TOPICS DISCUSSED AND ACTION TAKEN

On May 6th, 2015 at 3:37 pm I called Mike Williams and left a message – 386-397-8473.

On May 7th, 2015 at 11:11am I called the PCS Facility general number (386-397-8473) requesting to speak with 

someone about the DMR discharges and left a message.

On May 11th, 2015 at 12:45pm I called the PCS Facility general number and left a message.

On May 11th, 2015 at 1:00pm I called Bill Ellis (386-397-8400), the phone rang several times then asked to 

direct me to an extension directory or the operator (the message machine I have left 2 previous messages with).

On May 11th 2015, at 1:07pm I called Vernon Lloyd (listed as 904-397-8101), the individual who answered said 

I had an incorrect number.

On May 12th, 2015, at 1:08pm I called Elsa Potts (previously contacted by Kim Bartell for Koppers, Inc 2015 

Outlier Review) - (850) 245 – 8589. She gave me the contact of Tom Kallemeyn as the head permit writer for 

the Northeast District (Jacksonville). (904) 256 – 1616.

On May 12th, 2015 at 1:13pm I called Tom Kallemeyn. He was able to confirm that the sampling location was 

in Swift Creek, so this would be a composite for all internal outfalls. He was unable to find how the facility was 

calculating the flow for outfall 001 and found a man named Jeff Martin, who joined us on the phone. Mr. 

Martin was not sure from just looking at the facility permit and said he would contact the facility and get back 

to me.

On May 18th, 2015 at 4:12pm I called Tom Kallemeyn and left a message asking if he an update on progress 

with contacting the facility.

On May 22nd, 2015 at 2:46pm Jeff Martin left a message.

On May 26th, 2015 at 10:52am I returned Mr. Martin’s call and left a message.

On May 28th

, 2015 at 1:37pm Mr. Martin returned my call and explained the FLDEP has a permit revision for 

the facility which was completed a few days ago. This permit is more descriptive on how the flows are 

calculated. He explained outfall 001 flow is a sum of two main internal outfalls, I-S018 and I-S04. I asked for a 

contact for the facility and Mr. Martin said he would send that, as well as the revised permit and water balance 

diagrams to me via email. Please see attached email correspondence.

On May 28th, 2015 at 2:09pm I called Bob White (contact for PCS recommended by Jeff Martin) and left a 

voicemail.

On May 29th, 2015 at 11:20am Mr. White returned my call and explained that the facility is about 40,000 acres. 

The facility’s permit covers every inch of rainfall that falls within this area and since the facility rests on high 

ground, the water flowing from head streams to tributaries end up in the region. The flow is cyclic, therefore, 

due to the wet season and is controlled by Florida’s rainfall. Mr. White explained 2011 was a dry year, and 

2012 was relatively dry besides Tropical Storm Debbie, whereas 2014 was about 20 inches average about the 

normal rainfall. The increased flow is not based on the facility’s production, in fact, a portion of the facility shut 

down recently. It represents the hydrological cycle in and around the plant area.
