OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE RATING: 2-3REVISED INITIAL REVIEW ENGINEERING REPORT
PMN: 04-0319

NOTES & KEY ASSUMPTIONS: This substance will be imported; therefore manufacturing assessments have not been made in this IRER. The submitter was contacted to answer questions, see contact report for details. The generic scenario for use of printing inks was used to make
assessments for USE 1.

The generic scenario for wet cleaning process in IC fabrication was used to make assessments for USE 2. Different submitter, similar use past cases were referenced for consistency. Past case also referenced the generic scenario for web cleaning process and all assessments were consistent with this IRER.

No past cases were found for USE 4, heating oils; standard CEB estimates were used to make assessments. Generic scenarios for UV curable roll coating and automotive spraying were used to make
end use assessments for USE 5.

POLLUTION PREVENTION CONSIDERATIONS: The PMN material is a non-odorous substitute for kerosene. Its use will result in a significantly reduced exposure to aromatics, because this material does not contain the aromatics that kerosene does. Therefore, the overall risk to human health and the environment will be reduced.

EXPOSURE-BASED REVIEW: NoREVISED INITIAL REVIEW ENGINEERING REPORT
PMN: 04-0319

PROC 1: receive imported PMN from ships to storage tanks

Number of Sites: 1 Submitter site (Deer Park, TX 77536) Days/yr: 15 (past case ) Note: unloading from ship to storage tank expected to occur on less than 200 dpy

ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASES ESTIMATE SUMMARY

Incineration 180,000 kg/site-yr from: Cleaning Liquid Residuals from Tank Trucks Used to Transport the Raw Material (16 kg/site-day); Equipment Cleaning Losses of Liquids (80 kg/site-day) from a Single, Large Vessel basis: EPA/OPPT Bulk Transport Residual Model, CEB standard 0.2% residual.; EPA/OPPT Single Vessel Residual Model, CEB standard 1% residual. Because PMN is a PMN is mixture of C10-C13 parafins, did not use worst case water estimate for container cleaning - per (US EPA/CEB), water releases from oils/gases to water is not expected. Submission states steam cleaning of storage tanks approximately every 6 months. Once PMN is combined with other materials, resumed worst case water assessments.
