General Subject: 2011 TRI Pulp and Paper Dioxin Discharges

TOPICS DISCUSSED AND ACTION TAKEN

On January 30, 2013 ERG held a conference call with Paul Wiegand of NCASI and Jerry Schwartz of AF&PA. 

Kim Bartell and Liz Sabol were on the phone from ERG. ERG explained that EPA wants to confirm its 2011 

TRI Pulp and Paper Dioxin Discharges for four pulp and paper facilities. The data was reviewed with NCASI 

and AF&PA and they requested more specific questions for each mill. They also wanted to know why these 

four facilities had been chosen; it was explained that they were the highest ranking in terms of TWPE for the 

pulp and paper category. Mr. Wiegand and Mr. Schwartz also requested that ERG provide some of our 

conclusions when looking at the sampling data. They stated that to their knowledge the facilities have not been 

using the DMR Loading Tool recently.

Paul Wiegand: pwiegand@ncasi.org, 919-941-6417

Jerry Schwartz: jerry_schwartz@afandpa.org, 800-878-8878

On February 22, 2013 I spoke with Jerry Schwartz of AF&PA. He had sent the response from S.D. Warren and 

stated that they are always willing to cooperate with us but that they perform the same calculations every year. 

The facility is wondering if they will be contacted again regarding their dioxin discharges. I told Mr. Schwartz 

that we would only contact the facility in the future if their data looks off and raises a concern since we have 

documented their calculation process for dioxin discharges. Mr. Schwartz stated that he would communicate 

this to the plant. 

Please see attached email correspondence for additional information on pulp facilities.

Kimberly,

I have been in communication with David Rogers at Rayonier’s mill in Fernandina Beach, FL regarding your 

request for information related to 2011 TRI reports for dioxin and dioxin-like compounds. The text below provides 

responses to the four questions you posed concerning differences between 2009 and 2011 TRI reports. The attached 

files support those responses. Please let me know if you have additional questions.

1. Please confirm the 2011 dioxin distribution shown above (in the attached spreadsheet).

The data in the spreadsheet are correct.

2. Are there any updated sampling data for dioxin compounds (updated data sources, new sampling, 

etc.)? 

Yes. A copy of the data used for the 2011 TRI reports is provided. 

3. Can you explain why congeners 5 and 10 were reported in the 2009 distribution and reported as "0" in 

the 2011 distribution? 

We did not have any hits in the 2011 samplings for congeners 5 or 10, the values were all ND. 
4. If there are updated sampling data, please provide a copy of the results. Were any congeners detected 

above the Method 1613B Minimum Level in 2011 (see table above for minimum levels)? 

As you can see in the attached information, there were hits above the Method 1613B Minimum Level for 

cogener 7 at a mean of 268.7 pg/L and cogener 8 at a mean of 18.5 pg/L.

Kimberly,

Find attached a spreadsheet that was prepared by Boise’s Wallula mill staff in response to your questions concerning 

the 2011 TRI report for dioxin and dioxin-like compounds. I think the answers are straightforward but if you have 

additional questions I’d be happy to coordinate responses with the company.

Jerry,

Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to confirm one thing with you: when SAPPI states below that the congener data in 

columns 13 & 14 had been reversed, they are referencing congeners 13 and 14, correct? The columns are labeled 

with letters not numbers so I'm assuming they are talking about the congeners 13 & 14 but I wanted to double check 

with you to make sure I am interpreting it correctly. 

Thank you!

Kim: Here is the response from SAPPI. I think it is pretty self-explanatory. Also, I will give you a call tomorrow to 

discuss one aspect of this. Thanks. 

Jerry,

As discussed the calculation process for 2011 was the same as previous years. The concentration data obtained in 

2002 was applied to the annual flow rate and then we made corrections for the naturally occurring congers ( i.e. 

OCDD, HpCDD and OCDF ) contained in the mill’s receiving water, pulp wood and kaolin clay. After review of the 

2011 data it was found that the congener data in columns 13 and 14 had been inadvertently reversed. As discussed 

this does not change the reported totals. 

Kind Regards,

Kim Hibbard

Based on our call last week, ERG revised the dioxin data excel spreadsheet to include facility specific questions. 

Attached please find the revised spreadsheet. As before, there are four facilities included in the spreadsheet along 

with individual dioxin distributions for each facility.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the data or if you would like to set up another call. 

Thank you!
