Kathy, 

Attached is a draft version of Owosso's proposed delisting. Please review the document and 

let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I will still need to review the 

information requested in March concerning the NMP analysis. Please let me know when I 

can expect to get this.

Re: Comments on Draft Delisting Document; 

Owosso Graphic Arts, Owosso, Michigan 

Dear Mr. Lambesis, 

We have reviewed the draft language that you have prepared to propose the delisting of the wastewater 

treatment sludge generated by Owosso Graphic Arts. We are submitting the following comments for your 

consideration prior to publication of the draft delisting in the Federal Register: 

1. Page 14: A statement is included in parenthesis which reads: "How many of what type of samples 

over what time period". Is this information that you are requesting Owosso Graphic Arts provide, 

or is it an internal reminder to add additional information which you already possess prior to 

publication? 

2. Page 19, Condition IV D: The draft delisting specifies that Owosso Graphic Arts must sample and 

analyze at least one sample annually using extraction method 1311 (TCLP), or 1330A in the 

presence of oil and grease greater than 1 %. The petition and delisting was predicated on a 

conservative analysis and estimated TCLP based on totals analysis as described on page 13 of the 

delisting. Owosso Graphic Arts requests that the annual sampling and analysis be consistent with 

the methodologies used during the delisting petition process (ie. using the SW 846 methods 

detailed on page 13 of the draft delisting as totals analysis without extraction methods 1311 or 

1330A). The use of totals analysis should also eliminate the need for oil and grease analysis 

using method 9071B. 

3. Page 19, Condition IV D: The parameter list for annual analysis is not clearly specified. We 

assume that the constituents of interest for the annual sampling are limited to those parameters 

outlined in the table on Page 15 of the draft delisting, and would appreciate verification that this 

is your intent. 

4. Page 22, Condition IV G: Owosso Graphic Arts understands its obligation to notify the EPA of 

significant process changes which may affect the character of the sludge generated in the waste 

water treatment process at the facility. We would appreciate, however, clarification of the EPA's 

definition of "significantly" in this condition. We presume that minor changes in products such 
as supplier changes and product formulation updates initiated by the manufacturer which do not 

change the overall character of the raw material are not significant and do not meet the intent of 

this requirement. Other operational changes which may result in piping and other mechanical 

changes that do not affect the nature of the waste as characterized in the analytical data submitted 

with the petition and its addenda are also interpreted to be outside of this definition. 

5. Page 28; Condition 2: Please refer to comment #3 above regarding the use of totals analysis to 

estimate TCLP concentration for the purpose of comparison with the delisting levels. Owosso 

Graphic Arts requests that the option of using the well documented procedure of dividing the 

totals results by 20 to estimate the TCLP concentration. We request the option of demonstrating 

compliance on an annual basis using methods consistent with those used throughout the delisting 

process. Should data be inconclusive using totals methodologies defined on page 13 of the draft 

delisting, we recognize that analysis using either the method 1311 or 1330A extraction prior to 

analysis will be considered to be definitive. 

Thank you for your consideration of the above comments and concerns. We look forward to 

publication and initiation of the public comment period. Please do not hesitate to contact me if 

questions arise regarding these comments. 

Sincerely, 

Kathy Wilson
