Subject: 2011 DMR Clarification for TCDD Discharges

Dear Mr. Mooney,

Thank you for your time on the phone today. Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG) under EPA Contract No. 

EP-C-12-021,is e-mailing you on EPA's behalf to request clarification of 2011 discharge monitoring reports 

for Rayonier Performance Fibers in Jesup, GA (GA0003620). Here is some background on what the 

information is used for. 

EPA reviews publicly-available DMR data to fulfill its review obligation under Section 304(b) of the Clean 

Water Act (CWA). The CWA requires EPA to annually review and, if appropriate, revise its water pollution 

control technology-based regulations, called "effluent limitations guidelines" or "effluent guidelines," that 

limit the discharge of pollutants to waters of the U.S. from various categories of industrial facilities. EPA is 

currently conducting its 2013 annual review of existing effluent guidelines and potential industrial 

guidelines which may need to be included (see http://www.epa.gov/guide/304m/ for further information). 

EPA will discuss this review and the results in its 2013 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan scheduled for 

publication in the Federal Register in 2014. As part of the 2013 annual review, EPA is evaluating the data 

in discharge monitoring reports from 2011 and needs further information to complete the review.

We would like to obtain additional information on the following 2011 discharge data for 2,3,7,8-

Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin for your facility. Our records show the following values were discharged: 

Outfall 0A0:

Date

2,3,7,8-TCDD 

Concentration 

(mg/L)

Wastewater Flow 

(MGD)

3/31/2011 4.5E-09 52

6/30/2011 8.1E-09 54

9/30/2011 1.95E-09 57.1

12/31/2011 8.5E-10 54.1

Please also send a copy of your current NPDES permit. We appreciate your help in confirming if the above 

data are accurate, or if there are units errors in the DMR data. 
Please call me at (517) 515-1721 if you have any questions. If you would like to speak directly with EPA 

regarding this request, you can contact William F. Swietlik of EPA's Office of Water/Engineering Analysis 

Division by phone at (202) 566-1129 or by email: swietlik.william@epa.gov.

Thank you,

Kimberly

Kim,

All four of our results for 2011 were non-detectable. Your table displays values that are half the 

detection limits we reported except for the value listed for 6/30/2011. The value we reported in our 

DMR for 6/30/2011 was <8.1 E-09. Half of that would be 4.05 E-09.

We reported the following in 2011:

3/31 <9 E-09 mg/l

6/30 <8.1 E-09 mg/l

9/30 <3.9 E-09 mg/l

12/31 <1.7 E-09 mg/l

Brian.
