General Subject: 2011 DMR Discharges for Honeywell International

TOPICS DISCUSSED AND ACTION TAKEN

Scott Wolff: 804-541-5631

Andrew Parker: 804-541-5734

On December 13th I called Scott Wolff and he told me that Andrew Parker would be a better contact. Mr. Wolff 

stated that the facility permit had not changed since 2008 and that monitoring for hexachlorobenzene is done 

once per year. He said the flow for outfall 101 is usually around 20 MGD. Mr. Wolff stated that Mr. Parker is 

out today but will be in on Monday. 

On December 16th, I called Andrew Parker. Mr. Parker looked up the facility data for hexachlorobenzene and 

PACs compounds for 2011 and stated that the data is missing a BDL indicator (it also is missing this indicator 

for 2010 and 2013). They started sampling for the organic compounds in 2011 but all data was below the 

detection limit. Mr. Parker is going to look into the reason behind why the BDL indicator is missing and get 

back to me in early January. 

On January 8th, 2014 I called and left a message for Mr. Parker.

On January 15th, 2014 I called and left a message for Mr. Parker.

On January 16th, I called Mr. Parker. Since he did not pick up, I called Scott Wolff and left a message asking if 

he could provide the information. 

On January 17th, I called Mr. Wolff and he stated that Mr. Parker is in the office and should be getting back to 

me soon. He stated that their permit was reissued in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the start of 2009 would be 

when the facility sampled and reported discharges based on the new permit. 

I also called Mr. Parker on January 17th and left him a message with my email address and phone number.

I called Mr. Parker on January 20th and left a message.

I called Mr. Parker on January 22nd and left a message.

I called Mr. Parker on January 24th and left a message.

Subject: RE: Honeywell International discharges hexachlorobenzene

Mr. Parker,

Thank you for getting back to me. There are also many polycyclic aromatic compound (PAC) 

discharges in 2011 including benzo(a)pyrene and benz(a)anthracene. Are the PAC discharges 

also below detection limits? 

Additionally, was there a permit change from 2009 to 2010 that initiated sampling for 

hexachlorobenzene and PACs discharges? 

Thank you!

Kimberly

All, 

In a review of the Honeywell –Hopewell hexachlorobenzene data over the past 4 years there 

have not been any detectable results (see list below)

 Aug 2010 - < 5 ppb

 Aug 2011 - < 5 ppb

 Aug 2012 - < 5 ppb

 Aug 2013 - < 5 ppb

It has been confirmed that proper < QL indicators were not properly marked on the DMRs

Subject: Honeywell International discharges hexachlorobenzene

Dear Mr. Andrew Parker:

During EPA’s routine annual review of industrial wastewater discharges as required under the 

Clean Water Act, we noticed that data was reported in the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) 

system for Honeywell International showing discharges of hexachlorobenzene from one outfall. 

We contacted you (through our contractor ERG, Inc.—Kimberly Bartell) to get further 

information about these discharges. You confirmed that a BDL (Below Detection Levels) 

indicator was missing related to the data and that the facility started sampling for 

hexachlorobenzene and other organic compounds in 2011. 

We asked about the reason behind the start up in sampling and you indicated you would get back 

to us with an explanation. Since then we have not heard back from you and our calls have gone 

unreturned.

We would like to confirm with you the reason the facility started sampling for the organic 

compounds in recent years, and if other BDL indicators may be missing.

Could you please respond to our inquiry.

Thank you.
