General Subject: 2013 DMR Cadmium Discharges for Henderson City Landfill (KY0097675)

TOPICS DISCUSSED AND ACTION TAKEN

City of Henderson Landfill: 790 Stratman Road, Henderson, KY 42420

270-831-1234 (main number)

I called the landfill on February 12th and was given the phone number for Brian Williams at the city of public 

works.

Brian Williams: 270-831-1225

I called Mr. Williams on February 12th and gave him the specific information I was looking for. He stated that 

he would review the data and call me back. 

On February 13th, Jason Anderson with SMR Environmental Services called me back on behalf of Henderson 

Landfill to discuss DMR data (Cell: 270-256-2621, email: Jason@smrenv.com). He stated that if he 

remembered correctly the March 2013 sample was not a representative sample from the facility. The facility 

had a large rainstorm event and had flooding in their leachate tank which caused the high cadmium discharges. 

He stated that if I could send an email he could confirm the data and what happened at that time. Please see 

attached email correspondence.

Kimberly:

On behalf of the City of Henderson Landfill, SMR would like to inform you that this was a one time outlier for cadmium 

on this discharge as the transfer station on site had a leachate tank flood on the same date as the sampling was conducted 

for this outfall. Therefore this was not a representative sample for this outfall.

Subject: 2013 DMR Clarification for Cadmium Discharges

Dear Jason,

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 2013 discharge monitoring reports for Henderson City Landfill 

in Henderson, KY (KY0097675). Please see background information below.

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

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 2015 annual review of existing 

effluent guidelines and potential industrial guidelines which may need to be included (see
Need to return call by / at/between and . Signature:

http://www.epa.gov/guide/304m/ for further information). EPA will discuss this review and the results in its 2015 Effluent 

Guidelines Program Plan scheduled for publication in the Federal Register sometime in 2015 or 2016. As part of the 2015 

annual review, EPA is evaluating the data in discharge monitoring reports from 2013 and needs further information to 

complete the review.

We would like to obtain additional information on the following 2013 discharge data for Henderson City Landfill. Our 

records show the following values were discharged from outfall 001:

Date

Cadmium 

Concentration 

(mg/L) Flow (MGD)

3/31/2013 52.5 0.1

6/30/2013 <0.002 0.014

12/31/2013 <0.0001 0.006

We appreciate your help in confirming if the above data are accurate, or if there are 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
