Overview

II Both Nalco and Buckman sell ammonia for use in proprietary systems in which

ammonia and sodium hypochlorite react to form MCA which is the active

ingredient supplied by each system for water treatment

III Registration of ammonia is necessary because MCA is too unstable to exist as

marketable commodity no EPA-approved sodium hypochlorite label has

instructions for use with ammonia to safely produce MCA and the continued use

of unregistered ammonia to produce MCA presents unnecessary and potentially

unreasonable risks to human health and the environment

IV Ammonia does not sequester or release chlorine and is not an adjuvant

ammonia does react with sodium hypochlorite to produce an entirely new active

ingredient MCA which has distinct properties from hypochlorous acid

EPA should promptly deny Nalcos Petition to revoke Buckmans ammonia

registrations because the Agency has properly registered Buckmans ammonia as

precursor of MCA for water treatment 11

VI EPA should immediately prohibit further distribution and sale of unregistered

ammonia for water treatment because the continued sale of unregistered

ammonia to the same customers for and for the same uses as Buckmans

registered ammonia presents unnecessary and potentially unreasonable risks to

human health and the environment contradicts and undermines the Agencys

proper registration of Buckman ammonia and unfairly damages the commercial

Overview

Nalco Companys hereinafter Nalcos December 2007 Request That EPA

Reconsider Its Registration for Ammonia Products as Precursors to Chloramine Used in Water

Treatment and Provide Assurance That There Is No Risk of Enforcement during the

Reconsideration and Any Necessary Transition Period hereinafter Nalcos Petition is

tirade against EPAs registrations of BCMW EPA Reg No 1448-432 and Busan 1215 EPA

Reg No 1448-433 Buckman Laboratories Inc.s hereinafter Buckmans manufacturinguse and end-use ammonia products respectively The violence of Nalcos protest tacitly

acknowledges Nalcos need to register its own current end-use ammonia product Nalcon 60620

because Nalcon 60620 and Busan 1215 essentially have the same composition are used by the

same industrial users in the same manner for water disinfection and are considered

interchangeable products in the marketplace Nalco Petition ignores the unknown and

potentially unreasonable risks presented by the ongoing use of unregistered ammonia to produce

monochloramine hereinafter MCA including human health risks from unapproved residues

of MCA in paper used for food packaging and toxicity to aquatic organisms from MCA residues

in industrial waste water Not surprisingly Nalco also ignores the significant and ongoing

damage being done unfairly to the commercial value of Buckman ammonia registrations and

to Buckmans ability to recoup its investment in such registrations by Nalcos ongoing sale of

unregistered ammonia with EPAs temporary permission which has lengthened to seven

months with no end in sight

Coincidentally we have obtained pre-publication Federal Register notice attached hereto as Exhibit which

reports that Zentox Corporation has petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to use MCA as food additive

specifically as an antimicrobial agent in poultry process chiller water emphasis added even though EPA has not

registered MCA or ammonia for any such use This food additive petition underscores the urgent need for EPA to

publicly affirm its jurisdiction over MCA specifically to prohibit the further distribution and sale of unregistered

ammonia for any water treatment use including poultry processing
To justify the status quo Nalco offers series of increasingly erratic and unfocused

arguments Initially Nalco alleges that ammonia cannot be registered because it is not an active

ingredient Nalcos Petition at 6-7 but later flip-flops and acknowledges that in fact EPA can

register precursor of an active ingredient where registration of the active ingredient itself is not

practical Nalcos Petition at exactly as EPA has done with BCMW and Busan 1215

because the registration of MCA itself for water treatment is impractical Then Nalco agrees

that combining ammonia and sodium hypochlorite produces MCA Nalcos Petition at in

chemical reaction known since the early 1900s but alleges that MCA is not an active ingredient

that is separate from chlorine hypochlorous acid Nalcos Petition at 8-9 11 even though

the production of MCA is reaction that is not considered reversible i.e once formed MCA

does not readily break down into or otherwise produce ammonia and hypochlorous

acid/hypochlorite ions and despite that EPA and industry recognize MCA as distinct active

ingredient with valuable properties that are different from those of hypochlorous acid Nalco

also plays variations on the foregoing theme specifically that ammonia sequesters and

releases chlorine by novel chemical process that Nalco never explains Nalcos Petition at

6-7 11-12 and that ammonia is only an adjuvant used with chlorine and thus requires no

registration Nalcos Petition at 15 even though ammonia reacts completely with sodium

hypochlorite to form new active ingredient MCA and thus does not hold or release

hypochlorous acid and does not resemble any adjuvant

For the foregoing reasons as articulated and explained in this petition we respectfully

request pursuant to section 553e of the Administrative Procedures Act U.S.C 553e that

EPA deny Nalcos Petition and immediately prohibit further distribution and sale of unregistered

ammonia for water treatment Nalco has asked for time to register ammonia but neither needs

-2-
nor deserves any additional time Nalco has had notice of EPAs policy on the registration of

ammonia for water treatment since the Agencys registration of Buckmans ammonia products

on March 2007 Since then period of 18 months Nalco has found ample time to make

two lengthy and duplicative submissions and one responsive submission to EPA in order to

subvert the Agencys registration of Buckmans ammonia products Neither of Nalcos original

filings ever had likelihood much less certainty of persuading EPA to revoke its considered

registrations of ammonia which Nalco knew at the time of its filings Indeed as recently as

July 15 2008 the Agency amended Buckmans registration of Busan 1215 to add new use

industrial water systems which suggests no intent by EPA to grant either of Nalco original

requests to revoke Buckmans ammonia registrations Accordingly in addition to filing petitions

with EPA Nalco also should have filed or at minimum prepared itself fully to file an

application to register ammonia sometime during the past 18 months If as it appears Nalco has

chosen instead to focus wholly on speculative petition effort intended to manipulate EPA into

allowing Nalco to remain on the market without an ammonia registration and thereby to

continue to compete with Buckman unfairly and specifically to erode its customer base the

Agency should not now reward Nalco for its gamesmanship with any additional time to register

ammonia

In preparing this petition on behalf of Buckman we consulted with scientists and

regulatory consultants at Technology Sciences Group Inc namely Dr Robert Stewart Vice

President and Managing Director and Dr David Brookman Director of Environmental

Chemistry Drs Stewart and Brookman have reviewed and concur in our technical

representations in this petition

-3-
II Both Nalco and Buckman sell ammonia for use in proprietary systems in which

ammonia and sodium hypochlorite react to form MCA which is the active

intredient supplied by each system for water treatment

Use of either Nalcos or Buckmans end-use ammonia product as labeled generates the

same main active ingredient MCA monochloramine which is formed by chemical reaction

that occurs at the time of use The general reaction is as follows

Figure

base

HOCI0C1 NH3/NH4 NHCI NHCI Nd3

Hypoclorous acid Ammonia Monochioramine Dichioramine Nitrogen

hypochiorite ion ammonium ion trichioride

The reaction is normally terminated at the stage where MCA is formed but dichloramine and

nitrogen trichloride also may occur

The nominal active ingredient in Nalcos end-use ammonia product Nalcon 60620 is

ammonium sulfate and in Buckmans end-use ammonia product Busan 1215 is ammonia

total which derives from an aqueous mixture of ammonia and ammonium sulfate Therefore

both products provide ammonia or ammonium ions in the reaction shown in Figure above and

both lead to the in-situ generation of one or more chloramines

According to its label attached hereto as Exhibit Nalcon 60620 is an unregistered

formulation consisting of 20% ammonium sulfate and 80% constituents ineffective as spray

adjuvants presumably water Nalco sells Nalcon 60620 as part of its OxiPROTM Deposit

Control Technology and specifically for use in Nalcos OxiPRO Feed System which is

illustrated and described in Nalco proposal and Nalco slide presentation attached hereto as

Exhibits and respectively Nalcos label for Nalcon 60620 and Nalcos materials on

the OxiPRO Feed System describe process in which Nalco technician adds Nalcon 60620 to

-4-
sodium hypochlorite in molar ratio between 11 and 21 at controlled temperature under

alkaline conditions to produce stabilized oxidant which Nalco does not identify but which is

MCA upon examination

Based upon the available information use of Nalcos OxiPRO Feed System involves the

following preparative steps

Aqueous sodium hypochlorite 12.5% is added to aqueous sodium hydroxide 50%

to produce an initial mixture of sodium hypochlorite sodium hydroxide and water pH

To this initial mixture aqueous ammonium sulfate 20% is added in molar ratio

between 11 and 21 to produce second mixture containing chloramines sodium sulfate

sodium chloride and water.2

The second mixture is diluted with additional water to produce lower concentration

of MCA presumably 10-12 parts per million hereinafter ppmmeasured as total chlorine

which is the target stated in Nalcos June 23 2008 slide presentation Ex at The diluted

mixture is promptly added to the customers process water at the desired points

According to its label attached hereto as Exhibit Busan 1215 is an EPA-registered

formulation EPA Reg No 1448-433 consisting of 7.59% ammonia and 92.4 1% inert

ingredients Buckman sells Busan 1215 as part of proprietary water disinfection system for

pulp and paper mills and industrial cooling systems mill specifically Buckmans Busan 1215

Feed System The Busan 1215 Feed System is illustrated in photograph line drawing and

process diagram attached hereto as Exhibits and respectively

Nalco process description does not permit estimation of the exact composition of the second mixture which may

contain dichioramine and possibly even nitrogen trichloride in addition to MCA

-5-
In the Busan 1215 Feed System Buckman technician adds 0.5 oz of Busan 1215 to

oz of sodium hypochlorite 15% wt/wt to produce MCA under conditions of controlled

temperature and pH Specifically use of the Busan 1215 Feed System involves the following

preparative steps

Aqueous ammonia pH is diluted with water Unlike the OxiPRO Feed System

the Busan 1215 Feed System does not require the addition of base such as sodium hydroxide

because basic conditions are maintained by the ammonia

The initial mixture is added to aqueous sodium hypochlorite 12.5% at minimum

32 molar ratio of sodium hypochlorite to ammonia to produce second mixture of MCA

sodium chloride and water

The second mixture is diluted with additional water to achieve concentration of 0.5

to ppm of MCA in excess of the system oxidant demand maximum of ppm measured as total

chlorine and the diluted mixture is promptly added to the customers process or cooling water

at the desired points

When Busan 1215 is used as directed in the Busan 1215 Feed Process the sodium

hypochlorite/hypochlorous acid is completely consumed and chloramines other than MCA do

not form readily For this reason MCA is the sole oxidant i.e active ingredient in solutions

prepared from Busan 1215

In sum careful examination of Nalcos OxiPRO Feed System and Buckmans Busan

1215 Feed System shows that in both systems ammonia and sodium hypochlorite react to

produce chloramines The Buckman system generates MCA and the Nalco system generates

MCA and possibly also other chloramines The basic chemistry underlying both processes is

familiar and has been known since the early 1900s U.S Envtl Protection Agency Office of

-6-
Water Alternative Disinfectants and Oxidants Guidance Manual April 1999 at 6-1 available

at p/yçj ov7QGWDW/mcIbtlternajjvediinfctantsuidance.df hereinafter

Oxidants Manual In its December 2007 petition Nalco does everything but explain in

accurate chemical terms how ammonia is used in Nalco and Buckman water treatment

systems Accordingly Nalcos avoidance of chemistry obscures the fact that MCA is the

pesticidal active ingredient that results from both Nalco and Buckmans use of ammonia for

water treatment

III Retistration of ammonia is necessary because MCA is too unstable to exist as

marketable commodity no EPA-approved sodium hypochlorite label has

instructions for use with ammonia to safely produce MCA and the continued use of

unretistered ammonia to produce MCA presents unnecessary and potentially

unreasonable risks to human health and the environment

Over period of day or so without any modification of pH or C12N ratio MCA will

degrade slowly to dichloramine specifically to ratio of 43% MCA to 57% dichloramine

which is itself unstable and also has an unpleasant taste and odor to humans Oxidants Manual at

6-2 to 6-3 For this reason it is impractical to bottle and sell MCA as commercial pesticide

product and we have been unable to find any EPA registration of MCA past or present Instead

since the 1930s the universal practice has been to generate MCA in situ i.e at the site of use

for use as water disinfectant Oxidants Manual at 6-1

In 1986 EPAs Environmental Appeals Board affirmed the Agencys authority to register

parent chemical or immediate precursor that does not itself have pesticidal properties but

produces pesticidal action at the site of application when the actual pesticide required to be

regulated under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide.. cannot exist as marketable commodity

and when the parent chemicallimmediate precursor is the only logical chemical through which

the use of the pesticide can be regulated In the Matter of South Coast Chemical Inc

E.A.D 139 145 1986 included as Exhibit hereto Under the foregoing rationale

-7-
ammonia should be registered despite its lack of pesticidal properties because ammonia

produces pesticidal action at the site of application i.e produces MCA at the use site because

MCA cannot exist as marketable commodity due to its instability and because ammonia is the

only logical chemical through which the use of MCA can be regulated

Nalco proposes in effect that the registration of sodium hypochlorite alone is sufficient

to regulate the use ofMCA but there is no EPA registration of sodium hypochlorite that

addresses use with ammonia to produce MCA Nalcos five sodium hypochlorite registrations

EPA Reg Nos 1706-171 -179 -238 -20001 -20002 attached hereto as Exhibit are silent

about any use with ammonia as is the registration of Sunny Sol 150 EPA Reg No 1744-

2000 attached hereto as Exhibit registered sodium hypochlorite product that Nalco

recommends for use with ammonia in Nalcos OxiPRO Feed System Thus maintaining the

status quo Nalco plan will not ensure that users of ammonia and sodium hypochlorite to

produce MCA will have appropriate labeling including warnings precautions and directions for

use that EPA has reviewed and approved to ensure the safe use of MCA as pesticide

theoretical alternative to the status quo is to amend all existing sodium hypochlorite

registrations either to prohibit use with ammonia or to specifically address such use to produce

MCA but this is an impractical solution because there are 211 registrants with 379 registrations

of sodium hypochlorite On the other hand ammonia has only one registrant Buckman and

only one end-use registration for Busan 1215 which is registered specifically for use with

sodium hypochlorite to produce MCA indeed ammonia currently has no other pesticidal use

Accordingly to regulate the use of MCA EPAs best and only practical option is to register

ammonia as precursor of MCA as the Agency has done in Buckmans case and now needs to

do in the case of Nalcon 60620 and all other unregistered ammonia for water treatment

-8-
EPA also needs to register ammonia to ensure that the use of MCA does not present

unreasonable adverse effects on the environment In the case of Busan 1215 for example EPA

required Buckman as condition of registration to obtain letter from the Food and Drug

Administration regarding whether MCA requires food additive tolerance under section 409 of

the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act for any residues of MCA in paper used for food

packaging In addition MCA is toxic to aquatic organisms and Buckmans label includes

directions for use that limit the quantity of MCA added to the customers process or cooling

water to maximum of ppm measured as total chlorine and that tell users how to neutralize any

MCA detected in effluent In other words by registering Busan 1215 EPA was able to ensure

that the MCA produced with Busan 1215 was used safely specifically so as to prevent

unapproved residues in food packaging and aquatic toxicity from residues in effluent

Conversely EPA has not evaluated the use of any unregistered ammonia product to

produce MCA and has no assurances with respect to any residues of MCA in food packaging or

waste water Thus unnecessary and potentially adverse risks to human health and the

environment remain For example Nalcos OxiPRO Feed System releases 10-12 ppm ofMCA

measured as total chlorine to the customers process water which is more than twice the

concentration of MCA permitted by EPA on Buckmans end-use ammonia label Ex at

IV Ammonia does not seQuester or release chlorine and is not an adiuvant ammonia

does react with sodium hypochlorite to produce an entirely new active intredient

MCA which has distinct properties from hypochlorous acid

Nalco identifies chemical substances cyanuric acid diethanolamine disodium zinc

ethylene diamine tetracetate dehydrate ammonium carbamate and product types stabilizers

sequestrants synergists that allegedly perform similar functions as ammonia but are not

registered implying that EPA has acted irrationally in registering Busan 1215 Nalcos Petition

at 12-15 Nalcos reasoning is flawed and misleading however because ammonia is

-9-
precursor of MCA specifically reactant in its formation not an adjuvant Ammonia reacts

with sodium hypochlorite in water to form different chemical compound MCA and both the

ammonia and the sodium hypochlorite are consumed in the reaction Conversely the chemical

substances and products that Nalco identifies do not react to form different chemical compound

or compounds and remain chemically unchanged

Nalco perpetuates self-serving fiction that ammonia merely sequesters and later

releases chlorine hypochlorous acid Nalcos Petition at 6-7 11-12 Ex at Ex at

This characterization is false for several reasons First the use of Nalcos OxiPRO Feed System

unmistakably produces MCA which EPA recognizes as separate and distinct active ingredient

from chlorine Oxidants Manual at 2-30 6-1 Second chemical reaction takes place when

Nalcos ammonia product is used The reaction produces MCA and possibly other chloramines

Third the chemical reaction that produces MCA is not considered reversible In other words

once the chloramine or -amines have formed through chemical reaction they cannot break

down readily into or otherwise produce ammonia and hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite ions.3

Furthermore MCA and chlorine have different chemical and antimicrobial properties

and such differences favor MCA over chlorine in certain applications For example MCA is

increasingly used as secondary disinfectant in drinking water distribution systems because it

decays more slowly and produces substantially fewer disinfection byproducts than chlorine

Oxidants Manual at 6-10 6-27 to 6-29

MCA and chlorine also have different mechanisms by which they inactivate

microorganisms MCA reacts with four amino acids cysteine cystine methionine and

MCA can hydrolyze very slowly in process that can form chlorine Also making solution of MCA strongly

acidic pH 1-2 can cause the MCA to decompose and generate some chlorine Under the conditions under which

MCA is used for water treatment no such hydrolysis or decomposition should occur

-10-
tryptophan and the mechanism of inactivation is thought to involve inhibition of proteins or

protein mediated processes such as respiration Oxidants Manual at 6-12 Also MCA typically

requires multiple hits upon bacterial cells before cell death Oxidants Manual at 6-12 By

contrast chlorine is capable of producing lethal events at or near the cell membrane and of

affecting DNA Oxidants Manual at 2-35 In bacteria chlorine adversely affects cell

respiration transport and possibly DNA activity Oxidants Manual at 2-35 Accordingly MCA

does not kill microorganisms by releasing chlorine or MCA would have the same

antimicrobial properties as chlorine and it does not

Furthermore EPA has determined that MCA does not control as many different

microorganisms as chlorine and hypochlorous acid Oxidant Manual at 2-36 to 2-39 6-13 to

6-15 Accordingly Nalcos unqualified antimicrobial claims for its OxiPRO Feed System

Ex Ex imply level of microbial control that is not provided by MCA The only way to

clearly separate appropriate claims for MCA from those for chlorine and hypochlorous acid is to

register Nalcos ammonia and all other ammonia for water treatment and to properly attribute the

antimicrobial claims for MCA to such ammonia registrations

EPA should promptly deny Nalcos Petition to revoke Buckmans ammonia

retistrations because the Atency has properly retistered Buckmans ammonia as

precursor of MCA for water treatment

As explained in section II above scientific analysis of how ammonia is used in Nalcos

and Buckman proprietary water treatment systems shows unambiguously that MCA is the

active ingredient released by these systems for water treatment As explained in section III

above MCA is too unstable to be bottled and sold as marketable commodity and therefore is

universally produced in situ Accordingly there are no active or inactive EPA registrations of

MCA by which EPA can control the potential risks from using MCA which include unapproved

residues in food packaging and aquatic toxicity To address these potential risks EPA must

11
register one or both of the immediate precursors of MCA sodium hypochlorite or ammonia

With one registrant Buckman one end-use registration Busan 1215 and no other pesticidal

uses ammonia is the best and only practical candidate for registration which EPA has

recognized by registering Buckmans ammonia products after carefttl consideration

Furthermore as explained in section IV above ammonia is precursor of MCA not an adjuvant

Ammonia reacts with sodium hypochlorite to produce new active ingredient MCA which has

distinct properties from hypochlorous acid this reaction is not reversible and ammonia does not

sequester or release hypochlorous acid Thus EPAs decision to register ammonia as precursor

of MCA has no relationship to the Agencys past or present regulatory handling of the adjuvants

identified by Nalco For all of the foregoing reasons EPA properly granted registrations to

Buckman ammonia products and Buckman respectfttlly requests that the Agency deny Nalco

Petition request to revoke Buckmans registrations

VI EPA should immediately prohibit further distribution and sale of unreuistered

ammonia for water treatment because the continued sale of unreuistered ammonia

to the same customers for and for the same uses as Buckmans reuistered ammonia

presents unnecessary and potentially unreasonable risks to human health and the

environment contradicts and undermines the Auencys proper reuistration of

Buckmans ammonia and unfairly damaues the commercial value of Buckmans

retdstrations

If EPA has properly registered Buckmans ammonia as precursor of MCA for water

treatment then Nalcos ammonia also must be registered which Nalco has acknowledged by its

violent reaction to the registration ofBCMW and Busan 1215 As demonstrated in section II

above Nalcon 60620 and Busan 1215 are commercially interchangeable Both products are used

by the same people for the same purpose namely as source of ammonia to produce MCA in

situ for the disinfection of industrial water Nalcos label description of Nalcon 60620 as

stabilizer for active chlorine sources is dishonest in scientific terms because it does not match

the chemical reactions that actually occur in the OxiPRO Feed System

-12-
By letter dated February 2008 attached hereto as Exhibit however EPA has

temporarily accepted Nalcos erroneous description of Nalcon 60620 as chlorine stabilizer

pending further investigation Since then seven months and counting Nalco has aggressively

marketed and sold unregistered ammonia to commercial users who continue to produce and use

MCA without any EPA oversight specifically while Nalco has not had to demonstrate and EPA

has not had the opportunity to confirm that the use of Nalcon 60620 to produce MCA

adequately addresses the potential human health and environmental risks from the use ofMCA

Meanwhile Buckman cannot explain EPAs differential treatment of Nalcon 60620 and

Busan 1215 to customers and because these products are interchangeable in the marketplace

many customers now perceive EPAs registration of Busan 1215 as pointless and unnecessary

an impression that has been reinforced by EPAs failure to date to require the registration of any

ammonia products for water treatment other than Buckman inaction not only

contradicts Buckmans ammonia registrations it unfairly damages their commercial value

Accordingly the longer that EPA discriminates against Buckman by requiring the registration of

Buckmans ammonia while allowing all competitive ammonia products for water treatment to be

sold without registration the better it serves Nalcos desire to delay registration the harder it is

for Buckman to salvage its considerable investment to register ammonia and the longer the

public goes without assurance that MCA is being used safely which is provided only by EPAs

registering all ammonia for water treatment Furthermore Nalco has had more than enough time

to register ammonia and has chosen instead to focus solely on petition process to delay

registration for as long as possible while it continues to compete unfairly against Buckman in the

marketplace with unregistered ammonia that reflects no regulatory costs Thus EPA should not

reward Nalcos delaying tactics and opportunism with any additional time to register For all of

these reasons Buckman respectfully requests that EPA immediately prohibit further distribution

and sale of unregistered ammonia for use in water treatment

VII Conclusion

Buckman has demonstrated that its and Nalcos ammonia products are used in the same

way as precursors to produce MCA by the same industrial users primarily pulp and paper

mills but also facilities with industrial cooling systems who perceive the two products as

interchangeable for water treatment applications disinfection of mill and industrial cooling

water Buckman has shown that its and Nalcos ammonia products do not sequester or release

hypochlorous acid and are not adjuvants and that EPA has the authority to register ammonia

products as precursors of MCA since the registration of MCA itself for water treatment is

impractical Buckman also has shown that only the registration of all ammonia products for

water treatment will ensure that EPA has evaluated any potential risks from the use of MCA and

restore level playing field in the marketplace for industrial water disinfection For these

reasons as explained in this petition we renew our request that EPA deny Nalcos Petition and

immediately prohibit further distribution and sale of unregistered ammonia for water treatment

We welcome an opportunity to discuss our petition with EPA

Questions on Nalco OxiPRO System

What are the reactions that create the active ingredient

The stabilizers in the OxiPRO system when mixed with bleach in specified ratio

form unique stabilized chlorine intermediate prior to being introduced to the

paper making process The stabilized chlorine intermediate ensures that the

chlorine is not consumed by the organic components of the papermaking process

such as fiber and filler This increases the oppofluthtj for the stabilized

intermediate to come in contact with planktonic bacteria or bacteria in biofilm

and then hydrolyze the chlorine back to hypochlorous acid --the biocide

What is the mechanism of disinfection

Disinfection is completed through the action of hypoehlorous acid on bacterial

membranes and oxidation of sulthydryl groups

What species of chlorine are present

Hypochlorous acid is present in the beginning and the end of the stabilization process

What are the by-products.Spent Waste Products

Sulfate in the case of 60620 Hydantoin in the case of 03P0125 minor organic salt in the

case of 60615

What are the health hazards of the active ingredient

The active ingredient is hypochlorous acid HOd The health hazards of HOC1 are

well known an documented

Before the Administrator U.S Environmental Protection

Agency

Opinion by Ronald MeCallum Chief Judicial Officer

INTRODUCTION

This is an appeal by EPA Region IX from an initial decision

of the Chief Administrative Law Judge dismissing an administrative

complaint charging South Coast Chemical Inc of Santa Ana Califor

nia SCC with producing and offering to sell pesticide product

in violation of the registration requirements of the Federal Insecti

cide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act as amended FIFRA U.S.C

136 et seq The dismissal order was issued upon motion without

hearing The Chief Judicial Officer as the Administrators

delegatee has the authority to decide this appeal pursuant to 40

CFR 22.30 1984 For the reasons set forth below the Initial Deci

sion is reversed the complaint is reinstated and this case is re

manded to the presiding officer for further proceedings

BACKGRO UND

SCC produces and sells sodium chlorate solution under the

name of SC 6009 INDUSTRIAL MICROBIOCIDE SC 6009 When

this solution is acidified and added to water aqueous chlorine dioxide

is produced Chlorine dioxide is strong oxidizing agent which is

The specific provisions of FIFRA at issue are 12a 1A and 12a2L Section

12a1A prohibits the distribution offering for sale shipping and holding for sale

of any pesticide which is not registered Section 12a2L prohibits production of

pesticide at an unregistered establishment

used as fungicide or biocide for certain industrial purposes.2 Be cause of the commercial impracticability of transporting aqueous chlo

rine dioxide Sec does not mix its sodium chlorate solution with

water at its production facility rather the mixing process is per

formed at the site of application.3

The record does not state when South Coast Chemical Inc began

production of sodium chlorate at its Santa Ana facility However

on January 25 1983 California state pesticide inspector inspected

the facility and observed that sodium chlorate was being produced

at the site He also obtained samples of promotional literature de

scribing SC 6009 as biocide

On January 24 1983 the day before the inspection SCC sent

letter to EPA Region IX in San Francisco inquiring whether SC

6009 was pesticide subject to FIFRA registration requirements

SCC stated in the letter that

There are no biocidal claims made of the precursors

sodium chlorate solution These are the chemi

cals that would be sold to the customer who would

generate chlorine dioxide at their site for their own

use

SCCs January 24 1983 letter was referred by Region IX to

Dr Reto Engler then Chief of the Disinfectants Branch of EPAs

Registration Division On February 16 1983 Dr Engler responded

to SCCs letter stating that SCCs product was subject to FIFRA

registration requirements Thereafter SCC applied for registration

of its product and its product establishment EPA registered SC 6009

on March 14 1983 and registered the product establishment on

April 13 1983

More than year before SCCs January 24 1983 letter EPA

Region II headquartered in Boston Mass had issued determina

tion that product similar to SC 6009 produced by another chemical

manufacturer was not pesticide as defined by FIFRA and thereThose purposes include controlling microorganisms in oil field injection waters

refinery waste waters enhanced oil recovery systems industrial recirculating water

cooling towers in once-through fresh and sea water industrial cooling water systems

and in pulp and paper mill systems

SCC or the purchaser However the product label submitted to EPA states that

mixing operations will be carried out by South Coast Chemical Inc

fore was not subject to registration requirements.4 The record does

not permit me to reach conclusion as to when 5CC first learned

of the Region II ruling

On October 17 1983 EPA filed an administrative complaint

against 5CC charging that or about January 25 1983 5CC

offered or held for sale the unregistered pesticide SC 6009 and that

SCC produced the pesticide at its unregistered production establish

ment The complaint proposed $4000 civil penalty$2200 for the

alleged unregistered pesticide violation and $1800 for the alleged

unregistered establishment violation

On September 1984 5CC filed motion to dismiss the com

plaint Its motion was granted by the presiding officer on November

27 1984 In his decision the presiding officer stated

Prior to the inspection Respondent having become

aware of similar situation made inquiry of EPA

concerning its product No definitive answer was ever

received Due to an uncertainty during this period

as to the applicability of FIFRA to the product Re

spondent nevertheless registered both the product

and the establishment in March and April 1983 six

months prior to the issuance of the complaint Initial

Decision

The presiding officer concluded that these good faith efforts of re

spondent should have been taken into account since sanctions

permitted by FIFRA are preventative in nature and are not intended

to be Initial Decision This appeal followed

4Letter from Region II to Chemical Generators Inc dated August 21 1981

appeal the Region argued without citation of authority that the presiding

officers statement regarding the preventative nature of the civil penalty provisions

of FIFRA is misstatement of the law and the Congressional mandate represented

by FIFRA While agree with the Regions position that the Complaint should

be reinstated do not agree with its characterization of the civil penalty provisions

of FIFRA FIFRAs civil penalty provisions are similar to those of the Toxic Substances

Control Act TSCA 15 U.S.C 2615 which are remedial in nature rather than

punitive As explained in Briggs Stratton Corporation TSCA Appeal No 811

101 ALC 116 119 Feb 1981

Civil penalties under TSCA are intended to deter through regula

tion not reprimand through punishment Punishment under

TSCA is accomplished through the criminal provisions of 16b

which impose criminal sanctions on persons who knowingly or

willflilly violate the regulations The presence of these criminal

sanctions in 16b and their juxtaposition next to the civil provi

DISCUSSION

On appeal SCC claims that its good faith efforts to find out

whether FIFRA required that SC 6009 be registered should weigh

heavily in its favor and that the presiding officer was correct in

concluding that the complaint should be dismissed The Region claims

that SCCs good faith is not an appropriate basis for dismissal

agree with the Region

FIFRA is strict liability statute Accordingly respondents

good faith is not defense to charge that the statute has been

violated FIFRA is similar in this respect to the Clean Water Act

33 U.S.C 1321b1 In U.S Coastal States Crude Gathering

Co 643 F.2d 1125 5th Cir 1981 the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals

stated

Section 1321 provides no defense to the assess

ment of the civil penalty indeed it establishes an

absolute liability standard which obviates the need

for finding of fault 643 2d at 1125

The court added that shifting the burden of achieving clean waters

to users of those waters albeit good faith non-negligent users

is valid exercise of congressional power Similarly FIFRAs registra

tion requirements provide no exception for pesticide producers or

users who claim that they acted in good faith

Good faith may be factor to weigh in considering whether

proposed penalty should be reduced or even eliminated however

sions in 16a contains this same civil versus criminal

sanction juxtaposition is strong evidence of Congressional intent

to establish statutory scheme which has remedial function

insofar as the civil sanctions are concerned The fact that mone

tary penalties are involved under 16a does not alter this statu

tory scheme term penal is used in different contexts to

mean different things Smith No Galesburg Crown Finance

Corp 615 F.2d 407 414 7th Cir 1980 The context here dictates

the conclusion that the civil penalty provisions are compensatory

and remedial in nature

For the same reasons FIFRAs civil penalty provisions must be viewed as remedial

in nature and not punitive See True U.S Supp ERC 1752

Wyo 1985 civil penalties for oil spills under the Clean Water Act 33 U.S.C

132 1b are compensatory and remedial in nature not criminal and punitive

that regard FIFRA 14aX4 states

Determination of penalty Whenever the Administrator finds

that the violation occurred despite the exercise of due care or

VOLUME
SOUTH COAST CHEMICAL INC 143

whether or not complaint is justified in the first instance is under

FIFRA matter for the prosecutor to decide In the absence of

an abuse of prosecutorial discretion will not substitute my judg

ment for that of the Region

Nothing in this record demonstrates that Region IX abused its

discretion in bringing complaint against SCC On January 25

1983 California pesticides inspector discovered that SCC was pro

ducing pesticide product at its plant in Santa Ana At that time

neither the product nor SCCs production establishment was reg

istered as required by FIFRA SCCs subsequent compliance with

FIFRAs registration requirements six months later does not affect

the fact of the violation

Judge Finch seems to have been influenced by the apparent

uncertainty at EPA as to whether products such as SC 6009 should

be regarded as pesticides However FIFRA makes it clear that

pesticide must be registered before it is produced or marketed Here

it appears that SCC chose to act first and to inquire later about

the Agencys registration requirements and must accept the con

sequences

If the presiding officer is persuaded by SCCs assertion of good

faith however he may take it into account in determining the

amount of the penalty Such claims should be presented at an evi

dentiary hearing where the Region will have the opportunity to

present its own evidence and to conduct cross-examination

While have no reason to question SCCs good faith do not

find in this record sufficient evidence for finding that the company

acted in good faith in trying to determine whether it was subject

to FIFRA registration requirements SCC has asserted but has pro

vided no evidence that it delayed registering its product because

it relied on the Region II letter Morover it has provided no informa

did not cause significant harm to health or the environment the

Administrator may issue warning in lieu of assessing penalty

states

civil penalty as authorized by Section 14a of FIFRA is the

remedy of choice for most violations civil penalty should be

proposed where the violation presents real but not an extreme

tion as to the date when it began to produce and market SC 6009

nor has it stated when the company first learned of the Region

II position.8 As for SCCs claim that EPA never responded to its

inquiry Dr Reto Englers February 16 1983 letter to 5Cc expressly

states that it is in answer to SCCs January 24 1983 letter For

all the foregoing reasons the presiding officers rationale for dismiss

ing the complaint i.e that good faith efforts of Respondent

should have been taken into account is rejected

next consider whether any other rationale exists for dismissing

the complaint In its motion SCC requests that the complaint be

dismissed pursuant to 40 CFR 22.20 for failure to establish

prima facie case because the 5CC exercised every reasonable effort

to comply with FIFRA and timely registered both the product in

issue and the production establishment These grounds for dismissal

of the complaint are no more than restatement of SCCs good

faith claim discussed above and are rejected for the reasons set

forth above.9

SCC also claims that the complaint should be dismissed for fail

ure to state claim upon which relief can be granted 10 in that

the complaint erroneously alleges that SC 6009 is pesticide

as defined in FIFRA and it is based on regulations that are

void for vagueness and unconstitutional These two claims are briefly

discussed below

8Respondents Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Reply to Appellants

Appeal dated December 21 1984 states that SCCs January 24 1983 letter to EPA

had attached to it copy of the Region II letter However the January 24 letter

does not refer to the Region II letter Moreover the only attachment to which the

letter refers is diagram of chlorine dioxide generator Respondents Response

to Complainants Prehearing Conference Memorandum February 23 1984 states that

SCC discussed the Region II letter with David Jones of Region IX on February 22

1984 year later and that copy of the letter was submitted to him on that

date It is noted that letter from Dr Reto Engler of EPA to Region IX dated

March 1984 states Dr Englers opinion that SCC relied on the Region II letter

in concluding that registration was not required

9Moreover SCCs allegation of failure to establish prima facie case is premature

Dismissal for failure to establish prima facie case under 40 CFR 22.20 is similar

to directed verdict under the Federal Rules of Civil Proceduresee FRCP Rule

50a motion for directed verdict is properly made only after complainant has

had an opportunity to submit evidence at trial See e.g Wilson Good Humor Corp

757 F.2d 1293 D.C Cir 1985 Phillips Hardware Wholesalers No 831804 Slip

Opinion 6th CirMay 15 1985

See FRCP Rule 12b6 In the context of this hearing SCCs claim falls within

40 CFR 22.20 which permits dismissal for other grounds show no right

to relief on the part of the complainant

VOLUME
SOUTH COAST CHEMICAL INC 145

Region IX has charged 5CC with violating FIFRA by producing

and selling an unregistered pesticide The Agency has determined

that SC 6009 is pesticide based on its intended use Although

the sodium chlorate solution marketed by SCC does not itself have

pesticidal properties it produces pesticidal action at the site of appli

cation As EPA explained in letter to SCC

SC 6009 is identical to others wherein chemical

when placed in water readily changes to an

other chemical which is the actual pesticide required

to be regulated under the Federal Insecticide Fun

gicide and Rodenticide Act The very fact that the

latter cannot exist as marketable commodity and

only exists in an aqueous medium as it is released

by the parent chemical makes the immediate precur

sor the only logical chemical through which the use

of the pesticide can be regulated.11

The Registration Division acted within its authority in determining

that SC 6009 is pesticide for purposes of FIFRA registration re

quirements and its decision stands

Lastly SCC claims that the complaint should be dismissed be

cause the complaint is based on FIFRA regulations that are unconsti

tutionally vague To entertain such challenge however would vio

late the general rule that attacks on the validity of agency regulations

are rarely entertained in the context of an administrative enforce

ment hearing absent the most compelling of reasons American Eco

logical Recycle Research Corporation RCRA 833 at pp 56 July

18 1985 Moreover the decision to entertain such challenge is

discretionary Id In this instance no compelling circumstances exist

to justifr departure from the general rule

SEWAGE WASTEWATER EFFLUENT TREATMENT

The disinfection of sewage effluent must be evaluated by determining the total number of coliform bacteria and/or fecal coliform bacteria as

determined by the Most Probable Number MPN procedure of the chlorinated effluent has been reduced to or below the maximum permitted by the

controlling regulatory jurisdiction

On the average satisfactory disinfection of secondary wastewater effluent can be obtained then the chlorine residual is 0.5 ppm after 15 minutes

contact Although the chlorine residual is the critical factor in disinfection the importance of correlating chlorine residual with bacterial kill must be

emphasized The MPN of the effluent which is directly related to the water quality standards requirements should be the final and primary standard

and the chlorine residual should be considered an operating standard valid only to the extent verified by the coliform quality of the effluent

The following are critical factors affecting wastewater disinfection

Mixing It is imperative that the product and the wastewater be instantaneousl and completely flash mixed to assure reaction

with even ehemicall actie soluble and particulate component of the 1e\vater

Contacting Upon flash mixing the flow through the system must be maintained

Dosage/Residual Control Successful disinfection is extremely dependent on response to fluctuating chlorine demand to

maintain predetermined desirable chlorine level Secondary effluent should contain to 1.0 ppm chlorine residual after iS

to 30 minute contact time reasonable average of residual chlorine is 0.5 ppm after IS minutes contact time

Subject Nalco Petition

Dear Mr Goldberg

This letter will acknowledge receipt of your December 2007 e-mail mess on

behalf of Nalco requesting that EPA reconsider its registration for two ammonia pri icts

used in connection with chlorine to treat water We are treating this communiCatiol

petition under the Administrative Procedures Act and intend to respond to it in tir

manner in collaboration with our Office of General Counsel

The petition raises several questions that the Agency will need to further

investigate before any decision can be reached During its investigation the Agenc

expects to announce receipt of and invite public comment on the petition since EP

decision may impact other companies and may raise additional issues

Until EPA makes decision on the petition the Office of Pesticide Prograi

would regard Nalcos sale and distribution of ammonia and ammonia products for in

connection with chlorine to treat water to require registration under FIFRA Section

only ifNalco makes pesticidal claim for such products Please do not hesitate to

contact me if you have any questions
