-water stream from an operation such as that described above could have qualitatively the following physical and chemical characteristics: a) floating scum; b) colloids; c) emulsifying agents; d) solvents; e)
organics; and f) inorganics.
WASTE-WATER PROBLEM
i
The waste-waters generated by Chemagro's manufacturing operations resulted
in a water pollution problem which is unique among industrial wastes in general,
although perhaps characteristic for the pesticide industry. These waste-waters
contained residues from approximately 30 different formulations of organic phos-
