TOPICS
DISCUSSED
AND
ACTION
TAKEN
I
contacted
Dave
Gardner,
the
public
contact
for
ExxonMobil
Chemical
in
Baton
Rouge
(
TRI
Facility
ID
70805XXNCH4999S),
to
inquire
about
the
reported
releases
of
polycyclic
aromatic
compounds
to
surface
water.
In
2000,
the
facility
reported
1,801
pounds
of
PAC
released
to
surface
water.
In
2001,
the
facility
reported
8,324.9
pounds
of
PAC
released.

I
asked
Mr.
Gardner
if
he
could
confirm
that
the
reported
discharges
were
correct,
and
if
he
could
comment
on
why
the
PACs
releases
increased
to
such
a
degree
in
2001.
Also,
I
asked
Mr.
Gardner
if
he
could
comment
on
whether
benzo(
a)
pyrene
was
the
primary
constituent
reported
as
PACs.

Mr.
Gardner
requested
written
confirmation
from
EPA
that
ERG
is
a
contractor
supporting
EPA
in
the
evaluation
of
TRI
data.
After
receiving
confirmation
from
Carey
Johnston
of
EPA/
EAD,
Mr.
Gardner
referred
me
to
the
plant's
environmental
manager,
Dave
Fellows
(
