Review
of
the
TWPE
Loads
for
Selected
Inorganic
Chemicals
Manufacturing
Facilities
Calculated
Using
Data
from
the
2000
PCS
Database
This
memorandum
presents
the
results
of
a
review
of
the
Toxic
Weighted
Pound
Equivalent
(
TWPE)
loads
for
selected
inorganic
chemicals
manufacturing
facilities
calculated
using
data
from
the
2000
Permit
Compliance
System
(
PCS)
database.
It
provides
background
information
on
the
inorganic
chemicals
manufacturing
facilities
that
discharged
90
percent
of
the
TWPE
load,
discusses
the
pollutants
with
the
highest
TWPE
loads,
and
identifies
the
inorganic
chemicals
manufacturing
facilities
that
discharged
the
pollutants
with
the
highest
TWPE
loads.
The
2000
PCS
database
only
contains
pollutant
loads
for
major
direct
discharging
facilities.
Pollutant
loads
discharged
by
indirect
dischargers
are
available
in
the
2000
Toxic
Release
Inventory
(
TRI)
database.

Background
Eleven
of
the
inorganic
chemicals
manufacturing
facilities
in
the
2000
PCS
database
discharged
90
percent
of
the
total
TWPE
load
for
the
inorganic
chemicals
manufacturing
industry.
Three
of
the
facilities
have
a
SIC
code
of
2812,
one
has
a
SIC
code
of
2816,
and
seven
have
a
SIC
code
of
2819.
The
TWPE
load
for
the
non­
conventional
and
priority
pollutants
discharged
by
the
11
facilities
was
853,568.
Attachment
A
contains
the
TWPE
loads
for
each
of
the
11
facilities,
the
percentage
of
the
total
TWPE
loads
for
each
facility,
and
the
cumulative
percentage
of
total
TWPE
load
for
each
facility.

Pollutants
With
High
TWPE
Loads
The
TWPE
loads
for
eight
pollutants
comprise
90
percent
of
the
total
TWPE
load
for
inorganic
chemicals
manufacturing
facilities
in
the
2000
PCS
database.
The
eight
pollutants
and
the
TWPE
load
for
each
pollutant
are
listed
in
Table
1.

Three
of

and
five
are
non­
conventional

Two
of
the
pollutants
(
i.

account
for
approximately
51
percent
of
the
TWPE

for
the
above
eight
pollutants.

For
each
of
the
eight
pollutants
in
the
Table
2,
one
inorganic
chemicals
manufacturing
facility
discharged
most
of
the
TWPE
load
for
the
pollutant
in
the
2000
PCS
database.
For
four
of
the
pollutants,
one
facility
discharged
100
percent
of
the
load.

The
effluent
limitations
guidelines
(
ELG)
for
the
inorganic
chemicals
manufacturing
industry
contain
limits
for
the
following
five
of
the
top
eight
pollutants:
lead,
iron,
total
residual
chlorine,
mercury,
and
sulfide.
If
EPA
decides
not
to
establish
limits
for
the
other
three
pollutants
in
an
ELG,
limits
for
those
pollutants
and
revised
limits
for
pollutants
currently
controlled
in
the
ELG
could
be
established
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis
in
a
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
permit
based
on
Best
Professional
Judgement.
This
is
a
feasible
approach
because
only
11
of
the
94
inorganic
chemicals
manufacturing
facilities
in
the
2000
PCS
database
discharged
90
percent
of
the
TWPE
load
for
the
pollutants
in
the
database
and
because
a
high
percentage
of
the
TWPE
load
for
each
pollutant
was
discharged
by
one
facility.
