Subject: Fw: Questionnaire for Canned and Preserved Seafood Processing Facilities

Folks -

Please note the response to this small processor on the Kenai Peninsula.

We have agreed to his request to delay his response until approximately

the close of the salmon season because of the narrow and unique

circumstances, but we have not agreed to exclude Inlet Fish because we

need data for small processors. I strongly suggest that we keep these

inquiries and our responses separate and internal as I am concerned

about the large processors coming back to us if they hear about this

extension. Moreover, as a caution, while we hope that none of those

processors that received the Q will be outside the scope, if there are

any such facilities, we must receive that information by way of a

completed Q and a signed Certification, not simply someone's phone call.

Moreover, we set out a process in the cover letter for requesting any

extensions, and we should continue to follow that process, and allow a

reasonable extension where it is really necessary but request those

responses (e.g., some but not all facilities, processing vessels) to be

returned as they are completed. Similarly regarding processing vessels

operated by one of the larger companies (e.g., Trident, Icicle, Ocean

Beauty, etc.), if one or more is out of scope, we need for them to tell

us by responding (i.e., question B-6) and signing the Certification, not

a phone call.

Thanks much,

Don

Vince -

Thank you for the time you have already taken at the head end of your

busy salmon season. We understand your responsibilities and lack of

staff to respond to the questionnaire, and thus we sincerely appreciate

your very serious concerns for lack of time to respond to the

questionnaire until the end of the season.

We have carefully considered your request and we accept your offer to

respond by the end of September 2010. Please understand that one of the

most important reasons for the questionnaire is to obtain information

and data from the entire range of facility sizes, particularly small

processors, as the Clean Water Act requires EPA to consider economic

achievability of our regulations. We will do so in a considerate and

respectful manner given your unique circumstances. Moreover, we also

look forward to speaking with you about your thoughts regarding creative

options to utilize fish waste on the Kenai Peninsula, particularly

recycle / reuse options.

Thank you again for the time you have already spent, and we look forward

to your very valuable responses and input in September.

Don

Dear Mr Anderson:
As you are probably aware, I sent the following email to the wrong Mr

Anderson at EPA. The other Mr Anderson was kind enough to forward it to

you and to so inform me. However, it looked to me that the attachment

was not included in the forwarded email. Without the attachment, the

email does not make much sense, so I am forwarding the original

communication to you.

Thanks,

Vincent Goddard

 [attachment "EPA re Waste Questionnaire 5-05-2010.doc" deleted by

 Dear Messrs Siddiqui, Doley and Anderson:

 Please read and consider our preliminary response to the

 "Questionnaire" in the attached letter.

 I would appreciate from each of you:

 1) An immediate response to confirm that you have received this

 email and that you can open and read the attachment.

 2) A later response to each of our underlined "Response Requests"

 detailed in the letter. I believe that there are specific

 responses which will be coming from each of you, and that combined

 you should be answering all eight Response Requests. Please

 coordinate among yourselves who will respond to each of our

 "Response Requests" enumerated in the letter.

 Please copy each party so that between the three of you it can be

 determined (from the EPA side) that all of our questions have been

 answered.

 As noted in the letter, this Questionnaire has arrived at the very

 beginning of our very very busy salmon season, and so I request

 your understanding for our delayed response as further suggested

 in the body of the letter.

 Meanwhile, this is actually a matter to which I have dedicated

 much time and consideration in the past, and I think that there

 are a number of creative options for using fish waste here on the

 Kenai Peninsula. I would be pleased to talk at length with all of

 you about these ideas and potential projects, but must delay any

 such interaction until our season has been completed in September.
 Thanks and regards,

 Vincent Goddard
