CONTACT
SUMMARY:
I
called
Mr.
Beil
to
inquire
about
emissions
from
the
3M
facility
located
in
Hutchinson,
MN.
Mr.
Beil
told
me
that
he
is
in
the
process
of
writing
the
Title
V
permit
for
the
Hutchinson
facility.
(
3M
submitted
the
Title
V
application
for
that
facility
in
1997.)
Per
the
permit
application,
there
are
approximately
300
emission
units
and
3M
makes
more
than
1,000
different
products
at
that
facility
­­
including
ScotchTM
Tape.
Mr.
Beil
also
stated
that
there
are
two
main
production
buildings
at
the
Hutchinson
facility
and
they
are
roughly
the
same
size.
One
of
the
buildings
does
not
involve
magnetic
tape
manufacturing
at
all
and
it
is
only
a
small
part
of
the
total
production
activities
(
and
emissions)
in
the
other
building.

Mr.
Beil
said
he
could
probably
estimate
the
percentage
of
emissions
coming
from
magnetic
tape
operations
at
the
facility
using
some
of
the
permit
application
information,
but
he
thought
someone
at
3M
could
probably
do
it
more
accurately
and
more
quickly.

I
also
asked
if
3M
had
submitted
any
type
of
health
risk
assessment
for
the
Hutchinson
facility.
Mr.
Beil
stated
they
(
3M)
had
submitted
a
modeling
protocol
and
that
MPCA
had
just
sent
their
review
comments
back
to
3M
about
2
weeks
ago.
Based
on
a
recent
phone
conversation
between
MPCA
and
3M,
the
3M
engineers
said
there
are
only
a
couple
of
substantive
issues
(
of
the
30
review
comments
that
MPCA
had)
to
be
ironed
out.
Both
parties
are
still
hopeful
that
the
modeling
protocol
can
be
finalized
by
June
30,
2002.
Once
the
protocol
is
finalized,
Mr.
Beil
would
consider
it
to
be
a
public
document
(
available
to
the
general
public).

ACTION
ITEM:
Vince,
do
we
need
to
verify
our
earlier
assumption
concerning
the
risk
analysis
being
specific
to
the
magnetic
tape
source
category?
Does
the
cumulative
risk
factor
get
taken
into
account
at
any
time
during
our
risk
analysis?
The
3M
Hutchinson
facility
appears
to
be
an
example
of
a
facility
with
high
emissions
levels
associated
with
multiple
source
categories.
