NESHAP ICR - Exide Vernon 

 

Mr. French, 

 

We have posted the Exide Technologies (Vernon, CA) Final Reports for the ICR testing for the Secondary Lead Smelter 

Industry. 

 

The posted location is ftp://ftp.erg.com/outgoing/Secondary Lead Data. 

 

Please be aware that: 

 

• The preliminary data for mercury (Hg) submitted at the end of September has been revised due to a 

laboratory reporting error. The mercury (Hg) emissions should be reduced by a factor of 1,000. 

• The final report was not entered into the ERT since a predominance of the test methods are not 

supported by ERT. The test methods utilized were primarily CARB test methods since the testing 

provided a dual purpose of satisfying the requirements of AB2588, the Air Toxics “Hot Spots” 

Information and Assessment Act. 

 

Please contact me if you need additional information. 

 

Thanks

Secondary Lead Smelting - ICR Exide (Vernon) 

 

Danny, 

 

Attached is the summary of results from the recently conducted ICR testing conducted at the Exide facility located in 

Vernon, California. 

 

It is our understanding that the preliminary data/results are to be sent to the attention of Chuck French (EPA) and 

yourself by today. 

 

The final report and results will utilize the ERT system and will be submitted in a couple of weeks (due 10/18/10). 

 

The facility data was too large a file to be included in this e-mail, and will be posted on the 

FTP.ERG.com /outgoing/Secondary Lead Data web location. 

 

I may need to contact you tomorrow, as today’s password was not allowing me to access. 

 

Please contact us if you have any questions. 

 

Thanks
