GENERAL
SUBJECT
:
PCB
Discharge
in
February
2000
TOPICS
DISCUSSED
AND
ACTION
TAKEN
I
called
Ivette
Lavorde
from
the
Ecoelectrica
LNG
and
Cogeneration
facility
in
Penuelas,
Puerto
Rico.
This
facility
reports
pollutant
discharges
to
EPA's
Permit
Compliance
System
under
SIC
code
4911
(
Steam
Electric
Power
Generation).
The
facility
reported
a
discharge
of
Polychlorinated
Biphenyls
(
PCBs)
in
February
2000
that
was
uncharacteristic
of
the
other
PCBs
discharges
reported
by
this
facility
in
2000.
All
other
PCB
discharges
were
below
the
detection
limit;
the
discharge
in
February
was
at
the
detection
limit.
The
February
PCB
discharge
resulted
in
this
facility
having
the
largest
toxic
weighted
pound
equivalents
for
the
Steam
Electric
Power
Generation
point
source
category.

Ms.
Lavorde
told
me
that
the
February
2000
PCB
discharge
was
reported
correctly
to
PCS.
However,
she
believes
that
there
was
a
laboratory
error
with
that
sample.
Ms.
Lavorde
stated
that
the
Ecoelectrica
facility
does
not
discharge
any
PCBs.

Because
of
this
information,
I
will
request
that
the
2000
PCB
discharge
at
the
Ecoelectrica
facility
be
set
to
zero
in
the
PCS
database
that
ERG
is
using
in
the
national
strategies
analysis.
