Re: Response to U.S. EPA Comments on Delisting Petition; 

Owosso Graphic Arts, Owosso, MI 

Dear Mr. Lambesis, 

On November 19, 2007 CTI and Associates, Inc. (CTI) provided written responses to 

your letter dated September 14, 2007 in which you summarized your comments and 

recommendations subsequent to your review of the petition to de-list wastewater 

treatment filter cake generated at Owosso Graphic Arts, Inc., Owosso, MI. 

The following additional information is provided as further clarification of the petition 

dated May, 2005 and the response letter submitted on November 19, 2007: 

Item 3; EPA Comments Letter Date September 14, 2007 

Section Four, II, B. Analytical Data. As stated in the report, please submit the 

results of historical analysis. Please provide all historical analytical from' the 

facility regarding TCE, including waste, water discharge, ambient air, worker 

safety, etc. Also, clarify if the recent composite sampling results are attached in 

Appendix B or E. 

At the time of the initial response to your comments,. Owosso Graphic Arts was actively 

making arrangements to replace Trichloroethylene (TCE) with an aqueous based product. 

The' transition from TCE cleaning to aqueous cleaning was completed prior to December 

20, 2007.. A copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet for the raw material which is 

currently in use in lieu of TCE is provided as Attachment A. 

Owosso graphic Arts staff has confirmed that all unused and spent TCE has been 

removed from the premises. A copy of the waste manifest documenting the removal of 

the remaining material is provided in Attachment B for your records. 
item 5; EPA Comments Letter Date September 14, 2007 

Section 5.5. Please explain why composite samples (as opposed to grab samples) 

were taken for volatile analysis. 

In the response provided on November 19, 2007 we indicated that a series of grab 

samples for was collected and submitted under proper chain of custody for analysis on 

11/15/07. Results are provided as. Attachment C. 

The samples were collected by Terri Zick, CHMM on November 15, 2007. Sample 

volumes were obtained from each of three discrete locations along the filter press. The 

locations were selected to represent the filter cake produced nearest to the wastewater 

inlet, in the middle of the filter press and the point furthest from the inlet. 

Samples were placed with minimal headspace into 4 ounce glass containers prepared by a 

qualified laboratory. Samples were transported on ice to the laboratory for analysis using 

CLP equivalent quality control measures. 

You will note that concentrations of TCE were detected above the method detection limit 

in each of the samples. As you are aware, the samples were collected prior to the 

cessation of TCE usage at the facility. Since that time, Owosso Graphic Arts has 

terminated use of TCE in favor of the aqueous material discussed above. No other 

proceSs within the facility utilizes TCE. Therefore, ICE is not reasonably expected to be 

present in current or future filter cake produced at the site. 

The above information is provided as clarification and amendment of the petition 

submitted in May, 2005 and the response letter submitted on November 19, 2007. Upon 

completion of your review of the above and enclosed information, we would appreciate 

setting up a conference call to discuss the status of the petition. Do not hesitate to contact 

me at any time should questions arise regarding this submittal. . 

Sincerely, 

CTI and Associates, Inc.
