16Clary, "Memoir of a Dogfight."

17Kawamoto interview; in "Memoir of a Dogfight," Clary remarks that he does not recall the "blue envelope" procedure as Kawamoto described it. He suggests that Kawamoto may have responded to the possibility that Clary threatened to go over Kawamoto's head with the memo David Clary, Personal Diary, October 18, 1974, notes he "spent all of this week drafting a preliminary report and letters to ACHP [Advisory Council on Historic Preservation] & SHPO [State Historic Preservation Office]." It is not clear from the record whether this was required of Clary or if this might be the behavior to which Kawamoto referred as a "blue envelope." Also in "Dogfight," Clary alludes to the preparation of a 106 report, which he asserts, Kawamoto changed into a "rather duplicitous" version that went to the regional director, and avers that he talked to "his colleagues in WASO [Washington Office] and even in ACHP, but that was routine because professionals share factual information with each other all the time."

Although Bearss does not state that the plant produced artificial gas, his description of the structures being razed mirrors those of artificial gas plants. Lagemann recalled a photograph of the plant in operation and referred to it as a "coke works," a common name for artificial gas plants. If this inference is correct, there may be toxic materials in the ground at the location of the gas plant and in the surrounding area. In the 1980s and 1990s, artificial gas plants have been incriminated in CERCLA, more commonly known as Superfund, cases; see Hal K. Rothman "Historian v.
