      Dear
      Sir:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      have
      been
      asked
      by
      Mr.
      Clough
      to
      respond
      to
      your
      letter
      regarding
     
     
      P
      C

      The
      P
      C
      B's
      on
      campus
      are
      located
      in
      electrical
      transformers
      and
     
     
      were
      installed
      in
      the
      early
      70's
      when
      the
      buildings
      were
     
     
      constructed.
      The
      volume
      of
      P
      Cc
      B's
      in
      the
      transformers
      is
     
    
   
   
    
     
      approximately
      780
      gals.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Environment
      Canada
      inspects
      these
      transformers
      every
      six
      months
      and
     
     
      by
      our
      forces
      monthly,

      We
      are
      contemplating
