On March 9, 2011 at 2:18pm Billy Clark returned my call and apologized for not getting back to me sooner. He

stated that the BDL indicator should be added to the Dec. 2009 benzidine concentration. He also stated that Dec 2009 was higher than normal due to dilution factors. The results came back non

MGD. None of the flows for 2009 exceed this value. I thanked him for his time and told him I’d call back with any further questions.

Dear Mr. Arbuthnot,

Thank you for your time on the phone this morning. Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG) under EPA

Contract No. 68

- C

- 02

- 095 is e

- mailing you on EPA’s behalf to request clarification of 2009 discharge monitoring reports for the Clean Harbors Baton Rouge in Baton Rouge, LA (LA0038245). 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. 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 2011 annual review of exis ting 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 2011 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan scheduled for publication in the Federal Register in December 2011. As part of the 2011 annual review, EPA is evaluating the data in discharge monitoring reports from 2009 and needs further information to complete the revie w.

We would like to obtain additional information on the following quantity data for Benzidine discharges from your facility. Our records show the following quantity was discharged:

Outfall 001: Benzidine (Dec 2009): 1.584 lbs/day

Additionally, the b elow detection limit symbol is missing from Dec 2009. Was the quantity reported below

the detection limit?

We appreciate your help in confirming if the above data are accurate, or if there are units errors in the DMR data, as we expect.

Please call me at (703) 633
