On January 4th, 2013 I called the Louisiana DEQ and was transferred to Kelly Peterson (225-219-3752). She 

took my contact information and told me that someone would get back to me early next week. She also told me 

to contact Tyler Ginn (225-219-3931) or her if I don’t hear from anyone next week.

On January 7th, 2013 at 3pm, Christine Mayeux returned my call (225-219-3767). She stated that for IMC 

Phosphates the radium values were showing up as a violation for February 2011 and the new value should be 

4,350,000 picocuries/day. She also stated that the Honeywell TSS discharges for Oct-Dec 2010 were high but 

correct. I told her that we were looking at other pollutants for these two facilities. She requested an email with 

the details of the pollutants and outfalls we wanted to confirm for 2011 for the two facilities. I sent an email on 

1/8/13 to Christine.mayeux@la.gov. 

On January 17th, 2013 I called and left a message for Ms. Mayeux to confirm that she received my email and to 

see if she had any questions. See attached email communication.

Kimberly,

We have looked at the numbers, and all appears to be correct. Some of the numbers might be off by a couple due to 

rounding on your spreadsheet. The permit requires lbs/day (you all have listed kg/d) for all values except flow and 

the sulfate concentration at outfall 006 where you all have listed kg/d. We had to convert the numbers and then 

check them against the DMRs. One error was found: 

LA0029769 6/2011 Outfall 002 Fluoride: 3004 lbs/day was reported on the DMR and this was incorrectly entered 

into ICIS. The value has been changed and now your spreadsheet should have @1362.59 kb/day for this value.

Subject: 2011 DMR Clarification Needed for Louisiana Facilities

Dear Ms. Mayeux, 

Thank you for returning my phone call. 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 2011 discharge monitoring reports for IMC Phosphates 

Company in Donaldsonville, LA (LA0029769) and Honeywell International Incorporated in Baton Rouge, LA 

(LA0000329). 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 technologybased 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 2013 

annual review of existing 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 2013 

Effluent Guidelines Program Plan scheduled for publication in the Federal Register sometime in 2013 or 2014. As 

part of the 2013 annual review, EPA is evaluating the data in discharge monitoring reports from 2011 and needs 

further information to complete the review. 

We would like to obtain additional information on the following flow and concentration data for the two facilities. 

The attached excel spreadsheet presents our records of the values that were discharged. 

IMC Phosphates Company, Donaldsville, LA

Flow, Outfall 001

Fluoride, Outfall 002

Aluminum, Outfall 002

Cadmium, Outfall 002

Sulfate, Outfall 002

Sulfate, Outfall 006

Honeywell International Incorporated, Baton Rouge, LA

Hexachlorobenzene, Outfall 001

Benz[a]anthracene, Outfall 001 

Benz[a]anthracene, Outfall 003

Chrysene, Outfall 003

Benzo[k]fluoranthene, Outfall 003

Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Outfall 003

We appreciate your help in confirming if the attached data are accurate. 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
