Subject: RE: Confirming DMR Data for Advantage Metals Recycling Facility (MO0115801) 

For #1: 

everything matched my records except Cadmium, I have 0.0000226 mg/L. 

For #2: 

All the Flows have been corrected 

- 1.792 x 10-1 MGD for March 2008 

- 3.2582 x 10-2 MGD for June 2008 

- 4.5616 x 10-2 MGD for Sept 2008 

Also we have gone back five years and corrected all flow data. We were not converting the data, this has been corrected.

Subject: Confirming DMR Data for Advantage Metals Recycling Facility (MO0115801) 

Dear Ms. Williams, 

Thank you for your time on the phone today. Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG) under EPA Contract No. 68-C-02-095 is e-mailing 

you on EPA's behalf to request information on 2008 discharge monitoring reports for the Advantage Metals Recycling facility 

(MO0115801). 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 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 2010 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 2010 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan scheduled for publication in the Federal Register in December 

2010. As part of the 2010 annual review, EPA is evaluating the data in discharge monitoring reports from 2008 and needs further 

information to complete the review. 

We would like to obtain additional information on the following data from Advantage's DMRs. 

1. What were the units and concentrations for: 

- Copper in Sept 2008 (our data show 0.729 mg/L) 

- Mercury in Sept 2008 (our data show 0.00291 mg/L)

- Iron in March, June, and Sept 2008 (our data show 49.9 mg/L, 0.218 mg/L, and 33.6 mg/L, respectively) 

- Cadmium in Sept 2008 (our data show 0.0040000226 mg/L) 

- Silver in Sept 2008 (our data show 0.0056 mg/L) 

2. What are the units for flow? Our DMR data show: 

- 1.792 MGD for March 2008 

- 3.2582 MGD for June 2008 

- 4.5616 MGD for Sept 2008 

We appreciate your help in confirming if the above data are accurate, or if there are units errors in the DMR data, as we expect. 

If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at (703) 633-1673. 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<mailto:swietlik.william@epa.gov>. 

Thanks, 

Ellie Codding
