Elsa Potts: 850-245-8589

Keisha Akhavein: 850-245-8585, Email: Keisha.Akhavein@dep.state.fl.us

On November 7th, I called Ms. Potts and left a message. She returned my call and stated that the Koppers 

facility permit is issued by the northeast district and I should contact Keisha Akhavein. 

On November 14th, I called Ms. Akhavein and left a message. 

On November 17th, Ms. Akhavein returned my call. She stated that the DMRs are available in Florida’s 

electronic document management system (OCULUS). She emailed me the link to review the facility’s DMRs. 

She also stated that she was unsure if the facility was a superfund site. I checked the National Priority List and it 

is listed. Please see attached email correspondence.

Hi Keisha,

I apologize for just getting back to you but thank you for looking at the Oculus link again. I checked again as well and now see the 

2013 data available. 

The final piece of information that I need is to confirm if this facility is a superfund site or not. Do you know anyone that could 

confirm this for me? 

Thank you,

Kim

Kim,

After looking at the Oculus link I sent you again, it looks like this DMR is only required quarterly. Therefore, I do think that all of the 

DMRs for 2013 are in Oculus.

Hi Keisha,

I have not heard back from Max, do you know of another contact that could confirm the data for me?

Thank you,

Max,

For most of 2013, we were not keeping the DMRs and scanning them in Tallahassee. They were being sent to the District offices.

I’m not sure who the correct contact for that would be – can you help us figure out who to contact to provide Kim with the DMRs?

Thanks,

Keisha

Keisha and Max,

I wanted to confirm that my email on Nov 19th was received. In addition to confirming the DMR data I describe below I would also 

like to confirm that this is a superfund site. I believe it is on the National Priority List but I wanted to make sure it was the same 

facility. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Kim

Hi Keisha,

Thank you for forwarding my information to Max. 

Max: 

For a little context, Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG) under EPA Contract No. EP-C-12-021,is e-mailing on EPA's behalf to 

request clarification of 2013 discharge monitoring reports for Koppers Inc. (FLS711462). 

EPA reviews publicly-available DMR data to fulfill its review obligation under Section 304(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA). 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 2015 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 2015 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan scheduled for publication in the Federal Register in 2015. As 

part of the 2015 annual review, EPA is evaluating the data in discharge monitoring reports from 2013 and needs further information to 

complete the review.

Specifically, I would like to confirm the flow for Sept 2013 for outfall 001 for this facility. It would also be helpful to confirm the 

other months of data for 2013.

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Thank you!

Hi Kim,

I think that you would need to contact someone in the Northeast District office for that information.

Max, can you please help Kimberly locate the DMRs for 2013 for this facility?

Thanks!

Hi Keisha,

Thank you for sending me this link to the DMRs. I noticed that there are only DMRs available for the period up to March 2013. Do 

you know if we can get copies of the remaining DMRs for 2013? 

Thank you!

Kim
