Dear Ms. Alicea-Virella and Mr. Covington: 

Subject: Request for Release of Information- From Docket No. EPA-HQ-OW2009-0819 ***PROMPT RESPONSE REQUESTED*** 

Our facilities provided information that is being used to inform EPA's development of the 

proposed revision of the effluent limitations guidelines and standards for the steam 

electric power generating point source (ELG Rule). The facilities listed below either 

responded to earlier ELG Rule questionnaires to the industry or provided information to 

you through other means, such as site visits or separate information requests. The 

specific facilities in question are as follows: 

• Intermountain Power Plant, Delta Utah 

• Haynes Generating Station, Long Beach, California, 

NPDES #CA0000363, Cl #2769 

We have identified certain record documents which we believe contain information 

reported by, or derived from data or information reported by, one or more of our 

facilities. EPA has redacted all or portions of these documents as "Confidential 

Business Information" (CBI). 

We are requesting that you provide to us all information related to the facilities listed 

above (including information that EPA has derived from information obtained from our 

facilities and from all other sources, and including facility-specific or facility-derived 

information in input files to the listed documents) contained within the following 

documents:

Please include all information from these documents that relates to our facilities. For 

example, our facilities supplied information about existing control technologies. 

Through this request, we are requesting not only the control technologies information 

supplied by our facilities, but also control technologies information about our facilities 

derived from other sources, as well as all EPA-developed information relating to our 

control technologies, including EPA's assessments offuture technology choices for our 

facilities based on the various rule options. 

For each document, as appropriate, ·please also include: (1) a legend which explains 

each column heading and each abbreviation used throughout the entire document; and 
q

g 

providing the information only to us, there is no breach of confidentiality and no waiver 

of CBI protections. Furthermore, we are not requesting CBI information, or CBI-derived 

information, from other companies that may have furnished data or information 

appearing in the listed documents. We are requesting only information related to our 

own facilities. 

We have done our best to be selective in asking for facility-specific information. The 

information we are seeking, however, is critical to our review of, and preparation of 

comments on, the proposed ELG Rule. Because there are less than 50 days left in 

the comment period, we ask that you expedite this request. 

If you have any questions about this request, please call or email me at 213-367-0436 

or krubin@ladwp.com. I look forward to your prompt response. Thank you very much 

for your help. Since Katherine Rubin 

Manager of Wastewater Quality and Compliance
